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.

“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
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 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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
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.
