Donkey & Goat "Eliza" El Dorado White Blend 2018
90+
Our Score
(5/2020) The "Eliza" is a blend of Clairette, Picpoul, Vermentino Grenache Blanc and Roussanne from a single, loam-soiled vineyard at 2,700 ft of elevation. Native-yeast-fermented and aged in neutral oak after a brief maceration, the goal here is a balance between body and crispness and it quite a success. There's a ton of orchard fruit on the nose and palate supported by hints of ripe mango, lemon rind and a breeze of salinity. Some fleshy weight to the palate balances perfectly with its acidity. Only 227 cases produced!

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.

Maloof Wines "L'Eau Epicee" Willamette Valley Sparkling White 2019
90+
Our Score
(7/2020) L'Eau Epicee is as unique as it is delicious. A 50/50 composite of Gewurztraminer and Riesling was fermented separately in open containers, with part of the Riesling drained into 5-gallon buckets and put into a freezer. After the wine fermented, the frozen Riesling juice was added just before bottling, where a secondary fermentation took place, resembling something like Methode Ancestrale. The wine itself is a beauty of a sparkler - fruit-forward with tons of pear, grapefruit and green apple skin over a solid mineral backbone. Maloof loves to experiment with their winemaking almost as much as we love drinking the result!

Martin Woods Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2017
91
Our Score
(3/2019) There is a temptation to call this "Burgundian" but it is more accurate to call it "Oregonian." This producer wants everything that goes into the wine to be from Oregon, and that includes aging the wine in neutral Oregon oak barrels. This is a lean style of Chardonnay with great depth of flavors. The fruit is a refreshing mix of fresh slices apples and pears sprinkled with lemon zest. Underneath lies complex flavors of rich mineral and subtle oak spice. Fans of both Burgundy and California should check this one out to see what Oregon Chardonnay is capable of!

Justin Dutraive "Les Bulands" Beaujolais-Villages 2018
91
Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(10/2019) "Bright magenta. An energetic, perfumed nose displays an array of ripe red fruit and floral qualities that pick up mineral and spice overtones with air. Juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors show fine delineation and lift thanks to an undercurrent of zesty acidity. In a lively style showing impressive purity on a long, focused and gently sweet finish, where fine-grained tannins come in late. Drink 2020 - 2026."

Calcarius "Soul Glou" Puglia Primitivo 2019
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) With Progetto Calcarius, Valentina Passacqua is making superlative wines that both reflect the rocky, maritime terroir of her area of Puglia and exhibit refreshing drinkability. The Soul Glou is 100% carbonically macerated Primitivo that comes to an astonishing 10% alcohol and a lifted, fruit-forward character that is redolent of juicy strawberry, lingonberry and pomegranate with distinct floral notes of crushed violet and rose petals. Put a chill on this and enjoy outdoors.

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.

Broc Cellars North Coast Valdiguie 2017
91
Our Score
(12/2019) From 60+-year-old vines in Solano County's Green Valley, just southeast of Napa, this Valdiguie is high-toned and energetic, with medium tannin and tons of fruit - blackberry, raspberry, cassis and macerated plums lay upon a bedrock of granite and dried herbs. Plush, but medium-bodied with some lift from partial carbonic maceration. Native yeast fermentation, minimal SO2. Delicious.

Tenuta di Valgiano "Palistorti" Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2017
92
Our Score
(4/2020) This might just be the best vintage ever of the still underappreciated "Palistorti" from Tenuta di Valgiano. Biodynamically-farmed (certified) vines of predominantly Sangiovese with a bit of Syrah and Merlot, is really a vineyard/vine selection. The same blend of vines from the same estate, made in much the same way comprises Valgiano's flagship wine, but this wine comes in with about 1/3 the price tag. As the younger vines gain age, there is increasing density and length in this bottling, and for the first time it received the "Tre Bicchieri" top honor from the Gambero Rosso this year! Lucca has been a meeting ground for French vines and Tuscany's Sangiovese, there's nothing "modernist" in the approach. No abundance of new oak, no overripeness. The wine has radiant energy, a modest 13% alcohol, but great intensity. Expect notes of black cherry, red florals, brown spice, pepper, loam, fern. But expect the unexpected as this will drink easily for a decade from vintage.
