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.

92 Points, James Suckling
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.

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.
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.
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.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
