Phil Titus was already a beast in Napa Valley and pretty much everybody knew it. But the 100-point score for his 2016 Chappellet launched him to immediate international acclaim.
And while everyone needs a day job, Phil’s passion project was the one with his brother, Eric, producing knockout wines off the family property. The estate is in the heart of the St. Helena Appellation at the base of Howell Mountain. The vines flow seamlessly from the Silverado Trail to the Napa River, separated into 16 blocks.
This is quite literally, priceless real estate today. Phil’s parents bought ‘the ranch’ in 1968 and as one of Napa’s revolutionary pioneers, immediately ripped out the cash cow jug grapes that had been growing there for 50 years – Mondeuce, Burger, and Golden Chasselas. Their thought was given the mixture of dusty clay, sand, and river loam soils and the perfect weather – Bordeaux varieties could rival their French counterparts.
They were right and for years, the Napa elite gobbled up all their grapes for their wines. Only in the Phil and Eric decide to produce and bottle the wine under the family crest. The wines have been remarkable but none more so than the 2018 from Wine Spectator’s 99-point vintage.

93 Points, James Suckling
Avignonesi’s wines took Nicholas Wines by storm last year with their ‘Grifi’ SuperTuscan, a highly rated, highly delicious bottle that put the winery firmly on my radar. It’s a great bottle of wine, but at this price – it completely overdelivers which is exactly what you’re looking for.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
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.
92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Wine Spectator
Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
