Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate sums up the ’19 red Burgs with “Revisited from bottle, the 2019 vintage has fulfilled the promise I saw in it last year. The reds are stunning young wines, notable for their aromatic range and sensual textures, and they show no signs of shutting down in bottle….Looking further back in time, I’m tempted to invoke comparisons with 1964…”
That’s rather high praise.
Places like Maranges are far off the Rue Nationale but may just be one of the last great spots to uncover. It’s here where some of the most thrilling wines are being produced. Maranges’ 1er crus from estates like my new friend, Stéphane Monnot’s, are built upon old vines, dug deep into crazy mineral soils, that produce wines at a such a high qualitative level that many mistake them for their neighbors further north: Volnay, Gevrey-Chambertin or Vosne-Romanee.
Of course, in a short vintage like 2019 those neighbors to the north are going to cost 3 to 5 times what today’s wine will set you back. Unlucky for us, like his northern neighbors, Stéphane’s brilliant white and red Burgundies are just as rare.
For my money though the choice is a no-brainer. Stephane Monnot and his scarce but lights out 2019s, are must-buys for any discriminating Burgundy buyer that would prefer to have 3 bottles of Maranges rather than just one of most Gevrey Chambertin. They are special wines. Don’t miss out!

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.
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.
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!

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
