Abbazia San Giorgio "Orange" Terre Siciliane Zibbibo 2019
91
Our Score
(1/2021) Coming to us all the way from the tiny Italian island of Pantelleria, equidistant from Sicily and Tunisia, comes the organically-farmed wines of Abbazia San Giorgio. A fascinating location, but also one of the more interesting and drinkable skin-contact natural wines we can remember. "Orange" is crafted from the fun-to-say Zibibbo grape, a local name for Muscat of Alexandria, macerating on its skins for 15 days provides the signature cloudy, glowing, orange hue. Nectarine, apricots, citrus with a salty, mineral backbone - a pleasurable melange of flavor awaits anyone with the good fortune of popping the cork. This light-bodied wine has a freshness and vibrancy that always leaves us wanting more.

(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!'"

Albert Bichot Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru 2015

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."

Wine Advocate
(8/30/2019) "The 2017 Brouilly wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet red cherries, citrus rind and flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, succulent and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe acids and fine concentration. One-third of the cuvee was matured in used barrels, the balance in cement tank. This cuvee is typically firmer and more structured than Alex's Cote de Brouilly, turning appellation stereotypes on their heads, but this vintage is the exception. Drink Date: 2018 - 2028"

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."

Jamie Goode
(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."

Gorgeous honeysuckle and fresh white strawberry scents furnish the well-defined nose, while the vibrant, lively palate offers Conference pear, ginger and touches of sage. Very persistent on the aftertaste. A delightful, quite complex Bourgogne Chitry. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2028"

Alice et Oliver De Moor "Coteau de Rosette" Chablis 2018
Only a few cases available of this small production Burgundy from Alice and Olivier De Moor. Sourced from a steep one-hectare, southeast facing vineyard, this is real-deal artisan Chablis!
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 Florina Sauvignon Blanc 2019

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."

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2015
95
Wine Advocate
(1/31/2020) The Altesino 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows beautiful depth and latitude, with broad fruit aromas of dark cherry and cassis that recall the warmth and golden sunlight of the vintage. The wine is deceivingly streamlined in terms of mouthfeel, but that slim and buttoned-down backbone supports a broad range of flavors and sensations, from lavender essence and camphor ash to moist soil and toasted spice. All of these elements are delivered with impressive harmony and unity, and I expect that this wine will continue on a slow, steady and satisfying aging trajectory over the next 10 years or more. Fruit is sourced from across 21 hectares of vines with tufaceous limestone soils and Alberese rock, which contributes to the freshness and balanced structure of the wine. The wine was bottled in June 2019 (with 150,000 bottles made), and this wine was released in January 2020. Drink Date 2021 - 2035."

(10/31/2019) "The unoaked 2018 Malbec Clasico 2018 comes from a very good year, after 2013 and 2014, which were very difficult years, and 2015 and 2016 that saw lots of rain. According to winemaker Leo Erazo, it's the most complex wine to make because of the many different sources of grapes, growers and the volume they make. But they planted 22 hectares in 2012, so they use more of their own grapes; the wine now has some 30% of grapes from Valle de Uco, which is always a cooler region that is noticed in the wine, which is very balanced, harmonious and easy to drink. It has a dusty note and fine tannins; it's elegant and especially very drinkable."

(10/31/2019) "Expressive, mineral and vertical, austere, like biting into chalk. It's produced with grapes from a rented plot in a somewhat fashionable appellation that is quite large and diverse. The palate is super austere, dry, serious and mineral, while the nose is expressive and has the wilderness of the place with unusual elegance and freshness for a year like 2017. It finishes long and tasty, with some violets. Could this be their best Gualtallary to date? Drink Date: 2019 - 2030."

Alzinger Smaragd "Loibenberg" Wachau Gruner Veltliner 2018

(3/1/2020) "A whiff of passion fruit lends a tropical overtone to the full-on ripeness on the nose. The palate continues with this swishing, generous juiciness that showcases Mirabelle plum and ripe pear. Structural elements of bitter pith, salty yeast and tingling zest complete the picture of a most concentrated, energetic and driven wine that resonates with life and flavor. This is warm and powerful but beautifully streamlined. Drink 2030-2045."

(6/14/2019). "From a site in the Russian River Valley, the 2017 Chardonnay Jos. Belli Vineyards spent 11 months in a mix of new and used French oak. Its light gold color is followed by notes of ripe pineapple, peach, honeysuckle, and white flowers. It's rounded, has a fleshy, medium-bodied mouthfeel, notable balance, and a clean finish. It's rock solid and one pleasure bent, impeccably made Chardonnay to drink over the coming couple of years. Maturity: 2019 - 2021"

Amapola Creek "Monte Rosso Vineyard" Moon Mountain District Zinfandel 2016

Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2016 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard is medium garnet-purple in color and opens with notions of raspberry tart, kirsch and red currant jelly with suggestions of tobacco, mossy bark and dusty soil plus a waft of white pepper. Big, concentrated and powerful in the mouth, it has a solid frame of chewy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy. Drink Date: 2018 - 2030"

(9/11/2018) "Vivid and lively aromas of crushed raspberries and lemons follow through to a medium-bodied palate with energetic fruit and balanced acidity. There's a fascinating lemon-rind and cherry aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
