The 2019 vintage in Bordeaux is turning out to be a rare perfect storm for buyers, one that is absolutely shining at just the right time.
Of course if you asked most any winemaker in the region, they’d tell you that 2019 was always this good. Great in barrel, in bottle, and great right out of the gates. But some wine critics weren’t as sure in the opening stages.
Even James Suckling, who loves to stir a good pot stopped short of top shelf praise when he said “2019’s deliver some fantastic wines, but whether or not it’ll compete with the likes of 1982, 1990, 2009 and 2015 remains to be seen.”
Those of you who have been around as long as I have know that Jancis Robinson doesn’t mince words. And her reputation is rock solid, so she doesn’t need to make loud statements to garner clicks. That’s why when she said the following she grabbed the wine world’s attention:
“Bordeaux 2019 – best ever? No hyperbole here, believe it or not.”

The estate wine from this fine property is well structured and full of dark fruits and firm tannins. The balance is there, but the wine needs to age, to soften the texture and relax the alcohol. Drink the wine from 2024.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

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.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
