    Wine Spectator 92 Rating
    Polished and exhibiting cherry and strawberry flavors, with a floral hint, this red is elegant and lacy in texture. That said, there’s ample structure, which will allow this to age over the medium term. Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. Best from 2027 through 2040.

    A View from the cellar 93 Rating
    The 2023 Arneis “Tre Fie” bottling from the Marrone sisters is a beautiful example of this varietal. The bouquet is bright and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of fresh lime, green apple, a complex base of stony minerality, a touch of green olive, lemongrass and a topnote of wild flowers. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full-bodied, complex and zesty, with an excellent core of fruit, lovely mineral undertow, fine focus and balance and a long, vibrant finish. This is one of the best example of Arneis I have ever tasted! 2025 – 2030

  • Roger Neveu & Fils 2023 Sancerre Cuvee Pierre Francois Xavier

    Roger Neveu & Fils 2023 Sancerre Cuvee Pierre Francois Xavier

    Price range: $34.99 through $348.00

    Loire Valley France
    Assembled in great years from the Neveu family’s best parcels around Verdigny, Chavignol, and Sancerrre, “PFX”—as the “Pierre François Xavier” bottling is affectionately known by the family—is raised in oak rather than stainless steel (the former being the historical norm in Sancerre). The three principal terroirs of Sancerre are incorporated: terres blanches, silex, and caillottes. Caillottes are the small, sharp limestone rocks that litter the surface of many Sancerre vineyards, including the Neveu family’s largest vineyard, “Les Embouffants.” The oak adds a grain and level of class and backbone that raises this cuvée a step above the domaine’s classic Sancerre bottling. PFX ages more slowly and gracefully than most Sancerres, and it makes a great cellar diversification play.

    Sonoma County California
    Wine Advocate 94 Rating
    “Sixty-five percent of the vines planted in Rockpile are Zinfandel,” says Clay Mauritson. “What’s gotten lost in that narrative is how unbelievable Cabernet Sauvignon is in Rockpile. It has a lot of similarities to places like Napa.” Deep ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon Rockpile Ridge Vineyard is blended of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in French oak. It has a nose with red and black cherries and currants, milk chocolate, star anise, cardamom, cedar and touches of minerals and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, it’s very plush and spicy in the mouth with tons of baby fat fruit, segueing to mineral and licorice notions. It has a firm frame of chalky tannins and good freshness to lift the long, layered finish. Leave this in the cellar for another three to five years and drink it over the next 20+. R45-2

    A Cellar Selection

    Unfolding in a way that captures the attention and imagination at once, this Veneto classic is a wine lover’s must. Opening with aromas of blackberry jam, plum preserves, anise, clove and espresso, it might overwhelm at first but give it a second. The palate is rich and layered with flavors that deserve some time to develop. Black cherries, tobacco, vanilla and spice all swirl on the palate into an elegant and refined finish. Drink Now – 2040 lends nice form. Notes of apple wood, tobacco and savory add nuance through the finish. Best from 2025 through 2038. 1,770 cases made

    The 2021 Armé Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 10% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. It has pretty tones of blueberries and black cherries with nuances of lavender, thyme and underbrush.
