    A highly luxurious style, the 2022 Greppicaia pours a dark purple/red color and is very pronounced and saturated with layered oak spice, toasted vanilla, cedar, boysenberry, plum, cigar box, and polished leather. While the oak is quite forward, this is a wine of high quality, with a bright spine of ripe acidity to balance it out and a full-bodied, broad-shouldered and well-defined, ripe texture that doesn’t feel weighted. It has a very long, salty finish with bright redcurrant fruit lasting long on the palate. I can’t help but be impressed here, although it’s going to need several years in a cellar and is built for the long haul. R6-2 Most stores $79.99

  • Darioush Signature 2024 Viognier

    Darioush Signature 2024 Viognier

    Price range: $59.99 through $324.00

    Napa Valley California
    The 2024 Viognier is vibrant and gracefully layered. A mild, steady season allowed the fruit to ripen evenly, developing purity and poise. Fragrant notes of white peach, apricot, and orange blossom lift from the glass, followed by a palate of nectarine, lychee, and tangerine peel. A bright, balanced acidity lends clarity and length, finishing with a delicate hint of citrus zest and coastal minerality. R32-2

    The earliest harvest ever at Condrieu for Stephane, the 2022 Condrieu La Combe De Malleval offers a gorgeous perfume of white peach, orange blossom, white flowers, and a terrific sense of minerality. Balanced, medium to full-bodied, lively, and elegant, it’s an absolutely incredible Viognier that’s as good as anything in the vintage. R42-2

    Boxler’s Edelzwicker Réserve is especially magical: it vividly captures the conviviality and flavors of harvest—of grapes as well as fleshy orchard fruit—and is also a match made in heaven for so much autumnal fare. Blending grand cru Riesling and Pinot Gris, which Jean says he “steals” from his noblest cuvées, as well as Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner, it bears a honeyed lusciousness, which offers a perfect foil for the bit of spice in my favorite carrot soup with coconut milk or butternut stew with harissa and chickpeas. Meanwhile, it has enough character and mouth-watering acidity to beautifully complement a mushroom or chicken pot pie, pan-seared pork chops with apples and miso, or your favorite take-out ramen or chow mein.

    Pale gold color, limpid and brilliant with light golden reflections. The first nose is expressive, open with notes of toast and almond. After aeration, it opens with fruity notes of peach mixed with light notes of acacia flowers. An elegant and fresh set. The palate is delicious, fruity, voluminous with a beautiful maturity of fruit. The finish is slightly spicy with a nice aromatic persistence. A delicious and fruity wine.

  • The Vineyard House 2021 Crabb's Black Burgundy Block 5 Cabernet Franc

    The Vineyard House 2021 Crabb’s Black Burgundy Block 5 Cabernet Franc

    Hermosa Vineyard Oakville Napa Valley
    Enjoyabilityfactor 99 Rating
    The Cabernet Franc Crabb’s Black Burgundy Block 5 comes from the Hermosa Vineyard and a block that sits immediately adjacent to Harlan Estate. The 2021 The Vineyard House Cabernet Franc, Block 5 is a blend of 87% Cabernet Franc and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is deep ruby and opaque; the bouquet is elegant with its florals perhaps dominating the fruits including of African violets and rose petals, accompanied by notes of raspberry jam, red plums and boysenberry. This is a riper expression of the variety but still offers plenty of varietal characteristics. On the palate there are darker fruited flavors including boysenberry jam, blackberry, dark plum and Persian mulberry. The tannins offer a firm and long-term tug, broadly coating with a persistent grainy, gravelly and dusty/chalky character. And there are some baking spice influences including cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Of all their bottlings, their Cabernet Franc perhaps pairs best with spicy food. Winemakers: Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky. BX-3 R3-1
