I’m always surprised by the Banshee wines. It feels to me like a winery that’s been around forever, but in reality they’ve only been around less than 15 years with a tasting room that has only been open for a decade. Probably I think that because of how popular their wines have become – and for good reason.
Banshee’s wines offer buyers some of the best values in California out of the beloved Sonoma County. They don’t make strictly value wines – some of their single vineyard stuff can get up into the $70-80/bottle range – but for values like today’s offer – they’re really hard to top.
How many Sonoma County Pinot Noirs for under $25/bottle do you think get three separate 91-point or higher reviews from major publications?? I assure you, you can count them all on one hand.

This elegant, energized wine combines bright raspberry and red-cherry aromas with flinty, mineral accents and lip-smacking red and black cherry flavors. It shows great balance and will be fun to watch as it matures further. Best through 2023.
91 Points, Wine Spectator
“Brisk and bright, with a mix of cherry and pomegranate notes dotted with a savory hint. Reveals a light flash of red tea on the finish. Drink now through 2023.”
91 Points, Tasting Panel
“Earth and spiced cedar confirm the wine’s savory character. Exotic floral tones of prickly pear and hibiscus work well with Chinese five-spice and black raspberry. High-toned acidity keeps a freshness throughout.”

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.

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.”

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.
