RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 22nd Oct 2020 A juicy display of blackberry reduction, dark cherry and plum with a streak of baking spices and vanilla all merge with aromas of chocolate ganache, which fill the glass of the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Dead Canyon Ranch. Medium to full-bodied, flavors of juicy plum, cocoa nibs and black raspberry fill the palate with a balanced frame, before ending with a lingering, dark-berried and juicy finish. It’s a delightful wine at a keen price. Give it a try.WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2020 The aromas offer notes of smoke, black currant, green pepper and plum. Sweet matchstick and plum flavors follow, backed by tightly coiled, slightly dry tannins.

RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2019 The unoaked 2018 Malbec Clásico 2018 comes from a very good year, after 2013 and 2014, which were very difficult years, and 2015 and 2016 that saw lots of rain. According to winemaker Leo Erazo, it’s the most complex wine to make because of the many different sources of grapes, growers and the volume they make. But they planted 22 hectares in 2012, so they use more of their own grapes; the wine now has some 30% of grapes from Valle de Uco, which is always a cooler region that is noticed in the wine, which is very balanced, harmonious and easy to drink. It has a dusty note and fine tannins; it’s elegant and especially very drinkable.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Feb 2017 Deep garnet in color, the 2014 Zinfandel Fighting Brothers offers an abundance of black fruit preserves and blueberry pie notes plus underlying spice cake, incense and chocolate box hints. The richly fruited, full-bodied palate is packed with dried berries and spice layers, framed by velvety tannins and much needed freshness, which contributes a lively lift to the weighty finish.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2017 Blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Petit Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2015 Tarot Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color and exuberant nose of warm plums, crushed cherries and crème de cassis with touches of Indian spices, fragrant earth and violets with a waft of lavender. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it fills the palate with black berry and earthy layers, finishing with the lovely velvety texture paving the way.JD9191 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - December 29, 2017 The 2015 Tarot Cabernet Sauvignon offers more black cherry, spice and hints of toast, as well as medium to full-bodied richness and a tighter, more focused, concentrated style.

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.

RP8585 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Sep 2016 The 2015 Roche Darjac is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. It delivers a pleasant redcurrant and cranberry bouquet, what you might call a little “solid” but with plenty of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with powdered chocolate sprinkled over the black and red fruit, chunky and big-boned but packed with flavor on the finish. This is a decent, commercial Bordeaux wine at a bargain price, but give it a year in bottle if you can.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 5th Nov 2020 A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is deep garnet-purple in color, striding confidently out of the glass with classic notes of baked plums, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordial plus hints of cedar, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and featuring impressively pure black fruit flavors, the palate delivers a firm texture of ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long, layered and with lovely freshness. 1,400 cases were made.JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, August 24, 2020 Lots of walnut, chocolate, currant and thyme character to this with some wet earth and forest fruit. Vibrant nose. It’s full-bodied with lots of fruit and ripe tannins. Flavorful finish. Solid red. Drink or hold.JD92+92–94+ pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - January 31, 2020 Lastly, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes is a selection put together by Biagi and comes from a mix of the single vineyards. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all still aging in new barrels, it offers a plush, forward, full-bodied style that carries classic notes of jammy blackberry and cassis intermixed with lots of spice, chocolate, and a touch of graphite. This pleasure bent beauty will drink nicely for 10–15 years.VN91+91–94 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is powerful and dense with a real sense of classicism that runs through it. Gravel, licorice, black cherry, cloves and leather all race out of the glass in a positively stunning, inviting Cabernet that hits so many high notes. There is something truly magical about the 2018. Given its quality and price, the Reserve is unquestionably the wine in this range readers should focus on first.
JS9090 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, January 27, 2021 A medium-bodied red with aromas and flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant leaf, dried citrus zest, graphite and praline. Firm, chewy tannins. Generous spice and fruit-peel flavors. Drink or hold.RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 5th Nov 2020 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Educated Guess comes skipping out of the glass with bright, bold scents of ripe black and red plums, cassis and wild sage with wafts of tobacco leaf and new leather. The medium to full-bodied palate has a good amount of savory-laced black fruit preserves flavors with a chewy texture and refreshing finish.
RP97+97+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021 This is a classic vintage of an Italian icon now celebrating its 50th vintage. The Tenuta San Guido 2018 Bolgheri Sassicaia lays out a familiar blueprint that borrows from the proven track record of this landmark estate that extends into the hills just beyond the Tyrrhenian shores of Tuscany. This vintage is crystalline and pure in its delivery, and if you are familiar with previous editions, it is impossible to mistake this wine for anything but Sassicaia. The growing season started off cool and wet but turned to warm and dry conditions comfortably before the harvest. Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc in a supporting role deliver a graceful mid-weight texture that holds back style-wise in terms of phenolic density. The wine’s careful balance is achieved thanks to the nuanced character of the fruit, the present acidity, the well-managed structure and the contained alcohol. The palate is lifted and bright, the finish is polished and long, and the wine skips over any heaviness on the mid-palate. The bouquet is especially intriguing with a very lively plummy fruit element that is enhanced by baker’s chocolate, pepper spice, iron ore, caramel and pie crust. There is also a green character that adds positively to the bouquet with aniseed, tea leaf, soya, menthol rub and black olive. The fruit maturity is spot-on with no elements that feel over or underripe. Overall, the 2018 Sassicaia weighs in with a svelte frame and long persistence. Moreover, it is distinguished by the archetypal elegance and pedigree of the classic vintages of the past. This new release gives you much pleasure to await.VN9797 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 The 2018 Sassicaia is fabulous. Bright and beautifully poised, the 2018 opens with brilliant aromatics that make a strong first impression. Delicate and light on its feet, the 2018 is a regal wine that is going to need a number of years to come into its own. Sassicaia is the most finessed of Bolgheri’s top wines. That is very much the case in 2018 as well. I loved it.
RP8686 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 4th Mar 2021 The 2020 Zoe White is the typical unoaked blend (70/30) of Roditis and Moschofilero. It comes in with five grams of residual sugar (just slightly elevated) and 5.8 grams of total acidity, plus 12.1% alcohol. That makes this an aromatic and easy white for casual summer fun. There’s not much body and not much intensity, but its light, bright and very tasty demeanor will make it a popular choice — just drink it as young as possible. It has nowhere to go but down. It’s worth leaning up today.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The nose of the 2008 Viña Tondonia Reserva is very elegant, fresh and with an herbal twist, starting to show the complexity of the aged wines that are sometimes still too young when they are released 10+ years from the vintage! The palate is medium-bodied, with lightness and depth, very classical with extra freshness and all that is needed for a long development in bottle. This is the more Tondonia of the two vintages I tasted side by side. There are notes of maple syrup, smoke, licorice and crisp fruit. The palate is more austere, crunchy and reveals the chalkiness of the soils. There’s more definition and precision here.JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, November 2, 2020 Lots of dried fruit with plum, light raisin, chocolate and toasted oak. Some balsamic undertones. White truffles and dried flowers. Medium body, creamy tannins and savory, balsamic undertones. Extreme and unique, as always. Drink now.WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2020 This is a lean and fragrant vintage of Viña Tondonia, the López de Heredia family’s prime Rioja Alta vineyard above a meander along the Ebro River. In 2008, the wine is gamey up front, with sour cherry flavors and a delicate, lasting richness. The wine defines Rioja’s traditional elegance.
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Oct 2020 Bursting with aromas of plums, cherries and strawberries, the 2019 Beaujolais-Villages (Maison Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, juicy and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe but racy acids and velvety tannins. A wine that will appeal to purists and novices alike, this is a quintessentially charming Beaujolais-Villages from what is shaping up to be a very fine vintage.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2017 Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Greysac has a perfumed bouquet with plenty of tobacco-infused black fruit, just a touch of warm gravel emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp in the mouth with a very precise finish that deserves a round of applause. This comes highly recommended. Tasted September 2017.JS8989 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, February 2, 2018 Riper than many 2015s from this appellation and with a healthy tannic base, this Medoc has a lot going for it. There’s a hint of menthol on the nose, but also something savory and plenty of ripe red berries. Drink now.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 19th Sep 2019 The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Grigio is a beautiful wine with an inky dark appearance and softly contoured aromas of ripe cherry and dried blackberry. There is plenty of spice, tar and sweet tobacco to smooth over that beautiful fruit intensity; this is the sort of Chianti Classico you’d open for a marinated ribeye on the grill. The wine is compact and tight in the mouth. With 260,000 bottles made, Il Grigio is one of Italy’s ultimate value reds.JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, November 7, 2019 A very pretty, refined red with ultra-fine tannins, vivid fruit of crushed berries and tar, which all follow through to a medium to full body. Flavorful finish. Structured. So you can be patient; drink or hold.
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 10th Sep 2020 The certified-organic Monastrell 2019 Honoro Vera Organic fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with selected indigenous yeasts and was bottled unoaked. It’s quite similar to the regular Monastrell, all from their own vineyard with serious varietal aromas and a fruit-driven and juicy personality, serious and varietal, approachable but not banal, transcending its price point. Great value. 216,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2021 Dark ruby. Cassis, cherry and licorice scents and flavors take on a smoky nuance with air. Shows good depth and chewy texture. A peppery flourish adds spicy bite to a nicely persistent finish shaped by dusty tannins.
