Good spring followed by gray, humid summer, but dry weather through September and October saved the vintage. Best in upper Médoc

AboutCourtney Benham 2021 'Mélange du Baum' Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Really have been turned off to anything Courtney Benham ever since Total Wine reps tried pushing it to me every time I went there. Tried a bottle and was completed disappointed compared to the price point. This is a much higher price point than I paid before, but the brand is completely lost to me as reputable ever since Total Wine made it their mission to push it's substandard bottles onto customers aggressively.

It would be great if there was a tab for the Wine Spies store just like the Last Bottle Catalog tab. That is, an analysis of each wine in the store, not just the featured wine.

AboutGandona Estate 2021 'Encosta' Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Hey Jimmy, You asked for it: This listing quotes a $32 wine-searcher comparative price, the search params seem fine, but the URL resolves to a "Could not find any products for..." page, not surprising for this wine. Not sure where the $32 came from but it looks like a specious comparison... -j

Which wine? The 2021 Gandona? I”m seeing $104 avg price from winesearcher on winebuyerapp.

D'oh! Sorry man, I guess context would help. Was the 2023 Patland Estate 'The Hidden Gallery' Merlot on da Spies.
