  • Maxem 2021 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard

    Maxem 2021 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard

    $99.99

    Sonoma Coast California
    Wine Advocate 96 Rating
    Far West in the Sonoma Coast, just a short drive to the Pacific Ocean, lies one of northern California’s best Pinot & Chard vineyard, named UV after it’s founder Ulysses Valdez. Maxem is a micro-producer, basically just a husband and wife making wine in their garage. But this is really, really good garage wine, and on the radar of cult wine collectors. Full bodied, ripe, fruit forward and smooth, great as an aperitivo or with food. BX-12

  • Mayacamas 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder

    Mayacamas 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder

    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty rich, bombastic wine, especially for Mayacamas. A blast of dark fruit, incense, tobacco, licorice, spice and mocha hits the palate. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle to settle down, as it is quite the powerhouse today. This is an unusually flamboyant wine with plenty of richness and a bit less in the way of subtlety. The opulence of the vintage comes through loud and clear. R10-1

    The finest vintage of this cuvée I’ve tasted, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is going to be one of the Legendary Mayacamas, although a more modern-day version. Sporting a vivid ruby, mostly opaque hue as well as sensational aromatics of crème de cassis, ripe cherries, graphite, crayon, and cedar pencils, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, flawless overall balance, ultra-fine, ripe, perfect tannins, and a great finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. The balance, purity, and elegance paired with the subtle, inward richness and power is something. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it was never short of spectacular, with its structure and tannins becoming more evident with air. It’s far from the tannic beast that some vintages from this higher elevation terroir on Mount Veeder can be, and it clearly offers immense pleasure even today. Yet, it probably won’t hit true prime time for another decade, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this be a 50- to 60-year wine. Bravo. Drink 2030-2080. R17-3

  • Maynard's 40 Years Old Aged Tawny Porto

    Maynard’s 40 Years Old Aged Tawny Porto

    Price range: $129.99 through $690.00

    Portugal
    40 year old tawny is always lovely to drink, as the constituent wines have spent so long in oak barrels that the water content has partially evaporated, concentrating the flavors. This has developed a lovely intense palate with flavors of caramelized nuts and burnt orange rind. There is a high level of acidity which cuts through the richness. Absolutely delicious and good value for the style.

  • Maynard's Fine Tawny Porto

    Maynard’s Fine Tawny Porto

    Price range: $16.99 through $168.00

    Portugal
    The Maynard's Tawny Port is a blend of selected young ports matured in small oak vats called “pipas”. As a result, they gradually mellow to an amber, Tawny color. Its aroma combines ripe with dry fruits with cinnamon. Ready to drink, this top-quality Tawny goes perfectly with less-sweet desserts. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, slightly chilled.

    The 2016 Concerto di Fonterutoli, the estate’s blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, is dense, plush and explosive, with superb depth and notable persistence. Super-ripe black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and rose petal build in a rich, dramatic wine endowed with superb depth, intensity and pedigree. All the best elements of the house style are on display in this sumptuous, modern Tuscan red. Two thousand sixteen is a terrific vintage for the Concerto. I loved it. R28-3
