  • Verite 2017 La Joie

    $399.99

    Sonoma County California

    Tasting like a great bottle of Château Lafite, the 2017 La Joie is based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon and brought up, I suspect, in mostly new French oak. Deep ruby/purple, with a heavenly bouquet of crème de cassis, lead pencil, cedarwood, graphite, and tobacco, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, an incredible sense of elegance and purity, building tannins, and a great, great finish. This majestic, regal Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is going to require a decade of cellaring to hit maturity (although it’s far from unapproachable today) and will see its 50th birthday in fine form. I followed this bottle for three days and it never showed a hint of oxidation. This is easily my wine of the vintage in 2017. R20-1

  • Vermillion by Keplinger 2019 Red Blend

    $29.99$300.00

    California

    A kitchen sink blend (I think it’s mostly Grenache) that’s 80% from the Sierra Foothills and the rest from Sonoma and Napa, the ruby-hued 2019 Vermillion is a fruit-forward, incredibly charming, satisfying red offering medium-bodied aromas and flavors of spiced red fruits, sandalwood, and white and black pepper. It’s beautifully balanced, has fine tannins, no hard edges, and a clean, dry finish that keeps you coming back to the glass.

  • Veuve Fourny & Fils Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Premier Cru NV

    $59.99$636.00

    Champagne France
    Without doubt, one of the best grower Champagnes on the market today. While this compares very favorably with the bigger houses, what you get is something worth so much more. Of all the grower Champanges we sell, this is without doubt the most popular and for one reason, it’s just so darn nice. Like most non-vintage Champagnes, this embodies the house style at Veuve Fourny impeccably well with elegant aromatics, a highly refined texture and a combination of orchard fruit and minerals that embraces Champagne’s more elegant side.

  • Veuve Fourny Brut Rose 1er Cru

    $59.99$600.00

    Champagne France
    Antonio Galloni 91 Rating
    The NV Brut Rosé is another enticing wine in this range. Rich and creamy, the Rosé delivers the goods. All the elements are so well balanced. Hints of cranberry, mint, white pepper and dried herbs build nicely in the glass, framed by bright saline accents that lend crystalline precision and cut throughout.

  • VHR Vine Hill Ranch 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

    $349.99

    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! SPBX-3

  • Vietti 2019 Castiglione Barolo

    $69.99$348.00

    Piedmont Italy
    Wine Advocate 95 Rating
    This is the most accessible Barolo from Vietti and the wine that casts the biggest net in terms of fruit sourcing from across many MGA sites. The 2019 Barolo Castiglione is a layered and generous wine that reflects the main takeaways offered by this very successful vintage. In fact, because this wine is not from a single site, it speaks more to the quality of the vintage than it does to any one specific vineyard. The Castiglione reveals generous richness and concentrated cherry fruit with dark saturation and good structure that comes from the thicker skins developed on Nebbiolo grapes this year. It concludes with a salty mineral note that adds focus and elegance. R18-4

  • Vietti 2020 Barbera d’Asti Tre Vigne

    $19.99$216.00

    Piedmont Italy
    Wine Enthusiast 93 Rating
    Vietti continues to achieve year in and year out. The 2020 “Tre Vigne” Barbera continues that streak with a wine that begins with all bass notes. Deep and dark aromas of black cherry, roasted plums, candied violets and sweet spices. The wine is juicy and lush on the palate with gobs of blackberries and a touch of dried lavender and savory spice. The wine finishes with a brightness needed to keep the wine fresh.

  • Vietti 2022 Roero Arneis

    $23.99$240.00

    Piedmont Italy
    Pale straw yellow color with fresh floral, citrus and melon aromas with almond hints. An unoaked, dry, medium bodied white wine with crisp acidity, the Arneis is a well-balanced, elegant wine with good complexity and a lingering finish. Great as an aperitif with light hors d’oeuvres, crudités, seafood, salads, light soups, simply prepared veal, pork, chicken and creamy cheese.

    This red Côtes-du-Ventoux comes from a nice blend (grenache, carignan, syrah) which gives birth to a bouquet wine with subtle aromas of red fruits with hints of spices and garrigue. The palate is harmonious, supple and generous with an elegant spicy finish.
