(6/14/2019) "The 2016 Le Desir checks in as 82% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot, and 6% Malbec. Readers looking for world-class Cabernet Franc should beg, borrow, or steal to get hold of a bottle of this. Incredible floral, violet, forest floor, lead pencil, and cassis notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied red that's flawlessly balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that won't quit. More intellectual and elegant than the La Joie, it's still a wine of incredible intensity and class that builds incrementally on the palate, has an exotic, singular character, and the class to evolve for 30 years or more. Maturity: 2019 - 2049"

(6/14/2019) "Another perfect wine is the 2016 La Joie, which is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot sourced all from the estate vineyards in the Pocket Peak portion of the Alexander Valley. This full-bodied, powerful yet elegant Cabernet Sauvignon couldn't be better and has incredible purity, layers of creme de cassis, white flowers, tobacco leaf, and flowers, a deep, multi-dimensional texture, and loads of ultra-fine tannins. I'd confidently put this up against any Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. As with the La Muse, it has the balance, purity, and class to drink spectacularly well even today, but it's another wine that will benefit from a decade of cellaring and keep for 40-50 years. Maturity: 2019 - 2064"

Verite "La Muse" Sonoma Valley Merlot 2016

(6/14/2019) "Including the highest percentage of Merlot (at the moment anyway), the 2016 La Muse checks in as 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Malbec that spent 15-16 months in roughly 90% new French oak. This magical wine shows how good Merlot (and Sonoma) can be and offers extraordinary notes of crushed violets, spring flowers, scorched earth, graphite, black cherries, and creme de cassis. As elegant and seamless as they come, it's full-bodied, perfectly balanced, has an incredible spine of acidity and tannins, and a finish that won't quit. It has the class and purity to drink well even today, but it's not going to hit prime time for at least another decade and will keep for 3-4 decades. Bravo! Maturity: 2019 - 2054"

Bedrock Wine Co. "The Bedrock Heritage" Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2017

Wine Spectator
(3/31/2019) "Brooding but not a bruiser. Finesse combines with power, offering fervent blackberry, fruitcake spice, ground pepper and orange zest accents that build intensity toward big but polished tannins. Zinfandel, Carignan, Mataro, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet. Drink now through 2026. 750 cases made."

(10/2019) "The 2017 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is fabulous. A dark, exotic beauty, the Pagani possesses off the charts flavor intensity and depth, with striking perfume, voluptuous fruit and magnificent balance. Inky red/purplish berries, lavender and spice are all amped up in this racy, extroverted Zinfandel from one of the most historic sites in Sonoma Valley."

Amapola Creek "Monte Rosso Vineyard" Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2015

(6/29/2018) "The medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard gives up notes of baked plums and blueberry compote with touches of black raspberries, fallen leaves and spice box plus touches of unsmoked cigars and garrigue. Full-bodied and packing tons of spicy red berry preserves and earthy layers, it has a firm frame of chewy tannins and great freshness, finishing long."

Vinca Minor "Thorton-Clark Vineyard" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay 2018
91+
Our Score
(8/2019) Sourced from a single tiny, gravelly vineyard in Sonoma Valley, Vinca Minor has produced a beauty of a Chardonnay whose aromas of ripe lemon and lime are carried by a salty sea breeze out of the glass. Fermented with indigenous yeast and kept in neutral barrel for 6 months, the wine has heft and a leesy texture that's balanced by its fresh acidity and striking, limestone-like minerality. With only 62 cases produced, you can imagine how few made it to Chicago, so don't sleep on this awesome Chard!
