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.

B-21 Top Recommendation

From an excellent Rhone vintage boasting “a wealth of beautiful wines” according to Jeb Dunnuck, these top scoring 2020 Tardieu Laurent selections offer Rhone fans and collectors a bounty of outstanding values, meticulously crafted by legendary negociant winemaker Michel Tardieu and his son from low yielding, old vines throughout t Southern Rhone and well-priced for mixing a case.

Collaborating with a network of long-time growers from bud break to harvest, Michel Tardieu and his son Bastien transport the fermented wines from each grower to their cellars in Provence, employing a unique aging regimen for each cuvee utilizing a mix of new and used French oak barrels and foudres and bottling without filtration or fining. Two exceptional Southern Rhone values, the elegant 92 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes is “full-bodied, smooth, well balanced and harmonious” according to Decanter’s Matt Walls while Jeb Dunnuck calls the rich 92 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Rasteau Vieilles Vignes a “ripe, textured, textbook Rasteau to enjoy over the coming decade,” both blended from mostly Grenache from 60 year old vines with 20% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah from 40 year vines. Described as “a showstopper” by Jeb Dunnuck and a Southern Rhone beauty not to be missed, the powerful 95 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Gigondas Vieilles Vignes offers rich, concentrated fruit scented with classic garrigue, a blend of mostly Grenache with 5% Mourvèdre from vines ranging up to 100 years and 5% Syrah over 40 years of age, while from the North, the “full-bodied, richly textured” 100% Syrah 93 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Cornas comes from vines ranging from 60 to 100 years old, both promising to age gracefully over the next decade and beyond. Two outstanding CPD’s, the muscular 95 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes comes from Grenache vines ranging from 80 to 100 years of age and Mourvedre and Syrah from 60 to 80 years and is “incredibly impressive” according to Dunnuck, while calling the “absolutely brilliant” 98 pt. 2020 Tardieu Laurent Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Speciale “a true wow wine if there ever was one," a blend of 99% Grenache from old vines over 100 years of age.

With a challenging 2021 vintage following on its heels, Rhone fans and collectors can rely on these top rated, impeccably sourced 2020 Tardieu Laurent old vine selections to over deliver value, this offer for a full range of 90 plus pt. gems representing a terrific opportunity to stock up on a sure thing from a master of Rhone terroir at unbeatable bargain pricing.

Ripe and succulent, this is laden with a mix of linzer torte, blackberry and mulberry flavors that hold center stage from start to finish. This is also driven by a buried graphite note and flanked by alluring black tea and singed anise, with late mineral and shiso leaf hints leaving an alluring echo. Built for the cellar. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2024 through 2040. 450 cases made, 150 cases imported.

95 points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Feb 2023)

A beautiful aromatic display of blackberries, raspberries, black olives and wild thyme present exuberantly on the nose. Though a bit austere, the palate is refreshed by an abundance of energy, brisk acidity and lushness. Further complexity and integration can be expected with cellaring through 2035+.

95 points, Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2023)

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is darker and more powerful, with some smoky oak as well as notes of ground pepper, garrigue, and assorted blackberry and darker plum fruits. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's concentrated, has ripe tannins, and just about perfect balance. It's incredibly impressive but needs to be forgotten for 3-4 years at a minimum, which is rare for a 2020.

94 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Nov 2022)

Camphor, menthol and plum. This is concentrated, but nicely compact and has intensity and tension. It's also seriously tannic, though the tannins are ripe. A powerful, muscular and potent Gigondas. Drinkable young with a côte de boeuf, but could provide some complexity and intrigue with age.
