Rombauer Carneros Merlot 2016

(1/31/2019) "Incorporating 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Merlot is made from the same cloth and has a sweetly fruited, charming, delicious style as well as lots of red and black currants, black cherry, graphite, and chocolaty herb aromas and flavors. It's a sexy, delicious effort to drink over the coming 4-6 years."

(1/31/2019) "Made by the talented Anna Monticelli, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a smoking value that competes with wines that run 2-3 times its price. Deep, layered notes of cassis, toasted spices, graphite, and obvious minerality emerge from this medium to full-bodied, ripe, sexy, yet perfectly balanced Napa Valley Cabernet that's drinking beautifully today. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec, aged 20 months in 50% new French oak, it over-delivers and will keep for 10-15 years. Maturity 2019 - 2034."

(3/31/2019) "A smoky, vegetal element underscores the fading cherry, strawberry, wild herb and floral flavors in this vivid red. The racy structure drives the energetic finish, which echoes the mix of fruit and vegetal notes, adding a mineral accent. Drink now through 2033. 1,500 cases made."

La Niverdiere "Resilience" Chinon Rouge 2016
94
Our Score
(3/2019) For a pure expression of red wine sourced from limestone soils, you have to check out this stunning single site Cabernet Franc from a tiny grower in Chinon, selected by the talented Thomas Calder. This beauty is dense, layered with black and red fruits, black pepper, bell pepper and chalky, white rock minerality. The wine will benefit from an additional 3-4 years of age but will drink quite nicely now. Just lovely.

Our Score
(8/2018) Made from 70% Cinsault and 30% Grenache, this certified organic Provencal estate has produced an outstanding Rose.

The Vial family has owned this estate for five generations and the experience with the land shines through. A definite case-buy candidate. Bravo!

David Duband Bourgogne Rouge 2016
92
Our Score
(3/2019) Don't let the simple "Bourgogne" appellation fool you on this gorgeous red Burgundy from David Duband. The grapes that go into this wine are from 40-year-old vines located in Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-St. Denis. They are picked and sorted by hand and then fermented with 40% whole clusters. Gentle aging in French oak barrels, 30% which are new, lends to the silky and soft texture. The wine is clean and fresh red fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate are accented by beautiful red floral tones and subtle oak spices. Elegant and totally delicious to drink, this beauty is priced right in the sweet spot for a red Burgundy of this quality.

Antonio Madeira "Vinhas Velhas" Dao Tinto 2015
91+
Our Score
(3/2019) Antonio Madeira is passionate about the traditions and heritage of the Dao's Serra Da Estrela subzone and has nearly single-handedly rescued and preserved some of its historical vineyards from abandonment. This red field blend comes from 50-100-year-old vines of traditional varietals including Baga, Tinta Amarela, and Jaen. It is a beautiful expression of the region with dark red fruits, warm rocky earth, leather, cured meat and cracked black pepper. This dry red wine pairs best with smoked and braised meats.

(3/2019) Carignan and Grenache from vines over 75 years old are co-fermented with Cabernet Sauvignon using native yeasts to create this astounding blend. Black cherry, raspberry and anise aromas and flavors with pronounced acidity and tannin make this natural wine both fun and formidable.
