Paul Hobbs 2018 Ross Station Estate Chardonnay
$69.99Russian River Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
Loads of caramelized peach, toasted spices, brioche, and honeyed citrus emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate, one of the richer, more powerful Chardonnay in the lineup. Nevertheless, it has beautiful acidity, flawless balanced, and a great finish. Brought up in 50% new French oak, it’s drinking spot on today and shows the vintage nicely. It will also age well for 4-6 years, probably longer, but there’s no need to delay gratification. -
Aperture Cellars 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $74.99 through $420.00Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 96+ Rating
Share Tweet
I tasted the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon in October, not long after it was bottled in August. Grapes were harvested October 5 through November 3. It was blended with 3% Malbec, 1% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot and matured for 18 months in 55% new French oak barrels plus 10% concrete—a new aging vessel Aperture has started experimenting with. It has slowly unfurling scents of cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate, cast iron and floral hints. The full-bodied palate is impressively concentrated without over-ripeness, and its flavors are rich yet minerally. It has an haut couture frame of powdery tannins and refreshing acidity and a very long, elegant finish. It should be very long lived in the cellar.

Casanova di Neri 2019 Brunello di Montalcino
$74.99Tuscany Italy
Wine Spectator 94 Rating
The core of ripe cherry fruit is complemented by woodsy, mushroom, iron, spice and saline flavors in this intense red, with a long, resonant aftertaste. Though balanced, this could benefit from a few more years to really hit its sweet spot. Best from 2026 through 2042. R5-1 -

Vinous 94 Rating
The 2024 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is a very pretty, elegant wine. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and light tropical inflections are some of the many notes that grace this weightless, super refined Chardonnay. All the elements are so well balanced. There is a feeling of understated lightness here that is so appealing.

Palermo 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Price range: $39.99 through $456.00California
A dark garnet core with a brooding cardinal rim, the 2022 Palermo opens with notes of crunchy cassis, muddled boysenberry, ripe elderberry chaparral and cedar. The palate continues many of the aromatics with traces of cassis, blackberry, savory and thyme. Effuse with ripe dark fruits but also complex savory tones, the wine closes with long and soft tannin chains and hints of licorice, black pepper and star anise.

Tolaini 2021 Valdisanti Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana
Price range: $39.99 through $360.00Tuscany Italy
James Suckling 95 Rating
Clove, vanilla, restrained cherry, milk chocolate and balsamic aromas. The attack is soft and velvety, with dense tannins, a savory character, a full body and crisp, refreshing acidity. Great mid-palate extraction and details. Embracing finish, long and consistent. Drinkable now, but best from 2031.

$99.99Sonoma Coast California
Antonio Galloni 96 Rating
The 2023 Chardonnay Camp Meeting Ridge is fabulous. Rich, unctuous and layered, the 2023 offers a striking mix of concentration, fruit and coastal energy. Apricot, lemon confit, white flowers and slate all meld together in the glass. This unctuous, oily Chardonnay is a total delight. It was fermented and aged in 500- and 820-liter barrels, 24% new. R8-3 -

Rooted in the legacy of The Prisoner Wine Company, this Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a compelling expression of bold elegance, pushing the boundaries of tradition to create an unforgettable tasting experience.
