2021	Bernard Magrez	Bleu de Mer Rose	Pale rose color with aromas of sliced apple, raspberry, grapefruit and peach. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a fresh, crunchy palate. Grenache and cinsault. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2022-04-04
2018	El Principal	Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 'Calicanto' Maipo Andes Valley	The juicy and fruit-driven 2018 Calicanto, a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Carmenère, 7% Syrah, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc, has the light of the higher-altitude vineyards from Los Andes, a kind of brightness that combines some herbal and wild berry aromas and a spicy touch. This is higher in Carmenère, and it's spicier and peppery, with a medium-bodied palate with fine and round tannins, a gentle texture and good balance. 132,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2019.	Wine Advocate	90		2022-03-31
2018	El Principal	Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 'Calicanto' Maipo Andes Valley	An undeniably Maipo Alto wine, from the notes of black fruits, herbs and menthol to the smooth and elegant texture. A blend with a great sense of place that this year has 49% cabernet sauvignon, 35% carménère, and the rest syrah, cabernet franc and malbec. Stored for a year in used barrels, this red focuses on fruit flavors, but without neglecting a strong affiliation to its origin. The winemaker observes that this attribute is due to somewhat earlier harvests, which here have made the place take the lead.	Descorchados	93		2022-03-31
2019	Valderiz	Valderiz	A harmonious red that marries power with finely detailed grace, showing a dense core of tannins tightly meshed with flavors of ripe black currant, fig cake, wild sage and mocha that slowly unfurl on the palate. Sleek and silky in texture, with a firm and lingering, well-spiced finish. Best from 2024 through 2032. Value Pick of the Week March 30, 2022	Wine Spectator	94		2022-03-30
2019	Domaine des Escaravailles	Rasteau 'Cuvee Les Coteaux'	This full-bodied, 80/20 blend of Grenache and Syrah highlights crisp raspberry and red-cherry flavors accented by whispers of violet and crushed earth. Sourced from clay-limestone soils at altitudes approaching 1,150 feet, it conveys a freshness of acidity and salty tang of minerality throughout. Tannins are still firm but fine grained. A bit nervous in youth, it should improve through 2027 at least.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-03-24
2018	Dunham	Riesling 'Lewis Vineyard' Columbia Valley	The Riesling Lewis Vineyard has been made since 2007. The 2018 checks in at 18 g/L residual sugar. Fresh and vibrant, it shows a soft texture, unveiling wet stone, sweetened Granny Smith apple and lemon/lime tones. Beautiful now, this really has some good cellaring potential.	Vinous	92		2022-03-24
2020	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	The intensity of the forest-berry fruit on the nose must be experienced to be believed! And when you look closer, there are also notes of bitter chocolate and dried sage. On the sleek and super-focused palate, the fruit doesn’t let up and is married to a delicate mineral note that gives this so much energy at the supernaturally refreshing finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	95		2022-03-24
2020	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Grands Cras	The explosive forest-berry nose drags you into this very concentrated Morgon. Enormous mineral freshness drives this sleek and expressive wine through the long and very focused finish. Still very young, though exciting right now. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	95		2022-03-24
2020	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres'	Dark, meaty and smoky with a wet-earth undertone, this is a bold and fleshy Morgon that packs a punch at the long, moderately dry and very savory finish. Just beginning to open up, but surely has many years ahead of it. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	94		2022-03-24
2020	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	I love the combination of ripeness and freshness in this sophisticated and very elegant Morgon, which does a very good job in hiding its substantial tannin structure. Quite a firm finish that will need some time to marry with the deep red-fruit character. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.	James Suckling	93		2022-03-24
