Lingua Franca 2022 Mimi’s Mind Pinot Noir
$69.99Eola-Amity Hills Oregon
Wine Spectator 95 Rating
Fleshy in texture but steely at the core, with vibrant acidity and crushed stone accents framed by raspberry, guava, fresh violet and black tea flavors that gather tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034. 586 cases made. SP7-6 -

Coming from two estate vineyards consisting of pure volcanic soils, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District sports deep purple/ruby color to go with a brilliant, full-bodied, seamless wine that’s going to flirt with perfection at maturity. Blackcurrants, chocolate, loamy earth, tobacco, and violet notes define the bouquet, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a voluptuous, layered mouthfeel, ample tannins, and a great finish. This is another magical, mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from this estate that needs a good 4-5 years of bottle age, if not more, and will cruise for decades in cold cellars. R19-2 SP22-1 -

Long Shadows 2013 Pirouette
$59.99Columbia Valley Washington
Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
While a step back from the blockbuster 2012, Philippe Melka’s 2013 Pirouette is no slouch and offers serious amounts of ripe black cherry fruits, graphite, hints of chocolate and plenty of sweet oak in a beautifully concentrated, ripe, textured package. Made from 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc (mostly from Red Mountain) that spent 22 months in 75% new French oak, give bottle 3-5 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following decade or more.

Long Shadows 2017 Chester Kidder Red Blend
$49.99Columbia Valley
Wine Enthusiast 93 Rating
Aromas of black fruit, anise, vanilla, cocoa and other barrel spices are followed by pitch-black, rich, hedonistic fruit flavors that bring the acidity and tannin structure of the vintage. It's intense, but with plenty of sophistication. A lengthy finish, caps it off. Best after 2025. R20-4 -
Long Shadows 2019 Sequel Syrah
$54.99Columbia Valley
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
The 2019 Syrah Sequel is a big, rich, meaty, powerful beauty offering copious amounts of ripe black fruits as well as ground pepper, chocolate, graphite, and spicy oak all soaring from the glass. It packs a punch, as always, with its ripe, sexy style, yet it shows the cooler, elegant style of the vintage beautifully and is balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to cruise for 10-12 years in cold cellars. regular $64.99 R14-4 -
Louis Jadot 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules
$99.99Cote de Beaune Cote d'Or Burgundy France
Wine Spectator 95 Rating
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 -
Louis Latour 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin
$79.99Burgundy France
James Suckling 92 Rating
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 -
Louis Latour 2020 Pommard Epenots Premier Cru
$129.99Burgundy France
James Suckling 95 Rating
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
