2019 Passionate Wine ‘Tinto del Mono’
$15.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 92 ~ Plum and berry aromas are intense and a bit scratchy, which is fair given that this is a bright blend of equal parts Malbec and Syrah.

2018 Foradori Teroldego
$37.00Add to cartVinous 91 ~ The Foradori Teroldego always makes for a wonderful introduction to the brand. In fact, it was a vertical tasting of the Teroldego, a wine created in a fresh style from younger vines, yet still noble and age-worthy, that first won my heart - not the top-shelf Granato. The 2018 is no different. Here I’m finding a display of wild berry, fresh peppery herbs, violets, and crushed stone. It’s silky in texture, complemented by cool-toned red fruits and minerals, with just a hint of round tannin that provides grip. Inner florals resonate, while residual acids pinch at the taste buds. This is perfectly balanced, wonderfully pleasing today yet able to mature over the medium term in a cold cellar. -

$22.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The fruit used for Queen D comes from a single vineyard in Oregon - The Cowhorn Vineyard, a pristine biodynamic vineyard in the heart of Applegate Valley. It's an ideal site for Rhône varietals, with its rocky, well-drained river bench soils, warm temperatures, and dry growing seasons. The 2018 Queen D is a vibrant expression of Marsanne and Roussanne in equal parts. Aromas of mandarin orange, lemon liqueur, dried peaches and apricots, and white honeysuckle give way to the suprisingly tense palate. While the richness of fruit is certainly forefront, the acidity provides a refrehsing backbone to the flavor profile. -

2013 Tenuta di Arceno ‘Arcanum’
$88.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 96 ~ The 2013 Arcanum is a blend of 73% Cabernet Franc with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernet Franc element is obviously strongest, and you get steely notes of black fruit follow by wild sage and rosemary oil. This is a powerful and thickly layered red wine that pushes the boundaries of extract and intensity, especially for a Tuscan red wine. Off the top of my head, I can count maybe ten wines from the region that take on such a full-bodied and opulent approach. This wine should age forward for many years to come. -

The wine opens to a dark garnet color with a saturated hue, leading to a full, all-encompassing bouquet. The Barolo Bric dël Fiasc is often the most representative wine in the Scavino portfolio, and never has this been more true than in this classic vintage. Dark fruit, licorice, spice and ferrous earth build a fluid and multifaceted bouquet. The mouthfeel sits firm and tight on the palate today, promising to evolve and soften tomorrow. This is a bottle for your cellar. -
2014 Solomon Hills Estate Pinot Noir
$66.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 93 ~ Rhubarb, cranberry and roasted plum aromas meet with gamy hints of grilled boar and toasted oak on the nose of this bottling.

The wine is deceivingly streamlined in terms of mouthfeel, but that slim and buttoned-down backbone supports a broad range of flavors and sensations, from lavender essence and camphor ash to moist soil and toasted spice.

$297.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 97 ~ A blend of 64 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 percent Cabernet Franc, 9 percent Petit Verdot and 9 Percent Merlot, the deep garnet-purple 2017 Proprietary Red soars out of the glass with notions of baked blueberries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial, backed up by nuances of chocolate mint, wild sage, violets and pencil shavings, plus an earthy hint of Chinese five spice. The rich, seductive, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with spicy black fruit preserves, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and opulent. -
2017 Pulido-Walker ‘Melanson Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon
$285.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 97 ~ I suspect the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon might be a candidate for the wine of the vintage with 4-5 years of bottle age. From a vineyard on Pritchard Hill, just across from Colgin, and 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, this inky colored beauty offers loads of blueberry and blackcurrant liqueur-like fruits as well as lots of spice, flowery incense, and subtle herbal undertones. Textbook Cabernet on the nose, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a great, great finish. It's one of the few wines in the vintage that comes close to rivaling its 2015 and 2016 counterparts. The cellar will be your friend on this one, though, and a good 4-6 years of bottle age are warranted. -
2015 Realm ‘Moonracer’
$476.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 96 ~ Blended of 77 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 percent Merlot, 9 percent Cabernet Franc and 5 percent Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon The Estate-Moonracer features compelling red and black currant notes laced with sandalwood, cinnamon stick, cedar chest, cigar boxes, dried leaves and dusty soil. The muscular, medium to full-bodied palate fills the mouth with lively red and black fruit layers, framed by wonderfully fine, pixelated tannins, finishing long and spicy. -
2015 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Corton Rognet Grand Cru
$230.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The brooding and inexpressive nose is distinctively sauvage-inflected on the earthy and softly spiced red and dark cherry-scented aromas. There is fine richness to the textured and unusually refined middle weight plus flavors that also possess evident muscularity on the stony, intense and beautifully complex finish. Excellent quality here and this is a classic Corton that should age effortlessly for years to come. -
2017 Domaine Méo-Camuzet ‘Grand Maupertuis’ Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
$448.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ There is a bit more overall oak influence to the cooler and more restrained combination of red and dark berries with similar floral and earth nuances. The bigger difference lies in the tighter and denser medium weight plus flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured, more complex, more structured and more austere finale. -
2018 Monticello Vineyards ‘Jefferson Cuvée’ Cabernet Sauvignon
$35.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Dark, luscious aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and anise with tones of lightly toasted oak and hints of vanilla. The lighter tones from the barrels are a nice balance to the dark tones of the wine. On the palate, the wine is rich in texture, with a full-bodied mid-palate. The moderate tannins frame the wine very nicely as it enters a very long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2042. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot ‘Le Rognet et Corton’ Corton Grand Cru
$154.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Dense bright purple, very lively, good weight here, a certain sucrosity, ripe fruit covers the tannins and the stems until the very end. -
2013 Frog’s Leap Merlot (1.5L Magnum)
$74.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 90 ~ There's a healthy 17 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 1 percent Cabernet Franc in this wine, which is classically structured in red fruit, soft oak and peppery spice. Its cedar notes speak to the Cab within, while the overall texture and breadth of the wine is lengthy, food-ready and impressive. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot ‘Les Epenots’ Pommard 1er Cru
$165.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Raspberry, wild strawberry and briar storm from the glass with great intensity, signifying a Pommard determined to make an impression. This is a beautifully crafted Pommard. -
2016 Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape
$66.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 95 ~ Crushed-mineral tones and heady garrigue mingle into rich, throbbing black-cherry and plum flavors in this wine. It’s a brawny, bigbodied red with a densely packed fruit profile and fine but fiery tannins. Hold till 2021. It should improve well through 2030. -
2006 Veuve Clicquot ‘La Grande Dame’
$155.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 ~ The prestigious 2006 La Grande Dame is made from 47 percent Chardonnay and 53 percent Pinot Noir, and assembles the fruit of eight grand cru villages. Very intense and complex on the nose, this is a full-bodied, round, rich and mouth-filling, but also refined prestige cuvée; it reveals a fascinating purity, precision and freshness. The finish is long and complex, and shows a spicy minerality. There are coffee beans, bread and toast aromas in the aftertaste. This comes highly recommended. -
2017 Buenas Viura
$10.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Alluring notes of ripe, red grapefruit that intermingle with flavors of pear and wild flower on the palate. This refreshing white has invigorating acidity with a crisp, clean finish. -
2017 Domaine Alain Chavy ‘Les Pucelles’ Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
$154.00Add to cartVinous 92 ~ The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet that is just missing a little energy at the moment - much like the Les Clavoillons. The palate is well balanced with a tad more weight than the Clavoillons, quite rounded in texture, the oak well integrated with a nuanced, slightly honeyed finish that lingers in the mouth. -
2016 Château la Gaffelière Saint-Émilion
$124.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 ~ Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 La Gaffeliere opens with compelling wild blueberries, freshly crushed plums and kirsch scents plus hints of garrigue, underbrush, rose hip tea and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant with a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness carrying the multilayered fruit to a long finish. -
2017 Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair ‘Aux Réas’ Vosne Romanée
$144.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Here too there is just enough reduction to mask the fruit but not the underlying spice nuances. The caressing, velvety and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess fine volume plus solid depth and persistence on the balanced finish. This very good effort is very Vosne in style. -
2016 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red
$217.00Add to cartJames Suckling 96 ~ A concentrated and essence-like nose of elderberries, blackcurrant compote, peppermint and forest floor, but also hot stones, pressed violets and fresh eucalyptus. So complete and complex on the palate, which is full-bodied and layered with super velvety tannins, wrapping the seamless fruit together. A mouthful of pure silk. -
2015 E. Guigal ‘Brune et Blonde de Guigal’ Côte-Rôtie
$80.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 95 ~ Intriguing notes of earth, dried herb, blood and iron lend complexity to elegantly muted flavors of preserved plum and black cherry in this wine. It’s full bodied and rich but briskly balanced too, with a palate streaked with char, vanilla and spice. A gorgeously brooding expression of Côte-Rôtie, it finishes on fine, firm tannins. Beautiful already the wine will reveal greater perfume and complexity through 2035 and hold further still. -
2016 E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis ‘Cannubi’ Barolo
$148.00Add to cartJames Suckling 98 ~ Subtle aromas of flowers and strawberries with hints of cranberries. It really rises from the glass and fills the room. Full-bodied, yet so refined and beautiful with ultra refined tannins and ever so polished tannins that make the wine stealthy and focused. Great length. A fantastic encore to the 99-point 2015. From organically grown grapes. -
2018 Bevan Cellars ‘Ontogeny’
$138.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 97 ~ Cassis, black olives, tobacco, chocolate, toasted spice, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2017 Ontogeny, a more rounded, plush, sexy wine that nevertheless packs ample muscle, depth, and richness. It's a beautifully balanced, silky, awesome wine as well as a killer value. -
2017 Boich Family Cellar ‘Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon
$190.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Notes of spiced plum, black cherry, and Bosc pear are followed by a note of mandarin orange and sarsaparilla that build intrigue and anticipation for the tasting experience. The palate has darker undertones and a thick round impression. The mélange of fruits and French roast coffee bean are mouth coating and build to a long satisfying finish and tannin that is perfectly ripe and firm. -
2014 Schweiger Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
$45.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The texture is a delicate balance of youthful grit and a velvety mouthfeel. The red plum, cedar, oak, and licorice linger on the palate, thanks to a harmonious integration for 32 months in the finest French oak barrels. -
2018 Antica Terra ‘Angelicall’ Rose
$130.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Translucent and ruby-hued, it shows astonishing, almost brooding concentration and insanely intense aromatics, evoking pastoral images of the forest—salmon berries still on the vine, underbrush and tatty climbing roses. On the palate, silky layers of rhubarb, tart pie cherries, hibiscus and spice. -
NV Henri Giraud Grand Cru ‘Aÿ Fût de Chêne’ MV Brut Rosé
$258.00Add to cartVinous 94 ~ A rich, sumptuous wine, the NV Fût de Chêne Rosé captures the essence of the Giraud house style. Rich, flamboyant and exotic, it possesses remarkable depth and textural resonance. Two years after its disgorgement, it is starting to show the first signs of aromatic development. I expect it will have a shorter maturation curve than some of the other wines in this range, but it is also exceptionally polished and expressive today. This release is 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay, with 8 percent still Pinot. Dosage is 7.5 grams per liter. Disgorged January 2015. -
2016 Cornell Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
$175.00Add to cartVinous 97 ~ The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon shows just how far the estate has progressed in just the last few years. Powerful and explosive, with tremendous aromatic intensity, the 2016 is a rapturously beautiful wine. Dark cherry, mocha, bittersweet chocolate, new leather, spice, sage, and lavender add layers of understated nuance and complexity in this riveting, stunningly dramatic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2016 shuts down quickly after opening, which is probably a very good thing for its aging prospects. The 2016 is an extraordinary and deeply moving wine from Cornell. -
2017 Domaine Meo-Camuzet Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Aux Murgers’ 1er Cru
$251.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 ~ Aromas of cassis, dark berries, grilled game and smoky new oak introduce the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, a medium-bodied wine that's satiny, layered and fine-boned, displaying unusually suave structure at this early stage and concluding with a sneakily intense finish despite its elegantly middle-weight profile. This is shaping up to be a precocious Méo Murgers that will drink well with just a few years' bottle age. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Pommard ‘Vieilles Vignes’
$90.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This is a lovely vibrant style, with strikingly fresh redcurrant fruit aromas. It has a pleasing line of finesse and elegance more often associated with Volnay. It nevertheless has a delicious central core of Pommard fruit and depth. The final sensation is one of depth and great charm. -
2019 Domaine Auchère Sancerre
$25.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Green fruit notes on the nose such as lime, green apple, and gooseberry, as well as fresh grapefruit. Bone-dry and racy on the palate, with a characteristic minerally finish. -
2016 Tenuta Guado al Tasso
$147.00Add to cartJames Suckling 98 ~ Beautiful center palate of fruit here with ripe and silky tannins that are resolved and fine-grained. Full-bodied, polished and ever so refined. Oyster shell, stone and hints of rosemary and lavender. Driven finish. Better after 2022. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay ‘Vieilles Vignes’
$90.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ An attractive bouquet of mulberry and raspberry aromas, quite refined in style and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm, almost Pommard-like tannins. This is a masculine Volnay, broody at the moment, but it will open up nicely with time in bottle, so don’t be afraid to stick it in the cellar for four or five years. -
2014 Bien Nacido Estate Syrah
$70.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 ~ The 2014 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard was showing very well, offering up an expressive bouquet of violets, cracked pepper, dried flowers and crushed cassis. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, bright and intense, with chalky structuring tannins, lovely tangy acidity and a long, perfumed finish. Like its 2015 counterpart, this nods to the Northern Rhône in style, but it's a bit more open for inspection. -
NV Jean-Noël Haton Brut Rosé
$48.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Ripe red fruits and a touch of tannin give this wine fruitiness and structure. A soft, red-currant flavor that comes from the relatively high dosage smooths out the acidity. -
2017 Boich Family Cellar ‘Ritchie Vineyard’ Chardonnay
$114.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ A full expression of ripe stone and citrus fruits burst forth on the nose, pear, sliced pineapple and kaffir lime aromas are reflected on the textured and creamy palate, while the mid-palate lifts with bright crushed river stone and citrus peel minerality, pulling the flavors along a finish that seems to linger over a minute after tasting. -
2017 Booker Vineyard ‘My Favorite Neighbor’
$70.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 96 ~ The 2017 My Favorite Neighbor is also terrific and I suspect would cost 2-3 times its going rate if it was from Napa Valley. It's also the more elegant, perfumed, red-fruited release compared to the darker fruited Harvey and Harriet release. Classy notes of black raspberries, spice box, white flowers, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf all emerge from the glass of this medium to full-bodied red, which offers a seamless texture, fine tannins, and a great finish. It will be better with 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for over a decade. -
2018 Odette Estate ‘Reserve’ Chardonnay
$86.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Notes of stone fruits, lemon zest, beeswax, apple blossoms and jasmine, framed by stunning freshness and a gorgeous texture. -
2016 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port
$92.00Add to cartWine Spectator 97 ~ A serious Port in the making, loaded for bear with dark currant paste, warmed fig sauce and blackberry reduction flavors pouring through. The brambly grip is deeply embedded and there are gorgeous ganache and licorice snap notes hanging on the finish. Best from 2035 through 2055 -
2016 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny ‘Derrière le Four’
$98.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 90 ~ Aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and plums mingling with nuances of mint, rose petal and dark chocolate in a complex bouquet introduce the 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière la Four, a medium to full-bodied wine that's fleshy, layered and unusually concentrated, retaining excellent balance despite its especially broad-shouldered profile this year. -
2019 Le Morette Bardolino Classico
$20.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Pale ruby color, harmonious and captivating aromas and lingering flavors deliver a wine that is as memorable as it is enjoyable. Well-balanced flavors are dry and spicy with a slightly bitter finish. -
2018 Vasse Felix ‘Filius’ Chardonnay
$24.00Add to cartDecanter 91 ~ Vasse Felix was the first vineyard and winery founded in Margaret River, in 1967. Heytesbury Chardonnay is its icon white, Premier the mid-tier, and its ‘son’ (Filius) is modestly priced, yet delivers a taste of that famous house style: buttery oak, apple crumble, sweet peach, vibrant acidity. -
2016 Brooks Willamette Valley Riesling
$23.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 92 ~ The most affordable and widely available Riesling in the Brooks lineup, this is an especially appealing cuvée in 2016. It's fragrant and inviting, with orange blossom, lemon zest and grapefruit components. That tangy fruit is layered and textural, with a phenolic snap. It's a blend sourced from a number of unspecified old vine sites. -
2018 Cave des Grands Crus Blancs Pouilly-Fuissé
$40.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Pale to deep gold. Delicate and complex nose of fresh apricot, almond and flowers. Powerful and fleshy, this wine reveals notes of lime tree, cinnamon, honey. Long-lasting flavours on the palate. -
2016 First Drop ‘Mother’s Ruin’ Cabernet Sauvignon
$21.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Black fruits with a round mid palate, an elegant core of tannins and a textured finish. -
2016 Mayu Pedro Ximenez
$13.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 90 ~ The 2016 Pedro Ximenez is very floral and fresh with great acidity, a white from very old vineyards in Elqui on decomposed granite soils. This is fresh, somehow austere and very tasty. Different, with its personality, and really affordable. 160,000 bottles produced. -
2017 Tamarack Cellars Cabernet Franc
$36.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 91 ~ Enchanting aromas of dried leaf, cherry, mocha, coffee and herbs dance in the glass. The palate brings brawny tannins and fresh dark-cherry flavors. This one would benefit from some time in the cellar. -
2018 Terlan ‘Tradition’ Pinot Bianco
$26.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 ~ Cantina Terlano specializes in Pinot Bianco (or Weissburgunder in German), and this entry-level value wine absolutely delivers the goods. The 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Tradition is tight and focused, with white peach and citrus aromas that segue to crushed stone and flint. That mineral signature is truly distinctive and beautiful. You can't exactly call this a lean-bodied wine, because you do get a taste of that extra heft and texture that always comes with Pinot Bianco of this level.James Suckling 91 ~ Fresh flowers and sliced apples with some smoke. Medium body, crisp acidity and a creamy finish. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune ‘Les Narbantons’ 1er Cru
$66.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ One sniff is all it takes to know it is premier cru Burgundy. Subtle and restrained from the purity of the limestone soils, it also burns bright with red berries and soft tannins. -
2016 Barnard Griffin Sauvignon Blanc
$13.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Opens with a beautiful expression of peach, lime and orange zest flavors, well supported by an elegant and racy structure. Zippy, cleansing and refreshing. Just a twinge of herb and pineapple notes join in on the slightly minerally finish. -
2017 Château Reynon Blanc
$25.00Add to cartWine Spectator 92 ~ Lovely tarragon, mâche and sweet pea notes stream through, set against a backdrop of lemon peel and pith to deliver a pure, bracing feel. Drink now through 2022.Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 ~ The 2017 Blanc has a super intense lime and lemon juice nose with hints of orange slices and coriander seed. The palate is medium-bodied with a great intensity of citrus fruits and wonderful depth, giving an electric backbone and long finish.Decanter 92 ~ Another wine from the stable of Denis Dubourdieu. Showing great floral intensity on the nose, it’s richer on the palate than some 2017s, with luscious, semi-tropical fruit characters and intense spiciness to finish. Plenty of depth and plushness here. -
2018 Domaine Pierre-Jean Villa ‘Jardin Suspendu’ Condrieu
$82.00Add to cartVinous 94 ~ Translucent yellow. Powerful aromas of fresh citrus and pit fruits and pungent flowers are lent vivacity by a smoky mineral element. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, offering intense Meyer lemon, pear and nectarine flavors that show sharp definition and floral lift. The long, seamless finish delivers impressive lift and vivacity and a resonating mineral flourish. -
2016 WillaKenzie Estate ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir
$62.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 ~ WillaKenzie's new estate-focused blend, the 2016 Estate Pinot Noir is pale ruby-purple in color with a lovely spicy nose of red licorice, dried rose petals and potpourri over a core of bright red fruits—raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb and red cherry with cinnamon stick accents. Light to medium-bodied, it features bright red fruits framed with oodles of savory/spicy notes in the mouth. It has firm, grainy tannins and wonderful juicy acidity, finishing long with spicy layers. This will show best after a couple of years in bottle. 3,000 cases produced. -
2018 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape
$116.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 95 ~ The grand vin is the 2018 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It's an elegant version of this cuvée, offering beautiful blueberry, raspberry, crushed violet, graphite, and crushed rock-like minerality. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and balanced, it’s polished and seamless, yet has plenty of tannins as well as richness, and is going to evolve beautifully. -
2018 Littorai ‘B.A. Thieriot Vineyard’ Chardonnay
$96.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 ~ The 2018 Chardonnay B.A. Thieriot Vineyard is shy at this stage, offering touches of gunflint, saline and white blossom with notes of hazelnut, toast and quince. The medium-bodied palate takes its time to open to bright, tangy flavor layers in a rounded, satiny frame and with a long finish. Give this the time it deserves in bottle, as it's currently very shy.Vinous 94 ~ The 2018 Chardonnay Thieriot Vineyard is by far the most expressive of the 2018 Littorai Chardonnays. Slate, crushed rocks, lemon confit, mint and a touch of new French oak add character. Airy and yet deep, with striking textural complexity, the Thieriot has so much going on. -
2015 Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella
$41.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Black garnet color. Aromas of stewed plums, spray roses, herb garden, and sweet tobacco with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a complex, long dark chocolate, cherry-coconut bar, candied tangerine peel, sundried tomato, green almond, and mocha finish with well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. -
2017 Château St. Cosme Châteauneuf-du-Pape
$70.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 91 ~ This 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a sunny, round, medium to full-bodied profile that’s already hard to resist. Lots of spice, kirsch, lavender, and garrigue notes, solid mid-palate depth, sweet tannins, and a great finish all make for an outstanding wine that’s capable of lasting for over a decade. -
2016 E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis ‘Mosconi’ Barolo
$157.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 96 ~ The E Pira-Chiara Boschis 2016 Barolo Mosconi is a little wider and richer compared to the Cannubi, with bigger fruit, more sweetness, spice, grilled oregano and a touch of crushed hazelnut. Despite the wide net of aromas offered on the bouquet, this wine shows a very sharp and focused approach with elegantly linear tannins and matching acidity. There is a lifted quality to both the nose and the mouthfeel that gives this wine beautiful momentum and length. Mosconi is one of the headline vineyards of Monforte d'Alba. This is a gorgeous set of new releases from one of the nicest and most determined women in Barolo, Chiara Boschis. I may have missed it last year, but I am happy to see that her name is now featured prominently on the front label. Like the woman who created them, these wines are full of energy, elegance and voice. -
2012 Château Léoville Poyferré Saint-Julien
$124.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 94 ~ One of the more stacked, ripe and rockingly textured wines from the left bank, the 2012 Léoville Poyferré sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings and violets. Rich, full-bodied, supple and forward, with low acidity and ripe tannin, give bottles 4-5 years (although it dishes out ample pleasure even today) and enjoy through 2037. -
2017 Melville ‘Estate’ Syrah
$47.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 ~ Medium ruby colored, the 2017 Syrah Estate has a nose of spiced blueberries, blackberries, tricolored peppercorn, burnt sage, garrigue and olive with smoked meats and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it offers restrained fruit in the mouth with tons of spicy accents, firm, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing lifted. -
2018 Meinklang Pinot Noir
$23.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ A bright, earthy wine with gorgeous mixed-berry fruit tastes that evoke blueberry, strawberry, and cherry with a touch of black licorice, all of it framed by a moderate tannic grip. -
2017 Mathias Parent Morey-Saint-Denis
$100.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This sports both red and dark berry fruit on the nose with a savory note coming through as well as a violet note. This features rich dark berry/blueberry fruit on the palate along with exotic spice notes and a flash of mineral. The long finish brings sappy, lush fruit back with mouthwatering freshness. -
2017 Domaine Johann Michel Cornas
$53.00Add to cartVinous 92 ~ Deep lurid ruby. Smoke-accented blackberry, cherry compote and violet qualities, along with a spicy nuance that builds in the glass. Shows very good depth as well as energy in the mouth, offering sweet blueberry, cherry and candied violet flavors that spread out slowly on the back half. Closes smooth and long, with repeating spice and floral qualities and gentle tannic grip. Made from de-stemmed fruit. -
2017 Occidental ‘Occidental Station Vineyard’ Pinot Noir
$105.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 96 ~ Coming from a more inland vineyard that’s one of the first to be harvested, the 2017 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard sports a deeper ruby/purple color as well as a tighter yet intense style carrying lots of almost blue fruits, violets, peppery spice, and spring flowers. Despite showing ample power and richness, it has a vivid spine of acidity, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish, all pointing to a solid decade or more of prime drinking. I think it will show every more complexity with a year or two of bottle age. -
2015 Domaine Maurice Ecard Savigny-lés-Beaune
$37.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Deep cherry colour with garnet highlights. Bouquet of small red and black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and flowers (violet). The body is ample and discreetly tannic and the fruit remains present. Roundness, volume, power and balance are all here, and in just the right proportions. -
2017 Mathias Parent Vosne-Romanée
$103.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The nose here features hints of floral notes that give way to bursting red fruits and Asian spices. The fruit and exotic spice notes stack up on the palate over an earthy/mineral note that gives both complexity and underlying tension. The texture turns spherical on the long, red fruit-driven finish that just goes on and on- such a full expression in a sophisticated package. -
2015 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino
$54.00Add to cartJames Suckling 94 ~ A bright and elegant Brunello that suggests sliced oranges, tulips and rose petals. Medium-to full-bodied and finely structured, drawing on silky layers of tannins and a vibrant edge of acidity. -
2015 La Rioja Alta ‘Viña Alberdi’ Reserva Rioja
$22.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Garnet–red color with an intense pink rim. High aromatic intensity with dominating ripe fruit: raspberries, red cherries, wild strawberries, and red currants set out against a balsamic background of vanilla, toasted caramel, biscuits, coffee, and sweet mints. In the mouth, you can enjoy good acidity, great freshness and balance, and mild, friendly tannins. Aromatic harmony persists through the aftertaste, with notes of red fruit jam, prunes, coffee, vanilla, and caramel. -
2016 Quinta de Chocapalha Arinto
$11.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 ~ The 2016 Arinto, sourced from 30-year-old vines, is the latest in a brand that is one of my favorite overachievers from Chocapalha. It comes in at 12.5 percent alcohol. This is another fine one. It has excellent acidity but a bit more depth than the 2015, if not quite its laser burst of acidity. All unoaked, it is pure and fresh, with the ability to age. (Tasting the 2008 next to it proved that, by the way.) The acidity of this grape is always a preservative and it ages well in many regions. If you like them lighter in style and crispy, this is a great warm-weather choice at a bargain price. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune ‘Les Serpentieres’ 1er Cru
$72.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Pretty bouquet of red cherries, plums and strawberries mingled with spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it's nicely concentrated, its ample chassis of satiny tannin largely concealed, concluding with fine persistence. -
2017 Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair ‘Les Grands Chaillots’ Bourgogne Rouge
$39.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This wine has a fresh bouquet of bright red fruit mixed with light violet scents; indeed, a little Chambolle-like in style. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry with blood orange fusing with red cherry/kirsch notes with good delineation on the finish. -
2018 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape
$126.00Add to cartWine Spectator 96 ~ A very refined, silky style, with subtle bitter cherry, damson plum and raspberry coulis notes racing through, flanked by garrigue and sandalwood notes and ending with graceful rooibos tea and mineral threads. This offers understated luxury. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. -
2017 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny ‘Les Charmes’ 1er Cru
$100.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Medium-bodied and fresh, the wine shows flavors of pithy cherry, pepper, wet earth, and dried flowers. -
2018 Regis Bouvier Gevrey-Chambertain
$80.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Bouvier’s early-release Pinot Noir is all about charm and comfort: classic Burgundian Pinot Noir aromas and flavors, and a deeply fruited and solid core. -
2017 Domaine Sylvaine & Alain Normand Mâcon-La Roche-Vineuse
$25.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Full bodied, fresh and intense with lovely minerality. Vinified without the influence of wood and slowly fermented with natural yeast. After fermentation, the young wine is aged on the lees in the tank, to achieve further fullness and increased aromatic complexity -

This adds a greater sense of focus and delineation that not only characterizes the bouquet but also applies to the way the wine hits the palate in a fuller and more determined way (compared to the slightly softer classic Brunello).

2013 Paolo Scavino ‘Rocche dell’Annunziata Riserva’ Barolo
$247.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 97 ~ The 2013 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva was released in January of 2019, and once again it looks to be a top prize. Licorice and flowers dominate the bouquet, and its beautiful red fruit is generous throughout. This wine has always been a beauty and consistently has had a high price tag to reflect that quality, going back to the first vintages of the 1990s. It has regularly sold for about $200 every year for the last decade. These vines are old, some of them very old (reaching the ripe age of 60 years old in 1990s, when many of them were replanted with carefully selected clones), producing an elegance and concentration that brings intensity and a high standard of aromas. This Barolo without a doubt shows its pedigree and a quality of noble perfumes that demonstrate characteristics of the greatest Nebbiolo vintages, all delivered with excellent concentration. The magic lingers on the palate, right up to the finish.James Suckling 95 ~ Aromas of white truffles and dried red cherries here with an earthy nuance that makes for a complex and compelling nose. The palate has a deep and dense shape and delivers a wide array of rich cherry and plum flavors. Some handy spice here, too. Drink or hold.Wine Enthusiast 94 ~ Violet, iris, exotic spice and menthol aromas lead the way on this fragrant red. The firmly structured palate boasts elegance and tension, delivering cranberry, pomegranate, licorice and white pepper set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. It’s still youthfully austere and will be even better after several more years of aging. Drink 2023–2033. -
2016 Clos Apalta
$160.00Add to cartWine Spectator 94 ~ Refined, with savory richness to the mineral-infused raspberry, red currant and herbal shadings. Creamy hints emerge midpalate, leading to a crisp, well-structured finish that lingers with slate and cast iron notes. Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 96 ~ The 2016 Clos Apalta is a blend of 64% Carménère (higher than in 2015), 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot hitting the scale at 15% alcohol with a pH of 3.7. The Carménère and Cabernet were planted ungrafted in 1920, and all the vineyards are organic and biodynamic (certified) and very low yielding. The hand-destemmed grapes fermented in oak vats and barriques (17%), and the wine went through malolactic and 26 months of aging in brand new French barriques. I've seen a great improvement in Carménère in Chile in the last few years, perhaps since they stopped wanting to grow it everywhere and focused on the places where it grows well, like the Apalta region. They have also learned to tame the green aromas and fierce tannins and alcohol and to produce much more harmonious reds, like this aromatic example that reveals spice, tobacco leaves, red fruit and floral notes without noticeable alcohol or excess ripeness.James Suckling 99 ~ This is really focused and refined with fantastic dried flowers and dark berries. Dried-lavender and mint undertones. Medium-to full-bodied with refined and polished tannins that are all together and so focused. Really integrated and melted together on the palate. Compact and very linear. Please give this two or three years to come completely together, but it’s already breathtaking. Better to drink after 2022.Vinous 93 ~ A few mature wines still survive from the period that Michel Rolland spent in Chile, including Clos Apalta (a blend of 64% Carménère, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot), demonstrating both the effectiveness and richness of the style. Taking an approach that suits the terroir of Apalta in Colchagua, this garnet-hued red offers ripe aromas of jam, camphor and bay leaf that guide the hints of blackberry and an elegant woodiness that encompasses notes of sandalwood and tobacco. A complex wine that reflects its oxidative aging process; after a while, black olives, musk and hazelnuts appear. It is rich on the palate with fine tannins and slightly intense woody notes. A long, mature, open and flavorsome finish. -

On the palate, it's medium bodied, concentrated and structured around a fine-grained chassis of tannin and juicy acids. Give this youthfully tight-knit Pinot Noir a few years in the cellar, then follow it for a decade.Wine Enthusiast 96 ~ Intense cranberry aromas meet with smoked pork roast, crushed slate and pinches of sage, thyme and white pepper on the nose of this luxury-level bottling. The palate is florally flush in touches of rose and tarragon, set against snappy red-plum fruit and racy acidity.Vinous 94 ~ The 2015 Pinot Noir LXXIII Bien Nacido Vineyards is gorgeous. Inky blue and purplish fruit, licorice, menthol, sage, violet and lavender infuse the 2015, a wine of extreme richness and unctuosity. It will be fascinating to see how the 2015 develops during its aging. The 2015 is dense and rich, with an almost Syrah-like element of savoriness on the finish. -

2014 Robert Sinskey Vineyards ‘POV’

The bright acidity, handy balance and tannins smoothly frame the finish.Wine Enthusiast 90 ~ This is a well-balanced, ripe wine in the producer's rich house style. A brighter, more mineral crispness and acidity also come through strongly in this bottling. The aftertaste brings together a mineral texture and full yellow and apple fruits.Decanter 91 ~ Pol is always a great Champagne to serve to your guests: a classy, balanced expression of the three grape varieties allowed by law.
