$123.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 ~ “The 2009 Brut Vintage blends 60 percent Pinot Noir and 40 percent Chardonnay from 20 grand and premier cru villages in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. Fermented in stainless steel with each variety and each village kept separate and malolactic completed, the 2009 aged eight years in the cellars before being hand-riddled and disgorged.

$135.00Add to cartJames Suckling 95 ~ A very fine-textured Champagne with lovely density and finesse. The bubbles roll off the palate. Full body. Extremely creamy and flavorful. Shows wonderful finesse and a lovely, chalky, lemon-curd and brioche aftertaste. -
2019 Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis
$30.00Add to cartJames Suckling 92 ~ Dried peach skin with lemon and crushed stone or cement on the nose. It’s full-to medium-bodied. Lovely, soft texture and richness and a fresh finish with lots of dried fruit. A little richer than usual. -
2019 Domaine Pichot ‘Le Peu de la Moriette’ Vouvray
$22.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ A fresh, floral Chenin Blanc with crisp acidity, and rich concentration. This Vouvray is slightly off dry, pure and intense. -
2014 Grasso Fratelli Barbera d’Alba
$18.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The deep violet tinged ruby red of this Barbera d’Alba is reflected in the sun ripened plum and black cherry nose, layered with vanilla and baking spice. The palate follows suit with juicy red fruit of raspberry and red cherry, alongside bright acidity and soft, smooth tannins. -
2019 Domaine du Bagnol Cassis Blanc
$40.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The nose combines fine saline notes, white flowers, eucalyptus and lemon verbena. An aromatic palette that is found in the mouth with a tension carried by balanced acidity and a mineral finish. -
2019 Yves Cuilleron ‘Sybel’ Syrah Rosé
$20.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Notes of raspberries, strawberries and cherries along with a lime-y citrus and, naturally, cracked black pepper. It's very dry and easy to like, especially on the finish. -
2018 Campinuovi Montecucco Rosso
$23.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Intense on the nose, with notes of cherry and dark fruit, but softens slightly on the palate. Tannins are well structured and balanced, and would pair well with a variety of foods. -
2018 Three Henrys Chardonnay
$16.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Reminiscent of exotic fruits, green apple and lime zest, the wine is crisp with a delicate balance between fruits and minerality. -

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. -
2019 La Boutanche/Broc Cellars Red Blend (1L)
$31.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Zinfandel, Carignan, and Valdiguie - Selection Massale's 'La Boutanche' series is an ongoing series of collaborations with leading winemakers working in the 'natural' mode -- fermentation with native yeasts, little to no sulphur -- to distribute tasty and affordable wines for immediate consumption.

2000 Bodegas Urbina ‘Seleccion’ Rioja
$28.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Purple-red color with ruby tones. Aromas of good intensity where fruits of various types stand out with good maturity and expressiveness, flowers, sweet spices, toasted touches and scrubland. In the mouth it is flavorful, the palate with good balance and quite round, also shows liveliness and character, the fresh and soft tannins, the aftertaste quite well with almost all the aromas of the nose. Long aftertaste, with good persistence. -
2016 Domaine Rois Mages Rully ‘Les Cailloux’
$42.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Aromas of red fruits, red flowers, strawberries and blackberry jam. The tannins are silky while the oak is well integrated. This wine is fresh with a lot of fruit. -
2018 Day Wines ‘Queen D’
$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. -
2018 Lamadrid ‘Single Vineyard’ Malbec
$17.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Deep ruby red color. Spicy aromas combined with fresh plums and cherries. In the mouth, sweet velvety tannins are well balanced with the acidity. -
2018 LIOCO Chardonnay
$24.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The fruit was hand-harvested, destemmed, and the berries broken before being pressed (the majority to stainless steel tanks, and the balance to large neutral oak casks). Fermented on the fine lees, with no battonage for 8 months. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally and finished completely. Aromas of Bartlett pear, bay laurel, seashell. Flavor of lemon drops, tomato leaf, fennel pollen. -
2018 Via Revolucionaria ‘Hulk’ Semillon
$19.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 90 ~ A bright gold color and waxy aromas of apricot and citrus peel form the nose of this Sémillon from Matías Michelini that spent three months in concrete eggs. It shows plumpness on the palate, with flavors of yellow apple and peach backed by a mild bitterness. -
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. -
2018 Domaine de la Prébende Beaujolais
$23.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The wine shows off a bright wildberry nose and possesses classic Beaujolais finesse with profound minerality. -
2016 Rutherford Hill Merlot

2017 Domaine Daniel Rion & Fils Vosne-Romanée
$69.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Scents of cherry and roses, as it ages this wine becomes complex, with a nose of undergrowth, dead leaves and mushrooms. Its tannins are discreet and unctuous, always elegant. -
2018 Jean-Philippe Fichet Auxey-Duresses
$60.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ There is a whiff of petrol character to the green apple, lemongrass and discreet floral scents. The sleek, intense and stony medium weight flavors that possess an attractive texture and notably better complexity on the sneaky long finish. This is potentially excellent for its level. -
2016 Paolo Scavino Barolo ‘Bric dël Fiasc’
$114.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 98 ~ Drawing its fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Bric dël Fiasc shows dimension, depth, precision and power. 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. Light touches of fennel pollen, bay leaf and dried sage start the sip, followed by more roasted meat and rustic red fruits. It packs great energy and tremendous depth of flavors in a lightweight frame. -
2016 Domaine des Coutures ‘La Sélection’ Saumur Champigny
$23.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Elegant nose of raspberry and cherry. Silky tannin and a good length. -
2019 Redolent Wine ‘Brother From Another Mother’

Medium to light body with aromas and flavors abound of blackberry, cranberry, black currant, rhubarb, black cherry, black raspberry, lavender, violets, dried rose petals, earthy beetroot, leather, and tar. -
NV Maison de Grand Esprit ‘L’être Magique’ Crémant de Bourgogne
$20.00Add to cartJames Suckling 90 ~ A fresh and bright sparkling wine with apple and cream aromas and flavors. Hints of yogurt. Full body, pretty bubbles and a flavorful finish. Blend of 60 percent chardonnay, 20 percent pinot noir and 20 percent gamay. A fun and lively sparkling wine. Bottled fermented and 12 months on lees. Drink now. -
2019 Les Deux Moulins Pinot Noir
$15.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Done entirely in stainless steel, the wine has pretty scents of strawberry preserves and crushed cherries and has flavorful fruit on the palate backed by impressive minerality and a lingering finish. Crushable! -
2015 Château Cap l’Ousteau Haut-Médoc
$26.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The nose is deep with notes of cherry, black currant and mocha. The oak on the palate is present but does not overwhelm, with subtle notes of vanilla the Cab adds lifting acidity, tempered by the soft, ripe notes of Merlot. -
2019 Tendu Cortese
$22.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Opens with aromas of light spice with minerals and orange peel. The palate is light-bodied with medium acidity and nice texture that are lush with stone fruits and citrus. -
2018 The Eyrie Vineyards Chasselas Doré
$33.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Chasselas Doré is an old grape variety born in the Jura and Alps mountain ranges of Switzerland. Fresh, tropical and savory, it is light on its feet while having a surprising amount of structure and body. This wine is made from two rows of organically grown, ungrafted vines. The attentive vineyard practices of Eyrie demand focus on rigorous training of the vines, minimal interference with the ecosystem, and on picking at the optimal time. Insecticides, herbicides, and systemic chemicals are never used in the vineyards. In the winery, they refrain from unnecessarily manipulating the wines during their fermentation and maturation. The Eyrie Chasselas ages 6 month on lees. In spite of full natural malolactic fermentation the wine is crisp. -
2016 Le Masse di Lamole Chianti Classico
$35.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ On the nose, perfumed aromas of tart cherry fruit, purple flowers and fresh earth waft out of the glass. On the palate, this is racy and taut with well-defined tannins and bursting with mouth-watering acidity. Complex mineral flavors intertwine with piquant red fruits leading into a lengthy and clean finish. -
2019 Weingut Berger Grüner Veltliner
$17.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Crisp and mineral-focused wine with hints of citrus, lemon peel, lychee, and a touch of spiciness that may remind you of white pepper, refreshingly crisp body. -
2017 Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
$34.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 93 ~ This ageworthy Cabernet is extremely deep and concentrated, but holding everything rather tightly at this young age. Aromas of tamarind and tobacco lead to dense flavors of blueberry, black cherry and dark chocolate that expand on the palate beautifully. It was aged in Hungarian barrels, 45 percent new. -
2018 DeSante ‘l’Atelier’
$24.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Organic grapes harvested from the cooler, riverside area of Yountville gives L'Atelier vivacious aromas of citrius blossoom, flint and fresh russet apples. The palate is balanced for summer fare with notes of key lime and fresh cut apple. -
2017 Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Folatières’
$127.00Add to cartVinous 94 ~ The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru, Alain Chavy’s favourite amongst his Premier Cru Puligny, has a taut, stony bouquet that shows a little more vivacity than the other Premier Crus at the moment. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, fine nervosité with a precise finish that is clearly a step above its "siblings". Excellent and I concur with its creator - this is one of the domaine's standouts. -
2017 Continuum
$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. -
2015 Realm Cellars ‘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 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru ‘Grand Maupertuis’
$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 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Corton Grand Cru ‘Le Rognet et Corton’
$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 Pommard 1er Cru ‘Les Epenots’
$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. -
2017 Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Pucelles’
$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. -
2017 Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée ‘Aux Réas’
$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 E. Pira & Figli Barolo ‘Cannubi’
$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 Vineyard Georges III’ 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’ Rosé
$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. -
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 Méo-Camuzet Nuit-Saint-Georges ‘Aux Murgers’
$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
$27.00Add 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. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay ‘Vieilles Vignes’
$88.00Add 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
$68.00Add 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. -
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. -
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 ‘Dèrriere 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. -
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. -
2018 Cave des Grand Crus Blancs Pouilly-Fuisse
$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. -
2018 Cantina Terlano-Kellerei 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. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Narbantons’
$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. -
2018 Pierre Jean Villa Condrieu ‘Jardin Suspendu’
$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. -
2018 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. -
2015 Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
$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 Saint 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 Barolo ‘Mosconi’
$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 Leoville 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 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 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. -
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.

2016 Quinta de Chocapalha Arinto Branco
$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. -

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). Instead, this single-vineyard Brunello shows an upright and direct approach with soft salinity on the close followed by forest fruit, spice and medicinal herb. The mouthfeel makes a big impact thanks to its streamlined and polished texture. -

2013 Paolo Scavino ‘Rocche dell’Annunziata’ Barolo Riserva
$215.00Add 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.

The magic lingers on the palate, right up to the finish. -

The bouquet of this Pinot Noir/Chardonnay blend is as intense as it is delicate and vinous, displaying red and yellow-fleshed fruit intertwined with floral, chalky and citrus notes as well as a noble sur lie character. Round, lush and delicate on the palate, this is a highly elegant, charming, beautifully balanced rosé with great finesse and amazingly fine grip on the long yet pure, tensioned, well-structured and stimulatingly salty finish.
