  1. Commanderie de la Bargemone Rosé

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#57425

    VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2022
    Bright, onion-skin color. Fresh and incisive on the nose, displaying red berry, citrus fruit and floral qualities and subtle mineral and spice flourishes. Juicy and sharply focused, putting forward lithe strawberry, blood orange and honeysuckle flavors that deepen through the back half. Finishes long and silky, with the red fruit and floral notes lingering. (Josh Raynolds)
    WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 8/1/2022
    Bright with ripe fruit, this is a juicy wine that exudes red berry flavors. It is lightly floral and attractively perfumed, which enhances the wine’s brightness. Drink now. Organic. (Roger Voss)

  2. Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Premier Cru Vau de Vey

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#59789

    WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2022
    Initially reductive notes of scorched earth and smoke in this wine dissipate with aeration, revealing pristine yellow apple and Mirabelle. Edged by a crush of oyster shells and salty mineral tones, this invigorating sip finishes on a whisper of white pepper. The wine is just starting to open now but should drink well through 2030. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)
    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2022
    The 2020 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with wild peach, light quince and flinty aromas, quite complex though I would not describe it as “intense”. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious, quite sappy towards the finish with decent length. Perhaps like the Butteaux, I would have liked a little more tension on the finish, but it should still give 8–10 years’ drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin)

  3. Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#44604

    WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2022
    Cabernet Sauvignon plus a small percentage of Merlot and Syrah adds up to a big “bang for the buck” experience. Black-cherry, dark-chocolate and orange aromas are flanked by wee bits of well-worn leather and roasted red bell pepper. The wine has grippy tannins and soft acidity to match up with gobs of blackcap-raspberry and blueberry flavors. Little touches of cedar and mocha powder add interest. (Michael Alberty)
    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/22
    Dark and woolly with black-cherry and tobacco flavors and modest wood notes, this is generous and complex for its price.

  4. Palazzo Brunello di Montalcino

    2016 / 750 ml. | Item#58320

    JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, November 11, 2020
    A full-bodied red with cherry, walnut and coffee undertones. It’s full and complete with beautiful intensity and a focused tannin structure. Very tight and intense. Perhaps the best ever. Better after 2025. (James Suckling)
    VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2020
    The darkly alluring and spicy 2016 Brunello di Montalcino lifts up with a display of white smoke giving way to black cherries, sage, a dusting of cinnamon, clove and hints of licorice. It’s medium in body and silky in texture, showing gorgeous inner sweetness, as balsamic-laced red berries and minerals cascade across the palate. The tannins are round yet persistent, balanced by vibrant acids which maintain freshness, finishing with excellent length and remnants of primary fruit. The 2016 Palazzo needs some cellaring to show its best, and it’s full of potential. (Eric Guido)
    WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2021
    A camphor aroma joins new leather, underbrush and pipe tobacco in this classically crafted Brunello. Youthfully austere and firmly structured, the palate delivers dried cherry, licorice and grilled porcini set against a tannic backbone. It’s still young but balanced by fresh acidity. Give it plenty of time to come around. Drink 2026–2036. (Kerin O’Keefe)
    JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/4/2021
    Notes of black cherry fruit, sassafras, dried thyme, and baked earth. Black cherry lozenge fills the midpalate, with persistent tannin and balanced acid. The 2016 Brunello has grounding and powerful structure, with more finesse and lift than the 2015, which will be a wine to cellar or drink over the next 15 years. 2023–2036 (Audrey Frick)
    WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 04/22
    This midweight wine unfolds with flavors of macerated cherries and blackberries laced with notes of tobacco leaf and dried thyme. The wine takes on notes of licorice and subtle spice with air, the flavors buoyed by lively acidity that keeps the fruit tones fresh and taut.

  5. Château Le Doyenné

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#56541

    WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2021
    With oenologue Michel Rolland’s team behind this estate, it is not surprising that this wine is rich while also structured and perfumed. Wood aging gives a final polish to a full, generous and ageworthy wine. Drink from 2023.
    VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2021
    The 2018 Le Doyenné is nicely done. Sweet floral notes and bright, red berry fruit give this mid-weight Côtes de Bordeaux a good deal of charm. Drink it over the next handful of years.
    JD8888 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/11/2021
    Lots of spiced red and black fruits, cedarwood, sappy flowers, and incense notes emerge from the 2018 Château Le Doyenne, It’s a nicely balanced, medium-bodied 2018 with plenty of sweet fruit, a solid sense of freshness and purity, ripe tannins, and a clean finish. It’s rock-solid and ideal for enjoying over the coming 5–6 years, if not longer. (Jeb Dunnuck)

  6. Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona

    2016 / 750 ml. | Item#58745

    VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2021
    The 2016 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona is deeply alluring yet still needs to unwind a bit more. It’s dark in nature yet floral, with ripe black cherries, balsam herbs, hints of cacao and smoke. This enters the palate soft and silky, energized by brilliant acidity, with candied ginger giving way to red currants and finally, a coating of fine tannin toward the close. Both savory and sweet, this tapers off with a herbal and floral thrust and a twang of salted licorice. Brava; what a beauty. The Riserva Bossona is 100% Sangiovese refined for two years in tonneaux, followed by another year in cask. (Eric Guido)
    JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, October 5, 2021
    What catches your attention immediately here is the freshness to the fruit. Cherry, plum and orange-peel provide brightness to the wine from the start. Then, it’s full-bodied with a well-placed balance of fruit and oak tannin that will guarantee a long life to this riserva. However, it’s delicious even now.
    WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2022
    Aromas of camphor, coffee bean and coconut mingle with whiffs of violet. Full-bodied and enveloping, the palate features dried cherry, licorice and tobacco framed in tightly knit, close-grained tannins. Drink 2024–2029. (Kerin O’Keefe)

  7. Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#35285

    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2022
    This wine is consistently one of the best values in the world, and the latest vintage does not disappoint. The aromas enchant, with notes of Nestea Lemon Iced Tea, peach, citrus, lime leaf and honeysuckle. Dry, straight-down-the fairway lime and other citrus flavors follow. The balance is impressive. (Sean P. Sullivan)
    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/22
    Ste. Michelle’s Dry Riesling is a benchmark for the category, lean with scents of lemon and a hint of peach, flavors that are juicy and light, with refreshing acidity for an afternoon sip.

  8. Masi Costasera Amarone Classico

    2017 / 750 ml. | Item#56262

    WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2022
    The wine is quite reserved on the nose to start, but with a decant it opens up nicely. The wine has aromas of red-cherry preserve, ripe plum, clove, anise and cinnamon. The palate is elegant with notes of dried leaves, dark chocolate and dark cherries. The tannins are already well integrated, giving the wine a magnificent texture. Expect to enjoy this for a while Best from 2025–2035. (Jeff Porter)
    JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, August 10, 2022
    A really fresh and well-balanced Amarone here, with tapenade, ripe but fresh blackberries, chili chocolate and some red berries, too. This is tight and juicy, with a medium-to full-bodied palate and a long, fruity finish. A modern, fresh expression of Amarone that shows immense drinkability, but still pretty serious. Not super-concentrated, but shows restraint and balance. Drink or hold.
    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2023
    The 2017 Amarone Classico Costasera is intense, with masses of dried black cherries and mocha complicated by spiced citrus rinds and a dusting of cocoa. This is a total pleasure on the palate, seamlessly silky and elegant with a spicy core of red fruits. The 2017 tapers off with tremendous length, staining the palate in youthful concentration yet remaining completely fresh. (Eric Guido)

  9. Domaine Eden Cabernet Sauvignon

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#60751

    VN9494 pts. - Vinous - May 2022
    The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine to focus on in this range in 2018. Dark and brooding, the 2018 is such a classic Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet. It offers up copious black fruit, dried herbs, chocolate, lavender and underbrush, all in a super-classic, mid-weight style that is hugely appealing. This might very well be the best value in artisan, high-end California Cabernet. (Antonio Galloni)
    WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2022
    Subtle aromas of dark cherry, toasted mahogany and roasted nut are very balanced on the nose of this bottling. The palate offers incense and potpourri flavors against a fresh red-fruit element. On the spicy, peppery finish, the leathery tannins continue their grip. (Matt Kettmann)

  10. Tenuta delle Terre Nere Feudo di Mezzo Etna Rosso

    Il Quadro delle Rose
    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#52815

    WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2020
    Graphite, thyme, brambly berry and violet aromas waft out of the glass along with Mediterranean scrub. Boasting youthful tension, the chiseled palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and coffee bean set against elegant, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced while a hint of saline lingers on the close. Drink through 2033.
    VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021
    The 2018 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo is dark and rich in the glass, wafting up with notes of cherry sauce, plums and Indian spice. It is deeply textural and velvety in feel, with ripe black instead of red notes, lifted by cooling mineral and minty herbs. There’s an almost balsamic twang to the finish, as this leaves the palate drenched in primary fruit and grippy tannins. The Feudo di Mezzo is a bit of a bruiser in 2018, yet a few years of cellaring should help bring it into focus.

  11. Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon

    2019 / 750 ml. | Item#59893

    VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2023
    The 2019 Caberret Sauvignon wafts up with a pretty bouquet, showing rosy florals, hints of sage and crushed raspberries. It soothes the senses with the silkiest textures as a potent wave of red fruit washes across the palate, leaving a staining of primary concentration. An herbal flourish lasts through the finish as this tapers off lightly structured and with a peppery tinge. There’s a lot of balanced pleasure to be found within this Washington State Cabernet. Enjoy it over the coming three to five years. (Eric Guido)
    JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, April 12, 2023
    This has a youthful and attractive nose of blackcurrants, mulberries, olives and anise. It’s full-bodied and textured, with firm yet ripe tannins and chewy black fruit. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 5% malbec with extended maceration for about 9 months on skins. Drink now or hold.
    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2022
    The wine’s sweet aromas of cherry-flavored Dum-Dums, the mini-lollipop that rules Halloween, rhubarb jam and plumeria are a nice preview of the flavors to come. The creamy mouthfeel delivers all the ripe black cherries your palate can handle, along with earthy flavors of chopped raw walnuts and Dutch-process cocoa powder. (Michael Alberty)

  12. Vine Hill Ranch VHR Cabernet Sauvignon

    2019 / 750 ml. | Item#59174

    VN98+98+ pts. - Vinous - Mar 2022
    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon tastes like a barrel sample, such is its purity of fruit and lushness! It is perhaps the most opulent wine ever made here and therefore likely to require a number of years before it is even close to being ready to drink. Primary fruit and plush contours are front and center. The 2019 needs time to come together, and yet its sheer beauty is impossible to miss. The 2019 is a real head-turner, that much is clear. (Antonio Galloni)
    WE9898 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2022
    This red is beautifully rich and supple in red fruit, polished tannin and a depth of layered complexity. It is broad and generous, with complexity to age and fresh, lasting acidity that illuminates and energizes the palate. Enjoy from 2029–2039. (Virginie Boone)
    JS9898 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, October 5, 2022
    Flowers and brambleberries on the nose, together with lavender and sandalwood. Very perfumed. Full-bodied, yet very tight and polished, with gentle, graceful sensibility that shows through clearly and subtly. The tannins are soft and focused, providing finesse and a fine texture that runs the length of the wine. Very attractive now, but even better in 2025.

  13. Ama Chianti Classico

    WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2022
    Blue flower, sandalwood, cassis and spice shape the nose on this lovely red. All about finesse and youthful tension, the savory, elegantly structured palate features juicy Morello cherry, coffee bean and star anise framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and focused. Drink through 2027. (Kerin O’Keefe)
    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, September 6, 2022
    A fresh and composed red with blackcurrant and blueberry aromas with minerals and citrus underneath. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a racy, long finish. Drink or hold.
    VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2022
    The 2020 Chianti Classico Ama is a pretty, understated wine that shows the vivid side of Sangiovese in its bright, red-fleshed fruit. Medium bodied and vibrant, with brisk acids and lifted aromatics, the 2020 is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 10–15 years. Ama is the estate’s young-vines Chianti Classico. I loved it.

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#56041

    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 22, 2021
    A juicy, savory red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and chewy, yet polished. Needs time to come together. Try after 2024.
    WE91+91–93 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2019
    This smoothly textured, densely structured wine is very promising. Its ripe blackberry fruits are full of juicy acidity that balances the fruitiness against the judicious wood aging. It should develop well.
    VN88+88–90 pts. - Vinous - Apr 2019
    The 2018 Montlabert is a plump, fruity Saint-Émilion to drink over the near and medium-term. Although not especially complex, the 2018 is tasty and easy to enjoy. Sweet floral and spice notes add perfume to this alluring Saint-Émilion. The tannins could use more polish, though. Tasted two times.

    Aromas of sliced apples, lemon pith, crushed sage, raw almonds and stones. Medium-bodied, creamy and mild with crisp acidity and a crunchy stone-fruit texture. Flavorful finish. Drink now. (James Suckling)
    WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2022
    This hedonistic treat is a well-executed take on the buttery-creamy style of Chardonnay. The wine features coconut and warm apple-pie aromas, with a splash of rose water on the nose. Flavors such as lemon butter, spicy cinnamon and caramel apple fill every nook and cranny of the olfactory system. (Michael Alberty)
