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.

2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala (750ml)

Chardonnay from Umbria, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Fans of Antinori’s powerful Super Tuscans and Chiantis might be surprised to discover the estate produces one of Italy’s top rated, age worthy Chardonnay wines from its Umbrian estate, the richly textured 97 pt. 2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala revealing luscious stone fruit hinting of citrus and spice with bright saline acidity on a crisp, refined finish, ranked #58 on James Suckling's Top 100 Italian Wines of 2023 and solidly built to enjoy over the next decade and beyond.

Landlocked Umbria is a lesser traveled gem among Italian wine regions divided by the spine of the Apennine Mountains, its northern reaches near the Tuscan border home to Marchesi Antinori’s magnificent medieval Castello della Sala estate. Spanning a total of 600 hectares, the estate’s 240 hectares of hillside vineyards are situated at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters above sea level, planted in mainly clay and calcareous soils and rich in fossil shells that contribute a distinct minerality to the Cervaro. Composed of mostly Chardonnay matured in a mix of new and used oak barrels and 7% Grechetto fermented exclusively in stainless steel, the enticing 2021 Cervaro della Sala was blended in stainless steel vats before spending several months in bottle prior to release, yielding “a dramatic Cervaro della Sala that has amazing balance” with “silky, verging on creamy textures” according to Eric Guido of Vinous, who sums it up as “pure elegance.”

Described as Marchesi Antinori’s “top white wine” by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, the elegant 97 pt. 2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala is “a perfect example of the heights that Chardonnay can reach in this region” according to critic Eric Guido, and while often mistaken for White Burgundy in blind tastings, a delicious and uniquely Italian Chardonnay that's a worthy addition to any cellar.

This is very aromatic and lifted with mineral, nougat, floral, and lightly cooked apples. Some flint and matchstick. Medium- to full-bodied with a fine phenolic and acid backbone that energizes the wine. Complex aftertaste with subtle fruit and pastry at the end. This will age beautifully but hard not to drink now.

97 points, James Suckling (Aug 2023)

This wine is mostly Chardonnay with about 7% Grechetto. The presence of the Grechetto has declined quite a bit over the past couple of vintages. Given these tweaks to the winemaking formula, the 2021 Cervaro della Sala promises an exceptionally crisp and linear presentation with salty mineral tones, lots of stone fruit and tart apple. No malolactic fermentation or oak is used on the Umbrian grape that always adds a hint of rusticity and Umbrian authenticity. However, the Chardonnay is fermented in oak and aged in both new and used barrel. In light of climate change, work is being completed to reduce vineyard density, with new plantings going in at 3,500 vines per hectare, down from 5,500 vines per hectare like we saw in the past.
