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.

93 Points (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast
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.”

This one comes from very old vines in eight different lieux-dits, with the largest portion coming from Le Fourneau. Harvest is all by hand, and this wine sees 18 months in barrels with only 10% new oak. Clement (rightfully) believes that keeping the oak primarily neutral here brings out the most authentic and intense expression of his Pinot Noirs. Take a sip or two of this and you will know exactly what I mean.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
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.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
