Vincent Gaudry 2024 Sancerre Le Tournebride
Price range: $59.99 through $576.00Loire Valley France
Coming from a relatively late vintage, this Sancerre is immediately distinguished by the sensation of freshness and purity it gives off. Barely opened, it releases subtle menthol notes between lemon balm, minty verbena and peppermint. Cilantro is not far away either, as is green tea. With aeration, it gains in aromatic amplitude, on a more greedy register of peach in syrup, juicy pear. Then come intense citrus aromas, allowing us to perceive a very accurate balance between the ripe fruit and the initial freshness. Menton lemon, grapefruit peel, clementine: the whole is accompanied by deeper, slightly lactic notes, reminiscent of fresh yoghurt or lassi. More iodized and saline shades reminiscent of sea spray and sea breezes now blow above the glass.

$69.99Burgundy France
Jeb Dunnuck 91 Rating
Coming from 60-year-old vines and brought up in 15% new oak, the 2017 Meursault Les Vieilles Vignes offers a solid bouquet of stone fruits and buttered citrus as well as green almonds and white flowers. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with a subtle sense of minerality on the finish, it's an outstanding, classy Meursault to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years or so. R36-2 -

Sporting a saturated purple color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon VHR is a total blockbuster that spent 21 months in French oak. It knocks it out of the park with its Pauillac-like bouquet of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, damp earth, lead pencil shavings, and cedarwood. Hitting the palate with a massive texture and full body, it’s a powerful, full throttle effort that has remarkable balance, ripe tannins, and an opulent, sexy texture that’s a joy to drink. Despite its flamboyant style, it’s perfectly balanced and is a sensational wine. Feel free to drink it any time over the coming 20-25 years. Bravo! SP31-2 -
Vine Hill Ranch 2021 VHR Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon rolls out of the glass with expressive scents of freshly crushed black cherries, warm cassis, and juicy blackberries followed by hints of menthol, dark chocolate, licorice, and cinnamon stick plus a fragrant waft of violets. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with vibrant black fruits and loads of baking spice sparks, framed by exquisitely ripe tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing very long and achingly perfumy. 946 cases were made.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru Napa Valley spent 18 months in 65% new barrels, with the rest in once-used oak. Cassis, blueberries, tobacco, and smoky oak notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, textured 2021 with ripe yet firmer tannins, a terrific sense of freshness and purity, and outstanding balance. This classic, impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is well worth seeking out and will evolve for 15+ years. BX-6

Vineyard 29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 Aida Vineyard
$188.99Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 98 Rating
Share Tweet
On the valley floor, with an almost Châteauneuf du Pape layer of small stones, is the Aida Estate, one of my favorite vineyards just north of St. Helena. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc aged 20 months in three-fourths new French oak. The good news is that there are 800 cases of this magnificent wine, with a somewhat Graves-like scorched-earth, charcoal, burning ember-scented nose, with notes of hot earth, blackberry and cassis fruit. Big, full-bodied, exuberant and rich, this thick, unctuously textured, purple wine should drink beautifully for 25-30 or more years. SP30-10 -

L’Assemblage has a brilliant golden color, marked by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals a complex and refined bouquet: crisp red fruits, ripe citrus fruits, floral notes and delicate hints of sweet spices. On the palate, the enveloping structure of the Pinot Noir balances perfectly with the freshness and elegance of the Chardonnay, creating a symphony of flavors culminating in a long, harmonious and slightly savory finish. Versatile and refined, L’Assemblage is offered to be universally appreciated, capable of winning over both lovers of more structured Champagne and those who prefer elegance and freshness.
