After 150 years & Spain’s most impressive portfolio of real estate in the country – you’d think the Torres Family might rest on their laurels – but they’ve been on an ambitious tear. We’ve been happy to play a small part in the past year – picking up most of the allocation that was destined for the very top restaurants up and down the east coast.
The family is constantly innovating. Fresh off last year’s Drink International’s “Most Admired Brand in Europe” recognition, they sent a boatload of their latest project, a 97-point recipient from Decanter, their Pazo de Bruxas Albarino across the pond. With few by-the-glass pours to be found, the Nicholas faithful gobbled it up. Those of you who locked into that wine have continued to tell me how much you liked it and understandably so. That wine is killer.
But there was another new project that got stopped dead in its track that was perhaps even more interesting. Having pretty much conquered Tempranillo throughout the rest of Spain, the Torres family set their sights on variety’s homeland – the heart of Rioja.
But tradition in Rioja runs back generations – too far back some might say. And while the terrain and weather is the one and only ideal spot for Tempranillo – the family did not want to follow arcane winemaking just for the sake of it.

Dark cherry, plum, cedar and tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. Nicely structured with lively acidity that provides freshness. Chalky and soft texture with a flavorful finish.

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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
