Chateau de Sales has become one of the Pomerol staples in the U.S. due to the incredible value aspect of the wine as well as its consistency . There’s a good reason for this. With 117 acres under vine out of a whopping 222 total acres that make up the property, it’s the largest vineyard in all of Pomerol. The property is also in the northwest of Pomerol, where the terroir is gravel with heat-retaining sand that contains iron oxide. That’s incredibly rare, but also super helpful for making Red wines that are built to last.
The other pretty enormous elephant in the room is the team behind this wine. The property is run by Vincent Montigaud, who previously was at Baron Philippe Rothschild for 23 years including 16 years as the director of Domaine de Baronarques. He went out and hired the uber-famous Jean-Claude Berrouet as a consulting winemaker, the man who previously ran winemaking at both Petrus and Dominus! Insanity!

A full and juicy red with blackberry, black olive, dark chocolate, and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Creamy, round and deliciously textured. Not a big and powerful wine but very attractive now and for the future. Seductive in so many way. Merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Best after 2026.

The 2020 de Sales is composed of 79% Merlot, 14% Cab Sauv and 7% Cab Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it rolls out with fragrant notes of juicy black plums and blueberry preserves, followed by hints of licorice and tar with a touch of lavender. The full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves and savory accents, supported by plush, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, leading to a finish of great length and freshness on this impressive wine.
94 Points, Decanter
A juicy intensity with bright red fruits, delicate and alive in the glass – friendly but with a salty liquorice kick that gives it some seriousness. Lean and direct but so polished and clean on the finish. A touch of lingering heat at the end but this has vibrancy and is well structured with clear bite and power.

Dark puple color with violet hue and black core. Elegant and precise nose with distinct fruit, ripe plums, blackberries and black cherries, hints of candied orange zests, violets and mild spices. Subtle oak and fine toasting. On the palate its well balanced with silky character, freshness and discreet minerality, backed by juicy fruit and hints of violets. A wonderful Pomerol with depth and very good length.

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.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
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!
#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.
