Set on rolling hillsides along the right bank of the river Gironde, the old vines of the tiny Chateau Martinat are rooted in a mix of limestone and clay soils. It’s perfect terroir for producing world class Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes.
Château Martinat, a throwback, hidden gem of Bordeaux, flies under the radar of most importers and collectors. It’s a tiny estate by Bordeaux standards and for my taste, it’s better than most of the established Château. This is structured, mineral Bordeaux, with just incredible red fruit and complexity.
Delicious now, delicious in 10 years, this the kind of wine that drove collectors to obsess about Bordeaux in the first place. But a strong-dollar discount brings this back towards $20; you won’t feel the guilt if you pull a couple of corks this weekend with a simple, grilled steak. Go for it, it’s a great match.

Pair with seared red meat. I dare you.
94 Points, Decanter – 93 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 93 Points, James Suckling
Massolino’s inaugural effort is superb. Typical of the very finest Nebbiolo, floral elements dominate the nose, here violets & rose with a touch of dark candy sweetness. The tannins are obvious but supple and refined, making this wine a much more approachable in its youth than you might expect. The 94 point Decanter review is worth reading below. Like most other Barbarescos from top vineyard sites, I expect these wines to reach firmly into the three figures in no time.

“This is the fourth vintage of Sandra Bravo’s brilliant old-vine Garnacha from Rivas de Tereso and it’s every bit as good as its predecessors. Aged in 300-litre clay amphoras, it’s wonderfully perfumed and intense, with engaging bramble and red cherry fruit sweetness, fine tannins and a long, energetic palate. Drink 2023-2032.”

“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard opens with provocative ferrous, crushed rocks and tar notes over a core of crème de cassis, redcurrant jelly and raspberry leaves with a hint of wild fungi. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut with tension and jam-packed with pure black and red fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with uplifting mineral sparks. This energetic beauty needs some time. Give it a good 4-5 years in bottle and drink it over the next 25 years+.”
Chad’s 2020 McKinley Springs Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drop dead gorgeous and actually makes zero sense at all at this price. Dark purple to the rim with aromas of black fruits, violets, creme de cassis and a hint of spice. On the palate, full-bodied, round and juicy with elegance and the gorgeous, pure fruit– red and black currants, blackberries and a touch of sweet tobacco. It’s a delicious bottle of Cab.
