Matt has always had an ace up his sleeve – 125-year-old vineyards planted on the rolling Delhi sand just across the bay by his grandfather and a few other family friends. The bush-trained vines struggle each year to produce the tiniest amount of fruit producing wines of immense character unlike anything you’ve ever tasted anywhere in the U.S.
When we offered this back in April, it was quickly gobbled up by Zinfandel lovers. But that was before the critics spoke. This summer, both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast wrote glowing 91-pt score (the latter gave it an Editors’ Choice designation) reviews about the wine. We got a little worried. Would the wine still be around in the fall? Yes, yes it would. As long as we didn’t wait until November!
This is a must buy for any fans of big, dense, complex wines and the one Zinfandel blend that gets Napa Cab fans raving.

91 Pts, Wine Spectator
Refined and well-built, with vibrant wild berry, smoky sage and pepper flavors that take on speed toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2025.
91 Pts, (Editors’ Choice) Wine Enthusiast
This wine is a good all-around performer that starts with effusive berry and spice aromas, followed by mouth filling raspberry and blackberry flavors. Interesting nuances of dried herbs and light oak tones arise on the full-bodied palate.
This is a must buy for any fans of big, dense, complex wines and seemingly the one Zinfandel blend that gets Napa Cab fans raving.

90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
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.
92 Pts, James Suckling – 90 Pts, Vinous
This offer is really an easy one. Two of the greatest wine pioneers from two different hemispheres (Baron Eric Rothschild from ‘Chateau Lafite Rothschild’ and Nicolas Catena from ‘Catena’) join forces to make a delicious, Bordeaux style Malbec, crafted nearly 4600 feet above sea level and offered for a fantastic price. This beauty that Vinous called, “remarkably intense” is a case-buy all the way every single vintage released. Only 30 btls to sell though… sorry in advance!
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.
