My never-ending quest to find phenomenal under $30 Napa Cabernet has taken a turn. It’s officially become my side-job, no longer just a hobby. As fires have raged through the valley – winemakers have had more important calls to take than mine and many have lost nearly everything – including many of the wines I might ordinarily be seeking.
For years, my first call for quality Cabernet has almost always been to Ry Richards (Sueno Profundo, Chappellet, Fiancetto). If you’ve read our last call email, you know that those are in short supply. But always one to help, Ry was who first made the introduction to Phil Titus.
Phil’s reputation preceded himself as one of Napa’s great Cabernet winemakers responsible for much of the success at Chappellet as well as Titus Vineyards, and Sonoma Loeb amongst others.
In particular, his work atop Pritchard Hill at Chappellet, turning around a winery that once struggled, but has since churned out countless 98-100-pt scores with a fleet of $$$ wines that are gobbled up by the wine list that takes years to get in.
But as I would find out, the project closest to his heart is the one with his brother Eric, making wines off the family’s 50 acre estate in the heart of St. Helena. They were some of the early ones, purchasing the estate in 1968 and immediately replanting the vineyard from obscure jug wine varietals to Bordeaux grapes and a few precious parcels of Zinfandel.

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.
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.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
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!
