Long Shadows Pedestal 2020 Merlot
Price range: $59.99 through $300.00Washington State
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
I loved the 2020 Merlot Pedestal, which makes the most of the vintage. Full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe plums, chocolate, spicy oak, and graphite define the aromatics, and it’s concentrated, has ripe, chalky tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. The blend is 84% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Malbec, raised in 75% new French oak. BX-12 R1-3

Long Shadows Vintners Collection 2020 Saggi Red Blend
Price range: $49.99 through $270.00Columbia Valley Washington State
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
The 2020 Saggi is composed of 62% Sangiovese, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. The nose opens with classic red fruits and a floral and dusty note that wafts from the glass, then delightful and seductive dark fruit and baked clay notes release with additional time in the glass and swirling. Full-bodied, the Sangiovese blend offers a firm mouthfeel and bright and energetic cherry flavors before dusty florals grip the mid-palate. The wine continues to uncoil, offering notes of black raspberry over the succulent, food-friendly finish and lingering tannic edge. Bravo!

Lopez De Heredia 2012 Vina Tondonia Reserva
$49.99Rioja Spain
Decanter Magazine 94 Rating
After six years in barrel (produced at López de Heredia’s own cooperage) and three in bottle prior to release this is all you can expect from a classical Viña Tondonia with its focused intensity and muscular yet super elegant tannins. Assertive but also super silky, with juicy fruit gliding through the palate while being pleasantly pulled back by an energetic, smoky verve. Broody while at the same time mature – another accomplished vintage of a true classic. R26-3 -

The fine bubbles form a large string against a golden background. It has a fruity nose with lively acids. On the palate it's tasty with notes of pears, peach and brioche. It's polished, delicious with a persistent, low pressure mousse.

Louis Dumont Brut Rose Champagne Epernay
Price range: $39.99 through $210.00Champagne France
The Champagne house of the Dumont family is situated on 23 hectares in Champignol-lez-Mondeville, in a village in the southern Champagne region of the Aube, some 90 miles southeast of Reims and Epernay. The Dumont Brut Rose is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. A selection is made in the vineyard from parcels that are particularly ripe and from bunches with deeply colored skins. Fermentation proceeds as with red wines but the wine is drawn off the skins after a day or so with the Dumont family looking carefully at the balance of extraction, color and tannin. This method, known as “saignee”, is a tricky art but one that can produce the most natural and delicately complex style of Rose champagne. Dosage ~10 grams.

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 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet
$99.99Cote de Beaune Burgundy France
This wine is bold, rich and ripe. It has an elegant nose of peach aromas with buttery almond and juicy pear flavors. Attractive aromas of honeysuckle, toasted almonds and white-fleshed fruit can also be found. A wine of restrained power and great finesse. R12-1 -
Louis Latour 2020 Volnay 1er Cru En Chevret
$124.99Burgundy France
James Suckling 95 Rating
This is so sensual that it’s dangerous and it ought to be classified as a listed drug! So sweet, silky and delicate, in spite of the excellent structure behind it. Only medium-bodied, but in a particular way that increases its appeal. Then comes the very fresh finish that makes it positively refreshing. Drink or hold. R15-2
