The Torres name carries great weight throughout the wine world – but especially in Spanish speaking countries. The family has been named Drink International’s ‘Most Admired European Brand’ for over a decade and they’ve been able to do that by finding value and possibilities in areas that others haven’t even thought to look.
In the early 1980’s, Miguel Torres opened one of the first Chilean wineries with his eyes firmly set on the export market. He was met with some doubt, but not for long as he quickly found out his wines had a chameleon effect when he was selling them. Time after time, he fooled importers and distributors who were positive they were tasting wines from France. His Chardonnay mirrors white Burgundy. His Carmenere and Cabernet can fool people into thinking they came from Bordeaux.
In his 30 years of Chilean winemaking, Miguel Torres has consistently outpaced those around them and built a reputation for excellence and innovation. It’s probably why the Chilean Wine Association named Miguel Torres’ winery the Winery of the Year in 2018 – that and wines like his 2018 Cordillera Cabernet, that completely shine on any stage.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cordillera de Los Andes comes from Maipo and spent 12 months aging in French barrels, 20% of them new. Garnet red in color. The nose is dominated by black currant and spice over sour cherry notes shaped by the time spent in the barrel. In the mouth, it’s something else entirely: accomplished freshness and juice are accompanied by fine-grained tannins and good volume, which comes packed full of flavor, followed by a long, bold, slightly compact finish in which the tannins linger pleasantly.
91 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The classical Maipo 2018 Cordillera Cabernet Sauvignon is minty, herbal and spicy, a textbook example of the place, variety and vintage. It has a very intense palate with a medium body and fine-grained tannins that leave a stony sensation.
91 Points, James Suckling
Dark fruit with woody notes and dried-herb undertones. Medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Fleshy and structured with rounded feel and good drinkability. 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.
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!

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
