Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc 'Marri' |
This 50/50 blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc is both well conceived and nicely matured, with a screwcap closure that enables its components to marry seamlessly over time. The Sémillon lends notes of ripe fig, while the Sauvignon provides a citrus-like edge and freshness on the finish. |

Isabel Estate |
Pinot Noir |
A Southern Hemisphere Pinot harvested during the first half of 2021 may seem like a latecomer to our shores, but this terrific overachiever in relation to its price has certainly benefited from some development. Ripe black cherry is augmented by pleasantly earthy notes of wild mushrooms with spicy accents. |

Dancing Crow Vineyards |
Field Blend 'Old Stake 1901 Vineyard' Lake County |
Blending 51% Merlot and 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Right Bank Blend Old Stake 1901 is herbaceous in bay leaf and dried herb, the tannins soft and lengthy. The property does indeed have vines dating back to the original plantings of 1901 at high-elevation in volcanic soils. The full-bodied midpalate of the wine is chocolaty and rich in red brambly fruit, with enduring richness. Drink through 2030. |

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze |
Airy and remarkably fresh, the 2024 Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze blossoms with a bouquet of sweet white flowers, lime zest and crushed green apples. It is silken in feel with a tantalizing acid core and citrus-infused orchard fruits that add contrast. A salty flourish lingers, offset by a tinge of sweet spice as the 2024 finishes admirably long yet spry. |

Pinot Noir 'Diversite' Chehalem Mountains |
The 2022 Pinot Noir Diversité is dusty and floral, displaying a cascade of violets and rose petals accentuated by sweet spice, giving way to a core of crushed blackberries. It's silky-smooth with rich red and blue fruits that ride a wave of brisk acidity. Its minerality comes through on the finish, mixing with hints of sour citrus under an air of lavender. The 2022 tapers off long and gently tannic. |
