Louis Roederer Champagne Brut 'Cristal' 2008

Louis Roederer Champagne Brut 'Cristal' 2008 (FR)

"'This is so fresh and tense and mineral with extremely exuberant chardonnay notes on the nose of white peach, lemon and yellow grapefruit, and hints of almost brambly sous bois aromas. The palate is super long, and very pure, powerful and focused. It drives deep and taut. Staggeringly concentrated, yet the balance makes it seem airy and light." ~ JS

Drew Pinot Noir 'Fog Eater' Anderson Valley 2017

Drew Pinot Noir 'Fog Eater' Anderson Valley 2017 (CA)

"...gorgeous and also one of the finest wines I have tasted from Jason Drew. Bright, floral and beautifully lifted, it is all class. Freshly cut roses, raspberry and mint give the 2017 its distinctive, high-toned personality. The fog Eater is an especially gracious, refined Anderson Valley Pinot. I loved it." ~ VM

Poggio Scalette 'Il Carbonaione' Toscana 2015

Poggio Scalette 'Il Carbonaione' Toscana 2015 (IT)

"Sit back and enjoy this very rich but beautifully polished Tuscan red, which is the essence of the Sangiovese grape. Great concentration and a very long and silky finish that has a great bitter sweet chocolate character. Beautiful now, but it has many, many years ahead of it." ~ JS

La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva '904' 2010

La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva '904' 2010 (SP)

"It has to be among the greatest modern time vintages of this mythical bottling, where they aim for a wine that has a long aging potential. The palate is polished but shows plenty of energy and tension, the tannins are very fine and elegant, and the flavors are focused and clean. A legend in the making." ~ WA

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 'Ovello' 2014

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 'Ovello' 2014 (IT)

"...bright and piercing, as it so often is, and yet it also has more than enough fruit to fill out its mid-weight, energetic frame. Pine, mint, crushed rocks and sweet red plum build into the huge, piercing finish. Even in the early going it is super impressive. The 2014 s an unusually dense, packed Ovello." ~VM

Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon 'Private Reserve' Napa 2010

Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon 'Private Reserve' Napa 2010 (CA)

"A dense, rich and powerful expression, with loads of dark berry, loamy earth and crushed rock flavors that show pockets of black licorice, road tar and dried flowers. Ends with rich, chewy tannins that give the lingering flavors traction. Should be long-lived." ~ Wine Spectator

O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2016 (CA)

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is gorgeous. Vibrant and focused, with tons of savory energy, the Napa Valley Cabernet is once again a huge overachiever in this range. An exotic mélange of black cherry, plum, pomegranate, blood orange, chocolate, savory herb, leather and sage builds into the deep, resonant finish. Don't miss it!" ~ VM

Ridge Vineyards 'Geyserville' Sonoma 2016

Ridge Vineyards 'Geyserville' Sonoma 2016 (CA)

'A powerful, tightly wound wine. Beams of supporting tannin and acidity give it a distinctly virile, imposing personality. Black cherry, graphite, lavender, and spice are all laced throughout. There is a purity to the 2016 that is absolutely striking.' ~ Vinous Media
