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 oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
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.
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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
