Domaine Della 2018 Pinot Noir
$69.99Santa Lucia Highlands California
Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating

Located south of Monterey, the Santa Lucia Highlands is a great AVA that produces an amazing amount of outstanding Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrahs. Starting with the appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands, it comes all from the Soberanes Vineyard (in the relative center/southern end of the appellation) and spent 15 months in 47% new French oak. This beautiful, elegant, complex wine displays the fruit-loaded style of the appellation yet stays balanced, nicely textured, and even elegant. Black cherries, black raspberries, leafy herbs, a touch of flowers, and some earthy/forest floor notes all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with a soft, supple texture, again, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's slightly less expensive than the single vineyard, but I think it’s just as good. SP1-2 -

Turley 2015 Zinfandel Duarte Contra Costa County
$69.99California
Antonio Galloni 91 Rating
The 2015 Zinfandel Duarte Vineyard is powerful, bold and direct in this vintage. Dark cherry, violet, spice and plum are front and center. Juicy, forward and supple, the 2015 is a good choice for drinking young, while the fruit remains vibrant. As always, Duarte is a blend of four sites; Evangelho, Del Barba and Mori, plus a bit of Salvador. SP19-1 -

A Cellar Selection
This stunning wine opens with enticing aromas of menthol, star anise, wild berry and tobacco. Full-bodied yet weightless and boasting great energy, the delicious palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and baking spice framed in firm, refined tannins. It's well-balanced by fresh acidity. Drink 2026–2038. R26-3 -
Tyler 2019 Mae Estate Chardonnay
$69.99Santa Rita Hills California
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
Mae Estate is brand new cuvée from Tyler. “This place came on the market in 2014,” explains winemaker Justin Tyler Willett. “We had contemplated buying a place, so we will break ground here in 2022 on a new winery.” Located in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation on marine sediment soils, the Mae Estate will become the new home for Tyler wines. The 2019 Chardonnay Mae Estate is a beautiful first iteration. The nose features creamy panna cotta, lemon peel and pastry aromas streaked with sweet spice, and the palate has a unique satiny texture that coats the mouth and draws out its plush, creamy citrus and apricot layers. Don't hesitate to try this promising new cuvée from Tyler.

Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 2018 Grand Cru Classe Pauillac
$69.99Bordeaux
Vinous 94 Rating
The 2018 Grand Puy Ducasse is just as impressive as it was en primeur. Readers will find a heady, richly textured Pauillac loaded with character. Technical Director Anne Le Naour and consulting oenologist Hubert de Bouärd coaxed tremendous richness from the 2018 while avoiding some of the excesses of the recent past. The result is a wine that delivers on all levels. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mint, licorice, sweet spice and a touch of new oak build into a striking crescendo on the lush, persistent finish. BX-6

Casaloste 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
$69.99Tuscany Italy
James Suckling 95 Rating
The blue fruits are so intense on the nose but they are really pure. Elderberries, crushed violets, cinnamon, blueberry peel, lemon rind, oranges and blackcurrant essence are all a feature. The palate shows the same intensity but in a held-back structure with tannins that float effortlessly over the layers of taut fruit and bright acidity. A long and chewy yet somehow delicate finish. Drink in 2022. SP44-1 -
