A warm, resonant bouquet redolent of espresso, mocha, French Oak, sweet herbs and tobacco leads to an expressive core of fruit in this rich, sumptuous wine. 95 points.

A warm, resonant bouquet redolent of espresso, mocha, French Oak, sweet herbs and tobacco leads to an expressive core of fruit in this rich, sumptuous wine. 95 points.

Two lush syrahs from two of Napa Valley's best producers.

2016 Myriad "Halcon Vineyard" Yorkville Highlands Syrah - The 2016 Syrah Halcon Vineyard is one of the most distinctive wines in the Myriad range. Beautifully chiseled and vibrant, the 2016 captures all of the pedigree and nuance of this Yorkville Highlands site. A rush of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, black pepper and spice notes run through this deeply expressive, translucent Syrah from Myriad and proprietor Mike Smith. The 50% whole clusters are very nicely integrated.

2015 Petite Sirah, The Terraces at Quarry Vineyards - a striking deep ruby hue with intense aromas of blackberry, vanilla, mocha, and black mission fig. The palate features black fruits, chocolate, espresso and a touch of baking spice. This full-bodied wine is incredibly balanced with soft, mouth coating tannin, bright acidity and a luxurious finish that lingers. Drink now or cellar for 10+ years.

The award-winning 2014 Joseph Phelps "Insignia" has turned out beautifully. Finely sculpted, nuanced and classic in structure, the 2014 is built on a core of energy and brightness. There is a level of purity and delineation in the flavors that is remarkable. Bright red cherry, lavender, rose petal and graphite add to the wine's sculpted personality. A closing flourish of bright, floral notes adds the final shades of nuance.

Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon (2014)

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific introduction to the vintage at Montelena. Brisk and energetic, the 2014 offers a good bit of nuance and aromatic complexity. The flavors are dark and intense, but the 2014 is very much medium in body, as these wines are. There is no shortage of muscle and power, especially at this level. Hints of iron, smoke, leather and herbs inform the muscular, virile finish.

Kongsgaard "The Judge" Chardonnay (2017)

A rare chance to bid on this 100-point wine from Napa Valley. The 2017 Chardonnay The Judge prances out of the glass with flamboyant notes of baked pineapple, green mango, apricot preserves and nutmeg with underlying nuances of sea spray, lime blossoms, yuzu, almond croissant and crushed rocks plus a waft of beeswax. Full-bodied, the palate is charged with amazing energy, featuring loads of tightly knit layers and a scintillating backbone of freshness, finishing with decadent creaminess and with that lingering 'The Judge' mineral signature coming through at the very tail end.

An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of Starfruit,
Mango and Ceanothus. Complemented by Orange zest and a slight
nuttiness in the focused mid-palate and the refreshing cool climate
acidity of our estate vineyard.

The 2018 Chardonnay is a gorgeous, luscious Chardonnay loaded with character. Plush fruit and soft contours bring out all of the natural richness of various Wente Clone Chardonnay selections. Almond paste, dried flowers, butter, chamomile, apricot and tropical fruit all build into a striking crescendo of flavors and textures. This is an especially oily, weighty style of Napa Valley Chardonnay. As always, the Napa Valley Chardonnay is a blend of fruit from Hudson and Hyde.

Kistler Russian River Pinot Noir (2018)

The 2018 comes from a cooler Russian River site and offers a complex bouquet of red currants, smoked earth, ground pepper, and exotic floral and rose hip notes. Rich, medium-bodied, and seamless on the palate, its incredibly classy as well as perfectly balanced.

O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon (2017)

Powerful, dense wine endowed with tremendous concentration. Even so, the Howell Mountain tannins are nicely tamed. Ripe black cherry, black plum, espresso, spice, leather, graphite and dried flowers.

Kent's favorite Pinot! Cranberry jam meets a bold and saucy character in this Sonoma Coast Pinot. Not to be missed!

Kistler Chardonnay, Carneros (2018)

A full-bodied and elegant chardonnay from the Carneros region that flirts with perfection.

A savory classic from the Dordogne region that will make you a daily Bordeaux drinker.

This Kistler-made Pinot Noir from the Bodega Highlands is nervy with a long finish and hints of Alpine strawberries.

The ever-changing nose of the Pinot Noir exhibits fresh strawberry, geranium, Montmorency cherry; and subtle baking spices. The fine tannins and minerality are enhanced by our estate vineyard's characteristic cool climate acidity.

Kistler Chardonnay, Russian River Valley (2018)

This classic chardonnay displays toasty oak and a clean balance.

Enticing aromas of fresh blueberries, blackberries, and lilacs envelop the senses, while delicate notes of baking spice and vanilla integrate seamlessly. The mouth feel is layered with acidity and ripe blue fruit. Powerful and seamless.

Your new favorite white wine.

Massican Sauvignon Blanc (2019)
Magnum
Inspired by the Sauvignon wines of northern Italy, our Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to the tart and delicious every day wine workhorse of the region of Friuli.

Massican "Annia" White Wine (2019)
Magnum

Massican's flagship white wine blend sourced from small vineyards around the Napa Valley. The three grape varietals, Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Chardonnay, are harvested separately and fermented independently in French Oak and stainless steel tanks until blending six weeks before bottling. The wine is fresh and subtle and fulfills the promise set forth years ago to bottle memorable white wines, unique amongst the whites of California.

Apple and pear characters are balanced by fresh acidity, with a clean finish.

Stags' Leap Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

A bounty of wild bramble berry fruits alongside lifted floral notes of lavender and violet.

Sassicaia Bolgheri (2018)

This wine exhibits everything that you'd want from Sassicaia - and more - because of its winning combination of winemaking savoir-faire, world-class terroir, old vine fruit, and an outstanding vintage. It is unarguably stunning.
Love the aromas to this young red with blackcurrants, sage, cinnamon, and five-spice character. Changes all the time. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with a ripe and rich tannin backbone that gives form and beauty to the ripe and beautiful fruit. Tight and very long. Approachable now but will reward more in five to six years. A classic Sassicaia.

If you're a fan of the effortlessly drinkable and smooth style that Alexander Valley has come to be known for, this Cabernet is going to please you in spades. It's in a soft, subtle Left-Bank style, with notes of fresh herbs, blackcurrant syrup, black cherry, violet, and tobacco.

98-100 (Robert Parker)
A killer nose of blue fruits, white and black pepper, lots of spice, white flowers, and a touch of minerality gives way to a full-bodied, beautifully textured 2018 with good acidity, plenty of underlying tannins, and the purity of fruit and elegance that makes 2018 such a compelling vintage.

Kikusui "Junmai Ginjo" Japanese Sake

Decorated rice sake "Junmai Ginjo" that pairs with a variety of cuisines. Extremely clean and crisp.

100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck, 97+ Points Robert Parker
2017 Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Estate Syrah: The 2017 Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard is the wine of the vintage, and Syrah simply doesn't get any better. Dense purple-hued, with an incredible bouquet of sandalwood, dried flowers, incense, saddle leather, and assorted red and blue fruits, it hits the palate with flawless balance, a deep, full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel, and a heavenly finish. It shows a more up-front, exuberant, sexy style, yet there's still ample underlying structure and depth. Drink it over the coming 15-20 years.

Surpassingly fresh, vivid aromas of white flowers, ripe melon and citrus fruit introduce rich, zesty flavors of pink grapefruit, melon and guava, leading to a long, crisp finish buoyed by bright acidity and refreshing citrus and mineral tones. Irresistible upon release.

Fontanella Cabernet Sauvignon (2015)

Earthy, powerful, rich and full bodied from Napa.

Rated at 95 points, an elegant perfume of mixed berries, baking spice, dried lavender and thyme open onto a full palate layered with expansive mixed berry, black tea, toasted oak and spice flavors. Focused and fresh, fine grained tannins support the wine throughout, while the finish is silky, long and lifted.

Hall "Jack's Masterpiece" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

Rated 95 points
On the nose one gets aromas of ripe blackberry, pepper, wet stone and toasty oak. The palate is dark and brooding with lush flavors of dark berry and five-spice. Dense chewy tannins are fully integrated and deliver a long and fruity finish.

Hall "Eighteen Seventy-Three" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

Rated 93 points
Dark garnet in color, the wine opens with powerful aromas of ripe blackberry, wet stone, and intense, yet integrated oak. The palate is loaded with Sacrashe driven tannin and concentrated blackberry notes. Spicy oak notes of nutmeg, cocoa nib, and clove add another layer of complexity. The finish is lengthy and full of dark, balanced, and dense tannin.

Hall "Ellie's" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

Dark purple with ruby highlights, this wine opens with aromas of blackberry, olive tapenade, and freshly turned earth. The palate is dense and opulent with well-knit tannins that drive its unctuous texture. Blackberry, cassis, violet and olive dominate the flavor profile. The finish is long and smooth, with supple tannin and fresh acidity.

Hall "Craig's" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

Opaque ruby-purple color. The nose opens with deep aromas of black cassis and blackberry compote interwoven with sweet tobacco, supple leather and licorice. The full-bodied palate is polished and layered with ripe fruit and well-knit tannin. This is an exceptionally balanced, and unhesitatingly drinkable wine.

Hall "Terra Secca" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

The 2018 Terra Secca opens with inviting aromas of ripe black plum, freshly turned earth and dried herbs. Densely structured and focused on the palate with flavors of mocha-laced blackberry, savory undertones, and crushed gravel. The dynamic and powerful mid-palate has a slight tension to it that is softened by the lush and lengthy finish. This wine will age gracefully for several years to come.....

Hall "Coeur" Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

Deep purple in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon has a powerful nose of ripe, brambly fruit balanced with sweet oak. The wine has refreshing acidity and layers of dark blackberry, black plum and cherry. The finish is long and lively with ripe tannins.

Kosta Browne Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir Trio, Sonoma Coast (2010)

Broad shouldered, very ripe, wit great intensity and concentration to the baked berry notes, mixing blueberry, wild berry, plum and raspberry. Ends with fresh earth, wilted rose and subtle berry flavors. 94 points.

Kosta Browne Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir Trio, Sonoma Coast (2010)

Broad shouldered, very ripe, wit great intensity and concentration to the baked berry notes, mixing blueberry, wild berry, plum and raspberry. Ends with fresh earth, wilted rose and subtle berry flavors. 94 points.

Drouhin Corton Pinot Noir, Les Bressandes Burgundy (2010)

Good structure and velvety texture without any harshness. Aromas of candied fruit, spice and musk are evident as the wine ages. Elegant, full and complex; persistent on the pallette with ample character. 93 points.

Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (2018)

Exuberant and expressive with a bounty of wild bramble berry fruits alongside lifted floral notes of lavender and violet. 95 points.

Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County (2017)

Cherry, raspberry and dried herb aromas laced with hints of vanilla and tobacco. 92 points.

Sine Qua Non Ziehharmonika Syrah (2018)

Rich, deep and potent to the core, the 2018 captures a striking mix of lush fruit as well as the energy of the year. All the elements simply fall into place in a magical Syrah that will thrill Sine Qua Non lovers. 99 points.

Sine Qua Non Profuga Grenache (2018)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine does bedazzling pirouettes out of the glass with the most gorgeous rose oil, kirsch, licorice and fragrant earth scents, leading into a powerful core of black raspberries, redcurrant jelly and powdered cinnamon plus a waft of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is incredibly fresh, elegant and polished, yet make no mistake-there is a lot of power and energy on the mid-palate. This is all beautifully framed by tightly knit, very finely grained tannins, and the finish holds this provocative, lingering siren's note, delivering exotic spices and rose-laced accents. 98 points.

Buoncristiani O.P.C. Proprietary Red, Napa Valley (2017), 6 Bottles

The 2017 Red Blend O.P.C. has a complex, nuanced style in its mulled plums, black tea, peppery herbs, and orange blossom aroma and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, rich and beautifully textured on the palate, with ripe, mouth-coating tannins. 93 points.

Myriad Beckstoffer Dr. Crane (2011)

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is super-impressive. Pliant and generous on the palate, the 2011 offers notable depth, no hard edges and fabulous purity of fruit, all extremely rare at this level in 2011, a cold, late-ripening vintage. Then again, Dr. Crane, a valley site in St. Helena, is one of Napa Valley's top vineyards. Sweet red plum, rose petal, spice and mint wrap around the open-knit finish.

Myriad Beckstoffer Dr. Crane (2012)

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is stunning, and certainly not far off the smaller production Elysian release, although it has a more open, sexy, ready to go style. Loads of mulled blackcurrants, dried violets, chocolate, tobacco, and cedar pencil notes give way to an incredibly sexy, full-bodied 2012 that has loads of fruit, no hard edges, and the weightless, elegant style that sets the 2012 vintage apart. It's a stunning wine to drink over the coming 15-20 years.

Turley Zinfandel, Howell Mountain, Napa (2018)

Densely full bodied, with spice and and dark plums, graphite, roasted red meats and dusty earth. 91 points.

Justin Red Blend (51% Cab Fanc, 49% Merlot), Paso Robles (2019)

Aromatic with black and red cherry and black currant fruit with oak, vanilla, cinnamon and red licorice. 90 points.

Shafer Vineyards "One Point Five" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (2018)

This is a muscular wine with a velvety backdrop -- classic for the vintage and appellation. Silky tannins gilde across a foundation of turned earth, crushed rock, clove and tobacco. The wine is hugely structured and grand. 97 points.

Pauillac de Chateau Latour Bordeaux Blend (2016)

Lots of mineral, crushed stone, iodine and graphite with blackcurrants and blackberries that follow through to a medium body with ultra fine tannins that are ever so polished and give length and energy to the wine. 94 points.

Pali Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir, 1.5 Liter Magnum, Santa Rita Hills (2017)

Aromas of cola, clove, nutmeg, cedar and black plum show on the nose of this reserve bottling, which included six barrels of 100% new French oak. Rich and deep flavors of black plum and black raspberry meet with white pepper and strong acidity on the palate. 93 points.

Pali 2017 Pinot Noir Fiddlesticks Vineyard, 1.5 Liter Magnum, Santa Rita Hills (2017)

Red cherry compote, earthy herbs, and a hint of oak show on the nose of this bottling. The medium-bodied palate offers delicious cherry, raspberry-sorbet, and red-currant jam flavors, with a touch of wild herbs on a very soft mouthfeel. 92 points.

Leading off the Chardonnays from Hobbs, the 2017 Chardonnay Russian River Valley comes from multiple sites and spent ten months in 55% new French oak. Its medium gold color is followed by a rich, upfront bouquet of Caramelized pineapple, tangerine, honeysuckle, spice, and a touch of toasted nuts. It's rich, concentrated, has beautiful mid-palate heft, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a rocking wine as well as a great introduction into the wines of this great winemaker.

Displaying a deep crimson hue, the 2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir bounds from the glass with plush aromatics of Morello cherry, mulberry, baking spice, and red clay. The fine, alluring texture gives way to focused flavors of boysenberry, bergamot, and iron which continue to evolve throughout the lengthy finish. Delightful with wild mushroom tartine, roast quail, or rosemary-rubbed leg of lamb.

2015 Cordella Sangiovese Tuscany | Brunello di Montalcino

This has an unwonted, intensely floral note of eucalyptus and tee tree oil, which makes it immediately recognizable against other 2015 Brunellos. Besides that, there are ripe rose stems and dried lavender. It has a racy core of boisterous berries that dive inwards and outwards of firm, structured tannins. The juxtaposition of steely resolve and intense florals are quite remarkable. Very classy. Drink in 2025. Rating 97

Domaine Tempier is one of the most significant producers in the Bandol appellation of Provence, in southern France. It is best-known for its structured red wines made from Mourvèdre, but like most producers in the region it also produces rosé. Rating: 91

Savory and classic from the Gap's Crown Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. Rating: 92

2015 Dragonette Cellars Pinot Noir

Nice bouquet of ripe fruit and savory notes. Intense red berry flavors. From the Radian Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills. Rating: 93

Tignanello 2018 is a deeply intense ruby red color. On the nose, it's remarkably complex with notes of ripe red fruit, black cherries, sour cherries that merge with sweet hints of vanilla, mint anddelicate sensations of white pepper and myrtle. Its palate is rich and well balanced: supple velvety tannins are sustained by exceptional freshness that give the wine length, elegance and persistence of flavors.

According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, "I think it's safe to say this is potentially the best Rubicon made to date...

2008 Scarecrow Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Stored in a professional temperature controlled wine locked since release. Like listening to cool mellow rock 'n' roll. Extraordinary aromas of violets and dark fruits such as blueberries and currants. I can't get over the aromas here. Then it goes to minerals with just a hint of bay leaf. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins with a beautiful softness and beautifulness. I love the balance and harmony to this with bright acidity. I would drink this before the 2007. Just under 1,000 cases of 12 but all sold in threes. Reminds me of Leoville Las Cases but with Napa brightness.

A 95-point Robert Parker rated wine. The 2017 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard is medium ruby-purple colored with exuberant redcurrants, black cherries and black raspberries notes with hints of violets, chocolate box and rose hip tea. The palate is full-bodied with a firm frame of fine-grained tannins and amazing freshness, finishing very long and juicy.

93 points by Cellar Tracker. Expressive red apple, raspberry, and pomegranate aromas excite alongside soft notes of lavender and spice.

2012 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon

93 points. This 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon artfully combines the classic elegance of the old world and the ripe fruit of California. It displays an opaque garnet color with a bouquet driven by fruity aromas of blackberry liqueur and hoisin sauce. It also offers the savory components of sage and molasses. These complex aromatics are complemented by sandalwood and nutmeg characteristics indicative of American oak aging. This is a well-structured wine with a compact and rich mid-palate buttressed by silky tannins and generous acidity. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2037.

Caymus Vineyards is one of Napa Valley's benchmark Cabernet producers, producing consistent Cabernets year after year. The Caymus Special Selection wine consistently scores high ratings. Wine Spectator Magazine selected this wine as "Wine of the Year" twice.

The Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay is one of the most consistent wines to be found. The 2018 vintage stays true-to-form. TASTING NOTES: This wine is attractive, classy, and has a soft touch on its crisp finish. Its time-honored aromas and flavors of ripe apples, a hint of peach fuzz, and a suggestion of minerality make it a perfect first-course wine. Rating 90

The 2019 Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay has been a time-tested and well-loved wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is lovely from start to finish. Enjoy its beautiful and pleasing aromas and flavors of ripe apples, oaky notes, and suggestions of butter with grilled chicken thighs and caramelized onions. Rating: 90

The 2020 Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay-one of America's most-heralded wines-continues its string of successes with its newly released vintage. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of fragrant apple, a hint of flowers, and an elegant touch of oak. Enjoy its smooth palate ride with ginger and garlic-roasted Dungeness crab.

Pangloss 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Monte Rosso Vineyard - 1.5 liter magnum

Planted by famed winemaker Louis Martini in 1938, this exceptional vineyard block boasts the oldest producing Cabernet Sauvignon in North America. In 2012, a generous harvest from one of Monte Rosso Vineyard's most celebrated micro-blocks created a one-time opportunity to bottle a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon from this coveted location. Known as Block E-50, this small pocket produces wine of incredible complexity, with a unique character that distinguishes it even from other Cabernet Sauvignon within Monte Rosso Vineyard. Knowing it would gain greater dimension with time, we bottled the E-50 Cabernet Sauvignon entirely in magnum format. The Monte Rosso Vineyard is famous for cellar-worthy wines, and after waiting patiently for several years, we decided the moment had arrived. Still, we expect it to continue aging gracefully for decades to come.

Donelan "Cuvée Christine" Syrah 2013

The 2012 Syrah Cuvée Christine is 100% Syrah. It sees about 16% new French oak for 20 months prior to bottling. About 30% whole clusters were used in making this wine, which has a vague similarity to one of Guigal's single vineyard Côte-Rôties such as La Landonne. Powerful, rich, and dense, the opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of spring flowers, asphalt, charcoal, blackberry and cassis are all present in this full-bodied, structured wine, which has grip, loads of tannin, and a huge upside. I wouldn't even touch a bottle for another 2-3 years. Drink it over the following 15-20.

Cliff Lede Trio 2015 - 1 bottle Howell Mountain, 1 bottle Diamond Mountain and 1 bottle Stags Leap District

a. Stags Leap - $100 to $120 - Robert Parker 93 pts
"A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District offers up a cassis, smoked meat, blackberry preserves and spice cake-scented nose with a mocha hint. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated with firm, grainy tannins, it shows a lot of oak, which should marry with the intense fruit, finishing long and layered."

b. Diamond Mountain - $100
Winery notes: "Our Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon comes from exceptional, low-yielding vineyards with volcanic ash and gravelly loam soils in the Diamond Mountain appellation, nestled in the Mayacamas Range on the northwest side of Napa Valley. The sun-drenched mountain vineyards have late afternoon breezes that ripen the fruit slowly and evenly. Both sites are planted to extraordinary old vines on a steep incline with historic Napa field selections and produce age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit, intense structure, minerality, and perfume."

c. Howell Mountain - $80 to $100
Winery notes: "Exceptional high-elevation vineyards in the Howell Mountain appellation produce intensely concentrated grapes for this wine. Soils are volcanic in origin and consist of two main types; the first is decomposed volcanic ash called tufa, and the second is red volcanic rock and clay that is high in iron. Both are nutrient poor, which stresses the vines, producing intense and structured wines from small clusters and berries. The altitude, climate, and soils combine to create a classic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon with incredible concentration, texture, and structure...Hand harvested in the cool early morning hours, the fruit was immediately subjected to rigorous selection by our three-tiered sorting process, including our cutting edge optical sorter, with a goal of eliminating less-than-perfect berries. The selected fruit was gently delivered to tank via gravity by our crane system, retaining perfect, whole berries. Cold soaks lasted approximately five days, and fermentations were managed by a combination of délestage and pump overs. Extended maceration, ranging from three to four weeks, fine-tuned tannin profiles, allowing us to build structure and wine complexity. The wine was aged in French oak barrels, 60% of which were new, for twenty-one months."

Bevan "Ontogeny" Oakville Bordeaux Blend 2014

This is a mix of all of our big boy vineyards and two small special vineyards that give this wine life. I use several press barrels from Tin Box, Tench and Wildfoote, which have chewy, vibrant textures. I worry that I might be making a beast, so I throw in a little kiss of Sugarloaf merlot, which pulls everything back together. It reminds me more of the 2009 than any of the other vintages, as it has so much power and richness at the same time.

a. One bottle 2013 Ercolani Vino Nobile di Montepulciano "Riserva" Apostoli
Fruity plum jam, with spicy notes of black pepper and cloves "Apostoli" is the name of an old monastery of 1400 that dominates and gives its name to one of the oldest vineyards of Montepulciano, which was planted in the "Nobiliare" era and has been maintained and rejuvenated with the work of grafting. "Riserva" are aged four years - 2 years in large oak barrels, one year in small oak barrels, and one year in bottle.

b. Fontodi Chianti Classico 2018
2018 was a "five-star vintage" for Chianti Classico and Fontodi is the maker of "Flaccianello" and located in the heart of Chianti Classico. It is located "precisely in the valley which lies south of the town of Panzano and is called the "Conca d'Oro" (the golden shell) because of its amphitheatre shape. A genuine and characteristc "Terroir", famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clayschist soil, lots of light, and a fantastic micro-climate - warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night-time temperatures.

c. Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico 2019
A beautiful, creamy red with cherry and chocolate character. Hints of dried earth. It's medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. shows firmness and tension. Very drinkable now, but will improve beautifully with age.

Pinot Tasting

Bloom's Field Pinot Noir 2019

98 points Vinous

The 2018 Pinot Noir Bloom's Field explodes from the glass with a heady concoction of dark red fruit, herbs, licorice, rose petal and orange peel. Aromatically intense and finely cut, the Bloom's Field is an unforgettable wine. Everything is so vivid, so nuanced. Beams of acid and saline minerality wrap around the sculpted finish. The 2018 Bloom's Field is an epic Pinot that redefines what the Sta. Rita Hills is all about. Don't miss it.

Occidental SWK Vineyard 2018

High-toned and heady all at once. A bouquet of red and black fruits is layered with fresh thyme, crushed stone, sea water. Savory as well as floral, equally red and black fruited, the wine is totally harmonious. Expresses a tremendous depth of flavor that is more linear than rounded. Nervy, chiseled, and tightly-wound - no other Occidental pinot noir is so salty and mineral-rich in character. Well-defined flavors of tiny alpine strawberries, violets, red currants. Finishes long and hauntingly persistent

Williams Selyem Pinot 2019

Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has lush aromas of wild berry preserves, aniseed, forest floor, potpourri and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is deeply fruited, wonderfully spiced and seamlessly structured, with a very long, layered finish. 2,885 cases produced.
