93 Points James Suckling!
( A Funny Encounter ~ We Are Friends To This Day )
The day I met James Suckling, 9 Years ago, he asked me if I knew who he was? I said no Sir I don't. He laughed, then I laughed.
I Agree With James, This Is A Spectacular Value!

2017 CARE NATIVA GRENACHE
OLD VINES
It’s a 93-point, do-everything bottling that we're thrilled to share.
"juicy and delicious," which sums up this red perfectly. It never seems to last very long in our glasses, pouring a vibrant ruby that leads to a purple core. Aromatically, we were entranced by its blend of purple flowers, juicy black cherry, and red currant, all leading to a succulent palate that emphasizes red plums, rich cherries, and pomegranates, wrapped up with just a hint of spice.
2018 Domaine De La Charbonniere CDP
(not eligible for discounts)
$49.00
So-some friends flew in and said let's drink some red Burgundy, I ran to Bouchon Bakery gathered some Brioche, butter and my Oatmeal.
Long story short,
I enjoyed some 2011 DRC La Tache with my breakfast and it was beyond awesome!
Same thing today, having a late breakfast with this awesome value driven CDP and boom! It's delicious anytime of day!

2018 Domaine de la Charbonniere
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE
Leading off the four Châteauneuf du Pape releases, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape (70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre) offers lots of blackberry fruits as well as notes of violets, flowers, and sandy, loamy earth. It’s medium-bodied, with a silky texture, ripe tannins, and the charming nature of the vintage front and center.
About The Estate
One of the finest run estates in Châteauneuf du Pape is the Maret family’s Domaine de la Charbonnière, which is in the heart of the appellation, just off the route to Courthezon. They produce four Châteauneuf du Pape (readers should read last year’s report on the 2016 and 2017s for a description of each of the cuvées), all meriting attention. In addition, they’ve added two new Vacqueyras releases, bringing the total from that appellation to three cuvées. The 2017s aren’t far off what was achieved in 2016, and the 2018s all showed beautifully, with more depth and richness that most in the vintage.

CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN RHONE
A potent decadent nose with a sultry ravenous vivacity that leaves you only thinking of desiring more.

2018 FULLDRAW VINEYARD
CHOPPING BLOCK
94 MASSIVE POINTS JEB D
A Southern Rhône-like blend of 49% Syrah, 34% Grenache, and 17% Mourvèdre that spent 18 months in 50% new French oak, the 2018 Chopping Block has a big, opulent nose of smoked black fruits, black licorice, pot roast, and peppered meat-like aromas and flavors. This deep, powerful, inky colored effort stays balanced and relatively light on its feet and has a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish. It's not for the Pinot Noir-only crowd out there, but it offers incredible pleasure.
2019 Clos Des Papes
(not eligible for discounts)
$145.00
We Have The Legendary Rhone Giant In Good Supply!
Don't Miss Out!
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape is a stunning example of this estate as well as the vintage. Gorgeous kirsch, flowery incense, spice box, and garrigue-like notes define the nose, and it hits the palate with classic Clos des Papes elegance and finesse backed up by a great mid-palate, fabulous concentration, and a monster of a finish. Don’t miss this beauty. It can be enjoyed today with incredible pleasure or cellared for two decades.

2019 DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE VIELLES VIGNES
99 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
Lovers of brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape should snatch up bottles of the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which comes mostly from the northeastern sector of the appellation, from the La Janasse lieu-dit as well as from the La Crau lieu-dit. Revealing a deeper ruby/plum color to go with a spectacular bouquet of peppery garrigue, smoked meats, blackcurrants, black cherries, and truffly earth, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness and has no hard edges, with building tannins and another blockbuster of a finish. While this wine is always rich and powerful, it’s the level of elegance and purity that really sets it apart in this vintage. Give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 20+ years or more.
2019 Mas De Boislauzon CDP
(not eligible for discounts)
$55.00
TEMPTING RHONE DELICASSY
The transcendent quality of the 2019 Chateaunuef-du-Pape wines are a Rhone lovers dream. A V Wine Cellar 1st time instore 2019 Mas De Boislauzon is so seductively rich, vibrant & beautiful. The V Wine Lab is running on Rhone fuel most of the time, this is a great reason to join in! Enjoy!

2019 MAS DE BOISLAUZON
94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Moving to the Chateauneuf du Pape releases and a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre, the classic 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape is a winner that’s well worth a case purchase, and it offers a ripe, powerful style that stays perfectly balanced and even elegant. Lots of black raspberries, toasted spices, dried garrigue, lavender, and licorice notes all emerge from the glass and this Provençal, full-bodied barrel sample will offer pleasure right out of the gate yet evolve for 15 years or more.
Rhone Three Pack
$285.00
INTERCONTINENTAL RHONE GIANTS
Connections we carry from the past and connections we make in the present that add to the sheer enjoyment we receive from drinking these wines.
Don Burns from Turtle was kind enough to, recently, treat us to a bottle of his awesome G2 Syrah ~ well deserved demand for his craft. Justin Harmon from Argot Wines, a 6 year run and running here with us as we share the same Rhone passion. PEGASO old vine Garnacha ( Grenache ) coming from very unique terroir in the Sierras west of Madrid is the delicate lacing that holds the other two hedonistic sensations together....Easy to fall in love with these for sure!

2019 Turtle Rock Willows Cuvee
97 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Willow's Cuvee checks in as 57% Grenache, 28% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre, and the rest Tempranillo, and it’s from the G2 and Cruz Vineyards and saw 30% stems and 60% new barrels. Kirsch, blackberries, herbes de Provence, and white pepper nuances all give way to a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, beautifully balanced 2019 that’s already hard to resist. It’s going to bring the goods over the coming 10-12 years.
It may be too late to get on the mailing list, but Don Burn’s Turtle Rock is unquestionably one of California’s new superstars.
2019 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra
95+ The Wine Advocate
The explosive nose of the 2017 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra is all thyme and flowers, really expressive, aromatic and redolent of the herbs found in the surroundings of the Gredos Mountains. It's especially representative of the Mediterranean character of the year. It has powerful aromatics that keep growing in the glass, floral and spicy, with notes that are reminiscent of curry, nutmeg and Jamaica pepper. It's very showy and intoxicating, with the tight tannins of the slate soils—they are chalky and finer grained than the slightly coarser tannins from granite.
2019 ARGOT INDIGO SYRAH
97 Jeb Dunnuck
Brought up in more new French oak (90%), the 2019 Syrah Indigo is inky purple-hued and gives up a killer bouquet of blackberries, beef blood, bay leaf, iron, peppery herbs, and bacon fat. It's rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, with a dense, rich, powerful, yet also focused style that stays graceful and elegant. This is a gorgeous Syrah in every way that should have 10-15 years of prime drinking.
