The minute we tasted the first Napa Valley Cabernets from 2013, we knew it was going to be a historic vintage, and we weren’t alone. Antonio Galloni wrote, “2013 will go down as one of the all-time great vintages for Napa Valley.” Robert Parker declared 2013 “one of the greatest vintages in 37 years.” A…
When we saw the dusty, untouched pallet in the corner, we knew we weren’t done tasting for the day. We hounded our hosts at Castellucci Napa Valley to pry open a box and pop a cork. They indulged us—and what we tasted was the most perfectly aged, silkiest library Merlot we’ve had in half a…
Craftsmanship from Rully’s Rising Star Vincent Dureuil’s wines are catapulting the Côte Chalonnaise onto the radar of white Burgundy lovers in France and abroad. Their ascension is propelled by his own cachet as a winemaking wunderkind — a reputation he’s been building since he took over his father’s estate in his early twenties. The terroir-driven…
Chad’s Perfect Storm … Antonio Galloni’s Napa Valley “Modern-Day Classic” Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker’s hand-picked successor, may have said it best in a vintage report published last week, under the heading “2013 – A Modern-Day Classic.” “The second year in the current drought cycle and precocious growing season produced powerful, inky wines with huge fruit,…
Two Green Jackets and Chad’s 8-Page NDA A year ago, when Chad called to give us first shot at his 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve, he was flying high. “There are just 12 barrels.

Chad’s Private Reserve Mystery … and a SECOND 8-Page NDA A bit more than a year ago, when Chad called to give us first crack at the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve, he was flying high. “There are just 12 barrels.

A Call from Stags Leap: 2013 CHAD Cabernet Sauvignon It was 2009. The country was teetering on the financial abyss, with Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, and the entire American auto industry all needing bailouts. It had taken longer than many of us had predicted, but the mayhem on Wall Street had finally reached Napa…
2013 CHAD Russian River Pinot Noir … And a Dozen Buster Posey Rookie Cards We first met Chad in the summer of 2009 at a Napa Valley BBQ. The young winemaker had recently hatched an idea to help his winemaker buddies hold on to their jobs as Napa Valley was rattled by the Great Recession….
Iconic Rhône Heavyweight in Magnum Nearly every serious wine collector in the world is now well acquainted with the Perrin family’s iconic Châteauneuf-du-Papes at Château de Beaucastel, which were Robert Parker’s first 100-point superstars outside of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Ever since their first taste of perfection, this estate has been on fire. For collectors, or…
Château Montrose rules the Médoc “Super Seconds” because it stacks up with the First Growths: In the 2013 vintage, it tied Margaux and was right on the tail of Mouton and Haut-Brion, all bottles that cost at least 4X more. The wine’s striking power and longevity is primarily the product of their extraordinary terroir, which…
No “Next Time” on a Zin This Rare The 2013 Chester’s Anvil Zinfandel is a Napa Valley lightning strike: a gorgeous wine born of an inspired joint venture between former Mondavi winemaker Steve Lagier, accomplished UC Davis enologist Carole Meredith, and coveted consultant Aaron Pott (Blackbird, Quixote, Somnium). The three legends worked together for just…

Stags Leap’s Clos du Val: Wine Advocate’s “Greatest Vintage in 37 Years” It used to be that even in the most exceptional vintages, even the most revered estates in Napa Valley would craft special blends for 5-star hotel chains, hedging their bets against a down market. But with the high-end market never more robust, that…
