“It is remarkable, almost irrational, how the finest 2019s maintain detail, clarity and tension and sapid finishes…their acidic nerve underpins the success of 2019. These are vivid and bright wines, shiny as a new button…..the 2019 reds will be more approachable, yet they have the balance and substance to repay cellaring.”
That’s Neal Martin, Vinous Media’s Burgundy guy, on the delicious 2019s. I’m increasingly all in on the vintage — it’s one of those rare years where we get to enjoy the best of both worlds; delicious the moment you open a bottle with soaring aromatics, lush mouthfeel and fresh acidity yet with the bones for serious aging. Usually, it’s one or the other, but the magic of 2019 is that we get both.
Lydia Cornu’s 2019s are absolutely electric– exceptional bottles that I’ve tried to order as much as possible of just to be safe. This Cote de Nuits bottling is carved off a small vineyard called La Montagne with the vines planted by Lydia’s father nearly 45 years ago. It’s offers a fleshy and round mouthful full of crunchy black cherry notes, a bright acidity and a smooth and lingering finish. It’s a Red Burgundy steal for this price.

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
90 Points, James Suckling
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.”
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
