Château Tour Saint Bonnet has spent the past few decades solidifying their reputation as one of the best values in all of Bordeaux. The tiny Left Bank estate, as Parker’s Wine Advocate declared, “has long produced great value, quintessentially Medoc-styled wines”. In fact, the king Robert Parker, Jr. himself referred to these wines as ‘a miniature Grand Puy Lacoste’ and in iconic BDX vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 he deemed this wine one of the sleepers of the entire vintage.
The 2016 bottling continues a great legacy at this hidden gem. It was a sensational year in Bordeaux so it should come as no surprise that this received its highest score to date from Parker’s Wine Advocate, even with such an illustrious history.
Bordeaux specialist William Kelley even called out Parker’s famous quote about this being a miniature Grand-Puy-Lascote and said it “continues to resonate” with this latest 2016 bottling. Not too shabby when you think about its “big brother” going for over $100/bottle!
It’s a gorgeous Cabernet dominant-blend with black fruits, some earth and a bit of charred oak on the palate complimented by gorgeous balance and firm, dusty tannins that provide lift and support. With a little bit of age already to it, it’s beginning to enter its prime now and should be enjoyed over the next 2-5 years for maximum enjoyment!

90+ Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This estate in Saint-Christoly-Médoc has long produced great value, quintessentially Médoc-styled wines, and the 2016 La Tour St Bonnet has turned out especially well. Offering up aromas of sweet blackcurrant fruit intermingled with notions of loamy soil, tobacco leaf and vanilla pod, it’s medium to full-bodied, with powdery tannins and a nicely concentrated core of fruit. Robert Parker once described this estate as producing a miniature Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and that observation continues to resonate with me. While the 2016 drinks well today, a bit more time in the cellar will only pay dividends.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

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.
