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."

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.

(11/30/2017) "Moving to the red and made from 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Chateau D'Aiguilhe is also brilliant and well worth seeking out. Sporting a vibrant ruby/purple color as well as gorgeous notes of black raspberries and blue fruits, violates, bouquet garni, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, bright acidity, and firm tannin, all of which give it a masculine feel, despite having plenty of upfront fruit. This is a beautiful Cotes de Castillon that will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for a decade or more."

Beckmen Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2020) "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) is rich and explosive out of the glass. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, leather, licorice and a host of earthy notes flesh out in an expansive wine endowed with tremendous depth and complexity. This is such a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink 2021 - 2030."

Daou Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
92
Wine Advocate
(1/31/2020) "This entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon is the only Cabernet in the Daou portfolio made entirely of purchased fruit and is intended to be drunk young. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc aged 11 months in 60% new French oak. Deep ruby-purple, it opens with pure creme de cassis and meaty touches, slow to unfurl, over pure blackberries, cedar and dried thyme. Medium to full-bodied, it explodes with flavor in the mouth, purely defined but very ripe, with a very finely grained frame and a youthful cloaking of new oak, finishing long, fresh and classy."

(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. Picks up a bit of crunch toward the long, mouthwatering finish, adding to the interesting texture. Best from 2022 through 2032. 2,500 cases made, 1,009 cases imported."

Chateau Graville-Lacoste Graves Bordeaux Blanc 2018
90
Our Score
(1/2020) Herve Dubourdieu's stainless-steel fermented White Bordeaux is an absolute Vin Chicago favorite! From 45+ year old vines, this blend is composed of 75% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. A warm vintage here did not hold this wine back from offering lovely balancing acidity to its plump, waxy mouthfeel. Notes of white peach, fennel frond, white stone and yellow apple are clean and long-finishing. Such a reliable bottling!

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.
