The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is widely heralded as the best in Bordeaux since the epic 2010 vintage. Journalists have unleashed a bevy of 100-point ratings on the Bordeaux class of 2016. Parker’s Wine Advocate has given nine of them in total, and gave the vintage an enormous 97 point score as a whole.
Rarely do all the critics so unanimously agree as they do in 2016 a vintage that is simply fantastic from “top to bottom,” making not only for 100-pointers that will age gracefully for 4 decades, but for a handful of magnificent “sleepers” from the Right Bank’s rising stars.
None more so that Stephane Donze at Chateau Martinat.
The 2016 Chateau Martinat that Stephane crafted is nothing short of a classic — aromatically complex, generously infused with ripe cassis and small black fruit compote, all the natural concentration bolstered by just a touch of earth. Drink now until sometime after 2030!

This blend of mainly Merlot with some Malbec has weight along with a fresher element that gives it a lift. Black plum fruits are laced with acidity while also powered by firm, young tannins.

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.

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.
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.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
