Chalk Hill Winery 2024 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Price range: $19.99 through $180.00

California
One wine that will never be rated, nor see a top 100 list is the Chalk Hill RRV Chardonnay. That’s not a bad thing – it’s just the winery’s ‘secret Chardonnay.’ It’s never released to the general public or retail, only a few hundred cases are made each year to service the restaurant industry. But luckily for us, I’ve got a restaurant. And while the Sonoma Coast bottling is definitely the ‘calling card’ that you’re used to seeing from this great estate, I’m telling you the Russian River Valley Chardonnay blows that one out of the water. It’s a Nicholas wines all-time favorite.

Earthy aromas of toasted wood and coffee meet with dusty boysenberry on the nose of this bottling from the historic producer in its eponymous appellation. The palate is rich with baked berry and spicy in star anise and clove flavors, as oak hits on the finish.

A luminous, deep yellow-green color with deep lemon yellow highlights. An elegant nose of butter, grilled hazelnut, cardamom, lime, verbena. When aerated, the wine reveals notes of apricot, blackcurrant, plum, biscuit, with accents of nougat, pineapple and toasted bread. Supple, fresh, fruity and sustained by bright acidity. 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir – all Premier and Grand Cru vineyards.

Chapelle St. Theodoric 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Guigasse
$99.99

Southern Rhone Valley France
Wine Advocate 95-97 Rating
Scents of roses, garrigue and blackberries mark the nose of the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Guigasse, still aging in demi-muids at the time of my visit. It's one of those special wines that manages to be full-bodied and concentrated, yet also pillowy-soft, nearly ethereal in the mouth. A bit more tannic and stern on the finish than the 2020 Le Grand Pin, it finishes long, with a lingering note of licorice. 100% Grenache. R18-2
Chappellet 2022 Merlot Napa Valley
Price range: $59.99 through $318.00

California
This lovely wine draws you in with its complex aromas of dark berry, briary spice, anise, clove, cedar chest and black tea. On the palate, silky tannins add depth and length to luxurious flavors of black plum, cherry, dark chocolate and roasted coffee, all of which glide to a warm, rich finish.

A killer wine and great value, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature reveals tons of cassis and darker, almost blue fruits intermixed with sappy spring flowers, crushed stone, and lead pencil nuances. Based on 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, and 2% Merlot, it’s balanced and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful tannins. This is a no-brainer purchase that will drink beautifully for 10-12 years. R25-1

Chappellet 2023 Mountain Cuvee Red Blend
Price range: $34.99 through $209.94

North Coast Napa California
James Suckling 91 Rating
A supple, flavorful, sleek and densely fruity wine on a full body. The tannins seem to build on the palate, giving a little textural grip to raspberry and red and black cherry flavors and attractive oak spices like cinnamon, cloves and wood smoke. Drink now or hold.
