With almost a cult-like following around the country, demand has driven up the price on some of Joey’s treasures, there’s nothing he makes in my opinion that can top his sensational Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah, (especially not this year with its 3 scores of 96 points or more). Luckily, Tensley remains committed to merging outstanding quality with affordability which is why he launched the Fundamental lineup in 2017.
Don’t confuse Fundamental with a “second label” though. Last month all five Fundamental releases were scored by Parker’s Wine Advocate. Even without the king at the helm, Tensley found himself in familiar territory – all five wines earned 92-point reviews. For releases $20 or less, that kind of praise just doesn’t happen. But I tasted the full lineup a few weeks ago, and nothing that Tensley has earned hasn’t been well deserved. Five very different wines, all qualitatively excellent.
Since it seems like forever since we’ve had a lights out $20 domestic Pinot Noir, I made sure I could lock up everything I could. 20 cases of a special Santa Barbara Pinot are now officially up for grabs. Just $20/bottle today while our inventory lasts… down all the way to $18/btl on case orders. This is a gem.

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
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.
