A.A. Badenhorst "Caperitif Kaapse Dief No.6" Swartland Aperitif Wine NV
The following review applied to the previous lot of this production from Adi Badenhorst, but we feel it is fully represented of this hyper-unique Aperitivo from South Africa. A "Ghost Ingredient" no-more!

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(5/2017) "(17.5% alcohol; a sweet Vermouth made from Chenin Blanc flavored with Quinchona bark and 35 botanicals and sweetened with grape sugar; this is Lot #5): Copper-orange color. Knockout, endlessly complex perfume of orange blossom, cinnamon Red Hots, clove, ginger and mint. A silky, umami-like texture is utterly seamless and smooth. Hints of griotte cherry, orange zest, fynbos and tree bark are lifted by a strong spicy character. Wonderfully complex, moderately sweet and long, with a finishing note of bitter orange giving the finish a drier quality and great refreshment value. I bet you can't drink just one glass. In partnership with Danish mixologist Lars-Erik Schmidt, Adi Badenhorst reinvented an old South African product that disappeared in about 1910. Serve it on its own over ice with a slice of lemon, or with club soda. It's also remarkably versatile in cocktails."

(1/31/2019) "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County is outstanding and reveals a ruby/purple color, attractive notes of black cherry and blackberry fruits, plenty of tobacco leaf and graphite, medium body, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a classic Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes like it cost 3-4 times the price. It will keep for a decade."

Kabaj Goriska Brda "Ravan" Friulano 2013

(10/2016) "This friulano is shy at first, offering simple flavors of green pear in a slightly chewy texture. The wine gains complexity over several days, becoming creamier, with succulent peach and honeydew melon flavors in a honeyed richness. Vibrant acidity runs through the wine's core, keeping the flavors fresh and as cool as a cucumber on the way to a bone-dry finish."

Maloof Wines "Where Ya PJ's At?" Willamette Valley Pinot Gris/Riesling 2018
91+
Our Score
(9/2019) This singular blend of Pinot Gris and Riesling was produced to create a kind of rose without actually using any red fruit. The Pinot Gris is fermented on the skins for 21 days, a small portion via carbonic maceration, with the Riesling being fermented and pressed separately before blending, all with indigenous yeast and without fining or filtration. The result is a "rose" that exhibits a ton of dried red and white flowers on the nose supported by blood orange and juicy pink grapefruit. This is a staff favorite for its supreme drinkability and the fact that it simply tastes like nothing else out there. Only a few cases made it to Chicago so now is your chance!

Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco 2018

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(6/2019) "Luminous medium-dark straw yellow. Aromas and flavors of chamomile and balsamic oils along with hints of pear and minerals on the inviting nose. Enters a little subdued, but finishes very strong and long. This builds on you slowly; think of it more like a marathon runner rather than a 100 yards sprinter. Drinking window: 2019 - 2023."

(8/2019) "Bright red. Pure nose offers red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas complicated by herbs and minerals. Suave and rather tightly wound, but nicely lifted by salty minerality that accentuates the bright red fruit flavors. Finishes firmly tannic but not drying, with outstanding persistence. Simply a great entry level Etna Rosso. Drink 2019 - 2022."

Selbach-Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(6/28/2019) "Predominantly from the Zeltinger Himmelreich, the 2017 Riesling Kabinett is bright and subtle on the ripe, fruity, slightly mineral and herbal, very elegant and refined nose with its delicate slate aromas. Salty-piquant and fresh on the aromatic and fruity but lithe and crystalline palate, this is another Mosel Kabinett at its best. The sweetness of less than 30 grams per liter is just charming here, where it is combined with 9.5% alcohol. This is a highly stimulating, fresh and grippy Kabinett that you can enjoy even in the sun at 35 degrees Celsius. Drink Date 2020 - 2035."

(3/27/2019) "One of the finest vintages of this cuvee to date, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Les Champauvins (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre) is a brilliant, sexy, medium to full-bodied Cotes du Rhone that offers a spectacular bouquet of garrigue, peppery herbs, pine, and sweet red and black fruits. With beautiful complexity, a layered, seamless texture, notable tannins, and a great finish, it easily competes with any number of more expensive Chateauneuf-du-Papes and Gigondas. It's great today yet will keep for 7-8 years."

(4/30/2019) "Svelte, filled with rich toasty notes that flank the concentrated baked white fruit and dried tropical fruit flavors. Cream and spice notes power the luscious finish. Drink now through 2024. 645 cases made."
