Crafted by the former assistant winemaker at legendary cult producer Sine Qua Non for “fans of big, concentrated, nuanced Rhone Ranger styles” according to the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown, these top scoring Andremily selections offer a range of red and white wines “built on textural opulence” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, a rare opportunity for Cali Rhone fans and collectors to acquire wines typically reserved for their mailing list including exclusive back vintage magnum sets at unbeatable value pricing.

After achieving a staggering twenty-seven 100 point scores during his tenure with winemaker Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non, Jim Binns established Andremily in 2012 on the outskirts of Ventura California just south of Santa Barbara, naming it for the combination of his two children’s names, Andrew and Emily and devoting his full attention to his Central Coast project in 2017. Sourcing grapes from top Santa Barbara vineyards including the legendary Bien Nacido and White Hawk, Jim has also expanded his use of estate grown fruit since his recent purchase of the 39-acre Slide Hill Vineyard in Edna Valley, a move that has had “a profound impact on the wine” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous with the wines revealing “more nuance and delineation.” A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 26% Roussanne, 19% Marsanne, and 15% Viognier, the 97 pt. 2021 Andremily White Cuvee is described by Jeb Dunnuck as a “ripe, sexy, yet pure and flawlessly balanced white should be snatched up by readers, while the 97 pt. 2019 Andremily EABA “End All Be All” blend of mostly Syrah with Mourvedre is an “outrageously beautiful ample wine that captures the Andremily style at its best” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous. From “an undeniably great vintage throughout the Central Coast that will be loved by those who prioritize finesse and elegance,” Jeb Dunnuck calls the 97 pt. 2021 Andremily #10 Syrah “stunningly complex even at this young age” with full-bodied richness “and a finish that won’t quit,” while the 100 pt. 2021 Andremily Mourvedre, blended with 12% Syrah including fruit comes from the Slide Hill estate vineyard, boasts “solid tannins, perfect balance, and a great finish” and promises “two decades of longevity” according to Dunnuck. Offered as a set of two magnums, the exceptional 97 pt. 2019 Andremily EABA is paired with the stunning 97 pt. 2019 Grenache, described as “dark, bold and luscious” by Antonio Galloni of Vinous with “a seamless, layered texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish” according to the Wine Advocate’s Erin Brooks. A magnum duo from the 2020 vintage, the 97 pt. 2020 Andremily #9 Syrah boasts “a ripe, lush texture, solid tannins, and a great finish” according to Jeb Dunnuck, while the “simply stunning” 100 pt. 2020 Andremily Mourvedre is crafted by “one of a handful of the finest Mourvedre artisans in the world” according to the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown, an elegantly rich and deeply structured wine inspired by Beaucastel’s Hommage a Jacques Perrin.

Crafted in “a rich, unctuous style, with extended maceration and tons of depth,” Antonio Galloni describes the Andremily portfolio as “incredibly exciting” while Jeb Dunnuck calls them “stunningly singular wines” that “readers should not miss,” these small production, top rated Andremily blends from incredibly talented winemaker Jim Binns priced well below cult favorite Sine Qua Non to deliver exceptional value for California Rhone fans.

2019 EABA: The 2019 EABA ("end all be all") is a blend of 61% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 13% Grenache and 2% Viognier and was made with 65% whole clusters. Fruit comes from several vineyards in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, including Bien Nacido, White Hawk, Larner, Harrison-Clarke, G2 and Alta Mesa. It was matured for about 22 months in 55% new French barriques and 600-liter demi-muids and 45% used French barriques, and it was bottled on August 21, 2021. Opaque ruby-purple in color, it offers beautiful, pure scents of licorice, tar, blueberry and black cherry jam, charcuterie, pepper, olive and fried savory herbs, offering up more nuances as it spends time in the glass. Medium-bodied, it has abundant, super-fine tannins, seamless acidity and slowly expanding, spicy flavor layers, finishing very long and alluringly floral. Its notable length, detail and latency suggest this will continue to improve in bottle over the next 5-7 years and will be long lived in the cellar. About 795 cases and a few magnums were made. It will be packaged and sold as a three-bottle set ($330), and each magnum will be sold in a box set with the 2019 Andremily Grenache.

2019 Grenache: Moving to the 2019s from bottle, the 2019 Grenache offers a slightly more floral and perfumed style, with kirsch liqueur, herbes de Provence, sandalwood, and licorice. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Grenache that has a seamless, layered texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's a more ethereal, perfumed, ultra-fine effort that will drink well for 15 years or more.
