Excellent video editing! This is one of my favorite videos of yours John. There is so much work involve to make a wine so we can have it in our table. The skills and vinificaciones methods, the client, the soil where the vineyards sleep and their human care. I always say that in order to appreciate a wine, we have to learn, to study, to try wines. You really share invaluable knowledge John. Your recent purchases of these precious Napa Valley wines are phenomenal!! And I rest my case about learning from your great explanation of that gorgeous Mayacama. WoW! (Mention apart Matacama) 2003 was a memorable experience to me. Santé

Don't frown. Just Smile. Especially Napa Valley wines always make us smile. :)

This is such a tremendous review and discussion of Napa Valley wines and producers. It reflects the magnitude and depth of your knowledge and experience about this incredible wine region and its stellar wines. I very much appreciate your reassurance with regard to your recommended wines NOT being cloyingly sweet. I detest Cabernet Sauvignons that are unbearably sweet and syrupy. I think I would definitely enjoy this Mayacama Cab, and I love the label “M” — I feel like I should really own a bottle of this.😂 Also appreciate your discussion of M’s winemaking style and process as well as your review of the wines you have tasted. That combination of balance and freshness sounds so delightful! The rest of the wines and producers that you mentioned are equally interesting and definitely worth seeking out. I enjoyed listening to your stories and wine assessments! Very impressed with the age-worthiness of the wines you have tried/purchased and those that you are collecting. Congratulations on this outstanding, intelligently written, and excellently presented video. I always learn something from your digital content whether here on YouTube or in our wine community on Instagram. Santé, John!

Love some of the Merlot that comes from Mt. Veeder and Howell Mt. Mt. Brave Chris Carpenter and Robert Foley RF Vineyards make awesome Cab Sauv Like Merlots. I have some 16 and 18 Ontogeny from Bevan that I have yet to open and The Dunn Cab Sauvignon Howell Mt. is a Beast. I would hold at least 10 years before opening that. Enjoyed the Video, Good Stuff 🍷

Macdonald!! A big baller wine... I'm a huge Mayacamas guy myself

[davidintili]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I appreciate them very much. Do you do it online class? Also My Wife wanted me to ask you what are your thoughts on Faust?

[pinksour]

Excellent Somm! We will request you to make videos on 2nd, 4th and 5th growth as well, Thank you🙏

[doublewides]

Great video. I stay away from California Chardonnays because I’m not a fan of the style so it’s good to know that Mayacamas is a name I can add to my list. I really do wish the industry would come up with a way to make clear on the label what style of Chardonnay is in the bottle.

[numanuma]

You should have visited Matthiasson. One of my favorite wineries in Oak Knoll. The Phenix Vineyard Cabernet is my favorite Cabernet Sauvignon they make.

[RicardoTroutman]

Loved learning from this lineup! I just wish I could keep up with some of these. 2 bottles of each please! 😂

[simplyguy]

With over 450+ wineries in Napa Valley, curious how did you go about narrowing it down to a select few? It seems like an overwhelming task. There literally has to be several hundred that you haven’t had., genuine question 😊 great content as always 👍🏼

[Smiding]

Napa red cabs are my favourite wine I think. Recently bought some from DAOU and are looking into a few Schrader 2012, T6, RBS and if I'm lucky the old sparky. They are a little more expensive over here in europe but It's worth it I think. ofc I know these are super expensive but have you seen the crazy prizing of the first growths bordeaux this year? Duclot wants $1500 for the top vintages, it's insane.

[HolmScott]

Drinking 2013 Davis Estates Howell Mountain Cabernet, very good and very ready to drink

[michaelmackay]

What do you think of Pride Mountain or Larkmead wines? I don’t think I’ve heard you speak about either before.

[gustavomgomes]

Certainly one of the best reviews of Napa Valley wines. You did a real service to the great producers that don’t bend to the opulent / sugary / fruit bomb market, and still do classic and timely wines that made the region one of the most a acclaimed of the world . I would like to congratulate you on that . And also, to mention 3 more examples of this producers : PHILIP TOGNI, CATHY CORISON, and JOHN BREMER ! Cheers and thanks a lot !

[sanjaypatelmd]

I love all your wine recommendations and other then McDonald wine i have all in my cellar!

[carlcadregari]

For the mayacamas Chardonnay, more Chablis than Macon? Great info.

[canaltijuanero]

in your opinion, what is the most reliable calificator.. WE JS RP or Decanter? to be honest ... Decanter I think its the most reliable

[vfolsen]

Had the Mayacamas cab 2016 yesterday. Super smooth and balanced but I feel maybe there is better choices at that price point.
