| | | Verdignan Haut Medoc 2009
Chateau Verdignan is a stunning property of 150 acres located in the Haut-Medoc along the Gironde Estuary just north of St. Estephe. It is actually known as one of the oldest winemaking estates in the Pauillac area and is certainly the oldest in its more local Saint Seurin de Cadourne.
The vineyard, located just north of the Saint Estephe appellation (about a 10 minute drive from Chateau Calon Segur!) is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc in soils of pure gravel over clay, this vineyard is fawned over by the viticultural team to express the exceptional terroir.
92 Points! Classy red here with currants, blueberries and mahogany aromas. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. Intense and powerful. - JamesSuckling.com Only $24.98

| | | Boekenhoutskloof Porseleinberg Syrah 2021
The revolutionary Porseleinberg project is the result of South African icon Marc Kent's search for premium Rhône grapes for his Boekenhoutskloof label. The journey naturally took him to the Swartland, which at the time was emerging as a premium South African wine region. Kent found a remote, rugged, and windswept 173-acre wine farm atop the Porseleinberg mountain and purchased the property in 2009. Recognizing the enormous potential of the area, and after replanting the vineyards, he decided to create a premium Swartland Syrah from the choice fruit.
One of the greatest Syrah wines produced on the planet, the wine has a restrained opulence, red fruited with quite a bit of pepper for the first time. The tannins are crunchy with grip and carry the fruit well. It’s savory, yet deeply fruited, with a spicy finish and some salty minerality. It’s like a combination of a great Cote-Rotie from Jamet and a top vintage of Clarendon Hills fabled Astralis Shiraz. Crazy stuff! You’ve tasted nothing like it.
99 Points! Given its consistently outstanding quality, it’s easy to forget that the average age of Porseleinberg's 14 hectares of vineyards is only seven years' old. Showing what Callie Louw calls a "little more crunch" in 2021, this is a Syrah with time on its side. Wild herb aromas of sage, oregano and rosemary introduce you to a palate that's dense yet refined, with lots of whole bunch spice and structure, negligible oak influence, detailed, layered tannins, some underlying grip and layers of dark berry fruit. One of the world's great reds from a very special site. - Tim Atkin, MW Only $79.98

| | | Tenuta di Arceno Toscana Valadorna 2013
95 Points! The 2013 Valadorna (mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) is yet another home run in this blockbuster collection of new releases from Tenuta di Arceno in the southern part of Chianti Classico (Castelnuovo Berardegna). This is a firm and tightly knit expression that is packed tight with black fruit, tobacco, tar and dark chocolate. The wine shows enormous aromatic intensity, but then it slims down just a touch in the mouth to offer an elegantly tapered finish. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com Only $39.98 (normally $100!)
