Verite 2012 Le Desir
$399.99Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 100 Rating
Share Tweet
The 2012 Le Desir (64% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec) reminds me of a young vintage of Ausone, such as 2005. The wine has amazing minerality and an explosive blueberry nose intermixed with blackberries, new saddle leather, charcoal and camphor. It is full-bodied, with espresso notes emerging on the palate. There are 1,900 cases of this super-endowed, prodigious wine that should drink well for 35-40 years. How fun it would be for mega-millionaires to put this in a blind tasting of a great vintage of Ausone in 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Drink: 2015-2055. SP22-1 -

Vermillion by Keplinger 2022 Red Blend
$29.99 – $300.00California
The Vermillion Red shows pure blackberry, raspberry, and huckleberry and a finish laced with dried savory herbs, oolong tea, and rosemary. Incredibly generous on the palate, the wine has staying power without being overdone whatsoever. Well integrated oak here, which is impressive given the 16 months of elevage. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Veuve Clicquot 2015 Brut Vintage Champagne
$89.99 – $450.00Champagne France
Enjoyabilityfactor 93 Rating
Bright yellow. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, citrus fruit zest, dried apricot, dates, marmalade, toast, biscuit, praline. This wine stands out for its elegance, tension and energy. The first impression is of its tension, verticality and minerality, after which the wine unfolds its aromas of toast, roasted coffee beans and praline. The excellent structure makes this a fine, upstanding vintage.

Veuve Fourny & Fils Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Premier Cru NV
$59.99 – $636.00Champagne France
Without doubt, one of the best grower Champagnes on the market today. While this compares very favorably with the bigger houses, what you get is something worth so much more. Of all the grower Champanges we sell, this is without doubt the most popular and for one reason, it’s just so darn nice. Like most non-vintage Champagnes, this embodies the house style at Veuve Fourny impeccably well with elegant aromatics, a highly refined texture and a combination of orchard fruit and minerals that embraces Champagne’s more elegant side.

Veuve Fourny Brut Rose 1er Cru
$59.99 – $600.00Champagne France
Antonio Galloni 91 Rating
The NV Brut Rosé is another enticing wine in this range. Rich and creamy, the Rosé delivers the goods. All the elements are so well balanced. Hints of cranberry, mint, white pepper and dried herbs build nicely in the glass, framed by bright saline accents that lend crystalline precision and cut throughout.

Vietti 2019 Castiglione Barolo
$69.99 – $348.00Piedmont Italy
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
This is the most accessible Barolo from Vietti and the wine that casts the biggest net in terms of fruit sourcing from across many MGA sites. The 2019 Barolo Castiglione is a layered and generous wine that reflects the main takeaways offered by this very successful vintage. In fact, because this wine is not from a single site, it speaks more to the quality of the vintage than it does to any one specific vineyard. The Castiglione reveals generous richness and concentrated cherry fruit with dark saturation and good structure that comes from the thicker skins developed on Nebbiolo grapes this year. It concludes with a salty mineral note that adds focus and elegance. R18-4
