Aia Vecchia Sor Ugo 2016 Bordeaux Red Blend
$49.99Tuscany Italy
Wine Advocate 93 Rating
The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Sor Ugo offers thickly extracted aromas of blackberry preserves and cherry confit with smoke, tar and sweet spice. This is a full-bodied red (with 15% alcohol) that wraps thickly over the palate, showing rich density and concentration along the way. Campfire ash and hickory smoke appear on the close. The blend is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot aged in barrique for 18 months. SP44-1 -
Joseph Phelps 2020 Sauvignon Blanc
$49.99Napa Valley California
The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc leaps from the glass with aromatic white flower, orange blossom and pleasing citrus peel undertones. Round and richly textured with delicately laced acid and mineral notes, tangy ripe apple, candied pear, and lemon linger throughout the palate to a satisfying hibiscus, rose hip and vanilla finish. R15-1 -
Chateau Tour St-Christophe 2018 St-Emilion Grand Cru
$49.99Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Emerging from a beautiful, terraced vineyard on the eastern side of Saint-Emilion, the 2018 Château Tour Saint Christophe is based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 40% new French oak. Its vivid purple color is followed by a great nose of blackcurrants, blueberries, tobacco leaf, chocolate, violets, and chocolate. Hitting the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, it has this wonderful sense of purity and elegance, a touch of chalky minerality, flawless balance, and a great finish. This beautiful, elegant, seamless Saint-Emilion needs 4-5 years of bottle age but will evolve for 20-25 years. You won't regret having this in the cellar. 95+. SP54-8 R7-2 -
Far Mountain 2020 Fission Cabernet Sauvignon
$48.99Moon Mountain District Sonoma
Enjoyabilityfactor 94 Rating
The wine is dark, fresh and young. Enters with density and freshness together with a long mid palate. Earthy notes are present together with spices and dry herbs combined with the black fruit. Graphite gives way to bright, red fruit on a textural palate marked by mountain minerality. Balance and bright flavors, tannins are present yet in a subtle and soft way. Its defined structure along with fine-grained tannins that are present, yet soft, result in a complex finish that will allow the wine to age gracefully. -
Elk Cove 2021 Pinot Noir Clay Court Vineyard
$44.99Willamette Valley Oregon
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
Deep ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Clay Court is layered with floral and spice notes as well as black raspberry liqueur, anise, mossy earth, and cracked pepper. Medium to full-bodied, with an elegant mouthfeel and a beautiful texture, it offers fine tannins and a silky, clean, rounded palate of fruit. Long on the palate and very well-balanced, it’s hard to resist now, but I imagine this will improve over the next 6-8 years. SP8-6 -
Elk Cove 2022 Pinot Noir Mount Richmond
$44.99Willamette Valley Oregon
Wine Spectator 94 Rating
Rich yet graceful and well-knit, with lilting flavors of raspberry and blackberry that take on clove and tobacco accents as this builds structure and polish toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 1,187 cases made. SP9-6 -
Palladino 2019 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D’Alba
$44.99Piedmont Italy
Wine Enthusiast 93 Rating
This wine opens with forward aromas of black cherry, allspice, thyme and black tea. The palate sits with gravitas and purpose with dark berries at its core followed by forest floor, truffle and a chalky minerality. Drink now–2040. R18-6 -
Antigal One 2017 Malbec La Dolores Vineyard Gualtallary
$44.99Mendoza Argentina
Wine Enthusiast 93 Rating
Share Tweet
Deep blackberry, cassis, prune, vanilla and graphite aromas open this powerfully built Malbec that’s fully saturated and fully oaked. Toasty blackberry flavors are distinctly chocolaty on the back side. The wine tastes of black licorice, café mocha and black pepper on the finish. Drink 2023–2030. R30-3 -
Chateau De Sales 2020 Pomerol
$44.99Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Rating
I loved the 2020 Chateau De Sales from barrel, and it’s showing beautifully from bottle. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as a ripe, sexy, medium to full-bodied style, it has ripe, supple tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and classic aromatics of ripe black cherries, plums, licorice, spring flowers, and damp earth. It’s another beautiful, layered, elegant Pomerol in the vintage that will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age. Best After 2026. SPBX-12
