James Suckling
(4/16/2020) "What a stunning nose of crushed berries, fresh flowers, sandalwood and light vineyard dust. Black olives, too. Very complex. Full-bodied with a beautiful, dense palate of blackberries, chocolate, walnuts and cigar box. Fantastic length and composure. The tannin just rolls over the palate. Very structured. The most classically structured wine ever from here. Goes on for minutes. Outrageous and so polished. A blend of 48% carmenere, 26% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2025."

Cheval des Andes Mendoza Red 2017

James Halliday
(12/4/2020) "This is the greatest Cheval des Andes ever. Discrete aromas of blackberries, flowers, stone and licorice. So perfumed. The integration of fruit, tannins and acidity is fantastic. Full-bodied, tight and solid with beautiful depth and integrity. Extremely long and exciting. Complex and compelling with such refinement and length. A blend of 62% malbec and 38% cabernet sauvignon. Available in September 2020. Better after 2024."

Philip Togni "Estate Bottled" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A vintage from Togni that has early drinkability, we like the sounds of that. Yum!

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(1/2020) "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is one of the more open-knit Cabernets I have ever tasted here, it will drink well pretty much upon release, which is highly unusual for this typically slow-to-mature Cabernet. Floral and savory overtones add shades of nuance to a core of expressive red-toned fruit in a sensual, totally alluring Cabernet from the Togni family. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2037"

Domaine de la Pepiere "Granite de Clisson" Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2017
92
Our Score
(1/2021) Domaine de la Pepiere owner Marc Ollivier has fully retired as of 2019. The estate is in the very capable hands of partners Remi Branger and Gwenaelle Croix. Pepiere has been one of our most favorite Muscadet growers for years, with their single Cru "Clisson" bottling being one of their most distinctive bone dry whites. The oldest vines from this vineyard were planted in 1929 and on average the vines are 60 years old. The wine is generous, dense and ageworthy, packed with minerality, salinity and quiet citrus/orchard fruits.

Alice et Oliver De Moor "Coteau de Rosette" Chablis 2018
Winemaker's Notes
"This wine is a single vineyard bottling from a one hectare parcel in the De Moor's village of Courgis. They consider this to be their best plot (with the exception of the 1er Crus). It has a particularly heavy amount of clay for their vineyards. Fermentation and aging can occur in different vessels each vintage depending on the global quantities. For this wine, a small foudre (1200l) and 228l barrels and are usually used along with enamel lined tanks in generous vintages. Long alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aged 11 months on the lees without racking or cold stabilization. The wine is normally bottled without filtration but may go through a light, non sterile one if deemed necessary."

Wine Advocate
(12/28/2018) "Picked on September 28, Ott's 2017 Gruner Veltliner Ried Feuersbrunner Spiegel 1OTW is very clear, subtle and elegant on the distinctive nose. In early September 2018, the nose displayed white stone fruits intertwined with refreshing, refining gravelly and floral notes. Later that month, the wine showed tropical notes on the intensely fruity, elegant, sexy nose. Full-bodied, rich and dense on the palate, with intense, lush, concentrated fruit and vitalizing, fine acidity, this is a very persistent and powerful Veltliner with a very long, forward, mineral and tensioned finish. This is a powerful but elegant giant and needs time to gain finesse and transparency. The elegance here, however, is remarkable. Tasted twice in early and late September 2018. Drink Date: 2020 - 2035."

Wine Enthusiast
(3/1/2020) "A whiff of passion fruit lends a tropical overtone to the full-on ripeness on the nose. The palate continues with this swishing, generous juiciness that showcases Mirabelle plum and ripe pear. Structural elements of bitter pith, salty yeast and tingling zest complete the picture of a most concentrated, energetic and driven wine that resonates with life and flavor. This is warm and powerful but beautifully streamlined. Drink 2030-2045."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(2/2018) "The 2015 Latour-Martillac is a powerful, muscular wine. Beams of tannin give the 2015 its potent, brooding personality. Savory herbs, new leather, wild cherry, smoke and kirsch get an extra kick of intensity from bright acids and pointed yet well-integrated tannins. Today, the 2015 is a bit reticent and tightly wound, but that should be less of an issue with more time in bottle."

(2/28/2019) "A rocking effort that brings the goods, the 2016 Chateau Montviel is a tiny production cuvee based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc brought up in new barrels. Surpassing the terrific 2015, it boasts a deep purple color as well as a mammoth bouquet of blackberries, plums, crushed violets, and forest floor. Deep, full-bodied, beautifully textured, yet still lively and weightless on the palate, it's the real deal and is a brilliant Pomerol to drink over the coming 15-20 years."

A deep red, the Vie Caprice offers terrific freshness and density of fruit, but always in the lifted style that makes these wines so unique and compelling. Sweet red cherry, red plum, blood orange, rose petal and cinnamon lead into the soft, open-knit finish. This is such a gorgeous wine. Drinking window: 2020 - 2028."

Wine Advocate
(8/31/2020) "The second wine, in the Bordeaux sense, the 2017 Le Petit Clos has a different blend from the grand vin, in this case 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carmenere, 9% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and is quite different every year. It fermented in 7,500-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and a four- to five-week maceration followed by malolactic in new barriques. It matured in new French barriques for six months and spent the next 16 months in first, second and third use French oak barrels. I found a lot less influence from the oak here than in the "grand vin" and a more classical profile with dominance of the Cabernet Sauvignon-ripe without excess, powerful and concentrated but with very good balance. It's quite approachable even when it feels quite youthful; the tannins are round, and the wine is neat and velvety with some creaminess. It has an elegant profile within the powerful character of the vintage. It surpassed my expectations, and I find it every bit as good as the 2016. Drink Date: 2020 - 2027."

(1/2021) Jean-Pierre Monier farms apricots, cherries and world-class wine grapes in the Northern Rhone appellation of St. Joseph. Monier bottles primarily red wines, but he also makes this delicious biodynamic-certified white from 30+-year old Marsanne vines. Rich in texture, with flavors of pear, white peach, almond and honey, the wine is yummy now and will drink beautifully for another 3-5 years.

Alice et Olivier De Moor "Le Vendangeur Masque" Chablis 2018
Winemaker's Notes
"This wine comes from purchased fruit sourced from two organic parcels, in total the equivalent of 1.10 hectares of land. The first parcel was planted in 1980 and is exposed West, the second in 2005 and exposed South. Fermentation and aging can occur in different vessels each vintage depending on the global quantities.

Tenuta di Castellaro "Nero Ossidiana" 2016

Wine Advocate
(10/17/2019) "The 2016 Nero Ossidiana is a blend of mostly Corinto Nero (90%) with Nero d'Avola in a supporting role. This is a delightful wine that shows the glossy intensity and shine of a Burgundian grape, despite its origins in one of the warmest and most extreme islands in the sun-soaked heart of the Mediterranean Sea. Fruit for this wine is grown in the Aeolian Archipelago. Polished tones of bright berry and cassis give the wine lots of energy and buoyancy. The results are elegant, floral and very easy on the nose and mouth. I think this wine is just terrific, especially with a grilled sausage. Some 12,000 bottles were put out. Drink 2019 - 2026."

(1/2019) "One of the sleepers in Saint-Emilion, Pressac is once again striking in 2016. Big and vertical in feel, with tremendous fruit density, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Inky dark fruit, graphite, menthol, plum and lavender mesh together in this dark, potent wine. The 2016 is wonderfully fresh and also quite structured. Readers will have to be patient, as it will be a few years before all the wine starts to drink well. As always, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenere play an important role in shaping the personality of one of Bordeaux's most unique and intriguing wines. The 2016 spent 18 months in oak, 50% new. Alain Raynaud consults. Tasted three times."

Our Score
(1/2021) Drinking like a Tuscan/Rhone red, this serious red wine is both powerful and elegant. Patrimonio is an appellation on the French island of Corsica, yet it's actually geographically closer to Italy, thus the blend of 90% Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) and 10% Grenache. Earthy and slightly barnyard, this chewy red gives lovely dried red fruits, red florals, smoke, dried herbs and cured meat notes, all atop a grippy, brisk structure. Pair with rack of lamb, sausage pastas or pepperoni pizza!

(1/2021) Florian Lauer is an exceptional winemaker in Mosel who has gone from underrated to well-known in the last decade. The Fass 6 "Senior" is just another example of the incredibly focused wines we have come to expect. With searing acidity, bursting lemon/lime flavors, and a lingering stony, white flower finish this is easily one of the best declassified Riesling in Mosel. Even better is how the wine gets its name...Fass 6 (Fass is German for barrel) "Senior" is affectionately named after Florian Lauer's grandfather, Peter. Every vintage he would taste through the year's wines and select one barrel, for his personal consumption. On this barrel, he would write "Senior." According to Florian, eight or nine times out of ten, his grandfather would pick Fass 6.

(1/2021) Domaine de la Pepiere owner Marc Ollivier has fully retired as of 2019. The estate is in the very capable hands of partners Remi Branger and Gwenaelle Croix. Pepiere has been one of our most favorite Muscadet growers for years, with their single Cru "Clisson" bottling being one of their most distinctive bone dry whites. The oldest vines from this vineyard were planted in 1929 and on average the vines are 60 years old. The wine is generous, dense and ageworthy, packed with minerality, salinity and quiet citrus/orchard fruits.

(1/2021) One of our favorite pet nats, the Bajta is a hidden gem coming out of Slovenia. This is the perfect wine to enjoy by itself or with a little assorted cheese. Made from 100% Blaufrankisch, the Bajta has a fairly classic nose, displaying raspberry, strawberry, cherry and a touch of yeast. Light bodied with refreshing acidity and minerality this is a wine that is a little too easy to drink. Great for starting off a meal or bringing to the park!

Flat Brim Wines "Cicada's Song" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2019

Our Score
(1/2021) Sourced from the Calamity Hill vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills sub-region of Oregon's Willamette Valley, this Pinot Noir is fermented whole-cluster with native yeasts then raised in neutral oak for eight months. Exuberantly fresh and densely packed with fruit, the nose is blackberry jam, Herbs de Provence and white pepper followed by tart ripe cherry on the palate. This is supported by a granitic minerality and subtle earthiness that adds structure to its delightful juiciness. Very crushable.

Peter Lauer "Barrel X" Mosel Feinherb Riesling 2019

Mosel Fine Wines
(6/2020) "The 2019er Riesling Feinherb Barrel X comes for half from Estate vineyards and for half from purchased fruit, and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (20 g/l). This bright-colored wine offers a stunning nose of white peach, apple, floral elements, and fine spices. The wine proves remarkably intense on the otherwise superbly lively and engaging palate, and leaves a terrific, mouthwatering feel in the light and elegant finish. The aftertaste is all about presence packed into lemony zest. This is easily the best Barrel X we have ever tasted. What a success! 2021- 2029"

(1/2020) Here's a beautiful Garnacha from the mountainous Sierra de Gredos region in Spain. Hand harvested from old bush vines, the grapes are fermented using native yeasts, aged six months in French oak barrels and another six months in steel tank. Pleasant floral aromas are followed by cherry, strawberry and orange peel. This yummy ripe fruit is flanked by stunning minerality, a slatey goodness that lingers on the beautiful finish. We're still tasting it! The depth, structure and mouthfeel for a bottle under $20 really surprised us. This is a food wine, so give it a try with some grilled meat or steak tacos.

Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, fresh and elegant on the palate, it's another beautiful wine from this estate that's well worth your time and money. The blend is 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Carignan that was brought up all in tank."

The palate delivers captivating subtle sweetness and insidious flavor intensity, with its red and darker berry flavors showing excellent delineation. Harmonious acidity lifts the middle palate but the wine's firm spine of dusty tannins calls for a couple years of patience. This serious Cabernet finishes with excellent length. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2027."

It will be even better with a year of bottle age, and keep for a decade. This was only partially destemmed and saw 16 months in 40% new French oak."

The 2019 Chardonnay Catena combines grapes from Gualtallary & Villa Bastías in Tupungato, El Cepillo in San Carlos and Agrelo in Lujan de Cuyo; it is a vivid vindication of that strategy. Well-ripened, it offers penetrating pear and green apple aromas over a solid bed of herbs and oak, with hints of vanilla, hazelnut and caramel. Gentle but commercial with a velvety texture and taut, lively acidity, it's everything you could ask for from a New World Chardonnay."

This juicy blend, from one of our favorite producers, is composed of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto with small bits of more rare grapes like Freisa, Albarossa and Pinot Nero. Appealing from the first pour, jumping out with candied red berry and floral aromas. The palate is equally delightful, dry and medium-bodied with swaths of red cherry and raspberry complicated by subtle tea and spice notes on the finish. See for yourself why this wine has become a Vin Chicago staff and customer favorite for easy, everyday drinking enjoyment.
