    SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2023
    Dark in profile, with plum and maraschino cherry notes pumping through. While the fruit flavors are mixed with a noticeable dose of toast, this has the energy for balance, revealing licorice and apple wood accents on the finish. Drink now through 2027.

  2. Charles Krug Family Reserve Generations

    2016 / 750 ml. | Item#53978

    RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Oct 2018
    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Proprietary Red Blend Family Reserve Generations is intensely scented of warm black and red currants, Black Forest cake and blueberry compote with nuances of chocolate mint, new leather, tilled soil and fallen leaves. Full-bodied with a taut frame of grainy tannins supporting the densely packed black fruit layers, it has a long lingering minty kick on the finish.
    SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2020
    Features a solid range blackberry paste, fig and plum notes, with cassis bush, bittersweet cocoa and licorice root accents. The solidly grippy finish leaves a hefty impression, but this will have fans. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2029. 2,400 cases made.

  6. Shafer Relentless

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#58463

    JS9797 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A young wine with superb depth and polish that shows great depth and brightness. Full and focused with blue fruit and long, fine tannins that are compact and energetic. Slate. Graphite. Sophisticated and curated. So beautiful to try now, but be patient and open after 2026.
    JD96+96–98 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 1/27/2021
    A blend of 94% Syrah and 6% Petite Sirah, the 2018 Relentless looks to be just about sensational, offering a dense purple color as well as rich, loaded notes of blackberries, currants, smoked meats, peppery spice, and violets. Reminding me of a great Cornas on steroids with its gamy, exotic character paired with beautiful richness, it has fabulous purity, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. This will undoubtedly be a great vintage for this cuvée, and my money is on it being one of the best yet. (Jeb Dunnuck)
    VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2022
    The 2018 Relentless is silky and polished. In 2018 the blend includes a relatively high percentage of Petit Syrah, but the wine does not taste like that at all. Ripe red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal, black pepper and sweet spice are laced into the super-expressive finish. This might be the most refined Relentless ever. (Antonio Galloni)
    SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2022
    A compelling blend that marries deep structure with richness and polish. Features accents of black cherry, grilled anise and smoked pepper, with refined tannins on the finish. Syrah and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2032. 3,300 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    RP92+92–94 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 27th Nov 2019
    Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Relentless is a barrel-sample blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Petite Sirah. It sings of crushed black cherries, mulberries and black plums plus cracked pepper, garrigue, lavender, Indian spices and licorice hints. The palate is full-bodied, firm, spicy and energetic with rounded tannins and a long, peppery finish. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

    California Champagne
    NV / 750 ml. | Item#33046

    SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 15, 2011
    Crisp and lively, showing aromas of lemon curd and white chocolate, with vibrant flavors of baked apple and spiced nuts. Drink now. 130,000 cases made.
    WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2013
    This distinctly fruity sparkler is infused with flavors of honey, green apple, peach and lemon. It’s clean and zesty, with a lingering finish. A nice sparkling wine to drink with just about anything.

  8. Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#59787

    SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2023
    Packs ripe, fleshy mango, peach and dried apricot flavors that show terrific focus and persistence, with details of pear, lemon zest, candied ginger and lemongrass. Shows impressive focus on the long finish, with a fresh thread of acidity that keeps the flavors lively and mouthwatering. Drink now. 10,780 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)
    WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023
    Floral and aromas take the lead in this full-bodied, creamy-textured wine that offers a soft mouth-feel and the roundness that comes from aging on the lees. Concentration in peaches melons and a good viscosity help the wine stand out. (Jim Gordon)

  9. Marietta Old Vine Red

    Lot Number 73 / 750 ml. | Item#58449

    RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022
    The NV OVR Lot 73 is composed mainly of Zinfandel with smaller portions of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Carignan and Barbera. Medium ruby, it offers intense red cherry, blood orange and apricot perfume with accents of rooibos tea leaves, red licorice, saline, lilac and loads of spicy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet with soft tannins, bursts of refreshing acidity and detailed amaro accents on the long finish. This is so easy to drink! (Erin Brooks)
    JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, October 5, 2022
    Lovely aromas of pitted red cherries, black cherries, moss and walnut. Medium-to full-bodied with gentle tannins. Nice intensity with lovely length. Juicy, with so much herbal complexity and black fruit. Predominantly zinfandel, with syrah, petite sirah, grenache, barbera, carignan. Drink now.
    SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2023
    Tastes like the gutsy field blends popularized by Italian immigrants back in the day, with potent wild berry, licorice and smoky cracked pepper flavors that finish with broad-shouldered tannins. Zinfandel. Drink now through 2029. 16,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)

  10. Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#58798

    WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/22
    William Foley grounded his wine empire in Sonoma County with the purchase of the Chalk Hill Estate in 2010. Michael Beaulac, who joined the team in 2021, produced this wine from other Foley family vineyards in Carneros, Chalk Hill and the Sonoma Coast. In it, he captures the chamomile character of chardonnay, showcasing the variety’s gentle fruit rather than its tropical ripeness. Scents of lemon cream and malt add to the wine’s richness.
    SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2022
    Presents pear drop, Fuji apple, ripe Bartlett pear and lemon blossom details that are elegant and restrained, but they weave in and out on a light, fresh frame that’s quite impressive. Gains a savory element, thanks to a touch of toasted sesame seed. Drink now. 98,000 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)

  12. Korbel Brut

    NV / 187 ml. | Item#66357

    WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 6/1/2017
    Earthy and doughy aromas lead to subtle, crisp apple and bright lemon flavors in this very good, go-to wine that has lasting fine-beaded bubbles. It tastes dry and refreshing and feels crisp and lively on the palate.
    SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2013
    Lively and appealing, offering citrus and raspberry fruit, with spice and cinnamon accents. Drink now. 850,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    WS8686 pts. - Wine & Spirits - April 1, 2014
    Korbel’s latest release (made with chenin and colombard in addition to pinot noir and chardonnay) has a toasty breadth balanced by a green apple tang. It’s round and easy to drink.

  13. Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#57871

    SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2022
    This light, fresh white is overtly citrusy, with lime zest, tangerine and makrut lime leaf flavors that are light on their feet but plenty intense, showing notes of lemon verbena and lemongrass on the finish. Drink now. 92,000 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)
    JS9090 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, August 8, 2022
    Sliced lemon and apple with some passion fruit and flint here. A rather generous and fruity sauvignon blanc with medium body, followed by a slightly mineral finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#57655

    SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2022
    Deeply structured and briary, with a mix of red and black fruit accented by licorice, dill and savory underbrush flavors. Finishes with medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Mataro. Drink now through 2030. 8,900 cases made.
    VN9191 pts. - Vinous - May 2022
    The 2020 Geyserville is quite soft in this vintage. Bright red-fleshed fruit, crushed flowers, cedar, spice and sweet pipe tobacco all grace this mid-weight edition of Geyserville. All things considered, the 2020 is nicely done.
