Dr. Paul Skinner knows as much about vineyard soil as just about anyone in the world. The “wine doctor” got his p.h.D from UC Davis in 1988 for Soil Science and Viticulture while simultaneously working for wine icons Louis M. Martini and Chuck Wagner of Caymus and helping them navigate through the difficult phylloxera epidemic of the late 1980’s.
His reputation for plant and soil health spread like wildfire with the best wineries up and down California lining up to leverage his expertise. He has worked with Beaulieu, Robert Mondavi, Sutter Home, Domaine Chandon, Hanzell, Hess Collection, Sebastiana, Chateau St. Jean, Whitehall Lane, Chimney Rock, Iron Horse, Pride Mountain, Paloma, Terra Valentine and David Abreu’s portfolio of clients… to name a few.
With meticulously tended vineyards by the “Wine Doctor” Paul Skinner, a vintage like 2014 will pretty much take care of itself. Skinner is loath to take credit for the perfection that hit this bottle, instead saying that when conditions are particularly favorable, healthy plants produce exceptional fruit.This striking cab blend is enormous and at 43% OFF on bottle one, 49% OFF on case purchases, it’s a steal. If you want a wine that’s big enough to answer your every day barbecue needs, this one is up for the task.

When I tasted this wine last week, I immediately thought one thing, this full-bodied Red would be perfect with some Spring grilling.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
