Step out on to the terrace of Emeric Petit’s elegant Château Tournebrise in Lalande-de-Pomerol and I’ll bet “location, location, location” is the first thing to comes to mind. Just 600 yards away and in clear view from the terrace, lies Château Pétrus, one of Bordeaux’s most famous and sought after red wines. At $1500 or so per bottle, it’s also one of the world’s most expensive. The soil is the same, gravel and clay, the exposition of vineyards, more or less the same too. Aside from the price, what’s not the same is the appellation.
The border between Pétrus and Emeric’s estate is also the border between the famous Pomerol area and the much less known, Lalande-de Pomerol. Why the line is drawn there, who knows? Whoever owned the chateau circa 1780 probably didn’t play the right political game when they drew up the map.
That cost Tournebrise a lot of cash and prestige because aside from Pétrus, you can also see the vineyards of Chateaux Trotanoy and Lafleur-Pétrus, which each command a price-tag of around $300. Not too shabby of a neighborhood for Emeric because when you taste his brilliant 2016, it’s clear that Tournebreise belongs on that block.

The 40% Cabernet Franc in the blend of this wine gives it spiciness and fills out the tannins. This makes for a balanced wine, ripe with black fruits and needing a bit more time. Drink from 2021.
Basically, Château Tournebrise is a blue chip Bordeaux property on the wrong side of the tracks.

#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.
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.
100 Pts, International Wine Report – 98 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 98 Pts, James Suckling
“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
