Vilmart et Cie "Coeur de Cuvee" Brut Champagne 2010
Legendary importer Terry Theise awards this wine +++/+++ "No surprise: This is gorgeous. Will there be a better 2010? And will Laurent always make the best wine in normal or 'difficult' vintages? Not his best wines, mind you-the best in all Champagne? This is another in a noble chain of manic vintages (2001, 2007) as separate from the rich sedate vintages (2006, 2009). It's electric, quivering, goose-fleshed, shimmery yet hedonic yet weightless yet as energetic as a kitten jumping after a laser."

(11/2018) "One of the things I admire most about Laurent Champs is his ability to turn out not just good - but great - wines in challenging years in which other growers struggle. Vibrant, nuanced and breathtakingly beautiful, the 2010 is simply mesmerizing. A kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures dazzles all the senses in a taut, vibrant Champagne that will stop readers dead in their tracks. The 2010 is every bit that good. A few years in the cellar should help the wine soften a bit, but it is incredibly beautiful today. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2017. Drink 2020 - 2032."

Siro Pacenti "PS" Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015

James Suckling
(1/26/2021) "The purity of fruit here is so stunning with blackberry, black-cherry, black-truffle and floral aromas, as well as orange peel. It's full-bodied and very compact with ultra fine tannins that are copious and balanced. It goes on for such a long time. The purity and precision is something else, not to mention the length and depth. So delicious now and a joy to taste. Drink or hold."

(7/23/2020) "You will be very favorably impressed by the delicate and floral aromas that peel softly off the bouquet in the Bruna Grimaldi 2016 Barolo Badarina. There are distinct notes of wild rose and pressed violets that pop out with playful intensity. Badarina is located in Serralunga d'Alba, known for some of the most powerful expressions of Nebbiolo in the appellation. This estate farms a 1.8-hectare plot at 450 meters above sea level with a mix of white marl and calcareous deposits with layers of sandstone. In the end result, this wine exudes elegance more than it does power per se. I feel the tighter grip of the young tannins on the close, but otherwise, this wine will be remembered for its overall finesse and startling clarity. Like the other wines in this group, this Barolo is fermented with submerged cap and completes its secondary fermentation in cement tanks. It refines in large oak casks for 30 months. Some 6,000 bottles will hit the market in July 2020. Drink Date: 2024 - 2040"

(10/2018) "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Bright, powerful and pulsing with energy, the 2016 possesses stunning textural depth allied to a real sense of drive. Black cherry, tobacco, menthol, sage and licorice give this Cabernet from southern Oakville much of its distinctive personality. In this tasting, the 2016 Ulysses simply towers with pedigree and character. I loved it. Although the track record is short, the 2016 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and Tod Mostero have made at Ulysses. Drinking window: 2026 - 2046"

Our Score
(5/2021) From a 1.1 acre parcel of Wadensvil Clone vines planted in 1998, this special Pinot displays powerful acidity and tension along with a "spring like" array of fruit, including white raspberry, sour cherry and wild strawberry tones along with just opened lilac florals. Annual production is typically in the 200 to 300 case range. We are thrilled to, once again, have been able to get our hands on a small supply.

(7/23/2020) "Bruna Grimaldi's 2016 Barolo Camilla shows a fine and silky texture with just enough weight and texture to support elegant and fragile aromas. The bouquet reveals a subtle approach, followed by wild berry, violet, spice, tar and smoke that follow with slow and seamless transitions. The tannins are young and tight, but the texture of the wine is fine and silky overall. Fruit for this wine is a blend from the Raviole, Borzone, Roere di Santa Maria, Bricco Ambrogio and Badarina vineyards. Given the more-pronounced structure of the vintage, I have extended the drinking window, allowing for extra lead time for cellar aging. Drink Date:2024 - 2038"

Black cherry, leather, lavender, espresso and spice all develop effortlessly. With air, the 2016 can be enjoyed now, but it clearly has the substance to age well for years to come.

(9/30/2019) "Of these two top-shelf wines from Masi, I like the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Mazzano even better than the Capolongo di Torbe in 2011. The Mazzano shows more focus and more sharpness, and it opens nicely. It is surely one of the great Amarones on the market today, and this warm vintage especially brings forth the darkness, thickness and concentration you're looking for in this tradition. This powerful and indestructible wine with 16% alcohol is a blend of 75% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. The wine is beautiful, opulent and deep, but it's hard to imagine a food pairing possibility that isn't wood-fired meat marinated in spicy mesquite sauce. Those exotic flavors are similar to what you find in this wine. It ages in 600-liter oak barrels for three years, with a combination of new and used wood. The Mazzano Vineyard is located in the village of Negrar and shows loose marl soils planted in terraces supported by dry stone walls. The grapes thrive at 350 to 415 meters above sea level. Drink Date: 2020 - 2040."

Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2015 Altura Maxima Malbec is all black olives, decayed violets and malted cereals, a wild and unusual wine with high ripeness but a medium-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins. It is produced with grapes from their seven-year-old vineyard at 3,100 meters in altitude, the highest vineyard in the world producing commercial wine. The grapes were harvested fully ripe at the end of April, which is the equivalent to the end of October in the northern hemisphere. Here, latitude compensates for the altitude, and the grapes manage to ripen fully with strong exposure to sunlight. It matured in fourth use French barriques for 24 months. 6,900 bottles were filled in December 2017. Drink Date: 2018 - 2025."

R. Pouillon & Fils "Solera" Extra-Brut Premier Cru Champagne NV
94+
Our Score
(5/2021) Culled from a unique blend that dates back to 1997, the "Solera" combines 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir all grown from their biodynamically farmed vines within Mareuil-sur-Ay. Every year, 30% of the large "Solera" is racked off for secondary fermentation and replaced with 30% new wine. The result of this painstaking process is a wine that manages a continuous representation of terroir. This batch, disgorged in the autumn of 2020, is gorgeous. We drank our sample bottle over several days to experience the full depth of what this bubbly offers. With air, the serious complexity and length of Solera's flavor are gloriously revealed, including notes of nectarine, lemon butter, apple blossom and honeysuckle. With each ever-quicker sip, you'll delight in the pure mineral-themed, citrus-tinged, white rock tones only seen in great Champagnes. A limited-quantity sparkler that will drink gorgeously now and over the next 5-10 years!

(6/10/2019) "Hints of matchstick and pain grille add breadth to the mostly white orchard fruit and citrus aromas that display some exotic elements in the form of mandarin orange and tangerine peel. The generously proportioned and lavishly rich middle weight flavors possess a relatively sophisticated mouth feel that continues onto the attractively stony, dry and clean finish. This delicious and relatively forward effort's underlying material should permit more to develop. Drink: 2022+."

Raventos i Blanc "De Nit" Cava Rose 2016
92
Wine Advocate
(8/2019) "The very pale sparkling rose 2016 De Nit is a blend of Xarello, Macabeo, Parellada and around 5% Monastrell-so, it's not a bleeding of red grapes but a blend of white grapes with a bit of red to give it a little color. This is their signature rose, with the soul of a white. It keeps all the character of the place and has a little bit of color, very little-it's extremely pale, and some could say it's a white. It has the dry, austere and direct palate of all of these wines, a dry and tasty palate. 2016 seems like a superb vintage for this bottling. This is adjusted to three grams of residual sugar."

Vinous, Eric Guido
(6/2021) "A captivating display of blackberry, plum, grilled herbs, cedar dust and balsamic spice wafts up from the 2016 Mille e una Notte. It's silky in texture and polished in feel, offering ripe black fruits lifted by cooling minerality. This remains tightly wound up in its youthful state, as a fine coating of sweet tannin settles in to create a structured finale, with pretty purple-tinged florals and hints of licorice lingering long. The 2016 may be one of the most refined expressions of Mille e Una Notte that I've ever tasted, but it will need some time to show its best. This is composed primarily of Nero D'Avola, Petit Verdot and Syrah, which is expertly refined in new barriques for 14 months. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2032."

It's incredible in the mouth, its full flavors delivered in a silky, ultra fresh and lifted frame, and it finishes with loads of floral nuance. Wow! 1,653 cases produced. Drink Date: 2020 - 2032."

(6/2021) "The 2018 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo is dark and rich in the glass, wafting up with notes of cherry sauce, plums and Indian spice. It is deeply textural and velvety in feel, with ripe black instead of red notes, lifted by cooling mineral and minty herbs. There's an almost balsamic twang to the finish, as this leaves the palate drenched in primary fruit and grippy tannins. The Feudo di Mezzo is a bit of a bruiser in 2018, yet a few years of cellaring should help bring it into focus. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028."

But the palate is very fruit-focused and fine. Dense, clay-derived tannins, carrying rich flavors of ripe dark cherries. Fresh finish and good focus. Organically farmed grapes. Drink or hold for five to six years."

(3/1/2021) "This is a sun-kissed, plushly textured blend of equal parts Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Roussanne and Clairette, sourced entirely from limestone soils. Vinified and matured in 20-25% new French oak, it's supple but freshly balanced and highlights pristine yellow apple, apricot and grapefruit flavors. While it drinks beautifully already, it should gain savory complexities through 2028."

(6/14/2019) "I loved the 2016 Pinot Noir Mardikian Estate Vineyard, and it comes from a vineyard on the Sonoma Coast and is a mix of clones, was destemmed, and spent 11 months in 38% new French oak. Beautiful sweet red fruits, passion fruit, Christmas spice, and orange rind notes all flow to a medium-bodied, vibrant Pinot Noir that has integrated acidity, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's going to benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep for upwards of a decade. Maturity: 2019 - 2029."

Ripe strawberries, dried flowers, garrigue and dusty pebble/soil notes flow to a medium to full-bodied, silky, impeccably balanced 2015 that's ideal for drinking anytime over the coming 12-15 years. Like a lot of these 2015s, it's more about finesse and elegance than power and richness, yet has solid underlying structure. In addition, this cuvee has a terrific track record for aging gracefully, and it's going to see its 20th birthday in fine form."

(12/30/2020) "I was surprised by the bright berry aromas of the 2017 Idus, with notes of raspberries and blackberries and the oak in the background, adding spiciness but not stealing the show. This comes from selected grapes from old vines purchased from local growers; it's a blend of 68% Carinena and 32% Garnacha with 15.5% alcohol that doesn't show heat or alcohol and comes through as balanced, juicy and powerful but also elegant. It has fine-grained tannins and a dry, long finish. The Carinena matured in new and second use 225- and 300-liter French oak barrels and the Garnacha in tinaja and 1,50-liter oak vats for 14 months during which time it was racked once. 6,860 bottles were filled in May 2019. Drink Date: 2020 - 2026."

Las Jaras "Sweet Berry Wine" Mendocino County Red Blend 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"The 2019 release of our flagship wine in one word? Finesse. It was a wet spring followed by a warm, dry growing season with few extreme heat events. This resulted in a refined wine that is powerful but quite suave; it is tasting great upon release! The wine has rich aromas of dark cherry, plum and blackberry as well as hints of cocoa nibs, allspice, and damp earth. Take a sip and you'll find blue fruit, deep cherry, caraway, and saline earth with supple tannins and a long, savory finish. 52% Carignan, 25% Zinfandel, 12% Charbono, 11% Petite Sirah."

Kelley Fox "Mirabai" Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2019
Kelley assembled her 2019 Mirabai from two famous Dundee Hills sites - 75% from Maresh Vineyard and 25% from Weber Vineyard. The result is a wine that tells the story of why Oregon Pinot Noir is so great, balancing pleasure with place, 12.5% and deliciously age-worthy.

Winemaker's Notes
"Oh, I love 2019. The Mirabai 2019 is a light-to-medium, youthful blue-red with brilliant transparency. Like all of my other 2019 bottlings, it is certainly lighter in colour and more nuanced than my 2018. True to the Dundee Hills, this Mirabai begins with a beautiful, fresh strawberry nose with subtle spices and tastes of the same carried by the lightest drape of silk. To me, this luminous Mirabai is both heart-warming and uplifting."

Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino 2019

Decanter
(3/5/2021) "Established in the 1970s, the Pacenti estate bottled its first vintage in 1988 and since then has grown, following a professional approach to viticulture with a particular attention to phenolic ripeness. The grapes used for the Rosso di Montalcino come from vines between 15 and 25 years old, aged in second-fill French oak barrels. The 2019 is full of plush fruit: raspberry and cherry, violet, liquorice stick and toast in depth, with ash and black pepper notes. Almost full on the palate, it shows well refined tannins with great youthful texture and an extremely fresh acidity, supported by the richness of fruit. Good structure for a Rosso. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2027."

(1/31/2020) "Uccelliera's 2017 Rapace is the most fruit-forward of the three vintages I tasted in this mini vertical (consisting of 2015, 2016 and 2017). This makes perfect sense given the scorching hot and dry conditions of this growing season. Rapace is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak for 18 months. The wine delivers ripe and dark fruit, with a subtle dusting of crushed mineral that becomes more prominent as the wine takes on air in the glass. Due to the difficulties of the vintage, production was reduced to 9,600 bottles. Drink Date: 2020 - 2028."

The palate is bright and laser-focused with squeaky-clean acidity and tangy flavours of tangerine and lemon zest. Tension-filled and simply delicious on the finish. Grapes are sourced from the Juliana Vineyard in Pope Valley and Alta Vista in Carneros, then whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented and aged in stainless barrels and 15% neutral French oak for six months. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2026."

Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse "Dauphin de Grand Puy Ducasse" Pauillac 2015
90
Our Score
(6/2021) Imagine getting to drink a red Bordeaux from a classified-growth producer in Pauillac, from one of the finest vintages of this millennium - all for less than $30. That's just what the "Dauphin" from Grand-Puy Ducasse provides. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the estate's younger vines (20 years old), is aged for a full-featured 16-18 months. You feel the warmth of the 2015 vintage here, it drinks like a meal! As if they bottled a peppered flank steak with a blackberry reduction, accented by dried red cherry, anise, dried thyme and a cocoa dusting - all rested on a charred cedar plank that was painted in blackstrap molasses. An intense yet harmonious, medium-bodied Bordeaux now ready for enjoyment - provided you allow it an hour in your decanter and pair with charred red meat.

(8/2020) "The 2016 Chianti Classico Gherardino is a bit compact at first, but, like many of these wines, it fleshes out beautifully with air. Black cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, licorice, spice and leather emerge with a bit of coaxing. I would cellar the 2016 for at least a few years. There is a lot of wine here. It would be a shame to miss it. Drinking window: 2024 - 2036."

Our Score
(6/2021) Barolo producer Ettore Germano in Piedmont makes this fresh and unique sparkler from 100% Nebbiolo from a single vintage (2019 for this batch) and we are smitten! Mouthwatering and elegant, these rose bubbles boast flavors of raspberry, strawberry, tangerine, bruised apple, ginger and spice. A lively palate, refreshing acidity and a hint of tannin balance this beauty perfectly. Drink on its own or pair with seafood, sushi and salads. However you enjoy this wine, it is positively delightful!

(10/17/2019) "Beautifully smooth and supple, the 2016 Sicilia Contessa Entellina Chiaranda was born in a slightly cooler vintage and shows a great sense of linearity and precision as a result. This Sicilian Chardonnay is fermented in steel, and only half of the total mass eventually goes into barrique and tonneaux for a brief six months of aging. The wine shows good depth and volume with orchard fruit and sweet nectarine. Drink Date: 2019 - 2026."

(6/2021) So fresh and alive in 2019, the "Reserve" Pinot Noir bottling from Patricia Green Cellars is an Oregon modern day classic. This means the cooler vintage provides textbook Willamette Valley energy, while the contemporary viticulture and winemaking style give deep color, fruit and texture. Jim Anderson's Pinot Noirs just keep getting better. Load up on this one because it's delicious, and sadly, there will be no 2020 produced!

It also makes some of the finest sparkling wines in Spain, with extended lees work and holding the wines in bottle for some time before release. There are 70 hectares of vines planted here. All of the wines are made from that estate fruit, which is not entirely common in the region. These Cavas should be on the short list of anyone who doubts just how great the wines can be. Light, lurid orange. Ripe red berries, tangerine and a floral nuance on the deeply perfumed nose. In a plush, ample style, showing good clarity and lift to the raspberry and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes long and supple, with a repeating floral note and a touch of smokiness. Aged on its lees for 18 months. Drinking window: 2021 - 2025."

Iconic "Myriad" Clements Hills Cinsault 2018
Winemaker's Notes
"Myriad Cinsualt is made 100% carbonic and sourced completely from the exciting new Spague Vineyard in the Clement Hills. Planted in 2018, this young vineyard is already showing a lot of promise in the first commercial fruit. Planted in red rocky loam soils on the western side of the Clement Hills, the site gets the benefit of the rocky soils the AVA is known for while still getting some nighttime cooling from the delta breezes typical of farther west sights. The grapes were feremented whole cluster under CO2 for 16 days before pressing and finishing fermentation in barrel. 2/3rds was then transferred to stainless steel while 1 barrel remained in neutral French oak. Malolactic fermentation was halted at roughly 60% to preserve freshness. Since the wine doesn't complete malo, it was filtered at bottling to prevent refermentation. When doing reseach on what to name this wine, we discovered Cinsualt has a Myriad of different names. Many of them hilarious- Blue Imperial, Mavro Kara Melkii, Pis De Chevre (goat utter), Poupe De Crabe (crab butt), Pousse De Chevre Rouge (Red Goat Shoot), to name a few. We gave all the names to the amazing artist Jesse Lonergan, known for his fantastical creature art, and told him to have fun with it. The result is a royal red goat riding a crab with a bubble cannon... and we couldn't be happier!"

Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic fruity scents of crushed black plums, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberries plus suggestions of camphor, cinnamon stick and chocolate box.

Brand Pfalz Riesling Feinherb 2020 1.0 LT
91
Our Score
(6/2021) The Brand Brothers quietly make some of the best values in Germany right now, pumping out some serious juice in the northern Pfalz region. Their focus is on making pure and honest wines. In a way, this sounds very simple. That is of course before you crack open one of their Liters and see the brightness, focus, and zest that shines out from within. Fresh peach, apricot, lemon zest are marked by just a touch of sweetness on the finish. Perfect when paired with spicy dishes and tailor made for cracking open in the heat, enjoy!

Domaine Luneau-Papin "La Grange" Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sevre et Maine Tire Sur Lie 2019
91
Our Score
(6/2021) Here's a tremendous, classic Muscadet from the revered Louis/Dressner import portfolio. Now both Ecocert organic and Demeter biodynamic certified, Luneau-Papin is better than ever. In this vintage, the ripe generous texture is complimented magnificently well with bracing, radiant brightness that is an enduring signature of their house style. A touch of fresh yellow pear and pineapple essence join a traditional melange of green apple, lemon twist and lively mineral notes. The palate is a layered, lip-smacking affair with intense salinity and high-end internal power providing more stuffing than you expect in fresh 12.5% white wine. We're doubtless this wine can age effortlessly in the medium term, and seafood pairings are unending.

Hild Elbling Trocken 2020
91
Our Score
(6/2021) Drinking Elbling is like drinking the uncompromising vigor and energy of the Mosel Region itself, yet seemingly different than everything it grows. This rare grape is grown in limestone-rich soils of the Obermosel, making a wine more akin to steely Chablis than the fruity Riesling made in the historic region it is perched over. Light-bodied, yet packed with intense citrus, chalk, and vibrant acidity that will keeps you coming back for more. A definite must-buy for the summer.

This very special one-time price turns one of the great values in the Port world into an even more remarkable buy. Supply is limited and one this gem is gone, it's gone!

Wine Advocate
(7/19/2018) "The 2013 Late Bottled Vintage Port is a field blend with 116 grams of residual sugar. It is a traditional, unfiltered LBV bottled in June 2017 with a long cork. This is elegance with deceptive power. Focused and tight, this is a bit closed just now, but you can already see how expressive the fruit will become with time. The tannins give fine support to the fruit, but they are ripe enough to allow you to dive in early. They will also allow this to age beautifully. This is a pretty fine LBV-Crasto doesn't make bad ones. It is tight enough so that it is worth being a little conservative in evaluation just now, but it should evolve well in the cellar. Now, look at that price. Traditionally styled LBVs are the best value in Port. This is more interesting than some Vintage Ports in this report. Drink Date: 2019 - 2038."
