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.

#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.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
