Harken Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented to create a rich Chardonnay with a classic profile of tropical fruit and Bosc pear alongside warm oak aromatics.

Hard to believe it's possible to make such refreshing, vibrant, clean Cava from the vineyards near Valencia - but that's just what we have here! 100% Macabeo with a year or so on the lees, this opens with tiny bubbles and aromas of yeasty stone fruit and yellow citrus. The aromas carry through on the palate where the orchard fruit strengthens and lingers nicely on the citrusy, dry, lightly nutty finish. A delicious value in high quality fizz at a very everyday price.

The name "Strev" refers to the hills where the Moscato grapes are cultivated. The Moscato grapes grown here are known for their exceptional ripeness due to the warm microclimate and steep hillsides. The juice obtained from the pressing of the grapes is maintained at low temperatures until the time of refermentation which takes place in pressurized tanks. Once the alcohol reaches 5.5, fermentation is halted and the wine is bottled with its natural vivacity.

In this spirit our Sauvignon Blanc captures the fresh and clean flavors of gooseberries, currants, capsicum and hints of lime. Refreshingly dry it is to be enjoyed with your favorite summer food.

Beautifully focused on the palate with flavors of crisp, zesty lemon, green apple, lime and barrel spice. The wine rounds out with our signature citrus acidity and a nicely balanced long, flavorful finish.

Steel aged and bottled early, which preserves freshness, aromatics, and delicious fruit-forwardness. Notes of jammy berries and cassis are marked by earthy, well-integrated tannins and a long finish. A steal for the price!

The name Parcel 41 is derived from the original agriculture land assessor’s plot number for the original ranch in Napa Valley. This wine is a crowd pleaser and will pair well with everything from braised pork to bacon-roasted Brussels sprouts.

Pale, medium ruby color. Aromas of dark cherry – round and lush, tomato leaf, amaro, herbaceous, fennel. Flavors of cherry, black tea, amaro, greenhouse, and forest floor. The structure provides subtle tannins with medium weight. Round palate with soft acid.

On the nose it displays a fruity bouquet with aromas of green apple and pink grapefruit. A smooth, crispy, extremely elegant palate with a long, fresh and tasty finish

Roederer Estate Brut is crisp and elegant with complex pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. It is fresh and lightly fruity with great finesse and depth of flavor.

100% Pinot Noir. Blanc de Blanc This rosé showcases some fruit from the village of Ambonnay in addition to Bouzy. Strawberry and yeast with that forward red fruit immediately present. The palate is very balanced and keeps the exuberance of the nose in check with moderate acidity and an excellent seam of cream. The fruit and presence of this wine seems to call for duck with raspberries.

Intense hue with colored highlights. Our Grand Cru Brut Rosé displays the characteristic elegant style of Gatinois Champagnes. The nose and palate offer up a subtle bouquet of red fruit (strawberries, blackberries, cherries) and a dash of spice which evolves into lingering notes of morello cherries on the rich finish.

This cuvée is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay. Its complexity, its great vinosity and the surprisingly fresh finish is particularly appreciated by the most informed wine lovers.

Medium expressive nose displaying ripe yellow fruit, dry apricot, apple, a hint of burnt sugar, brioche, cinnamon and earthy mineral. Excellent concentration, packed ripe yellow fruit, medium abundant medium fine mousse, deeply toned, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long ripe yellow fruit driven finish with burnt sugar at the end.

Frenzy Sauvignon Blanc is intensely aromatic and lively with flavors of peach, grapefruit, lime, melon and cut grass. This is a crisp, refreshing, vibrant and aromatic example of Marlborough's best Sauvignon Blanc that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, or match with seafood.

At Matua, Sauvignon Blanc is pretty special. That's because back in 1974, they produced NZ's very first Sauvignon Blanc. 10 years later, they were making it in Marlborough. Now, Marlborough Sauvy is world famous for its unique, fresh flavors. For this wine, we've chosen grapes from across Marlborough, giving you the best crisp and tropical flavors Marlborough has to offer all in one sip!

The wine opens with tropical aromas of lychee, lemon blossom, lemongrass, and lime leaf on the nose, with nice crisp acidity, great zip, and grassy grapefruit flavors on the palate. It is medium-bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc, with a thought-provoking nuance, yet is easy-drinking at the same time. The mouth-feel is juicy and the finish is long and mouth-watering.

Vibrant aromas of grapefruit, white peach and passionfruit with hints of tropical stone fruits. Mouth-watering acidity and minerality lead to a refreshing finish.

Stone fruit and lime zest on the nose lead into fresh boxwood and a wet stone minerality. Fermented in concrete and stainless steel.

Grown on the lower terrace at Te Muna Road, this wine shows a unique level of texture and complexity. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality while the rocky soils gives intensity of the fruit.

Citrus and lemon aromas with slight notes of fresh grass. The mouth is balanced and structured. To be drunk young to preserve its freshness.

A simple statement and profound truth: great wine is grown in the vineyard. To make it you must start with outstanding fruit. Sonoma County comprises one of the most diverse and impressive viticultural areas in the world. The vineyards are chosen to highlight this diversity, from coastal to inland, high elevation to low, rocky soil to sandy, cool-climate to warm, so that they can showcase this fascinating variety in vineyard designates, appellation wines and proprietary blends.

Very nice Sauvignon Blanc from Loire region; light pale yellow colored; aromas of lemon, lime, apple with hints of honey; very fruity attack with plenty of acidity; very refreshing crispness and minerality and a rich and long aftertaste.

"The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc contains 60% estate fruit this year and 42% of the blend comes from Sauvignon Musqué. Barrel fermented and aged in 18% new oak with twice-weekly lees stirring, it has a gregarious nose with gooseberry, tart kiwi, tarragon, cut grass, white peaches and elderflower plus touches of lime and stone. Light to medium-bodied, it offers great flavor intensity with bright, zippy acidity and a long, lightly textured finish."

Smells like pears and river rocks. The fruit is lean, and the mineral-feels are prominent. The acidity is vigorous and takes away from the fruit just slightly. With a goat cheese salad, this would shine.

While Didier Dagueneau, the "wild man of Pouilly," is no longer with us (sadly, he died in a plane crash in 2008) his legacy lives on at the domaine he built, which is now run by his son, Louis-Benjamin. Produced from vines averaging 15-50 years of age, planted high on the slopes of St-Andelain in vineyards that boast large proportions of Silex. Aged in 450 and 600-liter barrels, as well as some of the famed "cigar" barrels that Didier designed. This is the estate's Grand Cru, a long-lived wine that is famous for drinking rather austerely in its youth, but evolving into some of the best examples of Sauvignon Blanc ever made. *Biodynamic*

Vineyard Origins wines are produced from smaller-yielding vineyards in Lake County, Monterey, Mendocino, Lodi and the cooler areas of Northern Central Valley. The Lot 15 Chardonnay is fermented in stainless steel and partially neutral oak barrel aged. Crisp and clean with pleasant citrus and tropical fruit flavors and aromas. Perfect version of the everyday Chardonnay!

Aromas of fresh red apple, lemon zest, vanilla whipped cream, fresh-baked bread, and hints of nectarine stand out in our 2018 Chardonnay. The first sip showcases lemon curd, delicate tangerine, and pear. The second has a silky vanilla milkshake mouthfeel with a bright grapefruit citrus note and finishes with tart lime and peach frozen yogurt.

Harken Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented to create a rich Chardonnay with a classic profile of tropical fruit and Bosc pear alongside warm oak aromatics.

Aromas of apple, pear, pineapple, honey, graham cracker, biscotti, almond and vanilla. Flavors of citrus, lemon cream, green apple, pear, mineral, toasty oak and vanilla.

Beautifully focused on the palate with flavors of crisp, zesty lemon, green apple, lime and barrel spice. The wine rounds out with our signature citrus acidity and a nicely balanced long, flavorful finish.

A ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic nose is comprised by notes of citrus, ginger, mineral reduction and yellow orchard fruit that are set off by a subtle application of oak with intense flavors that display good minerality.

Hailing from ‘La Combe Verte,’ otherwise known as “Green Valley,” this is rich and round, yet maintains a striking acidity. Dense and delicious, the wine shows notes of lemon skin, coarse salt, and stone fruit.

A unique combination of barrel fermentation followed by extended “sur lie” aging in concrete vats. Balance and restraint in a varietal not always associated with these traits.

The leaner and more Chablisiane reminiscent of two main Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay bottlings, White Hill highlights the unique salinity that comes through in the ancient soils of Sta. Rita Hills. Floral and fragrant, fresh tangerine, beeswax, jasmine. Up front minerality follow by a slightly creamier mid-palate with hints of baked lemon curd.

Dehlinger’s Chardonnays are crafted using traditional techniques which preserve the flavor and elegance of the variety. At harvest, the grapes are picked at night, brought cold into the winery and “whole cluster pressed” to extract the highest quality juice. From there, the juice is fermented in French oak barrels using native yeasts. The wine gains further complexity through malolactic fermentation and a year of aging on the lees. Dehlinger has been bottling its Chardonnays “Unfiltered” since the late 1990s in order to capture the full flavor potential and most pleasing texture possible.

The concentration remains but the register has changed; lying between very ripe pears and nuts – Brazil nuts and pecans, almonds, and not far from walnuts either; at the same time, a sweetness evoking sweet almond oil, hazelnut, a white peach halo, sensual white flowers – opened wide, white roses in particular, a touch of menthol excites the nose, with a tendency to swell, bringing freshness and energy; the nuts now combine with white chocolate, a touch of crème fraîche; broom flowers add to the growing charm of the whole, a note of vanilla; and finally there’s something like gougères, or even cream puffs.

Bright, forward aromas of ripe pineapple, guava, and hints of citrus fruits are complemented by subtle notes of orange blossom and sweet toasty vanilla. The palate is full bodied and rich with notes of pineapple, mandarin, and lemon rind that integrate wonderfully with the natural, vibrant acidity and subtle American Oak. This wine is drinking beautifully now, and like all ZD’s wines, it will age gracefully and develop complexity for years to come.

It's fair to assume that with alcohol dropped down to the low 12% range, this is going to be a highly acidic wine. That it is, but along with the zippy, lemony acidity comes nuanced flavors of lemon zest, green pineapple, green banana and a hint of peanut butter in the finish. The wine was barrel-fermented in mostly neutral French oak.

Mayacamas always delivers such focused and well-crafted chardonnay like this with cooked-apple, pear, light vanilla and seashell character on the palate. It’s tight and super integrated with a tight, creamy palate that goes on for minutes. Serious structure.

Our Russian River Valley 2019 Sonoma Chardonnay is a tangerine dream soaring with citrus blossom, sweet jasmine and subtle toasted oak. Elevated, vibrant and fresh, with cascading citrus fruit and a supporting backdrop of native acidity, the wine carries flavorful drive through the finish.

Richly aromatic with notes of white fig, and citrus blossom, this captivating Chardonnay slowly builds on the palate, progressing from silky notes of honeydew, nectarine, and lemon zest to a full finish supported by elegant, toasted oak. Crisp minerality and juicy acidity lift and support the generous fruit and provide the framework for graceful aging. This wine will continue to gain richness and complexity in the bottle and glass.

The 2018 Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos" is sourced from the largest and most famous of the Grands Crus, because it is the historical cradle of Chablis vineyards. The vineyard, due to its south orientation, rests on a Kimmeridgian limestone bed, and the vines are approximately 30 years old. Aromatically, the wine is full of lemon curd, tart green apples, and striking minerality. On the palate, the wine has a delicious texture with hints of warm vanilla, underripe peaches, and white chalk.

The grapes for Belle Côte are grown at 1,700 to 1,800 feet above sea level. The high elevation, in combination with a more sheltered site, create conditions for a long and slow ripening. The resulting wine offers the broadest, fattest fruit profile of our four single vineyard Chardonnays, with clean citrus notes, exotic lychee and our signature wet stone-like minerality.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village, matured in 15% new oak, has an intense bouquet with cold flint and sea cave aromas that you would guess come from a much cooler growing season. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a touch of bitter lemon and a dab of spice towards the cohesive and quite persistent finish.

Off-dry with crisp acidity and vibrant fruit, featuring citrus, stone fruits and pineapple with a mineral-infused finish.

Straw color and a fruity bouquet. The palate is dry, soft, and well balanced. It is a fresh and crisp wine, both floral and fruity; it expresses ripe peach and apple flavors with a subtle mineral finish.

A refreshing, off-dry wine with prominent apricot, white peach, lychee nut, Granny Smith apple and lemon cream flavors.

The name "Strev" refers to the hills where the Moscato grapes are cultivated. The grapes grown here are known for their exceptional ripeness due to the warm microclimate and steep hillsides. The juice obtained from the pressing of the grapes is maintained at low temperatures until the time of refermentation which takes place in pressurized tanks. Once the alcohol reaches 5.5, fermentation is halted and the wine is bottled with its natural vivacity.

Notes of bright citrus, wax, kerosene, flower blossoms and honey lead into a bone-dry palate that's fruit-driven, steering it away from overt austerity. Tangy fruit, crunchy acidity, a slippery texture and a mouthwatering finish all work in harmony with one another, making it hard to resist another sip.

Color: pale straw-yellow. Peachy, citrus and floral aromas. Flavors include tart green apple and nectarine, with mouthwatering acidity, lemon and lemon rind on the finish. Pair with foods that are light in weight but bold in flavor. This wine’s bright, green apple acid and full, fruity palate make it delicious with all kinds of seafood, especially oysters, Greek-style salads and any preparations that includes feta, lemon, cucumber and garlic, fritto misto, Caesar salad, even sushi.

A clean, lovely aperitif to start any food occasion. It goes wonderfully with fresh cheeses, seafood, pasta, and rice dishes, as well as white meats, sushi and soufflés.

Light, fruity, easy drinking red.

Steel aged and bottled early, which preserves freshness, aromatics, and delicious fruit-forwardness. Notes of jammy berries and cassis are marked by earthy, well-integrated tannins and a long finish. A steal for the price!

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Alexander Valley wine with medium body, great fruit flavors and smooth, structured tannins. Winemaker Kevin Hall added 6% Merlot for structure, a touch of Cabernet Franc for floral notes and Malbec and Petit Verdot for color. This is an elegant wine with aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, vanilla, oak and chocolate. In the glass there are lush flavors of cherry, cassis, blackberry and chocolate. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon evolves with each sip. This is a graceful wine with great balance and a long, lingering finish. While fruit forward upon release, this wine will reward those with the patience to lay down a few bottles

Blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and a little Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. A rich and dense red with lots of juicy fruit that delivers chocolate and spice. Full body, round and flavorful.

A velvety smooth, complex blend of our finest grapes. With excellent structure and balance, this wine will drink well now and benefit from aging. 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot. Aged 21 months in French oak.

This wine is full-bodied with layers of plum, cedar, sage and smoky leather. Elegant, round tannins and a touch of vanilla with toasty caramel linger on the finish. It pairs well with roasted, broiled or barbecued game and red meats such as lamb and beef, as well as pork and veal. Medium and strong-flavored cheeses, such as blue cheese or sharp cheddar, also pair nicely with this wine. Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 4% Petit Verdot

2017 had a cool Spring and mild summer which resulted in slow ripening until a heat spike around Labor Day accelerated ripening. Immediately after, the weather returned to mild temperatures again, allowing the grapevines to recover. Individual blocks at Jack London vineyard were picked at the peak of ripeness between September 25th and October 2nd. After an average of 16 days of fermentation on the skins, the lots were then individually pressed off and settled before being transferred into barrels for 30 months of aging.

The 2017 Claret rested on its lees twelve months in French & American oak barrels, only 24% new, with monthly bâtonnage to coat the tannins, producing a luscious, cushioned mouthfeel. This wine was lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration in February 2019.

Once again, Malbec and Merlot make up the largest portion of the blend, though in 2017, there is a solid 23% Cabernet, giving support and structure to the wine. Opaque ruby-purple. Aromatics include sandalwood, cola, leather and baked/dried cherry. Lovely heavy entry, with big, round bittersweet cherry and cocoa flavors. Full-bodied. The 23% Cabernet makes its presence known with firmer tannins. Pair with moderately rich dishes, such as (George’s favorite) pot roast or braised short-ribs, cheesy polenta, demi-glace-based, reduced sauces or a classic steak au poivre.

A dark crimson with a blue band, the nose presents immediate aromas of boysenberry, currants, graphite, cedar, fir ash and vanilla. Seamless on the entry with resounding energy, the mid-palate features lush blackberry and bing cherry as well as a hint of sweet red licorice. Long, complex tannins punctuate the finish with an elegant and tapering note of black tea.

The harvest of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes at our Rossi and Chavez-Leeds vineyards began at the end of September. 2018 was a long, cool vintage with no heat spikes. It was a gentle and even-paced harvest which was heartily welcomed after the challenges of the fires in the prior year. This 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas of blackcurrant fruit, an underlying hint of earth and a dusty character that is classic to Rutherford Cabernet. The palate invites one in offering bright acidity and well-integrated tannins that make this wine approachable in its youth. Its character also hints at beautiful aging potential.

The only 2016 presented, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley spent 16-18 months in American oak and reveals a saturated purple color as well as a ripe, sexy style in its blackberry, plums, vanilla bean, and spice-laced aromas and flavors. Loaded with fruit, it still stays balanced and pure, with silky tannins and a great finish. I don't think it's going to make old bones, but it's a beautiful, pleasure-bent beauty.

TD-9 is a proprietary blend that celebrates a bold move. In 1973, in the space of a few months, John Shafer went from riding morning commuter trains in Chicago to teaching himself to drive a TD-9 tractor in our Napa Valley vineyard. He’d never grown grapes or made wine in his life. That spirit of risk-taking and adventure still guides Shafer today and inspired the creation of this new wine.

The 2019 ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon delivers expressive aromas of mocha, chocolate covered cherry, crushed raspberry, olive and thyme. Rich and flavorful, the wine is well-structured with fine grained tannins. The palate has a pleasing brambleberry note that leads to a long finish with a hint of oak spice.

This wine has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe, velvety tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Caymus farms Cabernet grapes in eight of Napa’s 16 sub-appellations, with diversification enabling the winery to make the best possible wine in a given year. This Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe dark berries.

Our 2017 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of 95.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.6% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc, 0.3% Petit Verdot and 0.1% Malbec. In early 2018, the final blend was transferred to American oak barrels from our cooperage, The Oak, where it aged for 24 months. Half the barrels for our 2017 Alexander Valley vintage were new, providing a subtle, layered expression of bay leaf, coconut and vanilla to our wines. Blending before barrel aging—a signature of our winemaking style—allows blends to be based on the inherent qualities of their vineyard components before oak influence. Vintage to vintage, the resulting Cabernets emerge integrated and ready to drink upon release.

The Palate of the Napa Valley Cabernet has always been reference point for the freshness and elegance that pure Cabernet Sauvignon is capable of achieving in the new world. The 2016 is not different. This cuvee continues to be the entry point for classically produced produced Cabernet Sauvignon in the Napa Valley. Bright and fresh red fruits are showing vibrantly in the 2016 and will continue to for years to come.

Made with the addition of 9% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby core with a magenta rim and bursts with aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry essence and plum compote. Full-bodied, the palate offers firm tannins that sway with mineral tension and juicy robustness. Seductive floral tones offer a lasting impression across the long-lingering and juicy finish, leaving behind flavors of bitter dark chocolates and crème de cassis.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a total knock out. Creamy, ample and explosive, a level of richness and textural intensity that have eluded previous vintages. An exotic mélange of dark cherry jam, plum, menthol, licorice, leather and spice build as it shows off its arresting beauty.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Petite Sirah, the 2018 The Bard comes from 12 different vineyard sources and is composed from 40 separate lots. Deep garnet-purple colored, it soars from the glass with notions of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and plum preserves, giving way to a a wave of clove oil, chocolate box, exotic spices and cracked black pepper. Full-bodied, rich and plush in the mouth, it has loads of spice-spiked black fruit layers, lifted by just enough freshness, going long and mineral-laced on the finish.

The name Parcel 41 is derived from the original agriculture land assessor’s plot number for the original ranch in Napa Valley. This wine is a crowd pleaser and pairs well with everything from braised pork to bacon-roasted Brussels sprouts.

Blend of 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petite Sirah and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it has a very pretty, fragrant nose of warm plums, boysenberries and blueberry tart plus hints of baking spices, lavender and dusty earth. Full-bodied, rich and spicy in the mouth, it has great intensity and plush, ripe tannins, finishing wonderfully decadent.

This classic Napa Valley Merlot has a deep, rich color, with chocolate, cherries, fig, violets and white pepper on the nose and dark fruit, brambles and a nice richness on the palate. Drink now if you like, or cellar for a few years - this wine will continue to mature, develop and grow as time goes on.

Ripened red berries and cherry flavors are accentuated by delicate notes of mocha, herbs, and spice. This wine has a plush mouth-feel and a lovely finish.

Lush and vivid, the 2018 Blueline Estate Merlot opens with pronounced aromas of tangy dark cherry, raspberry compote and warm chestnut, with telltale notes of mandarin orange peel and Asian five spice providing precision and lift. Across the palate, the vibrant red fruit shines, accented by warm blackberry pie filling, roasted nut and hoisin notes. While supple and gracious in texture, Blueline’s mineral-rich soils add defined firmness to its structure and noticeable lift on the finish. The subtle nuances of aromatics, flavor and texture give Blueline Merlot a uniquely wide breadth of food pairing options from Mediterranean to Asian fare.

Pahlmeyer 2017 Napa Valley Merlot is a cellar-worthy wine that will age beautifully for a decade or more. The wine opens with aromas of preserved marasca cherries, rose petal, anise and a touch of soft, supple leather. The well-textured palate brings fruit-forward notes of blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and black cherry that blend seamlessly with spicy, earthy undertones of allspice, sautéed sage, black tea leaf and hints of clove before a lengthy, memorable finish.

Pale, medium ruby color. Aromas of dark cherry – round and lush, tomato leaf, amaro, herbaceous, fennel. Flavors of cherry, black tea, amaro, greenhouse, and forest floor. The structure provides subtle tannins with medium weight. Round palate with soft acid.

The Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir is made up entirely of fruit from Whistling Ridge Vineyard. Vines sit ridge-top and catch the daily winds that blow in, slowing ripening, evaporating moisture, and thickening skins. Shallow soils are formed from uplifted marine sedimentary rock, and dry out quickly in the growing season. Richard and Patricia Alvord planted and have farmed the 14 acre plot for the past two and a half decades. Patricia does all of her own grafting , and Pinot Noir plantings are a selection massale of over half a dozen clones. The wines are red-fruited, perfumed, structured and elegant.

The color is deep beet red with a waffle cone nose of concentrated cherry, spice, plum and grilled meat. Experientially, it’s almost as if you had been popped in the mouth in a cherry orchard at harvest, meaning its concentrated-saline Bing cherry on vibrant acidity.

The nose is rich with mushroom, truffle, and forest floor, accompanied by black cherry, cranberry, and clove. The palate reflects the cranberry, black cherry and truffle, but also introduces a dash of black pepper with medium tannins and acidity on the finish. This wine pairs beautifully with the bounty of Oregon, like wild mushroom risotto or grilled lamb with an herbed, hazelnut crust.

This has a sultry nose with violet and dark-cherry aromas, as well as forestwood, sous-bois and spicy, earthy notes. The palate has a very rich delivery of super pure dark cherries and such assertive, driving, older-vine tannins. Delicious pinot with plenty of flavor.

Thick and concentrated in blueberry and black cherry jam, this is a robustly ripe, powerfully built wine, full of intensity. Toasted oak and threads of black tea and black pepper add savory complexity to the fruit.

This vintage of Los Carneros Pinot Noir is unmistakably true to variety with an aromatically inviting bouquet and striking complexity. Bright red fruit characteristics of pomegranate, bing cherry, cranberry and raspberry are seamlessly woven together with floral tones of violet and rose, balanced with subtle earthy notes of forest herbs, cinnamon and cardamom. The wine’s mouthfeel is generous and well rounded yet focused and fresh with a mouthwatering brightness and a firm back bone you expect to see in a well crafted Pinot Noir. Food pairing possibilities are limitless, or pour and serve on its own to savor its subtleties and evolution in the glass.

One of the greatest characteristics Russ finds in Evesham Wood's proprietary yeast that he "isolated" from a bottle of 1986 Jayer Echezeaux is the velvety texture it imparts on the wines. While we use that yeast in every Pinot Noir we make, the texture it imparts is particularly notable in this wine. The 6 barrels selected from Le Puits Sec display a beautiful balance of elegance while also concentration and power. Bright berries, plum and sage with hints of toasty oak with great length on the finish.

Fresh raspberry, cinnamon, clove, bing cherry on the nose. Savory acid and fresh red fruits on the palate. Very graceful and elegant but not lacking in complexity or concentration.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard opens with cranberry sauce, blueberries, bergamot, dried flowers and orange peel with dusty earth and tree bark hints. It has a medium weight and perfumed fruits knit by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing lifted.

A brilliant ruby red color, the 2018 ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Pinot Noir expresses aromas of dried cherry, dark chocolate, and saddle leather on the nose. On the palate, ripples of composed tannins and savory characters of cherry tobacco, ground cloves, and allspice reveal themselves, leading to a finish of great concentration and acidity. This Pinot Noir is beautiful on release and will age gracefully in the cellar for years to come.

Made primarily by Nico Cueva, who’s the winemaker for Kosta Browne. This is a ripe, medium to full-bodied, broad, and expansive effort from the Russian River Valley that offers terrific notes of strawberries and cherry fruit, lots of violets and forest floor nuances, silky tannin, and loads of spice on the finish.

The wine starts out with a deep ruby color. On the nose, the wine is full of cherry and blackberry fruits, which continue on the palate. What sets this Shiraz apart is the intensity of this ripe fruit, which is just as intense on the finish as when the wine first hits your tongue. The finish has a mineral-graphite edge that balances the fruit nicely.

Exceptionally smooth, with a ripe raspberry character indicative of Mendocino County’s sun-drenched Zinfandel vines. The bramble and berry palate is accented by a savory richness, layered over bourbon barrel notes of dried herbs and burnt vanilla.

The first thing that captures your eye is a rich, dark purple hue that’s on the edge of inky. Aromas of mulberry, blackberry, and mocha entrance you further. A solid mouthfeel, the fruit reaffirms itself with blackberry, boysenberry, and raspberry preserves. Spicy notes of clove, dried sage, black pepper, and fennel appear along with Black Forest cake and that “vin sauvage” they prize. Well-structured with a solid mouthfeel, refreshing acidity, and velvety finish of fine tannins. Uncommonly layered, complex, and remarkably humble, this Dry Creek Zinfandel is a perfect complement to roasted sweet potatoes with fresh rosemary and sage sprinkled on top, beef stew (a crock pot would make this super easy), hearty grain salad with hazelnuts and cherries, or a selection of cheeses including Blue, Feta, or Stilton. Blend: 77% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 3%, Syrah, 2% Barbera, 1% Mourvèdre, 1% Malbec, 1% Montepulciano

This is a full-bodied and well-structured wine that is incredibly full of life and born to be enjoyed with food and friends. Goes great with many foods, especially meat and barbecue.

The red 2017 Reserva, which is sold as Crianza in Spain, is their most popular wine, representing half of the total production of the firm. As is the norm here, it fermented in oak vats and matured in barrels, in this case for 24 months, crafted by their own coopers. The wine is fined with egg whites and kept in bottle for a further 12 months before it's released. I had the wine in the glass for a very long time, and it didn't stop improving; it started a little lactic and creamy, and then it got more and more serious. This is the only red they produced this vintage, so all the best grapes that normally go to other wines were used here; those selected grapes helped to keep the volume of this cuvée, and at the same time, it seems to have boosted the quality of this wine, which feels every bit as good as the 2016. It has a serious palate with fine, chalky tannins and very good balance.

The aroma springs out of the glass with black pepper, tapenade, licorice and herbs of Provence. The fruit aromas of the wine hit high red notes along with the obvious darker impressions of fruit, like black mission figs. On the palate, the wine carries a massive structure that calms down with a little air. Good luck on keeping your hands off of this when you open it.

With 114,000 bottles produced, this is a terrific value buy from one of the best performing estates in the appellation. The 2018 Chianti Classico is made with 82% Sangiovese that has been blended with 15% Canaiolo and 3% Syrah from a mix of sandstone, galestro and alberese soils. The wine is fresh and fruit forward with bright berry aromas over easy spice and smoky tar.

A succulent, juicy red, with huckleberry, plump blackberry and blueberry preserves that show hints of salted dark chocolate, dried violet and cardamom. Beyond the generous fruit flavors is a structure of polished tannins, with hints of palo santo, dried herbs and tobacco, adding depth and intrigue on the finish.

Bright ruby. Zesty red and dark berry aromas are complemented by notes of cracked pepper, black tea and smoky minerals. Racy, tightly wound black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors become sweeter with air and are framed by silky tannins. Finishes tangy, focused and persistent, with a stony quality.

Delicate scents of rose, wild berry, crushed herb and a whiff of new leather mingle together in the glass. On the linear palate, taut fine-grained tannins support dried cherry, orange zest, star anise and a hint of green tea before a rather drying finish.

Like Roberto Conterno's other wines from this controversial vintage, this wine shines with brilliant and unexpected purity and intensity that is harder to find in its peers. It shows a deep understanding of the potential of a warm growing season, and the Nebbiolo is supple, velvety and uncharacteristically exuberant (for a grape whose elegance starts famously with understatement). Francia in Serralunga d'Alba evokes power and profound depth, with black and purple fruit highlights, rusty nail, crème de cassis, grilled rosemary and reddish rock or baked terracotta. The wine carries its considerable fruit weight with grace, and at the end of the day, it offers a complete portrait of vintage, variety and vintner.
