Bertani 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
$129.99 – $720.00Veneto Italy
James Suckling 98 Rating
Wow. Such a complex nose, with a base of dried cherry, spruced up with hints of mild coffee and walnuts. Then there are dried flowers, wild herbs and spices, such as tarragon and cloves. Subtle hints of dried banana and apricot, too. The palate is full, super sleek, intense and well-balanced, with tight, spice-coated tannins that drive everything forward. Long, long finish. Lovely to taste now, but this already almost ten-year-old will sit comfortably in your cellar for a long while yet.

Bertani 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
$139.99 – $720.00Veneto Italy
James Suckling 97 Rating
Density and dryness that really comes together here, after almost 10 years in bottle. It’s very deep and vertical on the palate. Very pure and beautiful crushed cherries, dried flowers, carbon and pumice. Wonderful all round. Drink or hold.

Krutz Family 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III
$139.99 – $720.00Napa Valley California
Enjoyabilityfactor 96 Rating
Our 2019 Cabernet is one of the most powerful offerings we have produced. The heat of the summer guided the grapes to an easily extracted and rich profile. It is a full bodied wine with a dynamic tannin structure and rich black fruits with a backing of vanilla from the French oak barrels. Young and dominant, this wine will likely age better than us. 22 months in 90% new French oak.

La Macchiole 2018 Paleo Rosso Bolgheri
$129.99 – $720.00Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
You could argue that this wine changed Italian wine, because it was the first to fully embrace the potential of Cabernet Franc in the bel paese. The Le Macchiole 2018 Paleo has a spicy and tangy personality with dark fruit, bitter chocolate and tarry smoke. Coming back to my open bottle 24 hours later, I got some green olive and rosemary essence. The mouthfeel fleshes out considerably, and there is beautiful structure to hold it firmly together. Other vintners in Bolgheri have told me of their difficulties with Cabernet Franc in the 2018 vintage, which saw rain toward the end of the season. This wine feels magically immune to those issues and probably means that the expert vineyard team harvested at the right moment.

Stags’ Leap Winery 2019 Limited Edition Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
$129.99 – $720.00California
James Suckling 95 Rating
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a showstopper. An intriguing bouquet opens with pronounced aromas of ripe blackberry and red cherry, underpinned by perfumed floral and savory herbal notes of dried rose petal, potpourri, sage, and mint. The wine is full-bodied with beautiful texture and depth on the palate, with multi-layered finesse and crowd-pleasing drinkability. On the palate, juicy cassis, blackberry, and red cherry are supported by notes of crushed red rose, tea leaf, and chocolate, giving this Cabernet a beguiling plushness and warmth. Finishing smooth and dry, with soft tannins and a lingering perfume of cassis, violet and dark chocolate. This dazzling Cabernet can easily pair alongside a variety of cuisines and culinary dishes.

Canard 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
$69.99 – $720.00Napa Valley California
From our dry farmed estate vines, this full bodied, deep garnet Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and rich with long soft tannins and a smooth integrated structure. Greater concentration of flavor is the result of our old world farming practice of deficit irrigation. Less water and a greater skin to flesh ratio equals more intense fruit on palate. Shows black and red current, a touch of cocoa and notes of Christmas spice on the nose. The palate is rich with cherry pie, figs, smoked meats and hints of sage brush. This wine will age easily 10+ years.

Chateau La Nerthe 2022 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
$69.99 – $708.00Southern Rhone Valley France
James Suckling 95 Rating
A harmonious and very aromatic white with aromas of cooked lemons, stones, white flowers, peaches, white pepper and dried leaves. Medium- to- full-bodied with an oily texture on the palate. Lots of fruits harmoniously mingling with the creamy texture. Some white pepper as well towards the flavorful and long finish. Drink or hold.

Pol Roger Brut Reserve Champagne
$64.99 – $696.00France
Jeb Dunnuck 91 Rating
Equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut has the 2019 vintage as its base, with 25% reserve wine. It pours a bright silver straw hue and is fresh on opening, with a floral perfume of white flowers, fresh pear, and fresh almond. Medium-bodied, it’s attractive and approachable, with juicy peach fruit that fills the palate, although it stays refined, with a pinpoint mousse and a clean finish. It is a lovely entry to the range to enjoy now or over the next 6-8 years, and I love this as an aperitif style. 8 grams per liter of dosage.

Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2020 Red Blend St Emilion Grand Cru Classe
$139.99 – $690.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 99 Rating
The Grand Vin comes from a tiny 11.15-hectare vineyard that has been in the Gratiot family since 1893. Located on the south-facing Côte Pavie, between Château Pavie and Château Bellefont-Belcier and consisting of clay on top of limestone soils, the vineyard has recently been going through a replanted phase using a selection massale and a higher density planting. The grapes are hand-sorted, vinification occurs all in concrete and spans four weeks, with the élevage in 50% new French oak. A normal blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Larcis Ducasse reminds me of the 2005 and is up with the top handful of wines on the Right Bank. It has a brilliant perfume of red and black fruits, white truffle, leafy tobacco, and Asian spices.
