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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
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.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
