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.

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.
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.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
#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.
