2018	Koyama	Pinot Noir	The Koyama Pinots are classy wines, meticulously made while still allowing the character of the site and variety to shine. The nose is gently aromatic in notes of cranberry, raspberry, rhubarb, with quiet baking spice and savory elements typical to the region. The bright acidity is what first hits on the palate, but then the silky texture, fleshy red fruit and savory spice comes into focus. The tannins are chalky and supportive, rather than overwhelming. Drink now–2030.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2021-01-22
2019	Morgan	Unoaked Chardonnay 'Metallico' Monterey	Rounded aromas of Asian pear and soft peach are cut by sharp grapefruit pith and chalk on the vibrant and very fresh nose of this stainless-steel expression. The palate is very grippy in texture at first, slowly giving way to the more broad stone-fruit flavors.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2021-01-22
2018	Morgan	Pinot Noir 'Twelve Clones' Santa Lucia Highlands	Layers of baked berry, pie crust and star anise show on the nose of this clonal combination. It’s clean and direct on the palate, offering tart red-currant and cranberry flavors, touched up by thyme, lavender and potpourri elements.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2021-01-22
2017	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	This wine is hedonism in a glass. Dark chocolate, cherry, vanilla and spice aromas are followed by rich, textured fruit flavors that coat the palate. It’s decadent, but the vintage’s backbone keeps it all beautifully in balance. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2021-01-22
2018	Castaing	Cotes de Bourg	Under the same ownership as Château Haut-Guiraud, this estate has produced a wood-aged wine that’s rich in dark spicy fruit and ripe tannins. Dense structure shows the wine’s potential as well as its concentration. Drink from 2022.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2021-01-22
2019	Avia	Pinot Grigio	Lifted fresh nose full of peachy fruit with delicious green apple depth, a salty finish, concentrated fruit and mineral backbone. Silver Medal	Decanter	90		2021-01-22
2016	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Sourced from vines averaging 80 years old, this rich, intensely textural Marsanne offers an intensity of white peach, pear and tangerine flavors. Vinified in 30% new oak, it’s lavishly smoky with a spicy undertone reminiscent of vanilla and Bourbon barrels. A heady but elegant wine that should improve through 2026 and hold further still.

2017	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Voluminous and sun-drenched, this delightful varietal Marsanne offers luminous tangerine, yellow apple and pineapple flavors accented by swirls of honey. Sourced from 80-year-old vines and fermented in oak (30% new), it’s a gorgeously perfumed sip lifted by a spine of salty, crystalline minerality and lemony acidity. Drinks beautifully now but should mature nicely well through 2030. Editors’ Choice	Wine Enthusiast	94		2021-01-20
2018	Keenan	Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley	Bold and juicy, Keenan's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is super-expressive today. Dark cherry, plum, grilled herbs, mocha, spice and licorice are all front and center. The 2018 is deep and fleshy yet retains a classic, mid-weight feel that works so well. Drink it over the next decade.	Vinous	93		2021-01-14
2018	Keenan	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Reserve' Spring Mountain District	The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is such a great example of Spring Mountain. Powerful and virile, the classically-built Reserve packs a serious punch. I would give it a few years to soften, but it is super-impressive, even in the early going. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, dried flowers, mint and spice lead into the long, sculpted finish.	Vinous	96		2021-01-14
