I began using B21 about 2 years ago. Wish I had found them sooner. They represent about 70% to 80 % of my liquor buys. Only the odd things are purchased elsewhere. Once you use them you will be hooked. Inventory, professional staff, quick shipping and competative pricing are what I really appreciate. Try them, you have nothing to lose and much to gain.

B-21 Top Recommendation

Sonoma's standard-bearer Ferrari-Carano needs little introduction. These quintessential California classics have been all-time best sellers at B-21 for years, and it's always nice to see a standard bearer continue to hit the mark.

The "rich, satisfying" 2024 Chardonnay is a top-shelf value performer at 92 points & under $15, a perfect option for your next go-to house white. A step (or two) up is the 95-point 2022 Chardonnay Reserve, a full-bodied wine with lovely texture and tension, outpacing it's sub-$30 price. For the reds, the 2023 Siena hits on all cylinders for fans of this QPR best seller, while the 92-point 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is "very generous and giving for the price" with "concentrated aromas" and a "rich and broad" palate. If you're looking for surefire quality at an easy price, you almost have too many good options with these Sonoma classics.

2022 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, California

93D

The 2022 vintage is a bold yet refined Alexander Valley Cabernet. It opens with a floral nose, followed by notes of currants, black cherries, and a touch of dusty spice and black pepper. After 18 months in French oak, the wine picks up layers of vanilla and mocha with firm, spicy tannins that bring depth, structure, and expression to the palate. A wine that feels both powerful and balanced.

2023 Neyers 304 Chardonnay (750ml)
Chardonnay from Sonoma, California
B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

"Intense and stylish ... generous, juicy and sleek." - Wine Spectator

Picking up right where the previous best-selling vintage left off, the fresh and juicy 92-point 2023 Neyers 304 Chardonnay offers crisp, aromatic stone fruit and citrus with bright acidity on a mouthwatering mineral finish, making it an outstanding value for fans of unoaked California Chardonnay and anyone seeking an easy drinking, food-friendly white to stock the cooler at a bargain price.

Bruce was inspired by his experience with Chablis producers to create the Neyers 304 Chardonnay, the name "304" an insider reference to the grade of stainless steel used in the winery's aging tanks. Fruit is sourced from the family-owned Paul Larson Vineyard in Carneros, planted in a rocky outcropping that yields smaller, more concentrated clusters and enhances minerality, while the cooling maritime influence of San Pablo Bay preserves the grapes' freshness and acidity.

Among the best values in unoaked California Chardonnay, this impressive, WS92 offering remains lesser known among the region's high-profile producers while over-delivering value as a top-scoring, ready to enjoy Chardonnay affordably priced for stocking up by the case.


92WS 90JS

Intense and stylish, with a core of Meyer lemon, pear and dried pineapple that's generous, juicy and sleek. Details of brioche, lemon blossoms and crunchy sea salt minerality linger alongside a whiff of lemon verbena. Drink now. 5,928 cases made.

92 points, MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator (Mar 2025)

This steel-fermented wine offers good acidity and refreshing qualities without an excess of buttery, toasty elements from oak barrels. It was aged on the lees for a nuanced, toasty, minerally effect and is generous in tangy apple, pineapple and lime zest flavors. Drink now.

2022 Roth Heritage Red (750ml)
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, California

92D 90JS

The 2022 Heritage Red is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, and 6% Merlot, sourced from estate vineyards across Alexander Valley and Sonoma County. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 15 months in approximately 30% new French oak, this wine, crafted by winemaker Henry DeLambert, is vibrant and expressive. Bright red-toned fruit notes are intertwined with vanilla and toasty cedarwood spices. The juicy red fruit takes centre stage on the palate, supported by very fine, silky tannins. Layers of rich baking spices, espresso bean, walnut husk, and coriander nuances create a long and satisfying finish.

92 points, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter (Dec 2024)

A big, rounded, friendly, bear hug of a wine that’s soft in tannins, broad and ripe in flavors. Full-bodied but easy to sip, it’s mostly cabernet sauvignon with smaller amounts of petit verdot, malbec and other reds. Drink now.

2023 Rodney Strong Chardonnay Chalk Hill (750ml)
Chardonnay from Sonoma, California

92D

The Chalk Hill Chardonnay is a product of Rodney Strong's pioneering Chardonnay in the region—the first to plant the variety there in 1965. The 2022 vintage of this wine does an excellent job of achieving balance, opening with a sweet, inviting nose of apple pie, Meyer lemon crème, and subtle hints of vanilla, balanced by incredible acidity. With 35% new oak and regular bâtonnage, the wine has a rich yet elegant mouthfeel, is slightly reductive, and has a silky, lingering finish.

Uncle Val's Botanical Gin (750ml)
From Sonoma, California

96TP 90WE

Tangerine, lemon blossoms and blue flowers sing the praises of gin in this wonderful new product from The Other Guys’ new spirits division, 35 Maple Street. Named for August Sebastiani’s uncle Valerio Cecchetti from Lucca, Italy, the botanicals chosen are the same that Uncle Val likes to use in his cooking: lemon, juniper, cucumber, sage and lavender. But we picked up a lovely weight and a syrup of white-peppered marshmallow that made these all the more appealing.

96 points, Tasting Panel (Jun 2012)

Sweet-tasting and citrusy, this has a light herbal aroma. It shows distinct cucumber and lavender notes on the palate, and it should lend itself to spring and summer cocktails. Keep an eye out for exciting savory and spicy variations of Uncle Val’s that may be coming to market soon.

2021 Ridge Geyserville (750ml)
Zinfandel from Sonoma, California
B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

"Suffice it to say, Ridge is firing on all cylinders." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Is there a more consistently excellent estate in California than Ridge Vineyards? You'd be hard-pressed to make an argument otherwise. Decades of category-defining class and substance have resulted in untold numbers of awards and accolades, so it's no surprise to see them once again at the head of the class in this set of new arrivals.

One of the most beloved wines in the Ridge stable, the Geyserville is a classic California old-vine field blend, based on ZInfandel that has come to set the standard for the style over decades of uninterrupted success. From Ridge's estate vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley that includes centenarian Zinfandel vines, the "pure, expressive" 2021 is the perfect counterpoint to the "take-no-prisoners" 2022, each wine boasted 95 points among a host great accolades.

Of course, Ridge is also renowned for delivering serious bang for the buck throughout their extensive range, and two perennial favorites are the 2020 Lytton Estate Petite Sirah and the 2023 Three Valleys. The former is a 95-point powerhouse that Antonio Galloni calls "superb ... deep and resonant." The sub-$25, double 93-point Three Valleys is a true QPR star, "generous and robust yet retaining a sense of polish." It's a no-brainer choice for an everyday red, because it delivers a level or two above that tier, yet it can be easily stacked by the case at a bargain price. Finally, the double 93-point 2022 Paso Robles Zinfandel is "brambly and dynamic" with a big personality defined by its "terrific core of sweet fruit, supple tannins and outstanding length." In other words, it's a quintessential California Zin that delivers the all the features that Ridge fans crave.

With outstanding value offerings like these, as well as monumental collectibles, and everything in between, Ridge is still a California icon that deserves its place in the pantheon of great names.


95W&S 94V 94WE 93JD 93WS

When Geyserville hits in a great vintage, it takes me back to what I originally loved about California wine. Or to that sense of optimism on a spring day when I first visited San Francisco in 1984, to pitch this magazine on publishing services. I didn’t know at the time that I would still be publishing it 40 years later, and I didn’t know how much California wine would change. Or how little the style and intention of Geyserville would change. The team at Ridge manages the vineyard’s generations of vines to produce complex wines like this perfectly ripe 2021, with its dark, resinous scents of marijuana, its deep layers of rich fruit and the fruitiness of detailed tannins. The fresh, herbal complexity is pretty epic and the richness doesn’t stop. What I want from California.

95 points, Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits (Apr 2023)

The 2021 Geyserville hits the palate with a burst of dark red/purplish fruit, sweet spice, lavender, chocolate, dried herbs and American oak. I would be in no rush to open the 2021, as it is clearly an infant at this stage. The blend is 76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Syrah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. The 2021 is a powerhouse, that much is pretty clear.

94+ points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Aug 2023)

Toasted oak and wood-smoke aromas lead to equally smoky, spicy flavors of black pepper, blackberry jam and maple in this full-bodied, muscular and firmly tannic wine. Great to pair with barbecue and hatchet throwing. The Zinfandel grapes were supplemented with 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. Best from 2025-2035.

94 points, Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2023)

The 2021 Geyserville checks in as 76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, and the rest Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet. It has a pure, expressive bouquet of fresh plums, figs, mulberries, peppery herbs, leather, and vanilla bean, and it takes some air to show at its best, gaining depth and richness with time in the glass. This medium to full-bodied, spicy, elegant red blend has a touch more oak present than I'm accustomed to, but it has a silky, elegant mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It's going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age.

93+ points, Jeb Dunnuck (Oct 2023)

Tightly focused and briary, this blend offers density without weight. Presents plum and blueberry flavors accented by dill and green peppercorn as this builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet. Drink now through 2032. 9,000 cases made.

92JS 92D

A unique merlot from northern Sonoma County vineyards that incorporates 23% syrah for a spicier, smokier aspect than usual. It’s dark and deep in flavor but still velvety smooth in texture. Light tannins wrap around ripe red cherries, black plums and black pepper on a full, rich body. Drink now.

92 points, Jim Gordon, James Suckling (Aug 2024)

The Sonoma County Merlot is a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Syrah. Fermented in stainless steel with a three-day cold soak, it is aged for 18 months in a combination of 11% new French oak and some Eastern European oak. The Syrah component takes centre stage, contributing vibrant notes of violets, blackberry, white pepper, and charcuterie, all balanced with spiced plum fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, the wine features nicely layered, elongated, and mineral-rich tannins. While Merlot lovers might find the pronounced Syrah character surprising, it adds depth and complexity to the blend, making it a sumptuous and delicious wine with an underlying freshness. Winemaker Rebecka Deike has created a standout wine, one of the highlights from the Ferrari-Carano lineup. It’s equally enjoyable alone or paired with braised meats, offering a rich and satisfying experience.

2021 Aperture Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, California
B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

"The [Aperture] wines offer hedonistic pleasure across the range, offering high-octane power balanced with superb elegance ...They are continuing to offer blockbuster wines, especially their 2021 releases."

- Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com

One of the more impressive boutique operations in Sonoma County today has nothing at all to do with Pinot Noir. Winemaker Jesse Katz of Aperture Cellars is emerging as a bona fide master of Bordeaux varietals in the appellation, and his track record is one of unbroken success, garnering acclaim from across the critical spectrum on an annual basis. The 2021s are arguably Katz's finest efforts yet, clearly evident in the double 96-point 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. Blended from almost all of the estate's prized parcels in Alexander Valley and Healdsburg, it's a profoundly luxurious expression that manages to maintain superb balance and weightless precision thanks to the expert touch of the winemaking team. If you're looking for a California Cabernet with impeccable, cellar-worthy pedigree and a drinking window that will span the better part of two decades, look no further.


96WA 96D 95JD 95WE

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Aperture's estate vineyard in Healdsburg and their newest vineyard acquisition, Farrow Ranch in Alexander Valley, plus some of the original single vineyards in the Aperture program like Oliver Ranch. It is blended with 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 16 months in 55% new French oak. It has vibrant, layered aromas of blueberry compote, lavender, aniseed, milk chocolate and nutmeg with undertones of cast iron and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled, pairing deep flavors with a weightless feel due to its bright acidity and velvety tannins. It has a long, latent finish and deserves 3-5 years in bottle. 4,480 cases produced.

96 points, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate (Dec 2023)

The 2021 Aperture Cabernet Sauvignon layers in 3% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot fruit. It is the first wine that Jesse Katz made when he started the Aperture brand, and for the 2021 vintage, he leveraged an excellent amount of Farrow Ranch fruit, a vineyard he bought the year of this harvest. It also includes fruit from single blocks in other vineyards, such as Del Rio and Oliver Ranch. Katz crafted such a supple, easy-drinking Cabernet in 2021, with layers of deliciousness matched only by the structure that holds it all together. Waves of blue and black fruits mingle with heady cigar box and red rock volcanics, all dusted with notes of white pepper. The polished, supple tannins have a wonderful buoyancy to them and provide a wonderful foundation for the wealth of super velvety dark fruits on the palate. Flavours of Bing cherry, plum, and blueberry, wrapped in tobacco leaves and dusted again with more white pepper notes, provide a foundation for nuances of crushed cocoa nibs on the finish. Long, layered, and mineral-rich, with a host of baking spices and lively floral qualities, this red is immensely drinkable out of the gate.

Pouring a deep red/purple color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has the addition of 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec and a splash of Cabernet Franc, all raised in 55% new French oak for 18 months. It’s aromatic of brambly crunchy fruits, with notes of blackberries, resinous herbs, mossy forest earth, and mocha. Full-bodied and light on its feel, with lovely freshness, it offers refined tannins and a good deal of length, with an even spine of acidity to hold up its decadent nature. It is going to be an age-worthy wine to enjoy over the next 15 or so years.

95 points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck (Jun 2024)

Deeply ruby-black colored and powerfully structured, this Cabernet gives aromas of spiced cherry compote, black currant and cassis on the nose. The palate is decadent and complex, with layers of rich, ripe berry fruit mingling with hints of violet, cocoa powder, cinnamon and black pepper in a balanced but ageworthy framework.

2021 Marietta Angeli Cuvee (750ml)
Zinfandel from Sonoma, California
B-21 Top Recommendation

From a California vintage described as "amazing" by James Suckling, these highly rated 2021 Marietta Cellars selection are crafted in a "deliciously drinkable style" according to Jeb Dunnuck, a wide range of vineyard-focused cuvees sourced exclusively from estate fruit and affordably priced for stocking up by the case.

Established by third generation Sonoma native Chris Bilbro over four decades ago, Marietta Cellars has continued its founder's legacy of producing exceptional, reasonably priced California wines under his son Scot since 2012, sourcing the portfolio from over 400 acres of organically farmed estate vineyards. Crafted from mostly old vine Syrah dating back to the late 1800's, the sumptuous 93 pt. 2021 Marietta Christo boasts ripe, succulent dark fruit hinting of peppery herbs with zesty acidity, a silky Rhone blend with integrated tannins promising to evolve over the next decade. The powerful 93 pt. 2021 Marietta Arme is an impressive Bordeaux style blend dominated by rich California Cabernet Sauvignon described as "incredibly elegant" by the Wine Advocate's Erin Brooks. Sourced from the 35-acre Angeli Vineyard first planted in the late 1880's, the 96 pt. 2021 Marietta Angeli is a blend of old vine Zinfandel with small amounts of Petite Sirah and Syrah aged in neutral barrels, offering bright, spiced fruit with a seamless, silky texture and harmonious tannins built to satisfy a Zinfandel craving over the next decade and called "absolutely delicious" by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni.. Sourced from old vine Syrah planted over a century ago, the powerful 95 pt. 2021 Marietta Gibson Block Syrah is "intensely bold and savory" according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, revealing richly concentrated fruit hinting of graphite with refined, integrated tannins and vibrant acidity, summed up as "absolutely delicious" by critic Galloni and promising to mature gracefully in the cellar for another ten years or more.

Living up to Marietta's long-time reputation for over delivering value, Antonio Galloni of Vinous declared "Scot Bilbro has the magic touch when it comes to crafting wines that deliver superb quality for the money across the various tiers in this range," these unbeatably priced 2021 Marietta selections an opportunity for Marietta fans to stock up on their favorites and for newbies to mix a case and enjoy Marietta's combination of exceptional quality and outstanding bang for the buck.

Grapes for the 2021 Angeli Zinfandel are picked in three passes. Proprietor Scot Bilbro notes that Zinfandel's naturally varying levels of ripeness can lead to raisiny flavors if all the grapes are picked at a higher brix. "If you bring Zinfandel in over 25 brix, that means the juice inside is at 25, but the skins have a lot more sugar, and the level will go up to 28 or more," he explains. "So, we pick at 23, 24 and just shy of 25. You can enable the wine to show off layers with those different picks." This strategy led to a gorgeous Angeli in 2021 that is incredibly expressive and perfumed. Blueberry, boysenberry and blackberry give way to wafts of graphite, gobs of violet and even touches of tangerine. The medium to full-bodied palate explodes with concentrated fruit and expansive layers of floral perfume and spice. It has a powdery frame, bursts of mouthwatering acidity and a very long, nuanced finish.
