WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2019 A high-toned acidity keeps this wine’s notes of ripe plum and fruit nectar in line and on point.VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2019 The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles Highlands District is a bold, pungent wine. Savory herbs, tobacco and cedar add a strong aromatic presence. Although a very good wine, the Cabernet is not quite as compelling as the other wines in the range, while the savory style is on the edge of being distractingly vegetal.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Apr 2020 The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is seductive, with its sweet spices and floral tones in a bouquet that gives way to dusty black cherry with grounding notes of worn leather and shaved cedar. Dark, ripe fruits, propelled by vibrant acids, and a mix of cooling minerals, savory spice, and fine tannins settle in. The finish is long and structured, with resonating acids, as ripe red fruits and sweet spices slowly fade under an air of pretty red florals. This is a gorgeous expression that can be enjoyed now but will also perform beautifully over the medium term in the cellar. A wonderful mix of ripeness and structure.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2019 The 2016 Virginie Thunevin is a very pretty wine. Sweet tobacco, cedar and grilled herb notes add lift to a core of red/purplish fruit. Pliant, expressive and inviting, the 2016 is an absolutely delicious Bordeaux to drink now and over the next few years.JD8989 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 2/28/2019 From vines next to Fronsac and brought up in a mix of inox and concrete, with oak staves added for some wood influence, the 2016 Domaine Virginie Thunevin offers up a medium-bodied, rounded, silky profile as well as plenty of black raspberry and blackcurrant fruits. Showing plenty of spice, a supple, elegant texture, and moderate tannins, I’d be happy to drink bottles any time over the coming 4–5 years.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2014 Bright ruby-red. Pungent red berries and cherry on the nose, with a mineral quality adding complexity and lift. Energetic cherry and raspberry flavors show very good concentration, with tangy acidity adding cut. Aeration brings up deeper blackberry and licorice notes, which carry through a persistent, youthfully tannic finish. (Josh Raynolds)SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Aug 31, 2014 Fresh and lively, with açaí and raspberry fruit flavors lined with lightly briary tannins and backed by singed vanilla, black tea and anise notes. Drink now through 2019. 60,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported. (James Molesworth)
VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 Brilliant ruby. Jammy, spice-tinged red fruits on the nose and palate, and a subtle floral nuance in the background. Supple and easygoing, showing some heat on the broad finish, which betrays just a hint of tannins.

SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 15, 2018 A well-cut and lacy Champagne in an elegant, aperitif style, with hints of chalk and graphite underscoring the lively Honeycrisp apple, cherry and lemon curd flavors. Offers a sleek, minerally finish. Drink now through 2021.WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2013 One of the most familiar of Champagnes, the Yellow Label is finely made — a fruity while structured wine. It has both fresh and fragrant fruit as well as richness, a soft, creamy texture and bright acidity. There is no sense in bottle aging here — drink this wine because of its crispness.WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 1997 The quality of this non-vintage blend is impressive, from it integrated Champagne scent to its creamy texture that carries aromas and flavors of green apples, white flowers, and fine minerality. It all comes together in the finish, where the opulent, pillowy texture meets the crispness of the mousse and light acidity.RP8787 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Dec 2008 The NV Brut offers up attractive notes of smoke, tar, rich ripe pears and flowers in a medium to full-bodied style. There is a good measure of persistence, although the wine could use a little more polish on the finish. This is Lot 14009913, disgorged between December, 2007 and January, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008–2010.ST8787 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Nov/Dec 2011 Bright yellow-gold. Poached pear and candied citrus fruits on the nose, which shows notes of spun sugar and toffee. Sweet orchard and pit fruit flavors are slightly cloying and loose-knit, with slow-mounting spiciness. Finishes on a warm note, with decent length and a suggestion of candied orange.
WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2022 This medium-bodied, barrel-fermented wine offers light, toasted oak aromas, attractive baked apple flavors and accents of butter and vanilla. Good balance keeps it going sip after sip, revealing spice and almond nuances.JD8888 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 8/2/2022 The 2020 Chardonnay Vintner’s Reserve is a mosaic of classic expressions, with toasted brioche, lemon candy, vanilla bean, and baking spice. The palate is full of ripe baked pineapple turnover cake, sweet pear, and vanilla. Classic for a reason, drink now or over the next 6 years.
JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, February 3, 2022 This is really delicious with berries, cherries, crushed stones, slate and dried rosemary. Subtle and flavorful at the same time. Medium tannins that are polished and pretty. Spices at the end. Grenache, as you may know already. Drink or hold.
Côtes de Provence Rosé 2021 / 750 ml. | Item#92484
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, February 7, 2022 Pale rose color with pretty aromas of lavender, rosehip, strawberries, cherries and cloves. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a supple, creamy palate. Perfumed and elegant. Drink now.
VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2021 Saturated violet. Lively and focused on the nose, displaying fresh red and blue fruit scents sharpened by a peppery nuance. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering tangy red currant and bitter cherry flavors; an earthy licorice note builds on the back half. Subtly gripping tannins firm a nicely persistent finish that echoes the peppery quality.
SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - May 31, 2022 Fragrant and vibrant, with lemongrass, Key lime, Asian pear and fresh ginger notes on a sleek frame. Delivers a touch of honeysuckle on the finish. Drink now. 607,706 cases made, 607,706 cases imported.VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2022 The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Whitehaven has plentiful power and drive in its bright and light body. With its freshly cut grass and passionfruit-like fruit, it’s a taste of summer. All you need is Wimbledon. There’s more intensity than usual thanks to the season’s naturally small crop, concentrating the fruit and packing a punch.
VN92+92–93 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2020 Deep bright-rimmed ruby. Expansive red berry preserve, floral pastille and white pepper scents are complicated by suggestions of garrigue and smoky minerals. Sweet, focused and seamless in the mouth, offering lively raspberry, cherry, spicecake and lavender flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Clings with strong authority on the subtly tannic finish and leaves succulent floral and red fruit notes behind.JD92+92–94 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - September 26, 2019 The classic cuvée of the estate, the 2017 Gigondas Cuvée 1806 is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that was destemmed and brought up in tank and older barrels. It’s not bottled, but nevertheless appears to be one of the finest examples from this estate to date, with beautiful kirsch fruit, notes of garrigue, ground pepper, and earth, medium to full body, and a layered, fleshy, sexy texture. It’s a no brainer purchase.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2020 Nicely rendered, with a focused core of cassis and bitter cherry fruit, lined with subtle bergamot, garrigue and red tea notes. Reveals a dusting of sandalwood on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2028. 4,900 cases made, 850 cases imported.RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 An 80-20 Grenache-Syrah blend, the 2017 Gigondas boasts blackberry and mulberry fruit. It’s dark and intense but already approachable, being full-bodied, supple and graced with soft, gentle tannins. Crisp acids on the finish make a pleasant counterpoint without being jarring, serving to bring focus and length. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2020 Flavors of raspberry preserve and plum compote are plush and primary in this deeply concentrated 80–20 blend of Grenache and Syrah. Forward in fruit and generously spiced, it’s an approachable but elegant sip to enjoy now through 2025.
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Apr 2022 The certified-organic 2020 Honoro Vera Organic was produced with Monastrell that fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with selected indigenous yeasts and was bottled unoaked. It’s quite similar to the regular Monastrell with 14.5% alcohol and a fruit-driven and juicy personality. It has notes of ripe black fruit and aromatic herbs, juicy, hedonistic and tasty, and it’s a very good value and apt for the table. Balanced and harmonious, perhaps a little more concentrated than the regular Honoro Vera Monastrell. A bargain. 216,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021.
WS9494 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22 The Matton-Farnet brothers, Jean-Etienne and François, have managed their family estate since the 1990s, blending this wine from estate and purchased fruit. It feels substantive from the get-go, its core of dark flavor distant at first, slowly coming into focus along its structured length. With air, stemmy savor gives complexity to the cherry notes. The wine is airy and open, though, a faint sweetness making it all the more quaffable—that expansiveness brought my mind to a pâtisserie window, electric-red macerated berries perched atop puffy layers of pastry dough.VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2022 Light, vivid orange. Spice-accented redcurrant, strawberry and floral scents pick up a hint of orange zest with air. Racy and focused on the palate, offering fresh citrus fruit and red berry flavors and a spicy hint of white pepper. Finishes long and precise, with repeating spiciness and a touch of chalky minerality. (Josh Raynolds)SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2022 Fresh and breezy, with white cherry and white peach notes backed by a light hint of fleur de sel. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Tibouren. Drink now. 60,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported. (James Molesworth)
