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.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
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.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
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.
