When we found Chateau Sipian, a jewel of an estate, just north of Saint Estephe and a couple of blocks off the D2, it could not have been a more pleasant surprise. The newly released 2019 is coming out of the gate like an angry bull, showing some much energy and liveliness. There’s probably a reason for that. A number of people have referred to the 2019 as a miracle vintage. Wine Enthusiast raved, “The 2019 Bordeaux vintage is a cross between the openness of 2009, a popular vintage for American wine lovers, and the more structured 2010”. That’s wildly good praise!
This one is flat-out delicious, redolent of black cherries, violets and cedar with a concentrated core of cassis fruit and a mineral finish that goes way longer than any $25 bottle of wine should. The aromatics here soar, redolent of super-ripe red cherry, red plum, and cedar. In the mouth, the fruit is concentrated yet balanced with great tension, with flavors of bright red/purplish berry fruit, wild flowers, savory spice, anise and underbrush all developing in the glass. Silky tannins wrap it all together in a long, fresh finish. Medium in body and all class, the ‘19 Sipian is an absolute winner.

Grilled or roasted beef or lamb will be a great complement but the wine is versatile enough to work with roasted poultry or mushroom dishes.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
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!
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.
