The Perrin family has been a staple in the Southern Rhone Valley for generations, tracing back to their purchase of Beaucastel in 1909. And while the CDP sets the standard in the region, and homage is often the single best bottle produced in many years, the price tags are now firmly set in the triple digits.
But tucked away in a pile of Saturday nighters – might be one of the most ridiculous values we’ll offer this entire year from the Rhone Valley. ‘Les Cornuds’ from the commune of Vinsobres is always solid but 2017 was something special.
2017 saw virtually no rain the entire year; it was a wine drinker’s dream and a banker’s nightmare. The driest weather in thirty years produced a vintage with crazy low yields, but one where non-interventionist winemaking saw old-vines bear intense, rich fruit with incredible tension and length.
A traditional mix of 50% Syrah, 50% Grenache becomes slightly less traditional in “Les Cornuds (the horns) style, which has the Syrah see Oak to round it out and give it depth and the Grenache only fermented in Stainless Steal to preserve the freshest and juiciest expression of Grenache.

A bright and fresh style, with a mix of raspberry, cherry and red currant coulis flavors, underscored by light bramble and mineral accents. Shows good juicy energy through the finish, revealing latent depth. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2020 through 2025.

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 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous

Since the late 1990’s Penner-Ash has been viewed as one of Oregon’s top wineries making gorgeous wines in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. In the 2021 vintage considered to be one of Oregon’s all-time great years, the 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that Lynn crafted is gorgeous, a silky tightly woven number that mixes red and black fruits with some sage and baking spices and a savory finish. It’s got some nice weight to it and structure which suggests it’ll age well for the next 10-15 years though it’s already drinking beautifully in its youth.

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.
