    A picture of elegance and finesse, with cherry, strawberry, floral and stony mineral aromas and flavors, this red is charming and seamless enough to enjoy now, yet will improve with age. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity provide structure, while the finish lingers. Best from 2024 through 2042. SP4-6

    An impressive Gevrey-Chambertain that has so much fruity charm and the gentle tannins underline this very nicely. Thankfully, no attempt was made to make some kind of bold statement. Quite dry finish, but this helps to give the wine vitality. Drink or hold. R19-1

    The stunning wild-blackberry nose pulls you into this medium-to full-bodied Pommard that’s brimming with fruit and has a stack of fine tannins. Lots of drive and minerality, but not a trace of the dryness that this appellation is famous for. Drink or hold. R15-1

    This is so sensual that it’s dangerous and it ought to be classified as a listed drug! So sweet, silky and delicate, in spite of the excellent structure behind it. Only medium-bodied, but in a particular way that increases its appeal. Then comes the very fresh finish that makes it positively refreshing. Drink or hold. R15-2

    The brick red-colored 2019 Barolo has an expressive nose woven with notes of dried cherries, menthol, black truffles, and pine. It boasts a good deal of energy on the palate, with ripe concentration, an even spine of acidity, and a sanguine lift of iron on the finish. Offering ripe tannins, a velvety texture, and a good finish, this is a solid entry Barolo to enjoy over the next 5-6 years. R44-4

    Bottled in September of this year, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate checks in as 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc brought up in French oak. Its inky purple color is followed by classic notes of blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings, spring flowers, and hints of crushed rock. Deep, seamless, ultra-pure, and incredibly classic on the palate, it's another brilliant, classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from winemaker Morgan Maureze. It’s slightly more reserved than the 2015 (which is to be expected as the vintages are dramatically different) and is going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age. R26-2

    This was tasted as a barrel sample. A blend of Bordeaux varieties, the 2017 M by Marciano has a deep garnet-purple color and comes strutting out of the glass with the most gorgeous perfume of lilacs, red roses and baking spices, over a core of warm cassis, blackberry pie and preserved blueberries with wafts of pencil shavings and black loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly crafted with a quiet intensity and compelling tension, textured with beautifully fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant. SP11-1

    From a single acre of estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc, our fruit is harvested in successive small picks to accentuate the nuances of the vineyard and add dimension to the resulting wine. The Marciano Estate Blanc is aged in a combination of small concrete and French oak barrels to yield a layered wine, elegantly balanced for longevity. The vibrant 2017 vintage has captivating notes of nectarine, lychee, and minerals, complemented by hints of honeysuckle and citrus zest. Only 115 cases made. BX-3

    Aromas of blackberries and black cherries are intermixed with espresso. A powerful mouthfeel reveals extracted flavors of roasted black fruits and spice showcased within supple tannins. Concentration and lingering rich flavors on the long finish are the hallmarks of this wine. SP25-2
