Barnett Vineyards 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
$74.99Spring Mountain District Napa Valley
The 2017 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the darkest we’ve made. Big black raspberry jumps from the glass as well as blueberry jam and black pepper. There is a bright chocolate element surrounded by cedar notes. The mouthfeel is rich and lush with a lot more dark fruit as well as cigar box and mocha. The tannins are significant, very big, and chalky. While the mountain acidity is firm it is the tannins that dominate. There is a long black raspberry and mocha finish to the wine. This sizeable Cabernet will age amazingly over the next 14-15 years (2033-2034). SP26-7 -
Barnett Vineyards 2023 Chardonnay Sangiacomo Vineyard
$49.99 – $270.00Carneros
Enjoyabilityfactor 92 Rating
Sangiacomo Chardonnay is a beautiful bright gold color with powerful aromatics. Passionfruit and kiwi jump from the glass, which is matched by spiciness, mainly white pepper. There are layers of honeysuckle and jasmine. Round and rich this is a very luscious wine. The fruit moves to more apricot and pear on the palate while pretty jasmine persists. This is a lush rich wine that can be enjoyed in its youth or develop nicely over the next 6-7 years.

Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2020 Escudo Rojo Reserva Carmenere
$16.99 – $168.00Colchagua Valley Chile
The nose opens on ripe black berry fruit aromas, joined on airing by notes of roasted coffee beans and black pepper. From a highly expressive attack on the black fruit found on the nose, the peppery notes that emerged with airing return on a midpalate which combines power with heft. The finish lingers on an intense array of black fruit, spice and roasted coffee bean flavors.

Baron Philippe de Rothschild Baronesa P. 2019 Escudo Rojo
$59.99 – $300.00Maipo Valley Chile
James Suckling 97 Rating
A full-bodied, polished red with aromas of ripe blue and black fruit, chocolate, walnut and cedar. Slate, too. Firm, velvety tannins and a plush texture. So creamy and seamless with a steady tannin support. Layered and deep. Great length. Mostly cabernet sauvignon with some carmenere, petit verdot, cabernet franc and syrah. Try this from 2023.

Beau Marchais 2019 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard
$84.99Santa Lucia Highlands California
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
I loved these wines from barrel last year, and they didn't disappoint from bottle. Starting with the Santa Lucia Highlands release, the 2019 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard has a deep, nuanced yet powerful style that offers impressive black raspberry and red currant fruits to go with lots of spice, loamy soil, spring flower, and earthy forest floor notes. Gorgeously textured on the palate, this medium to full-bodied Pinot has ripe, polished tannins, a great mid-palate, and the fruit and opulence to drink nicely today yet also evolve for a good 7-8 years, if you're so inclined.

Beaulieu Vineyard BV 2018 Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
$99.99Napa Valley California
Antonio Galloni Vinous 98 Rating
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is fabulous. Inky, rich and explosive, the 2018 is a fine addition to the lineage of one of Napa Valley's most historic wines. Inky red fruit, chocolate, leather and licorice all open in the glass. Aeration brings out floral top notes, raspberry and a hint of blood orange. There is plenty of depth, but the tannins are finer than they were a few years ago. Shorter time on the skins and a reduction in barrel fermentations really allow the pedigree of these Rutherford sites to come through. The 2018 is sensational. R35-4 -
Beaulieu Vineyard BV 2021 Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
$149.99Napa Valley California
Wine Spectator 95 Rating
This is packed with dark, winey flavors of black currant and blackberry paste underscored with alder, sweet tobacco, warm paving stone and black licorice notes, while a violet accent fills the background. The polished finish makes this accessible now, but there’s plenty of life ahead. Drink now through 2042. BX-6 R45-5 -

Layered with red cherry candy, the 2018 Pinot Noir The Beaux Freres Vineyard unfolds with crushed roses, cedar, and five-spice. The palate has wonderful concentration and energy, with cranberry, tea leaf, and spice. This is an incredible wine that delivers balance and purity. Drink 2024-2036. SP6-2 -
Bedrock 2018 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage
$49.99Sonoma Valley California
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Bedrock Vineyard Heritage opens with fantastic perfume: ripe peach, sliced blueberries, warm red cherries, underbrush, violet and dried tangerine peel with nuances of crushed stone, dried hollyhock and exotic spices. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with singularly perfumed fruit layers, with a chewy frame and wicked freshness, finishing long and evolving. Wow! Just a pup, give this another year or two in bottle and drink it over the next 10-15 years. SP20-9
