B21 has an Incredible selection of wine, especially my favorite Pinot Noirs! However, what sets this wine shop apart from others? They have exemplary and attentive customer service. They answer emails promptly, offer shipping deals, and they will hold a wine shipment for inclement weather circumstances. What more could you want? AWESOME store!

My mixed case of Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Black arrived quickly. The packaging is excellent as the bottles are packed horizontally in thick padded form‑fitting shelves that also work wekk as wine racks. I highly recommend B21 and its charming Tarpon Springs home base.

B‑21 is the best! You can count on them for speedy delivery, fair prices and easy problem resolution. As an example, I once had a shipment arrive with several broken bottles due to the shipper. B‑21 immediately shipped me another case and had the shipper pick up the damaged goods. I highly recommend B‑21!

2019 Chateau Cantenac Brown (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaux, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

A load of top scoring 2019 Bordeaux values just arrived. Called “one of the most consistent vintages in Bordeaux in the 21st Century” by the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown with quality “incredibly reliable from top to bottom,” these top rated 2019 selections offer the winning combination of approachability and longevity, unbeatably priced for Bordeaux fans seeking value to stock the cellar.

Declaring 2019 an outstanding vintage “that readers will love to have in their cellar,” Jeb Dunnuck calls the Merlot-dominated 92 pt. 2019 Clos du Roy from Fonsac “a hidden gem” that “should keep for a decade,” while describing the age worthy 93 pt. 2019 La Rose Perriere as “full-bodied, rich, structured” and the concentrated 94 pt. 2019 Chateau Potensac as a “beautifully pure, elegant Medoc that's well worth seeking out.” Producing “phenomenal wines in every appellation,” Antonio Galloni of Vinous calls the aromatic 94 pt. 2019 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc “a total knock-out” hinting of wild peach and honeysuckle, while the 100% Merlot 94 pt. 2019 Chateau Les Gravieres is “a “deep, mineral-driven St. Emilion of real distinction,” and the rich 94 pt. 2019 Labegorce is a “succulent Margaux” that’s “ample and expressive.” Calling 2019 a vintage offering “harmony, balance and freshness,” James Suckling describes the full-bodied 95 pt. 2019 Moulin du Cadet St. Emilion as boasting “wonderful energy,” while the 93 pt. Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated 2019 Chateau Chasse-Spleen offers “chewy tannins and vibrant, juicy fruit” and the richly aromatic 97 pt. 2019 Chateau Soutard-Cadet blends 90% Merlot and 10% Cab Franc to reveal “firm tannins and light, toasted oak” built for the long haul. The Wine Advocate’s William Kelley describes the full-bodied 94 pt. 2019 Chateau Bellefont-Belcier from St. Emilion as “velvety and seamless,” while he calls the impeccably balanced 97 pt. 2019 Chateau Saint-Pierre “the most gourmand, immediate wine of Saint-Julien,” describing the 2019’s overall as offering “notable intensity and persistence of flavor.” Calling 2019 a vintage of “rich and lush wines,” Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson describes the deeply aromatic 95 pt. 2019 Chateau Cantenac-Brown as “well muscled” with a “ton of tightly packed black fruit,” and calls the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated 97 pt. 2019 Chateau Gruaud Larose “totally gorgeous” and the essence of “St. Julien in a glass,” while the stunning 98 pt. 2019 Rauzan-Segla is “well made and well delivered” with “Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant fruits,” boasting layered tannins built for decades of enjoyment.

Calling it “a truly great vintage for Bordeaux,” Neal Martin of Vinous enthusiastically endorsed the 2019s as “more opulent and bigger” at a recent retrospective tasting, all the more reason to pick a few favorites or mix a case or two of these top rated 2019 Bordeaux selections while they remain available and exceptionally priced to enjoy now and over the next decades.

José Sanfins has overseen a 2019 Cantenac Brown that will give immense pleasure in coming years. The bouquet has tightened up since I tasted the barrel sample (also at the château, in summer 2021): blackberry, raspberry and cedar are now accompanied by just a touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and a vibrant, harmonious finish. This Margaux brims with confidence and should give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure. The insiders' Margaux of choice.

95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Feb 2022)

This has subtle aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries with hints of just-picked violets, light vanilla, licorice and crushed stones. Forest-floor notes, too. Medium to full body, layers of firm tannins and a velvety mouth-feel. Delicious crushed berries on the palate. Compact with a firm finish. Better from 2026.

95 points, James Suckling (Feb 2022)

The 2019 Cantenac Brown is a brilliant wine from José Sanfins and his team. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of wild berries, licorice, loamy soil, burning embers and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, with terrific concentration, beautifully refined tannins and a seamless, elegant profile. Given its quality, this remains somewhat under the radar and is well worth a special effort to seek out.

94+ points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Apr 2022)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cantenac Brown wafts out with notes of rosehip tea, blackberry preserves, and cassis, plus nuances of charcoal, dried herbs, and damp soil. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively backbone and plush tannins supporting the concentrated black fruits, finishing fragrant.

94 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent (Apr 2022)

The 2019 Château Cantenac Brown is terrific, surpassing the 2018. Lots of ripe black and blue fruits as well as scorched earth, leather, and crushed stone notes define the bouquet, and it's a rich, medium to full-bodied, juicy wine that has the fresher, lively style of the vintage yet still brings beautiful fruit. It doesn't have the tannin quality of the top wines in the appellation, but as I wrote after tasting it from barrel, it's one sexy Margaux. Give it just a few years and enjoy over the following 20 years.

93 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Apr 2022)

Shows the hallmarks of the vintage, with steeped plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit paste flavors that are broad and lush, while singed wood, violet and anise notes filter in. Features underlying freshness, with finely beaded acidity providing support. A step ahead. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2035. 9,583 cases made.
