B‑21 has always offered the best wines at the best prices of any vendor. I had a lot of problems with FedEx shipping on several occasions, but all of a sudden they've implemented a new schedule and notification system that really seems to work. This delivery was on time and perfect. Looking forward to my next order.

Yesterday

Good selection, fair prices and prompt/economical delivery. Minor but worrisome gripe: 2 bottles in the last shipment either were corked or the corks were loosen in shipment. The bottles were both fully intact, as were the foil caps, but both had leaked into the box. One lost about 75% of the wine, and the other only about 10%. They were 2 of 6 vermentino wines from as very reputable Tuscan producer that I know well, having been there twice.

The service has always been perfect. Our wine arrives quickly and the UPS man calls me to come down and sign for it. I can only get this wine from one supplier in Florida and they always do a perfect job of making available to me.

Sadly, UPS damaged my shipment of the last bottles of Banyuls wine in B‑21 inventory. The message I received was that the unbroken bottles of my order was being returned to sender (B‑21). I was beyond bummed! B‑21's customer service was extraordinary. In order to arrange for a replacement shipment to be sent, they had to replenish their stock. Within a few hours, I got a message saying the wine was ordered, and confirmed that I'd receive an email when the order was shipped. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend B‑21 for their selection and service. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

I love this wine! It was delivered promptly and very nicely packed. The only thing is the carrier left it at the main building and not to the address I specified. I guess next time I will add a phone number for the carrier to call me. Love this Sangria!!

The folks at B‑21 turn orders quickly and the$24/case shipping cost is reasonable. My shipment arrived with one broken bottle that apparently was empty when it was packed, as there was no evidence of wine in any dividers, the bottles in the case, or the case itself. The cork was still in the bottle. It was disappointing to lose a bottle of my wife's favorite wine, and they refunded the price of the bottle without delay. It was unfortunate that this happened, but hard to understand how an empty bottle could have been put in the case. I am satisfied with their response and hope to continue doing business with them.

2018 Cheval des Andes (1.5L)

Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Described as the “Grand Cru of Argentina,” this selection of highly rated Cheval des Andes vintages boasts Argentinian Malbec in its most elegant incarnation, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and in some years a little Petit Verdot to yield fresh, juicy dark fruit and mineral-tinged tannins with a finish that goes on and on, some releases ready to enjoy now and all a last chance opportunity for Malbec lovers and collectors to secure exceptional back vintages as well as the highly allocated current release at unbeatable prices.

Formed as a collaboration between Cheval Blanc and Argentina’s Terrazas de los Andes in 1999, Cheval des Andes was created to express the most nuanced and vibrant qualities of Argentinian Malbec from the country’s top terroir crafted with the refined elegance of a First Growth Bordeaux, sourced from 123 acres of high-altitude estate vineyards planted with old vine Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Described as “a hedonistic Cheval” by the Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutierrez, the 97 pt. 2012 Cheval des Andes is an “utterly suave and seamless blend in the style of a ripe Right Bank wine” according to Stephen Tanzer of Vinous, while the 98 pt. 2013 Cheval des Andes is a “powerful wine with terrific ripe tannins” that promise a “slow and eventful evolution,” both ready to enjoy over the next few years. Crafted with 83% Malbec, James Suckling calls the 97 pt. 2014 Cheval des Andes “a rich and round-textured red with gentle tannins” boasting “a long plush finish” according to the Wine Spectator’s Kim Marcus with built-in longevity. The Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutierrez describes the 98 pt. 2018 Cheval des Andes as “the finest Cheval des Andes I’ve ever tasted” that’s an “impeccably balanced” and “brilliant wine” with over a decade of evolution ahead according to Jeb Dunnuck. Crafted with a 50-50 blend of Malbec and Cab, the powerful 98 pt. 2019 Cheval des Andes is “a real high point in the progression of Cheval des Andes” according to Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, continuing Cheval’s “steady ascent towards the summit of the very best and most sought-after New World reds” according to critic Tim Atkin.

Combining legendary Bordeaux First Growth wine making expertise with the very best terroir in Argentina, these 97 plus pt. selections from Cheval des Andes attest to the impeccable level of detail from vineyard management to wine making that is built into its legacy, a must buy for Malbec fans whether putting together a mixed case or selecting a few favorites, available in a range of formats and original wooden cases for cellaring.

The 2018 Cheval des Andes is a blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in small lots in 3,000- to 8,000-liter tanks and matured 40% in 225-liter oak barrels, 40% in 400-liter oak barrels and the remaining 20% in 2,500-liter oak vats for 13 months. Ninety percent of the oak used was French and the rest a blend of Austrian, Slovenian and German oak, 50% of it new. 2018 has been one of the best vintages in recent times in Mendoza, and the wine shows it. It's a cooler vintage, and the wine has improved in freshness and elegance without losing any clout. It's 14.5% alcohol and has a pH of 3.73. This is young, juicy, elegant and balanced and still has some herbal and toasted notes; it's medium to full-bodied, with the creamy and luxurious texture of the modern Bordeaux, ultra fine tannins and a long, dry and precise finish. It's still undeveloped and seems to have all the components and the balance between them for a long and positive development in bottle. With wines like this, I sometimes wish I had a time machine so I could see them in 20 years from now... I think this is the finest Cheval des Andes I've ever tasted. 100,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020.

98 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Sep 2021)

This is a plush, rich Cheval with blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. HInts of tar and fresh lavender. Full body. The depth and richness are impressive, as are the ripe yet fresh tannins. Very long and structured, yet controlled and in balance. This will be a great wine indeed. Release in September 2021. Drink after 2023.
