Fossil & Fawn Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2019
90+
Our Score
(10/2020) Here is another great vintage of this fun and delicious Pinot Gris, picked at perfect ripeness between showers in a rainy season. The grapes were fermented 40% whole-cluster with 30 days of skin maceration, yielding a category-defying wine with a deep pink hue. With powerful notes of blood orange, red plum, wild strawberry and rose petals, these perfumed aromas intermingle with a juicy, supple palate eased along by very subtle tannins - versatile alongside a broad spectrum, but will shine with seafood or fruit salad.

(10/2019) "This brisk cabernet captures the scent of the jarrah forest along the Margaret River coast, a cool, herbal and earthy savor that pervades its tart flavors of plum and strawberry. The tannins are tight, with the sleekness of pencil lead, carrying the fruit without getting in the way. Pour it with lacquered duck."

Fond Cypres "Cypres de Toi" Blanc 2019
90+
Our Score
(10/2020) Grown on calcareous soil and blue marl and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, this is a lean and clean Chardonnay that packs in a ton of character. Green apple, lime rind and lemon juice accompany notes of herbs de Provence and wet stone with wonderful texture on its medium-bodied palate. Fresh and lively, but with significant depth and structure, this will prove an excellent everyday wine.

BLANKbottle "Pseudonym" Western Cape Cinsault 2019
91
Our Score
(10/2020) Blankbottle winemaker Pieter Walser is a maverick, his winemaking approach is: you give him fantastic grapes, he'll give you fantastic wine. They don't necessarily need to be from a fabled 200-year-old historic vineyard, planted on southwest facing volcanic slopes, for him to make fantastic wine. He has turned into something of an expert grape-hunter. This ideology brings us to the story of "Pseudonym". Pieter was at the property of a farmer from whom he buys grapes, and noticed a small vineyard in a little valley that he had never seen picked. When Pieter asked why the farmer never sold from that vineyard, he learned the birds in that valley pick the vines clean every year, so come harvest time - there aren't enough grapes. When Pieter found out the vines were 60+ years old, it piqued his interest. He made the farmer a deal, Pieter would buy bird nets to protect the fruit if he sold only to Pieter at harvest. It ended up being a great gamble because Pseudonym is one of our favorite Blankbottle's wines to date. The nose is super-fresh, bursting with lively red fruit. A light and bright, but rambunctious, palate features bouncy acidity, great fruit, a smidge of black tea, and pretty floral aspects. This vibrant, juicy 100% Cinsault is everything you want in an easy-drinking wine and would go great with grilled chicken tacos. Drink now!

Alphonse Mellot "La Moussiere" Sancerre Rouge 2016
"Sancerre is white" we hear you say? Not always! We beg Burgundy fans to try this special Pinot while our supply lasts, as it usually trades over $30 a bottle and shouldn't be here very long.
90
Our Score
(10/2020) This rarity is from the single vineyard of "La Moussiere", its up to 45-year-old Pinot Noir vines farmed with certified biodynamic methods and its fruit provides you an exciting experience! This Pinot opens with "tres francais" sous bois notes, but there's a ton of focussed red cherry fruit, with cinnamon spice highlights. The intensely fruitted palate is sappy and palate-staining. The long, layered and finely structured finish is impressive. This wine is tasty now and should continue to evolve positively, pair this with duck or quail anytime over the next five years.

(12/31/2019) "Green apple and white spring flower shape the enticing nose on this fragrant sparkler. The silky polished palate doles out Bartlett pear, lemon zest and nectarine alongside a dollop of ginger. Fresh acidity and a creamy mousse provide the backdrop."

Quinta do Infantado Late Bottled Vintage Port 2013
91+
Our Score
(10/2020) We've long touted the "LBV" subsection of Port as one of the finest values available. That said, we are particularly smitten with this particular bottling from the tremendous smaller Louis/Dressner grower, Quinta do Infantado. The house style is drier than most Port producers - picking ripe super-high quality fruit only from their own A-grade vineyards. Ripe fruit vinified drier with less fermentation-arresting brandy added than most gives a more "wine-like" Port. Rich lively raspberry, black plum, pan searings, grilled rosemary, great acidity, with significant structure. This traditional unfiltered style comes with a standard, long driven cork and can cellar for a number of years - but we think its energetic youthfulness is perfect now! If feeling indulgent, this is one Port that could pair with a blue cheese and candied walnut topped filet finished with a sauce of itself!

Castellare di Castellina Chianti Classico 2018
92
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2020) "The 2018 Chianti Classico is an absolutely joyous wine. Bright red cherry fruit, tangy acids and sweet floral notes all run a translucent, super-expressive Chianti Classico that quite frankly knocks it out of the park. The 2018 is so delineated, so vibrant and just so incredibly delicious. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. The oak needs a bit of time to fully integrate, but it already has over the last few months. This is what Sangiovese (called Sangioveto here) and Chianti Classico are all about. Best of all, the 2018 is a screaming value. Don't miss it."
