Helmut Dolde "Linsenhofer" Wurttemberg Spatburgunder 2015
91+
Our Score
(7/2020) Taking advantage of the ideal diurnal temperatures and fog presence of his vineyards in Wurttemberg, Helmut Dolde is growing Spatburgunder that one might dare like to wines coming out of the Cote D'Or. His 2015 Linsenhofer was picked calcareous marl soils and fermented in an open vat with indigenous yeast, then aged for two years in 500L Swabian oak barrels. With plush notes of ripe cherry and raspberry supplemented by dried herbs and spice, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir is laden with crushed granite and juicy berry fruit and is drinking beautifully.

GraWu Vigneti delle Dolomiti Sauvignon Blanc 2018
91
Our Score
(10/2020) With grapes harvested from 1,300 feet of elevation in the Dolomites, this bright and high-toned wine makes you feel like you're on a fog-laden mountaintop. This Sauvignon Blanc is macerated for five days on the skins with indigenous yeast, then kept on the lees for twelve months in acacia barrels, yielding juice that strikes a lovely balance between fruit, texture and acidity. Aromas and flavors of lemon candy and pineapple are laid upon a limestone foundation accented by wisps of smoke with powdery tannins barely emerging on the medium-to-light-bodied finish. Only 2,000 bottles produced!

Cume do Avia "Colheita 5" Ribiero Tinto 2017
90
Our Score
(5/2019) The brothers behind Cume do Avia have a story to match the rugged landscape of their vineyards in Ribeiro. After inheriting an abandoned farm from their grandparents, they set upon planting long-forgotten indigenous varietals and farming them organically and biodynamically. They took out loans to purchase equipment and after several years of learning and experimentation, 2017 is the first true vintage. Comprised of 40% Caino Longo, 26% Brancellao and 34% Souson, Colleita 5's rawness is balanced by its elegance. Aged in hundred-year-old chestnut barrels, this light-bodied 11%er greets you with flowery notes of wild strawberry, cranberry and green herbs. A quintessential refreshment at cellar temperature.

Winemaker's Notes
"Pinot Noir grown on sandy loam in the Willamette Valley at 600 feet elevation. Verdelho, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Roussanne grown on sandy loam in the Columbia Valley at 1,600 feet elevation.

4 Monos "GR10" Vinos de Madrid Blanco 2018
91+
Our Score
(7/2020) 4 Monos is the moniker for four pals making incredible wine outside of Madrid, and they are particular champions of local varietal Albillo. The Gr10 Blanco is an Albillo-heavy blend (with co-stars Macabeo, Moscatel and Chelva) that is macerated whole-cluster, wild yeast fermented then left on the lees in neutral vessels for 6 months. The result is beautifully textured and round with aromas and flavors of pear nectar and papaya and notes of cheese rind on a limestone foundation. Its medium body is balanced by generous acidity and fruit, making it a knock-out for fans of Chablis or Savennieres.

(10/2020) Reflecting the perfect ripeness at which its grapes were picked, this Pinot Noir is plush, juicy and expressive. Fermented 30% whole-cluster with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral barrel for nine months, the wine is packed with aromas and flavors of ripe cherry and macerated strawberry, with layers of dried herbs and crushed rocks framed by fine tannins.

Methode Sauvage "Tierra Extrana" North Coast Cabernet Franc 2019
90+
Our Score
(2/2021) With the goal of replicating the cool climate Cabernet Franc of France's Loire Valley, these grapes are picked at the edge of ripeness from coastal vineyards in northern California. This retains the varietal's natural earthy and peppery character and highlights its fresh blackberry and cherry flavors without bogging it down with any stewiness that warmer climates can sometimes impart. Medium-bodied, with high-toned fruit and a rustic backbone, this naturally produced wine from the underutilized, mountainous area around the Shasta Cascade region is both unique and delicious.

Christophe Lindenlaub "Matin Fou" Alsace Sylvaner 2018
91
Our Score
(8/2020) Christophe Lindenlaub may be new to the scene locally, but his family has been producing wine in Alsace since the '70s and farming on their estate since the mid-1700s, and we cannot praise these creative, delicious wines enough. The Matin Fou is 100% Sylvaner from 20-year-old vines planted on limestone and clay soils. The grapes are macerated on skins for 2 days before fermentation with indigenous yeast followed by 8 months on the lees. Generous aromas and flavors of lemon, pear and key lime rind accompany a beautiful structure laid upon a solid mineral foundation, balanced by refreshing acidity. Impossible to put down.

Martha Stoumen Wines "Post Flirtation" California White Blend 2019
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) A refreshing mash-up of mineral and maritime elements, this co-fermentation of Colombard, Marsanne, Roussanne and Muscat is bright and lifted with aromas and flavors of kiwi, lemon oil, limestone and ocean-breeze salinity. Generously textured but light on its feet, its 9.5% alcohol makes for a perfect summer sipper. It's hard to conjure a more ideal pairing for oysters or grilled seafood.

Bartucci Cerdon de Bugey 2019
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) An absolute treat, this semi-sweet sparkler is composed of mostly Gamay with a bit of Poulsard and Chardonnay that finishes its primary fermentation in the bottle. Explosively fruity and incredibly drinkable it bursts with notes of raspberry, strawberry and black cherry cola accented by white and pink flowers. Open this before dinner and you'll be ready for a second bottle with dessert.
