It’s hard to find under the radar Châteaux in the commune La Gaffelière just south of the village of Saint Emilion. It’s hallowed ground in Bordeaux where Parker 100 pointers, Château Ausone and Pavie rule the roost. These are once in a lifetime Saturday nighters for most of us so I take special pride in finding those châteaux in the right neighborhoods that deliver over the top value.
Few chateaux enjoy the locale of Clos Castelot. Just a stone’s throw from Ausone (whose average price for the 2015 was a cool $900!?!), old vines and the classic sand-clay-limestone soils of southern Saint Emilion coupled with the 97 point 2015 vintage gives us one of the Bordeaux deals of the year.
Clos Castelot’s aromatics are off the charts in 2015, be sure to drink this wine in a big glass. Red flowers and blackberries just blast from the glass and continue to evolve….if you can resist, try a bottle of over 3 days. Incredible. Delicious now, sure to be delicious over the next 15 years, there are very few wines under $25 that deliver this level of complexity and aging potential, don’t miss it.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
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!
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
