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!
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
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.
