Taylor Fladgate Golden Age 50 Year Very Old Tawny Port
$339.99Portugal
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
The NV 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a field blend bottled with a bar-top cork in 2022 and with 158 grams of residual sugar. Mature, with dark chocolate nuances, this is rich, deep and sensationally delicious. The concentration is exceptional too. Then, there's the long, long finish, filled with fruit and sugar. It is irresistible, in addition to being nuanced and complex. It's young enough so that it is never just a curiosity. The fruit is certainly not cracking. Drink: 2022-2060. Wall-2 -

Tenuta Argentiera 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera
$124.99Tuscany Italy
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
Sporting a special ten-year anniversary label printed on silver paper, the 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is a beautiful wine and is certainly the best expression I have yet to taste from Tenuta Argentiera. The results are smooth and silky, and the wine reveals beautiful integration and finesse. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc (aged in oak for 18 months). It is bursting with blackberry, dried cherry, spice, tobacco and grilled herb. The mouthfeel is firm and powerful, but never too heavy. The Tenuta Argentiera estate is really coming into its own and is showing steady and encouraging growth, year after year. SP45-2 -

Share Tweet
A delightful nose of creme de cassis, hot stones and crushed violets and spices. Full body, chewy and super polished tannins and a long finish, which really takes off thanks to electric acidity. An essay in balance and depth. Best ever. Puts Argentiera with the best of the best in Tuscany. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. SP46-1 -

The Vineyard House 2021 Crabb’s Black Burgundy Block 5 Cabernet Franc
$154.99Hermosa Vineyard Oakville Napa Valley
Enjoyabilityfactor 99 Rating
The Cabernet Franc Crabb’s Black Burgundy Block 5 comes from the Hermosa Vineyard and a block that sits immediately adjacent to Harlan Estate. The 2021 The Vineyard House Cabernet Franc, Block 5 is a blend of 87% Cabernet Franc and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is deep ruby and opaque; the bouquet is elegant with its florals perhaps dominating the fruits including of African violets and rose petals, accompanied by notes of raspberry jam, red plums and boysenberry. This is a riper expression of the variety but still offers plenty of varietal characteristics. On the palate there are darker fruited flavors including boysenberry jam, blackberry, dark plum and Persian mulberry. The tannins offer a firm and long-term tug, broadly coating with a persistent grainy, gravelly and dusty/chalky character. And there are some baking spice influences including cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Of all their bottlings, their Cabernet Franc perhaps pairs best with spicy food. Winemakers: Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky. BX-3 R3-1 -

Three Sticks 2023 Pinot Noir Gap’s Crown Vineyard
Price range: $69.99 through $348.00Sonoma Coast California
The Tasting Panel 95 Rating
If there’s a superstar site in Petaluma Gap, it’s Gap’s Crown Vineyard, where persistent winds and fog ensure a long hangtime. The results show in this exciting whole-cluster red aged 15 months in (45% new) French oak. A pinch of earthiness lightly touches cinnamon-dusted cherries as the liquid’s delicacy graces the palate like a lace veil. Pomegranate is spiced with clove and bright acidity imparts freshness, satisfying through the juicy, dark-fruited finish. R3-3

Turley 2014 Petite Sirah Library Vineyard Napa Valley
$99.99California
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
Noticeably floral with blueberries and blackberries is the 2014 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard, from a site adjacent to the Hayne Vineyard on the back streets of St. Helena. Again, this has civilized tannins that are silky and well-integrated, followed by a wine with an enormous wealth of fruit, lavish concentration, and extravagant texture and richness. It is always hard to peg when these will hit full maturity, but this one has a good 5-10 years of development and should keep for three decades as well. SP19-1 -

Turley 2016 Petite Sirah Hayne Vineyard Napa Valley
$114.99California
Wine Advocate 96 Rating
he 2016 Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard is the most perfumed and elegant of Turley’s Petite Syrahs (they don’t spell it “Sirah”) this year, unfurling in the glass with a pure and fragrant bouquet of cassis, dark plums, rose petals and pencil lead. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a deep core of vibrant, juicy fruit, satiny but abundant tannins and a long finish. It’s an exceptional wine from a singular vineyard. SP15-1
