Sueno Profundo is a brilliant little winery dedicated to making killer Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the best appellations in the Napa Valley. Ry’s day job is at Chappellet; one of the Grand Cru wineries of Napa. That experience not only gives him first hand instruction on how to make world class Cabernet, but also an understanding of which grape growers up and down the Valley have the very best deal on grapes. Tasting his wines, one realizes very quickly, Ry is star on both fronts.
Each of his releases over the last few years rank among our of most requested reorders. This year’s issue is from the northeastern corner of the Valley, a rocky, foreboding landscape more like the surface of the moon than a fertile, lush valley. But old vines work best in soil that makes them work the hardest. The berries here are tiny, packed with flavor, with thick skins that provide for great aromatic complexity and fine, elegant tannins that tightly wrap that dark berry fruit. The 2017 Napa Valley Cab is a delicious bottle of wine, jet-black to the core, with layered fruit and a complex, mile-long finish. It will be nearly impossible not to drink this wine right now for the sheer pleasure of the fruit but feel free to lose a few bottles in the cellar, there’s plenty of structure.
Ry hasn’t left his day job at Chappellet yet and we’re in on the ground floor so the price of this Cabernet is ridiculously cheap. When production grows, the scores come in and we have to deal with his marketing team, the price is going to go north in a hurry. You won’t be sorry.

A juicy NY strip or hamburger off the grill!
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
