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.

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.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
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!
