It’s hard to find under the radar Châteaux in the commune La Gaffelière just south of the village of Saint Emilion. It’s hallowed ground in Bordeaux where Parker 100 pointers, Château Ausone and Pavie rule the roost. These are once in a lifetime Saturday nighters for most of us so I take special pride in finding those châteaux in the right neighborhoods that deliver over the top value.
Few chateaux enjoy the locale of Clos Castelot. Just a stone’s throw from Ausone (whose average price for the 2015 was a cool $900!?!), old vines and the classic sand-clay-limestone soils of southern Saint Emilion coupled with the 97 point 2015 vintage gives us one of the Bordeaux deals of the year.
Clos Castelot’s aromatics are off the charts in 2015, be sure to drink this wine in a big glass. Red flowers and blackberries just blast from the glass and continue to evolve….if you can resist, try a bottle of over 3 days. Incredible. Delicious now, sure to be delicious over the next 15 years, there are very few wines under $25 that deliver this level of complexity and aging potential, don’t miss it.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
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.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
