It follows with notes of plum, black cherry, savory spice, and floral potpourri on the palate. This wine is full bodied, with big rich tannins.

Beauregard Cabernet Sauvignon 'Beauregard Ranch' 2016
$210.00

Beauregard Cabernet Sauvignon 'Beauregard Ranch' 2018
$188.00
On the nose, the wine is ripe yet has an old world flare akin to a modern classified red wine from Bordeaux. There are notes of ripe black currants, black plum, cassis, leather, red tobacco, cedar, wet rocks, toasted oak and delicate oak spices. The palate is full bodied and multi-layered with a beautiful harmony between ripe fruit, oak, and earth flavors which reflect the nose. The finish is lengthy and fades slowly. I highly advise waiting until the wine has 7-8 years of bottle age to really discover the true beauty these wines have the ability to show. The fruit will eventually integrate, the savory notes will emerge, and the wine will slowly change and show a personality similar to top Bordeaux with a touch more flesh and texture on the palate. California / Ben Lomond Mt.

Cabernet 44%, Merlot 38%, Cab Franc 9%, Malbec 6%, Petite Verdot 4%. California, Monterey, Gabilan Mts, Coastview Vineyard
Big Basin Syrah 'Rattlesnake Rock' 2016
$96.00
The 2016 Syrah Rattlesnake Rock is a powerful wine. Red fruit, iron, chalk, white pepper, game and incisive tannins give the 2016 a real feeling of drive that distinguishes it in the range. This is an especially mineral-driven, savory, taut Syrah, with all the elements in the right place. Dried herbs, licorice and crushed flowers add aromatic intrigue. It will be interesting to see if the 2016 gains a bit more volume in bottle. It is such a promising wine. The Côte-Rôtie selection Syrah from John Alban works so well here. 98% Syrah, 2% Viognier. California / Santa Cruz Mountains / Rattle Snake Rock
Birichino Pinot Noir 'Lilo'
$72.00

Sante Arcangeli Pinot Noir 'Ananda' SCM 2019
$117.00
Melanie Ananda Benedetti died shortly before harvest 2019, at age 44. The 2019 Ananda Pinot Noir is the end product of all the love, grief, sorrow, loss, and my desire to honor her by moving forward. I was a mess, and threw myself into harvest with only 1 clear objective: channel all of the above into something that can bring others joy amid sadness. Here is the result. She was made by first making a direct-pressed rosé from Split Rail Pinot Noir, and then moving the pressed skins into a fermenter, where another ton of Pommard clone from Split Rail was destemmed on top. The resulting fermentation was mellow and deliberate, a lot like Mel was, with amazing blue fruit aromas. Much later, a barrel of Lester Family Vineyard Pinot Noir was blended in during the wine's 18 months of barrel aging. I love the wine, and Wine Enthusiast agreed, by giving her 94 pts
Sante Arcangeli Pinot Noir 'Dalardi' 2019
$81.00
In 2018 Dalardi Vineyard made up the red fruit core of our Integrato Pinot Noir.

California / Santa Cruz Mountains
Sante Arcangeli Pinot Noir 'Lester' 2016

$155.00
Here too there is just enough wood present to cite on the very ripe yet fresh aromas of cassis, plum, black cherry, warm earth and a whiff of the sauvage. There is excellent size, weight and power to the big-bodied, concentrated and intense flavors that possess an appealingly textured mouthfeel thanks to the copious amount of dry extract that also buffers the firm core of tannins on the impressively long finish.

Château Canon St. Emilion 1er Grand Cru 2017
$285.00
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Canon bursts from the glass with expressive notions of baked black cherries, kirsch, plum preserves and black raspberries plus hints of red roses, Ceylon tea, black olives and fertile loam.

Château Figeac Saint-Émilion 1re Grand Cru Classé 'A' 2020

In a vintage that favored Cabernet, it is no surprise that Figeac excelled. With refined aromas of licorice and black fruits, the palate is silky, full of dark chocolate, red fruit, and a thread of acidity that leads to a juicy, lingering finish. With great mid-palate depth, it is a luxurious wine that highlights why the modern generation at this address is simply not to be missed. 37% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Château Fleur Cardinale Saint-Emilion Grand cru 2019

Château Giscours Margaux Grand Cru 2020

Chateau Giscours is very proud of the 2020 vintage. The team's in-depth knowledge of the terroir and their risk-taking have produced a voluptuous wine. It is generous, with great personality.

Château Gloria Saint-Julien 2016

The 2016 Gloria is one of the undisputed stars of this vintage. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2016 possesses tremendous intensity in all of its dimensions.

A wine that blossoms with time in the glass, it's a plush, sexy, yet brilliantly balanced 2020 offering velvety tannins and a great finish, and while the oak is preset right on opening, it integrated beautifully with air.

Château Lafon Rochet St-Estèphe Grand Cru 2020
$120.00
I loved the 2020 Château Lafon-Rochet, a rich, powerful, concentrated Saint-Estèphe that stays beautifully balanced and elegant. Lots of pure cassis and darker currant fruits as well as tobacco, chocolate, and damp herb notes define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with plenty of mid-palate depth, building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to take 7-8 years to hit the early stages of maturity, but it's a brilliant wine. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 95 pts JebDunnack. France / Bordeaux / St-Estèphe
Château Larruau Margaux 2017
$90.00
Quite bright and with an almost Pinot fresh fruitiness. Earthy and stable notes with a bit of just ripe blackberries underneath. Aromas also of dirty tools in a blacksmith's workshop. Medium bodied with well balanced tannins and a lasting and fruity finish. Ready to drink now and in the next three years. Variety: Cabernet sauvignon (~55%), merlot (~45%). France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Margaux
Château les Cruzelles Lalande de Pomerol '15
$80.00
The palate is beautifully proportioned with crisp tannin, a fine line of acidity, somehow gentle and understated on the finish, but very long in the mouth. Yet another ridiculously fine wine to load up on, courtesy of Denis Durantou. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. France / Bordeaux / Libournais / Lalande de Pomerol
Château les Cruzelles Lalande de Pomerol 2019
$77.00
The 2019 Les Cruzelles is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, aged in 40% new oak. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little swirling to unlock beguiling scents of kirsch, mulberries, lavender, and tree bark with hints of cracked black pepper and tilled soil. Full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular with a firm line of grainy tannins and compelling tension, finishing long and fragrant. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. France / Bordeaux / Lalande de Pomerol
Château Malartic Lagraviere Pessac Léognan 2020
$132.00
Coming in at close to equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2020 Château Malartic-Lagravière is another brilliant 2020 Pessac-Léognan with loads to offer. Expressive notes of red and black fruit, sweet tobacco, lead pencil, and camphor all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a forward, seamless, sexy profile that already offers pleasure. The tannins are present yet integrated and perfectly ripe, it's balanced, and I suspect it will evolve for a solid two decades or more. Tasted twice. The blend is 50.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47.8% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that hit 14.2% natural alcohol
Château Montlandrie, Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon 2018
$80.00
Denis Durantou is famed for his wonderful Pomerol estate, Chateau L'Eglise Clinet, but he has spread his wings to St Emilion, Lalande de Pomerol and Castillon, and it is perhaps in these communes that he has best demonstrated his Midas touch. We've always loved Montlandrie. The clay and limestone terroir near to the windmill has enormous potential and Denis always seems to capture the essence of this plot. It is usually just on the right side of glossy; a polished, modern style, but true to its terroir. The 2018 must be one of the finest examples to date. Notes of flowers, graphite, blåbär and wild plums. There is a wonderful sappy intensity and minerality to the sumptuous palate. Vital, classical and grippy; an impressive Montlandrie! 75% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc, 5% Cab Sauvingnon. France / Bordeaux / Castillon

France / Bordeaux / Castillon
Château Pape Clement Pessac-Leognan 2019
$273.00
As to the Grand Vin 2019 Château Pape Clement, it reveals a dense purple hue to go with stunning aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, scorched earth, and tobacco. Beautifully balanced, with flawless tannins, this full-bodied Pessac has that rare mix of elegance and power, a great mid-palate, and again, perfect balance. It's one of the gems of the vintage and has some accessibility today given its purity and balance, yet deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will cruise for 20-25 years or more in cold cellars. The blend is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, brought up in two-thirds new French oak. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot. France / Bordeaux / Pessac-Leognan
Château Pibran Pauillac 2015
$99.00
From an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon comes a medium-bodied wine with a red fruit core and the essence of smoke, black cherry and mocha on the nose. France, Bordeaux, Medoc, Pauillac
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Paulliac 2020
$588.00
An estate that has been on fire of late, the 2020 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is another brilliant wine in a succession of brilliant wines. Revealing a dense purple hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blac currants, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, and violets, it hits the palate with an expansive, rich, yet pure, precise texture that carries fabulous tannins, perfect balance, and a stacked mid-palate. Based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, it's an incredible wine that's going to flirt with perfection and is unquestionably one of the finest, if not the finest, Left Banks in the vintage. Bravo. France / Bordeaux / Paulliac. 100pts Jeb Dunnuck
Château Prieure-Lichine Margaux 2020
$117.00
This is really something with pure blackberry and blueberry character. Chewy yet ultra fine tannins. It goes on and on. 96 pts. James Suckling. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot & 5% Petit Verdot. France / Bordeaux / Margaux
Château Quinault l'Enclos, St-Émilion '15
$109.00
A ripe, heady, blockbuster styled beauty, the 2015 Château Quinault l'Enclos reveals a deep purple color as well as super ripe (but not overripe) notes of blackcurrants, Asian spices, cherries, and earth. With full-bodied richness, high, yet sweet tannin, and an incredible texture that seemed to improve every time I came back to the glass, it's already beautifully but will keep for 15-20 years. 69% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. France / Bordeaux / St.Emilion
Château Rauzan-Ségla Margaux '09
$479.00
Complex aromas of dried citrus fruit, with very ripe plums and currants. Full and very dense, with lots of beautiful fruit and super velvety tannins. This is really long and caressing, with intense structure. A gorgeous wine. Muscular and powerful. Made for the long term. (Special label for 350th birthday of the Chateau) 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 1% Petite Verdot, 1% Cab Franc. France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Margaux
Château Roc de Cambes, Côtes de Bourg '09
$169.00
In the glass, the Roc de Cambes is a dark, nearly opaque garnet red with some encroaching orange at the rim betraying its age. Aromas of preserved black cherry, raspberry, black plum, cacao, ground coffee, bay leaf, and exotic spice jump from the glass and carry over to a polished and full-bodied palate which finishes with layers of nuanced earth notes. What distinguishes this from many '09s I've tried is its focus and freshness: the ripeness is evident but it perfectly lifted by bright acidity. It is a beautifully constructed wine, with exquisitely managed tannins, that still has lots of gas in the tank: If drinking now, decant it about 30 minutes before serving in large Bordeaux stems next to a seared beef tenderloin in a simple pan sauce. Merlot 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 25%, Malbec 5%. France/ Bordeaux Right Bank/ Côtes de Bourg
Château Teynac Saint-Julien 2020
$88.00
Its grape varieties are traditional for Medoc wines: a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (28%) and Petit Verdot (2%): a proportion varying slightly depending on the vintage at the time of blending. The vines used to produce it are surrounded by those classified as Cru which constitute 95% of the appellation. France / Bordeaux / Saint-Julien

Château Tour Saint-Christophe Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2018
$114.00
Currant, red-tea, chili, chocolate and lemon-zest aromas. Chalk and crushed gravel, too. It's medium-bodied with tight, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.

Medium everything - fruit, acid, tannins, ripeness, intensity, and color - and that's alright. Food friendly.

Medium-bodied, silky but structured tannins, vibrant acidity – this is all lined up wonderfully. Red and black cherry fruit, suave but tangy, blended well with complex notes of black pepper, violets, bay leaf, iron, paved road.

Mongeard-Mugneret Nuits St. Georges 'aux Boudots' 1er Cru 2020
$389.00
Character of the wine. Nuits St Georges wines make you long to bite into them. Although their name evokes twilight and nightfall, these premier crus have a fairly vigorous nature, hard while immature, more caressing later on. This wine dazzles you less by its body than by its subtlety. It is as if the Côte regretted having made an oversight, and had returned to Vosne for a moment. They are a deep ruby in colour, and possess a vigorous personality, with fennel elements and aromas of red fruits. The fine acidity that characterises these wines makes them perfectly balanced and suitable for lying down. Wine datasheet Total

Domaine Tinel-Blondelet Sancerre Frétoy 2018
$46.00
It's a sweet luxury when you work with a winemaker who does double duty between her vineyards in Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre crafting compelling wines from both. We've been singing high praises for Annick's Pouilly-Fumé for years now and for whatever reason promoting her Frétoy Sancerre with a little less fanfare. Well I gotta' say it's time for that mentality to change. Annick's 2018 release is a thing of beauty sourced from 40-year old vines growing in flint and limestone soils. All farming is done organically with absolutely no insecticides or unnatural fertilizers used in the vineyards. From this practice comes a white wine with hints of mineral, dry and fruity citrus notes and a backbone of acidity that reminds you that this can only be Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Pla de Gates is a blend of Lledoner Blanc and Roig (Grenache Blanc and Gris) that Anna Espelt grows in her Mas Marés vineyard.

Pla de Gates is cooled overnight after harvesting by hand, is partially destemmed, and sees a short maceration before a long gentle pressing to capture all the aromatic and phenolic potential of these two varieties.

Domestic
Birichino Vin Gris '19
$29.00
Coral or pale salmon perhaps best describes the tint, suggesting a gentle, delicate, wispy rosé in keeping with the gentle, delicate sensibilities of the house's founders. The initial scent, as well, might lead one down the primrose path of frivolous expectations, effusively perfumed as it is of flowers and Asian fruits. 2017 has proven, however, a rich, dynamic, but never fatiguing vintage, confounding the notion of a balanced, gulpable rosé as necessarily light and ethereal. This added density likely derives from a larger than normal percentage of fruit from old vines. Mourvèdre from the sandscape of Contra Costa County, the entirety of our allotment of cinsault from Bechthold Vineyard [the oldest such vineyard on Earth, planted in Lodi in 1886] and George Besson's old vine grenache, together comprise 30% of the blend. Grenache 69%, Cinsault 15%, Mourvèdre 13%, Rolle 3%

Louis xiv was among the first to sing the praises of tavel's delicious and memorable rosés, which only stands to reason given the appellation's grand cru reputation today. Tavel is the only a. O. C. Entirely made up of rosé, which prohibits any whites or reds from wearing the label of this Southern rhône cru. No more than sixty percent of the final blend can be made up of the noble grenache. 45% grenache, 24% cinsault, 15% clairette, 10% mourvèdre, 6% syrah. France / Southern rhône / tavel.
Clos Ste. Magdeleine Rosé 2020
$52.00
This rosé hails from a single-parcel vineyard tucked back a bit from the coast and hidden among pines, wild lavender, and citrus trees. Dark red clay and an insulating layer of limestone rocks harbor the entire diverse collection of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Syrah vines used in the field blend. Winemaker Jonathan Sack's father has called Clos Sainte Magdeleine's wine "Provençal sunshine in a glass," but I'd add that this rosé has real depth. It's a terroir-driven wine that evokes the very earth of Provence. As if the grapes were infused with that salty sea air and wild sagebrush, there are hints of each, along with crisp lemony nuances and a whole lot of those ripe little strawberries for sale at the roadside markets. Grapes: 35% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah. France / Côtes de Provence
Kobal Roots Rožnato 2021
$44.00
Reminiscent of over-ripe strawberries, small red fruits, nuts, and various tropical nuances that indicate the grapes were ripened to perfection. The taste of the wine is pleasantly rounded with a long finish and shows the properties that are characteristic of maturation on lees and maturation in small oak barrels. 100% Zweigelt. Haloze Hills, Lower Styria (Štajerska), Slovenia
Poggio Calypso Rosato
$27.00
51% Moscato Bianco and 49% Pinot Noir. Intense and bright garnet hue, on the cusp of pomegranate, with a delicate mousse. Fruity and floral, with delicate rose and exotic fruit scents.

Tenuta Anfosso 'Antea' Vino Bianco 2018
$105.00
"When my grandfather was a kid, the vines were already ancient," says Alessandro Anfosso, estimating the surviving Rossese Bianco to be at least 150 years old. From thick, ungrafted trunks of this nearly extinct variety, Alessandro crafts a white wine similar to what his grandfather would have made. After four days fermenting on the skins, it is transferred to acacia casks, where it rests until an unfiltered bottling. Savor this richly textured, deeply flavored nugget of local tradition with mushroom tagliatelle, sheep's milk cheeses, a spinach frittata, or the Ligurian antipasto torta verde. Grape: Rossese Bianco. Italy / Liguria / Rossese di Dolceacqua
Tenuta Castellaro Rosa Caolino 2015
$36.00
The taste is complex and elegant, characterized by strong hints of red fruits and the excellent balance between persistence and minerality. Grape: corinto nero 60%, nero d' avola 40. Italy / sicilia igt.
