A.A. Badenhorst "The Curator" Swartland White Blend 2019
88
Our Score
(11/2020) What a versatile and affordable bottle this longtime Vin Chicago favorite is! A yummy blend composed primarily of nicely dry Chenin Blanc, complimented by unoaked Chardonnay and Viognier for flair. We think this vintage leans a bit more crisp than previous iterations, and the end result is a delicious citrus-drenched cornucopia of stone-fruit and melon. It's lovely juice, and the type of wine we've always championed as the type to choose when you need a volume of wine to please a broad swath of white wine tastes - everybody will like this!

A.J. Adam Dhroner Hofberg Kabinett Riesling 2019
90
Wine Advocate
(9/2020) "The 2019 Dhroner Hofberg Riesling Kabinett is very fine and elegant on the bright but intense and crispy fruit bouquet that indicates good concentration and interesting terroir. Pretty complex for such a refreshing Kabinett. Round and piquant on the palate, this is a finessed, remarkably fine and stimulating Kabinett with crystalline acidity and moderate sweetness in the finish. I'd keep this Kabinett for at least another 2 or 3 years. Tasted at the domain in September 2020."

Absentee Winery "Red" Mendocino Red Blend 2017
Inspired by the Loire Valley, winemaker Avi Deixler brings a fresh perspective to California, producing lively wines with serious bounce!
91
Our Score
(10/2020) Absentee Winery's Avi Deixler produces wines in the non-interventional style prominent in the Loire Valley but coupled to ripeness only achieved by his California sunshine. From eschewing the use of sulfur, to his practice of shaving away wood from interiors of used barrels potentially affected by a previous winery's less fastidious methods, it is clear he is a fellow serious about his craft. This maximally fresh blend of Syrah, Carignan, Abouriou and Petite Sirah has ripe aromas and juicy flavors of blackberry and black cherry, accented by inviting notes of crushed violet and peppercorn. The frame is medium-bodied with a great plush mouthfeel and smooth tannins - delivering an approachable wine with serious depth and versatility.

(10/2020) "Inspired by his family's winemaking traditions in the Baix Penedes, Albert Jane works organically, with as little intervention as possible in his 103 acres of vineyards. His vines are scattered across a range of terroirs; this wine is focused on grapes grown on clay and sandy stone soils. A blend of 70 percent carinena (carinyena, locally) and 30 percent garnacha, it's juicy yet playful, with tart berry flavors blended with scents of lavender and lilac, chives and thyme. The texture is silky, and the spicy finish led me to write, 'I want more!'"

Vinous, Neal Martin
(11/2018) "The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a tightly coiled bouquet of high-toned red fruit, raspberry, red currant, pressed violets and iris, and later a hint of baking powder. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, coming across as fresh and lively but very linear and strict at the moment - more like a Clos Saint-Denis in style. But there is a nobility about this wine, and it is certainly persistent. This is one of several wines that shot way past my estimation from barrel. Bravo. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2055."

Alexander Valley Vineyards "Sin Zin" Alexander Valley Zinfandel 2017
Winemaker's Notes
"For the 2017 vintage, we harvested Zinfandel from eight vineyards in the southern Alexander Valley, aged in 25% new American oak barrels for 14 months. This vintage shows great color, with a dark purple, red hue. There are spicy, earthy aromas of dark fruits, black cherry, black pepper, plum, and raspberry along with a touch of citrus. This 2017 is a rich Zinfandel with flavors of black cherry, plum, black pepper, apricot and chocolate. The spicy finish really comes through as the wine sits in the glass, along with nuances of brown sugar and warm spices. This vintage has a nice, clean finish."

Alfredo Maestro "El Rey del Glam" Tierra de Castillo y Leon Garnacha 2019

Our Score
(9/2020) Two high-elevation parcels sourced from Ribera del Duero and Sierra de Gredos provide the grapes for this luscious yet bright Garnacha, which are fermented whole cluster with wild yeasts. After carbonic maceration, the wine is raised for a few months and then bottled without filtration or added SO2, yielding tons of fruit character - strawberry, stewed plum and dried cherry - supported by cracked pepper and dried herbs. Palate-coating but crisp, this medium-bodied wine expresses its youth despite its depth. "El Rey del Glam" traveled across the ocean so that you could open it with a burger and fries, as well you should.

(5/5/2019) "Assemblage of Clairette (Drome), Pinot Gris, Chardonnay (from the south of Burgundy) and Riesling (Alsace). One year in barrel then blended afterwards. This has lovely floral, grapey aromatics with some citrus and tinned pear. The palate has lovely texture and depth with pretty grapey notes but also a lovely texture. Nice grainy structure and good acidity. Very fine and expressive, starting out so pretty, but then displaying a more serious mouthfeel."

Alice et Oliver De Moor "Coteau de Rosette" Chablis 2018
Winemaker's Notes
"This wine is a single vineyard bottling from a one hectare parcel in the De Moor's village of Courgis. They consider this to be their best plot (with the exception of the 1er Crus). It has a particularly heavy amount of clay for their vineyards. Fermentation and aging can occur in different vessels each vintage depending on the global quantities. For this wine, a small foudre (1200l) and 228l barrels and are usually used along with enamel lined tanks in generous vintages. Long alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aged 11 months on the lees without racking or cold stabilization. The wine is normally bottled without filtration but may go through a light, non sterile one if deemed necessary."

Vinous, Neal Martin
(9/2020) "The 2018 Chablis "Bel Air et Clardy" was filtered, Olivier de Moor explained, because analysis showed there were still active yeasts in the wine, and they wished to avoid any re-fermentation in bottle. This is more backward on the nose, displaying scents of broom, jasmine and crushed pebbles; a subtle linseed note emerges with time. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and notes of orange peel and mandarin. Taut and linear toward the finish, with freshness to spare. Superb. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2029"

Alpha Estate "Hedgehog Vineyard" Xinomavro 2015

Wine & Spirits

Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2015 Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard was aged for 12 months in an equal mixture of new and second use French oak and comes in at 12.8% alcohol. If you want to know why this region and grape have a reputation for acidity, this issue certainly shows you. This is one good example. Silky yet fruity, without a lot of concentration but with enlivening lift to the fruit and plenty of power, this has all those old-school Xinomavro nuances of earth and amber to go with the big hits of acidity. These types of Xinomavro make me think 'Nebbiolo' every time. In fact, this often seems to have more rusticity than Alpha's upper-level (and typically more refined) Vielles Vignes bottling. When these old-school types come down the road, you are best off letting them rest a bit and coming back in a few years. The acidity and tannins will preserve them for a long time, perhaps longer than expected, so there is no rush. This is a fine value that does a lot of great things that wines in this price category often do not-but you will need some patience, and it does have to be your style. Drink Date: 2020 - 2035."

Alpha Estate Florina Sauvignon Blanc 2019
90
Wine Advocate
(4/30/2020) "The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is unoaked and comes in at 13.2% alcohol. This is a bring-on-da-funk Sauvignon, with plenty of those vegetal nuances that purists love and others rather hate. That said, it doesn't really go too far. It's green, but it doesn't make you wrinkle your nose. It adds appealing freshness and silky texture, plus reasonable concentration. The juicy finish is enticing and tasty. It's a lively Sauvignon with an invigorating feel to it, a perfect summer white that will wake you up in warm weather. Under screwcap, it may hold well for several years, maybe longer than indicated, but there is no reason to wait. For the record, it was even better the next day."
