Charles Gardet Prestige Brut Champagne 2005
Champagne, France
VINTAGES#: 14645, $89.95 SHOP »»
"This beautifully mature Champagne offers touches of toast as well as a sophisticated texture. The fruit is still there, well integrated into the secondary flavors that have asserted themselves. It is balanced, ripe and ready to drink" Score: 93 Pts. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 1, 2019.
La Chablisienne Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru 2017
Chablis, France
VINTAGES#: 656835, $50.00 SHOP »»
"The 2017 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru is broad, ample and creamy. Dried flowers, citrus peel, chamomile and spice all grace this super-expressive, inviting wine. The 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring, although it clearly has the depth to develop nicely in bottle for a number of years. Drinking window: 2020-2029." Score: 93 Pts. - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, January 2020.
Domaine Roux Père & Fils Les Macherelles Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2016 (Chardonnay)
Burgundy, France
ViNTAGES#:182360, $99.75 SHOP »»
"Wood-aged and still developing, this wine has great potential. Apples, citrus and hints of more tropical fruits are there, along with a tight texture that needs to soften. Give this wine until 2020 before drinking." Score: 92 Pts - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 31, 2018.
Nuiton-Beaunoy Beaune 2018 (Pinot Noir)
Burgundy, France
VINTAGES#: 447573, $36.95 SHOP »»
The Nuiton-Beaunoy wine-growing cooperative has been operating in Burgundy since 1957. Sourced from clay-limestone soils, this wine offers good balance and structure, with well-outlined cherry and earth notes. Pair with fennel-garlic pork roast or stuffed eggplant.
"Here's a ripe and fleshy, supple example of Beaune rouge, with balanced acids and light, dusty tannins, drinking quite well at the moment. I like the juiciness on offer on the palate, and the overall drinkability; certainly fresh considering the warm 2018 vintage. Lots of pleasure in a lighter, ready-to-drink village wine." Score: 90 Pts. - John Szabo, MS, Wine Align. Tasted June 2021.
Southbrook Laundry Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
VINTAGES #: 646885, $35.00 SHOP »»
"This Pinot is wild fermented and spends 12 months in French oak; only 10% of the wood is new. It has a frisky, bright nose of savoury cherries, brambly raspberries, cassis, spice and juniper and other wild herbs. There is lovely underlying earthiness on the palate with dense red berries, anise and integrated spice notes with length and vibrancy through the finish." Score: 90 Pts. - Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, October 7, 2020.
E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage 2018 (Shiraz/Syrah)
Northerm Rhône, France
VINTAGES#: 704908, $39.95 SHOP »»
"Tasted against the 2016 and 2017, Guigal's 2018 Crozes-Hermitage reveals another level of ripeness and plushness. It's full-bodied, maybe even a little jammy (not a problem at this youthful stage of its evolution), without being heavy or overdone." Drink date: 2021-2027. Score: 90-92 Pts. - Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, December 19, 2019.
Mas d'en Gil Coma Vella 2014 (Grenache/Syrah/Carignan)
Priorat DOCa, Spain
VINTAGES#: 18938, $49.95 SHOP »»
"The red 2014 Coma Vella feels a tad rustic in the context of the 2016s, which show great finesse. A blend of Garnacha with 20% Cariñena and 10% Syrah from the Coma Valley within the Mas d'en Gil property. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak vats, the wine matured in 225-, 1,500- and 3,000-liter oak barrels and vats for one year. It has some earthy notes reminiscent of the dusty Priorat roads, integrated oak and good ripeness but without excess. The palate is medium-bodied with dusty tannins and a dry, serious and mineral finish. Impressive. 35,658 bottles produced. Bottled in May 2016. Evolving quite slowly." Drink date: 2019-2025. Score: 92 Pts. - Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, August 30, 2019.
Trefethen Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Napa Valley, California, U.S.A.
VINTAGES#: 95752, $68.95 SHOP »»
"87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. One of the compelling reasons for the 'nesting' of Napa's AVAs is to prove just how different the Valley's sub-districts can be, something that this wine from Oak Knoll makes admirably clear. The wine is a dark opaque black, but its soft, respiring resins and calmly ordered fruits alert the drinker from the aromatic profile alone that the wine has nothing monstrous or disproportionate about it. It's ripe but supple and graceful, with as much juicy acidity as textured tannins: drinkable, accessible and fresh. The Napa hallmark of opulence is there in the succulent grain of the fruit, but in every other respect this is deft, finely judged midweight." Best in Show. Score: 97 Pts. - Decanter World Wine Awards, 2020.
