OUR LATEST NEWS
Looking forward to opening this case next week….
#WinesOfTheWeek | @royestate Mr. Evans Proprietary Red 2016 and Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
We`re delighted to present the new releases from Napa`s ROY Estate; The Mr. Evans Proprietary Red 2016, a captivating wine that expresses the full range of the Estate Vineyard combining all three planted varietals (#CabernetSauvignon, #Merlot and #PetitVerdot). And the Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, an absolute #Napa classic, with just a splash of Petit Verdot to complete the picture. Among the hardest wines to source from the Valley, with small production and a mailing list bursting at the seams, these are only ever available fleetingly at release. The 2016s sum up why the vintage is hailed as one of the very best in Napa, and they have been received brilliantly by the critics. @antoniogalloni was seriously impressed with both wines. He described the Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 as a "vibrant full-throttle, beautifully layered Napa Valley Cabernet", and of the Proprietary Red 2016 he said: "All the elements come together beautifully."
For more information, please see the links in bio.

#Winery of the Week | @aristawinery
Owned by brothers Mark and Ben McWilliams, Arista`s wines are setting the benchmark for #Sonoma and it has rocketed up the ranks of Sonoma`s powerhouse wineries. Winemaker Matt Courtney (@macourtol) utilises the remarkable experience he gained during his 8 years at #Marcassin to craft wines that `wow` at every turn, and it`s no surprise they have become some of Sonoma`s most sought after bottles.
We’re pleased to announce the release of the Arista Pinot Noir 2018s; Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2018 and U.V. Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018. And for the first time available at release in the UK, the highly-prized Chardonnays; Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2018, Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2018, Banfield Vineyard Chardonnay 2018.
The Arista 2018s are all offered under bond, and will be available for delivery in late-2021. Please call us directly for enquiries on +44 (0) 1491 876 680.
#Newsflash | “Postcard from California: ‘Visitors are toasting their new found freedoms’
There’s a festive atmosphere in Napa and Sonoma, where tourists are back and Covid rules are set to be dropped.” We were thrilled to read Matt Villano’s article in @thetimes over the weekend, and the news that tourism officials say visitor numbers to #Napa and #Sonoma are at their highest since the pandemic started, up by as much as 230 per cent in some parts of the region. If tickets to the three-day music festival “BottleRock”, which will include headliners from Stevie Nicks and the Foo Fighters, selling out in an hour is anything to go by, all signs are pointing to a super summer ahead.

#WineryoftheWeek | Epoch Estate Wines
Pronounced “Epic”, @epochwines is a shining example of why #PasoRobles is arguably the most exciting wine region in the World right now. In 2004, Bill and Liz Armstrong’s mission to find the perfect plot of land led them to #PaderewskiVineyard where the unique soils, undulating hillsides and extreme temperature swings were exactly what they were looking for. In the 1900’s, the vineyard had been cherished by world-renowned pianist, Polish diplomat and vintner Jan Paderewski. Fast forward a century and the property stood forgotten and fallow. Bill and Liz became stewards of the property with a specific vision to bring the historic vineyard back to life, and the #Epoch story began.
To discover more about Epoch Estate Wines and its winemaker @jordanfiorentini, whose palate speaks to her in shapes and who now draws her tasting notes in addition to writing them, please see the link in bio.
High praise from critics coupled with limited production mean that @argotwines have never been available in the UK… until now. We’re thrilled to be working with Justin Harmon, one of #Sonoma`s most exciting, up-and-coming winemakers, and have 36 bottles of his most famous wine; Bastard Tongue Pinot Noir 2018 which will be arriving this Summer. @jebdunnuck describes it as “a big, ripe, sexy beast of a #PinotNoir…. full-bodied, it has a hedonistic, sweetly fruited style, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It doesn’t pull any punches yet stays balanced, textured, and a joy to drink.”
The Bastard Tongue 2018 is offered under bond and will be available for delivery in Summer, 2021. Please call us directly for enquiries on +44 (0) 1491 876 680.
Cementing @danaestateswine place among the elite wineries of the #NapaValley, the Dana Estates Helms Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 and Lotus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 have been lavished with praise from critics. @james.suckling comments “I found the wines to be some of the best I have rated so far from 2018.” while @lisapbmw says “I`m continually awed by the level of dedication, attention to detail and no-compromises attitude at Dana Estates.”
With global demand vastly exceeding production, every vintage of #Helms and #Lotus sells-out at release. As the winery-direct allocation for the UK is extremely limited, please call us directly for enquiries +44 (0) 1491 876 680.
On #ChardonnayDay, we can`t think of a better way to celebrate than with a glass of Hope’s Cuvée from @signorelloestate. Produced from a single vineyard block planted some 40+ years ago, it offers up gorgeous depth and complexity. To discover more about Hope`s Cuvée Chardonnay 2017 and other stunning Californian Chardonnays, please see the links in bio.
Four Corners Wine joins the global wine industry in mourning the passing of Jim Clendenen. A winery legend, a pioneer in Santa Barbara and the “Mind Behind” @aubonclimat since 1982.
We will be raising a glass of #PinotNoir this evening in memory of the man who carved a path for subtler, European-inspired Pinot Noirs in #California.
#WineoftheWeek | @cliffledevineyards High Fidelity 2018
Produced by dream team Cliff Lede, David Abreu and @christophertynan, this cuvée is unlike any other wine produced at the Estate as it has a focus on #CabernetFranc. Ask any of #Napa`s top winemakers which varietal they are most excited about, and this is the one. Chris masterfully blends this Cabernet Franc with #CabernetSauvignon, #Merlot and a splash of #PetitVerdot from Cliff Lede`s Twin Peaks Estate Vineyard in #StagsLeapDistrict, and has created a wine which will be a pleasure to drink at any time. As @jebdunnuck says, "It`s already hard to resist, yet it has everything in place to cellar gracefully for another 10-15 years”
We`re collecting the UK allocation from the winery shortly, so make sure to reserve your case now.
As 17 May approaches, we’re thrilled that our friends in the hospitality industry will be able to open indoors again soon. Top of our hit list will be @chilternfirehouse, @hunanlondon and of course @67pall_mall. The Four Corners Wine team wish everyone a tremendously successful re-opening, and look forward to visiting the capital’s finest dining spots as the restaurant world comes back to life.

Watch the video for an update on the 2021 vintage from #Carneros with Chris Hyde @hydevineyard.

#WineoftheWeek | Dana Estates VASO Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
With the @danaestateswine vineyards hailed as “Some of the best sites in #NapaValley” by Robert Parker @wine_advocate, and no-expense-spared in the winery, the VASO Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is one of the Valley’s best kept secrets. @james.suckling comments “This is a beautiful red with plums, currants and spice. Full body and creamy, polished tannins. Extremely flavourful and delicious. Hard to wait on this. Drink or hold.” We’ll be collecting the UK allocation shortly and can’t recommend this Napa Cab highly enough. £365 per 6 in bond.

#Newsflash Every Wednesday since the beginning of the first lockdown, @matthewjukes has selected wines he feels will “lift your mood during these uncertain times” to feature in his “Wednesday Wines” round-up. This week, in Episode 57, we’re delighted to see that he’s included two available through #FourCornersWines amongst his favourites; the @barnettvineyards Spring Mountain District #CabernetSauvignon 2018 which he describes as “very nice nose, great mulberry fruit and stunning purity, this is an extremely polished wine and one made from the highest quality ingredient” and the #BarnettVineyards Rattlesnake Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 on which he comments “with even more focus and length than the estate Cabernet, this was the wine of the line-up. It is magnificent in every way and it has an epic future ahead of it.”

#Newsflash The latest issue of @harpers_wine_spirit, the leading UK-based drinks trade publication, features a great piece on California #PinotNoir and #Chardonnay which delves into whether these varieties can challenge French supremacy.
