Despite how successful the 2015s and 2016s ended up, 2018 was a miracle from the get go. Winemakers knew as early as August that we were all in for the vintage of a lifetime. Chateau Lafleur winemaker, Baptiste Guinaudeau said the 2018’s were so good, “they are like flying carpets.” James Suckling dulled out three perfect 100-point scores with another ten receiving 100 point potential.
In what is shaping out to be a year for big expressive wines for Bordeaux, the Haut-Brisson perfectly straddles the line of brute force and finesse. A deep purple color with aromas of blue and black fruits, cedar, baking spices with flavors of blueberry, plum, cocoa and snickerdoodle. It’s tightly woven with silky tannins which bodes well for the aging potential of this St. Emilion beauty as well.
An outrageously good bottle, the price for this wine is straight up robbery. Without the same name recognition as their big boy neighbors, this 95-96 point stunner checks in at 1/3 of the price of most of the competition. For an outstanding Right Bank Bordeaux which can be drunk in its youth or enjoyed slowly over the next decade plus, this is a deal you don’t want to miss.

95-96 Points, James Suckling
This is a very powerful and structured Haut-Brisson, showing incredible depth and richness. Full-bodied and layered with incredible depth and purity. Layers of fruit and tannin. Best ever.

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
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.
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.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
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.
