Wine Spectator
(9/30/2020) "Opens with supple and expressive red currant, green olive and clove flavors, then shifts gears and takes on increasingly muscular yet polished tannins on the long finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028."

Desparada "Fragment" California Sauvignon Blanc 2019
This gorgeous Sauvignon Blanc is the bottliong that put the energetic, dynamic, exuberant, vivacious Vailia From on the map. A striking wine from a woman for whom adjectives barely do justice!

(8/16/2019) "The 2017 Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is another killer effort from this estate. Coming from the La Janasse and La Crau lieux-dits and brought up in foudre, its deep purple color is followed by blockbuster notes of creme de cassis, blackberries, chocolate, graphite, and earthy, rocky, mineral-like nuances. It's deep and full-bodied, with a ripe, powerful yet balanced style and a great finish. A classic example of this cuvee. it's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for two decades or more. Maturity: 2023 - 2043"

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre 2019
92+
Our Score
(11/2020) Incredibly dense and rich on the palate with spine-tingling acidity, the 2019 vintage of this long-time Vin Chicago favorite is the best we've tasted in several years. The glass greets you with fleshy tangerine, tense nectarine, grapefruit pith and tropical guava. The lively and energetic mouthfeel is highlighted by chalky grip and silver stone minerality which flows through the long finish. A complex and perfectly complete premium Sancerre to enjoy anytime.

(4/30/2020) "Expressive and profound, beautifully balancing oak and fruit and floral flavors. Notes of apple, mint, heather and butter mingle in harmony, supported by vivid acidity.

(9/1/2020) "This is an outstanding appellation wine, made in larger quantities at a remarkably fair price. Grapes come from throughout the diverse valley and the wine barrel fermented and given nine months to rest. Full bodied, layered and widely appealing, it shows a density of peach, pear, baking spice and sweet oak, all of the components coming together seamlessly at the end."

Iconic Wine Co. "One Shot White" Napa Valley 2019
A sensational Napa Valley white blend from a secret source!
90+
Our Score
90+/100 - Our Score (12/2020) The majority of juice for this Napa Valley white was covertly sourced from a highly respected Napa Valley producer known for their unique whites. Crafted by Birk O'Halloran, the "One Shot White" is a blend of Tocai Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. This delicious Napa bottling offers stone, citrus and orchard fruit flavors and medium-plus minerality in a bright, zesty and oh-so-yummy package. PLUS, the label features pandas in jet packs! A seriously impressive wine at a price that is half that of the source winery.

(2/14/2019) "The 2016 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes from a mix of vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills and is a terrific value as well as a great buy for readers looking to understand the region. A ripe, sexy wine that's loaded with notions of ripe cherries, strawberries, dried herbs, and underbrush, it's big, rich, and mouthfilling, yet also balanced and elegant. It will easily keep for 5-6 years."

Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

Wine Enthusiast
88
Our Score
(4/2020) This is a magnificent application of yummy, crowd-pleasing, new world winemaking techniques applied to famously affordable Portuguese grapes. A blend of Touriga Nacional, Baga, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, the 2018 Silk & Spice is soft, approachable and dripping with dark fruit. Juicy black raspberry and ripe boysenberry overtones are heavily marked by vanilla and milk chocolate. The modern jammy fruit profile is reminiscent of wines made by the Wagner family, Austin Hope or even Dave Phinney.
