With vineyard plantings as early as 1540, Chateau La Mission Haut Brion has deep roots in the Pessac-Leognan subregion of Bordeaux. In the 1959 Graves Classification, it was given a Cru designate, the 2nd highest to First Growths.
The chateau is situated right next to their 1st growth neighbor, Chateau Haut Brion although both Chateaus have been owned by the Dillon Family since 1983. Each vintage, the two chateaus battle for bragging rights. Although Chateau Haut Brion wines are certified First Growths and fetch upwards of $1,000/btl, it is not uncommon to see Chateau La Mission’s wines scored higher in some vintages, having earned a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in six different vintages.
The 1996 is a Cabernet/Merlot Blend that has been perfectly cellared and stored since Day 1 and has remained in my private cellar stash for a long time now. It’s drinking great right now, with wonderful silky smooth, well-integrated tannins, a full-bodied slightly chewy mouthfeel and a really pleasantly, lengthy finish.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
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.
