This wine is a perfect example of the beauty of age-worthy Bordeaux. A 10-year old flagship St. Emilion from one of the elite Right Bank locales offered at the price that most people pay for their second label.
Only 3% of St. Émilions are planted on the Côte – blessed with that rare distinction of extra sun, cool northern winds, exceptional hillside drainage and the unique soil that promotes a deep root system with abundant access to nutrients. That’s incredibly rare and special.
It’s what helps set today’s wine apart. Well that and their several times 100-point winemaker, endless access money courtesy of American funding and a special 17th Chateau that has made exceptional wine for decades.
They’re made by superstar Bordeaux winemaker, Pierre Seillan who has been making wine throughout the region for decades. Chateau Lassegue is an absolutely gorgeous, flawless estate, home to 36 hectares of southwest facing vineyards painstakingly laid out across a natural amphitheater.
Unsurprisingly, this one has a great score attached to it, this one courtesy of the stingy Brit’s and their Decanter Magazine. Decanter loved this one back in 2017 when they tasted it, but it unquestionably added nuance and sophistication in the bottle since then as well as more refined dark fruits and a myriad of spices. Decanter called it, “A captivating wine of depth and integrity.” I don’t know a whole lot about integrity in wines, but I know this one is a Right Bank beauty and a sure bet winner.

A captivating wine of depth and integrity. Brooding purple aromas of violets, rose petals and lilac…alongside classic Bordeaux aromatics of new leather, cigar box and pencil lead. On the palate, red and black fruit in perfect accord…red cherry, raspberries and wild strawberries entwined with darker, deeper expression of black currants and black-berries. There is earth…forest floor…mushrooms, truffles, anise, herbal tones of deep sage and oak captures the vintage with soft and rich notes of vanilla, toast and cedar.

“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.”
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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the 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!
