| Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut NV
"This particular cuvee is made by blending various parcels of Chardonnay grown in Le Mesnil sur Oger. The wines used are specially selected for their finesse and ethereal qualities which give the wines their complex and mouth-waterring flavours. This seductive Champagne is a reflection of the house style of Le Mesnil and is perfect throughout a meal, from aperitif to dessert and indeed at any any time of the day or night."
Producer Notes, Champagne Le Mesnil
Max. Ferd. Richter Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett #09 2018
"Mostly from very old vines (80 to 90 years old) and vinified partly (one-third) in stainless steel, the 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers a fine, flinty, super sensual, mind-blowing bouquet of perfectly ripe but coolish, precise and even quartzite-like aromas. On the palate, the wine is wide, pure, elegant and energetic—a powerhouse but in the most delicious and delicate way. The palate is complex, opening wide but always precise and very, very long, with great mineral grip and tension but also lush and sensual features. This is a great Mosel Riesling indeed. Tasted from the cask in March 2019."
93-95 Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
Maison d’Amis Chenin Blanc 2016
This Chenin Blanc is sustainably farmed in Clarksburg, California. It was barrel fermented with native yeasts. 119 cases produced. This wine pairs well with charcuterie and pancetta wrapped pork tenderloin cooked with apples, baked ham and of course turkey!
Michael Villas, Maison d'Amis
Y. Clerget Meursault Les Chevalières 2017
"A discreet application of wood can be found on the very fresh, elegant and admirably pure aromas of apple, various citrus nuances and acacia blossom. The sleek and refined middle weight flavors exude an appealing bead of minerality on the attractively textured, clean and dry finish. This chiseled and delicate effort is textbook Chevalières."
90 Allen Meadows, Burghound
Daniel Bouland Côte-de-Brouilly Cuvée Mélanie 2017
"From a south-facing site near Château Thivin, the 2017 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Melanie exhibits a deep bouquet of blackberry, wild berries, grilled meat, dark chocolate and licorice. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and ample, with a juicy core of fruit, ripe but chewy structuring tannins in abundance and a gourmand, layered profile."
92+ William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
The Joy Fantastic Pinot Noir 2016
This wine is beautifully balanced and expressive. Its aromas and flavors of wild strawberries, savory spices, and dried earth should pair it superbly with a roast leg of lamb in a pomegranate, wine reduction sauce."
94 Wilfred Wong
Domaine Georges Glantenay Volnay Les Santenots 2017
"Generous wood and menthol nuances stop just short of fighting with the ultra-fresh spiced cherry and plum, Asian-style tea and violet scents. There is fine concentration to the round, velvety and rich larger-scaled flavors that terminate in a firm and dusty finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. Note that my projected range assumes that the wood treatment will ultimately be integrated."
91-93 Allen Meadows, Burghound
Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2017
"As always, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes has a touch more dark fruits, more concentration, and more structure, which makes it less approachable but more age-worthy. Blackcurrants, ground pepper, bouquet garni, crushed rocks, and garrigue notes all emerge from this structured, focused, yet ripe and beautifully textured Châteauneuf Du Pape that's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age." 94+ Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
Holus Bolus Syrah Presqu'ile Vineyard 2017 "The 2017 Holus Bolus Syrah is sourced from Presqu'ile Vineyard, a shining example of a site where Burgundian varietals can successfully be grown next to those of the Rhône in Santa Barbara County. It displays a rustic and roasted bouquet of liquorice, cardamom and espresso. The palate is soft and pretty, with notes of acai berry, graphite and sage. There's a powdery texture to the already-integrated tannins, and a refined char to the finish."
94 Matthew Luczy, Decanter
Brovia Barolo 2015
"Always a stunning value and a perfect encapsulation of the Brovia house style, their Barolo “normale” is comprised 60% of a portion of their holdings in Brea (the oldest and best-exposed vines are bottled separately as “Ca’Mia”—see below) and 40% of the younger vines of their three crus in Castiglione Falletto. One feels both the spicy, boisterous generosity of Serralunga d’Alba and the mineral thrust of Castiglione Falletto in this wine, and the 2015 is a particularly layered, dynamic version, offering excellent concentration but relative accessibility at this early stage."
Importer Notes, Rosenthal Wine Merchant
Suduiraut 2016
“The 2016 Suduiraut is fabulous. Crème brȗlée, passion fruit, tangerine peel and exotic floral notes all race out of the glass. I marvel at how Suduiraut can deliver so much flavor intensity and yet remain so gracious and classy. The 140 grams of residual sugar are very well integrated. This is such a gorgeous wine."
