Croix Estate 2021 Zinfandel Croix Estate Vineyard 1904
$74.99Russian River Valley California
Enjoyabilityfactor 93 Rating
Planted in 1904, our Croix Estate Vineyard Zinfandel is a heritage vineyard site located next door to the Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard and across the drive from the Chelli and Belloni Vineyards near the intersection of Woolsey and Wood Road. Our 2021 vintage of this wine establishes itself smack in the middle of big, bold, and balanced. Eight acres of gnarly old-vine Zinfandel from our newest estate produces this testament to Napa Valley history. Impenetrable, glass coating color leads fans of Zinfandel to loads of blackberries, white pepper spice, sweet honeysuckle, crushed blue herbs and a very full, viscous, and lengthy finish. This is approachable upon release and will age, when cellared correctly, for 5 to 8 years. R38-2 -
La Jota 2019 Cabernet Franc Howell Mountain
$119.99 – $600.00Napa Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Also beautiful, the 2019 Cabernet Franc checks in as 100% varietal that was raised in 67% new French oak. Inky purple in color, with a brilliant perfume of raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, scorched earth, and graphite, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a terrific sense of elegance and purity, ripe yet present tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and shine for two decades.

Janare 2022 Del Sannio Falanghina
$13.99 – $144.00Campania Italy
James Suckling 91 Rating
An example of the vintage handled well. Apricot, ginger, marzipan and white peach. Yet the wine never drifts into sweet fruited excess. Dry and salty. A skein of saline perk melds with a belt of mineral torque, keeping everything on the straight and narrow despite the broader shouldered extract that marks the address. Long and impactful.

A fuller, yet bright and refreshing style of Chardonnay, this wine has a golden straw presence in the glass with a bouquet of raw honey, marmalade, fresh citrus zest, toasted pine nuts, rocky flints, all spice, toasted oak and lusciousness on the nose that is ever so inviting.

Mauritson 2019 Rockpile Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
$69.99Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
Blended with 13% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot and displaying a deep ruby-purple color, the 2019 Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon Rockpile Ridge Vineyard has broody tar and blackcurrants on the nose to begin, unfolding as it airs in the glass to wafts of lavender and menthol. The full-bodied palate is powerful and grainy, with bright acidity to balance its concentrated fruits, and it finishes long and spicy. BX-6 -
Bouchard Pere & Fils 2018 Chambolle-Musigny
$74.99Cote de Nuits Burgundy France
Wine Spectator 93 Rating
Silky and exuding violet, blackberry and black currant, this red is about as alluring as a young Burgundy gets. It firms up on the finish with refined, cocoa powder tannins. Vibrant and long too. Drink now through 2028. SP4-12 -
Sena 2021 Red Bordeaux Blend
$149.99 – $840.00Aconcagua Valley Chile
James Suckling 100 Rating
An extremely pure and elegant vintage for Seña. This is really fresh, nimble and floral on the nose with subtle cherries, plums, redcurrants and wild lavender. More red fruit here with lots of layers and just a touch of sweet spice. Very discreet and subtle, with the elegance, freshness and poise you’d expect from 2021. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a bit more flesh and depth if you compare it with Roca de Seña, their second wine. The impeccable tannins show the supreme quality of the fruit this year. Persistent, seamless finish, but comes in a subtle way. 50% cabernet sauvignon, 27% malbec, 17% carmenere and 6% petit verdot. Effortlessly drinkable now, but it will age beautifully.

Anselmi 2022 San Vincenzo White
$14.99 – $150.00Veneto Italy
Wine Enthusiast 92 Rating
70% Garganega (the grape native to this region) plus a blend of 30% Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc creates a heady and enticing nose that is loaded with mixed citrus notes, nectarine, wild herbs and a flinty minerality. The palate plays both to richness with ripe stone fruits at the core, but with vibrant acidity hemming it in, while roasted almonds and dried flowers offer a counterweight to the fruit on the finish.

Spottswoode Lyndenhurst 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
$89.99Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 93 Rating
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is composed of 77.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.4% Cabernet Franc, 4.1% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 3.8% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out of the glass with lively blueberries, redcurrants and kirsch scents, plus hints of cedar chest, fragrant earth and rose hip tea. Medium-bodied, elegant and lively in the mouth, the palate is chock-full of bright and crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. R12-4
