With hundreds if not thousands more wines to drink now than ever before, the market can become saturated and the reviews can get repetitive, lazy and even mailed in. Sometimes it’s really hard to tell if a reviewer even liked a wine based on their one or two sentences, which is why we taste through everything we offer. If you haven’t tried it, you can’t possibly know.
But every once in a while, you stumble across a review where you can tell unequivocally that not only did the reviewer actually try the wine… but that they really liked it. That’s today’s wine – and after tasting it last week, I can see why.
To say Wine Enthusiast cared for this scrumptious new Piedmonte Barbera would be a bit of an understatement. The reviewer who gave this wine (which we have for just $12.50/btl today) a rave 92-point ‘Best Buy’ designate, absolutely loved this wine. In fact, he went as far as to call it, “an affirmation of all that is good in the wine world: delicious, fun and serious”. That is a man who enjoyed his bottle of Barbera.
But in a day and age where pricing on some varietals has gone through the proverbial roof, this bright, juicy, smooth, easy drinking red is priced right where you want it – the definition of an easy case buy.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
95 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Wine Spectator – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
