Right from the jump, critics jumped all over the 2016 vintage, declaring it a classic with some even calling it the ‘second coming’ of great Bordeaux.
James Suckling agreed, but took it even further “The wines have a classicism that reminds me of the great wines of the 1980s, but they have much more precision and clarity…”
Wine Enthusiast asked if it was a perfect vintage and added: “What makes the 2016 vintage so special is the quality across the Bordeaux hierarchy. The same character found in the most complex wines is also apparent in the simpler options. They all offer bottlings with rich, ripe fruit and a tannic structure that promises longevity.”
One Bordeaux appellation that seemed to excel even more than others in Bordeaux’s historic vintage, was in the tiny Left Bank appellation of Haut Medoc. With quality particularly exceptional, Decanter Magazine declared the Cru designate bottles, some of the best ever produced.
One of those Cru bottles of mention came from the former estate of Champagne Louis Roederer and Chateau Pichon Longeuville, Chateau Bernadotte, where their 2016 vintage knocked the socks off James Suckling. The Chateau, named after the man Napoleon once appointed King of Sweden shares a long and storied history in the region. But in the 2016 vintage, Suckling’s rave 93-point review was his highest ever for the Chateau since he began reviewing their wines in 2002.

This has aromas of boysenberries and dark berries with a wealth of bracken and gently tarry aromas, too. The palate has a fresh, fleshy and quite concentrated feel with fine tannins that hold the finish long. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Try from 2023.

The gorgeous and full-bodied Goldridge Vyd Pinot Noir is made with fruit grown from 30+ year old vines and harvested in small lots before aging in 45% new French oak. It’s expertly blended to showcase the harmony of the fruit as well as the bright aromatics and luscious blackberry/red berry fruit that have made it a standard-bearer for the Russian River Valley.
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*

It’s hard to imagine a wine that delivers more bang for your buck and consistency than what Herve Fabre is able to produce from his 100+ year old vines each vintage. Last year, his Malbec Reserva landed on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Buys of the Year. I called a big score form this one and it has just arrived. It’s a big, full-bodied Malbec from the heart of Mendoza and has great tannic structure and primary fruit, giving it similar characteristics to a Napa Valley Cab. Inviting aromas of raspberry pie, sage, herbs and roasted mushrooms.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! Our special relationship with the Wagner has granted us incredible access on their newest release! 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.
