Clos Pegase 2022 Mitsuko’s Vineyard Chardonnay
Price range: $24.99 through $120.00

Carneros Napa Valley California
Enjoyabilityfactor 92 Rating
The Mitsuko’s Chardonnay is a beautiful clear lemon color in the glass. With vibrant aromas of toasted oak, ripe melon, pear and bakers spice. On the palate, the bright acidity lends a refreshing quality to the wine, supported by fruit flavors of peach, cantaloupe and a touch of citrus. The oak integrates well, adding dimension to the wine, bringing in toasted coconut, brioche and custard. Well balanced and lower in alcohol, this wine is intense, complex and delicious.

Saxum 2023 Heart Stone Vineyard
$199.99

Willow Creek District Paso Robles California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
The last vintage from this site as the team transitions to more estate fruit, the 2023 Heart Stone Vineyard is based on 51% Graciano, 27% Syrah, 12% Grenache, and 5% each Petite Sirah and Touriga Nacional. It was fermented with 10% stems in concrete fermenters and aged 21 months in 76% new French and Austrian oak (300-liter and 600-liter barrels). Deep purple-hued, it’s a rich, powerful red with notes of red and black cherries, sappy flowers, juniper, licorice, and exotic spice. Full-bodied and layered, it has a deep mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s another brilliant wine from this team. Drink: 2025-2040. SP19-6
Saxum 2022 Cayucos Ridge Vineyard Red
$249.99

San Luis Obispo
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
The second vintage from this cool site just beside the Pacific, the 2022 Cayucos Ridge Vineyard is 100% Syrah, fermented with 43% whole clusters and aged 34 months in 68% new French oak (225-liter and 300-liter barrels). Spicy red and black fruits, California bay, pepper, sandalwood, and sage all emerge from this incredibly complete and complex wine. Medium to fullbodied, it’s layered, pure, and seamless, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and flawless balance. It’s an absolutely magical, singular wine that tops out my scale. I love it today, yet it should have 15-20 years of prime drinking. SP18-1

B. Wise 2018 Wisdom Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $34.99 through $336.00

Napa & Sonoma County
Enjoyabilityfactor 94 Rating
Grown in one of the most lauded vintages of the decade, the 2018 Wisdom is drinking beautifully now: generous and harmonious, exuding top quality from the first aromas of freshly baked blueberry pie, vanilla, and fresh violets. The mouthfeel is plush and lively, with plenty of red fruit laced with licorice and French roast coffee and finishes with super-silky tannins. It’s a luxury of a Cabernet, priced to open on a whim. regular $49.99

Massolino 2020 Barolo
Price range: $52.99 through $552.00

Piedmont Italy
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
Showing elegant richness and a velvety consistency, the Massolino 2020 Barolo ages in large oak botti for 30 months. The wine represents a blend of fruit from Serralunga d’Alba (Collaretto, Briccolina, Broglio and Le Turne) and one site in Castiglione Falletto. Elegance is underlined in this wine that shows wild berry, dried blueberry and a sweet touch of lilac over a medium-dark finish. The wine’s texture manages to be direct and linear but generous at the same time.

Feudi di San Gregorio 2022 Falanghina del Sannio
Price range: $19.99 through $180.00

Campania Italy
James Suckling 90 Rating
Falanghina 101. Bitter lemon, tonic, strewn fennel seed, pistachio and a pithy stone fruit pucker at the seams. Dutifully fresh, impeccably poised, far from profound, but dangerously easy to drink. Drink now.
