    Impressively dark in the glass, this bottling pairs intense purple fruit and flower on this nose with more roasted, umami-laden aromas. The elegant palate is a master class in tannin management, proving firm in structure yet soft in mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberry jam, cocoa, walnut and cracked pepper ride a lingering acidity into the finish. R12-3

  • Darioush Signature 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

    Darioush Signature 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

    Price range: $149.99 through $690.00

    Napa Valley California
    The 2022 vintage-a pure varietal expression-opens with bold aromas of ripe blackcurrant and crushed blueberries, unfolding into layers of sun-dried fig, black raspberry, and juicy Damson plum. Notes of dark cocoa, spiced sandalwood, and smoked thyme weave through the expansive palate, enhancing its rich, velvety texture. Firm yet polished tannins extend through a satisfying finish, accented by hints of graphite, dried lavender, and a lift of candied orange peel. This sophisticated wine promises to evolve beautifully with cellar age.

    Wine Advocate 95 Rating
    This includes fruit from the Davis Estates vineyard, Beckstoffer Georges III and Palisades vineyards. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 4% Petite Sirah aged for 28 months in 85% new French oak, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Phase V from winemaker Philippe Melka is very deep purple-black in color and features fragrant crème de cassis, preserved plums and baked cherries with touches of baking spices, garrigue, tapenade and tobacco plus a hint of pepper. The palate is medium to full-bodied with loads of elegantly played black fruit and spicy notions, framed by chewy tannins and finishing long. 464 cases produced, to be released in April 2019. SP21-1

    Notes of smoke and spice mingle into honeysuckle and lychee in this perfumed, fruity white. The palate is opulent and creamy, packed with white peach, lychee and apricot flavors. It is freshened by a lingering mineral crush and hints of fresh herb and leaf. Enjoy this complex, hedonistic wine now through 2030. R38-3

    Up with some of the greatest Cote Roties out there is Delas's 2010 Cote Rotie la Landonne. Revealing an inky purple color as well as an incredible perfume of spring flowers, violets, black raspberries, graphite and Asian spice, it has drop-dead gorgeous purity, full-bodied richness and a seamless, layered texture that fails to completely cover the wine's underlying tannic grip. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 16 months in new French oak, hide bottles in the cellar for another 4-5 years and enjoy them over the following three decades. SP35-4

  • DeLille Cellars 2019 Chaleur Blanc

    DeLille Cellars 2019 Chaleur Blanc

    $34.99

    Columbia Valley Washington State
    Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
    One of the best Bordeaux Blanc blends coming out of Washington, the 2019 Chaleur Blanc checks in as 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Semillon that was barrel fermented and aged in 60% new oak. Honeyed grapefruit, white flowers, sappy, green herbs, and a kiss of minerality all define the bouquet, and this beauty is medium-bodied, with a beautifully balanced, concentrated mouthfeel and a great finish. It ranks with the top examples of this cuvée I've tasted. R21-1

  • Denner Vineyards 2018 Dirt Worshipper

    Denner Vineyards 2018 Dirt Worshipper

    Wine Advocate 96 Rating
    The 2018 Dirt Worshipper Syrah, blended with a 1% splash each of Roussanne and Viognier, is a stunning Syrah, with an opaque ruby-purple color and a powerhouse nose that's fierce and wild: iron, black licorice, tar, chargrill and coffee emerge along with sparks of white pepper and intense cassis-like fruit. The palate is incredible, exploding with flavor but grounded with round, plush tannins and loads of juicy uplift that carries the long finish. It evolved over many days after the cork was popped, which suggests it will age gracefully in the cellar over the next 15+ years. 1,298 cases produced. SP15-1

    $249.99

    Alexander Valley Sonoma County California
    Wine Advocate 98 Rating
    The 2021 Farrow Ranch Cima Ladera is a brand-new wine from Devil Proof. It comes from vines planted in 1989 at Farrow Ranch in Alexander Valley, which winemaker Jesse Katz acquired in 2021. “I’ve been trying to get into this vineyard block for years,” he exclaims. “I had to purchase the vineyard to get it!” It’s a blend of 65% Malbec and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and was matured for 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has ringing scents of maraschino cherries and blueberries with accents of bitter chocolate, spearmint, vanilla, lilac and aniseed, offering up new nuances with each return to the glass. The full-bodied palate is lovely! It balances tremendously concentrated flavors with bright acidity and velvety tannins, and it has a very long finish with a fan of spicy accents. This is fantastically expressive and so singular! Only 580 cases were made. SP29-3

  • Domain Jean Francois 2020 Pinot Noir The Twelve Rows from Sanford & Benedict Vineyard

    Domain Jean Francois 2020 Pinot Noir The Twelve Rows from Sanford & Benedict Vineyard

    $99.99

    Santa Rita Hills California
    Wine Advocate 98 Rating
    The 2020 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir The Twelve Rows is a fantastic wine with tremendous flavor-to-weight ratio. Medium ruby, the nose blossoms continually from dried red cherries, strawberries and raspberries to wafts of graphite, woodsmoke, bergamot, tea leaves and violet. The medium-bodied palate’s flavors echo all those lovely aromatics, offering wave after wave of perfumed red fruit. It has abundant, finely grained tannins and is bursting with refreshing acidity that continues to call you back to the glass on the hauntingly long finish. This is the first iteration of Twelve Rows Pinot Noir that was made with destemmed fruit; generally, it is vinified with 40-60% whole clusters. It has resulted in a pure, layered expression.
