I highly recommend B‑21. Amazing price on shipping and competitive pricing. They answer questions quickly and professionally. I've been using them for several years and there has never been an error in my order and there has never been a problem with the packaging. Thank you B‑21!

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.

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.

2019 Chateau Carbonnieux Rouge (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation

Produced in “a brilliant vintage for the dry whites of Bordeaux” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, lovers of crisp, mineral-driven white wines can count on the 92 pt. 2021 Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc to deliver the goods, its bright, citrusy fruit balanced with flinty, saline-tinged acidity on a creamy, mouthwatering finish, a classic expression of its Pessac-Leognan terroir ready to enjoy at a fraction of the price of its high profile neighbors.

Situated at the heart of a sprawling vineyard and surrounded by manicured trees, the 12^th century turreted Chateau Carbonnieux is one of the oldest estates in Pessac-Leognan, owned by the Perrin family for over a half century who are credited with consistently producing an exceptional Bordeaux Blanc described as “one of the great classics of Bordeaux dry whites” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson. Located 16 kilometers south of Bordeaux city near Haut Bailly and Smith Haut Lafitte, the sustainably farmed 46-hectare vineyard for the Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc is situated on a gently sloping, large gravel hill that rises to 50 meters, planted mostly to Sauvignon Blanc with 35% Semillon in a mix of limestone and clay and cooled by the nearby Garonne, preserving the grapes’ freshness and acidity. Sourced from a cooler Bordeaux vintage described as producing “exceptional dry white wines” by Decanter, the 2021 Carbonnieux Blanc was aged in a mix of 25% new French oak utilizing 225-liter and 400-liter barrels, along with one-third aged in large wooden vats or foudre for an average of 10 months with lees stirring throughout the aging, exhibiting “rock solid balance” according to Jeb Dunnuck with chalky mineral nuances and intense structure reflecting its Pessac-Leognan pedigree.

Describing it as testament to the Perrin family’s dedication to quality, the Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth declares, “I’d be hard-pressed to find a better white Bordeaux that offers such classic typicity and age-ability at a square price,” the silky and vibrant 92 pt. Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc a deliciously satisfying blend punching well above its weight that will appeal equally to White Bordeaux lovers and fans of crisp, elegant whites seeking a great deal.

The 2019 Château Carbonnieux sports a deep purple/ruby hue to go with a brilliant nose of red and black currants, spring flowers, spicy oak, and hints of tobacco. It's beautiful on the palate as well and is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's the finest wine I've tasted from this estate. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all brought up in 40% new barrels. It’s well worth tracking down some bottles and will keep for two decades.

94 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Apr 2022)

I am so pleased that the 2019 Carbonnieux has retained the engaging aromatics that I found from the barrel sample: copious blackberry, raspberry, incense and light violet aromas soar from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine-grained tannins, and much more precise than recent vintages, leading to a harmonious, silky-smooth, almost tender finish. More polished than recent vintages, this Carbonnieux comes highly recommended.

94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Feb 2022)

Black fruit, dried sage, charred bark, lavender, graphite and oyster shell on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly wound tannins. Focused. Excellent tannin framing. Best yet. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Try in 2026.

94 points, James Suckling (Feb 2022)

Dominated by structured Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is powerful, with layers of wood-aging flavors to go with the strong tannins. Developing slowly, it is likely to be ready from 2026.
