Ruth Lewandowski "Boaz" Mendocino County Red 2016
91
Our Score
(3/2019) Carignan and Grenache from vines over 75 years old are co-fermented with Cabernet Sauvignon using native yeasts to create this astounding blend. Black cherry, raspberry and anise aromas and flavors with pronounced acidity and tannin make this natural wine both fun and formidable.

Ruth Lewandowski "Naomi" Mendocino County Grenache Gris 2017
90
Our Score
(3/2019) Farmed from extremely old vines (100+ years!) this Grenache Gris from the Gibson Ranch in Mendocino exhibits incredible depth with freshness to match. Aromas and flavors of stone fruits like white peach and Bosc pear are joined with a wonderfully textured waxiness on the palate and a streak of acidity that gives excellent balance to this seriously laudable bit of natural winemaking. It's made with native yeast fermentation, unfined and unfiltered. Don't miss it!

Ruth Lewandowski "Mahlon" Mendocino County White 2017
90
Our Score
(3/2019) From the Foxhill Vinyard, a bastion of Italian varietals in Mendocino County, this Arneis spends six hours macerating on its skins after foot-treading. Following native yeast, full malolactic fermentation, it spends seven months on its lees. The result is a fruity profile of red apple and citrus, supported by white flowers and pink peppercorn with substantial minerality and structure. This is a must with shellfish or cream pasta.

Kesner "Alder Springs Vineyard" Mendocino Chardonnay 2010
Very cool closeout opportunity on this single-vineyard Chard from Jason Kesner, who is the winemaker at KISTLER. 58% Off, and in glorious maturity. Many folks don't understand the glory of fully integrating high-level Cali Chard, stop drinking them as babies!

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(5/2013) "Bright yellow. Poached pear, honey, chamomile and vanilla on the perfumed nose and in the mouth. Lush and open-knit initially but becomes nervier with air, offering pliant orange and pear flavors and a hint of chalky minerality. Offers a suave blend of richness and vivacity and clings with spicy persistence."

Idlewild "The Bird - Flora and Fauna" Red 2016
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $21.99!
91
Our Score
(5/2018) Idlewild, a Piedmont-themed project from Sam Bilbro, has been garnering strong praise from natural wine enthusiasts and critics alike. His "The Bird" is a delicious blend of Barbera, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Grignolino and Freisa, resulting in a juicy, red fruited wine with loads of playful energy and layered flavors. Great by itself, even better with roast chicken, grilled salmon or corzetti pasta with mushroom ragu! As the weather warms, try this with a light chill.

Sean Thackrey "Fifi" Mendocino Sangiovese Rose 2014
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $19.99!
Winemaker's Notes
"Admittedly, a rose named "Fifi" may sound as though it's the airhead of artisan wines, but producing it didn't just happen by accident, like, "OMG it came out all pink!", or whatever-no. In fact, it's an absolutely delicious rose of Sangiovese, and getting it right took several years of the sort of fanatic care and attention to detail for which we're something close to legendary, or close at least to exhaustion. I haven't yet served it to anyone who hasn't loved the result, which gives me every reason to be confident you will agree - here it is."

(12/31/2017) "Dry, appetizing and complex, this wine has intricate aromas of butter, almond and toast followed by mellow fruit flavors, lingering spices and a suave texture that seems to encourage the long finish. It's light- to medium-bodied and excellent in overall quality. Editors' Choice."
