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!

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
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.
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 new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
