2019	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Beaujolais 'Les Vignes de Lantignie'	Offering up pretty aromas of blackberries, peonies and subtle forest floor, the 2019 Beaujolais-Villages Les Vignes de Lantignié is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with lively acids, velvety tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. As usual, this saw a short six- or seven-day maceration with whole clusters, followed by élevage in cement tank. Once again, Burgaud has produced a characterful and viscerally drinkable Beaujolais-Villages that exemplifies all the merits—as well as the incredible value—offered by the appellation at its best.

2019	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	The 2019 Morgon Côte du Py has turned out beautifully, delivering an inviting nose of smoky black cherries, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, it's deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids. This is another of Burgaud's real successes this year.

2019	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	Aromas of blackberries, mulberries and cherries, complemented by hints of cracked pepper, introduce Burgaud's 2019 Morgon Les Charmes, a medium to full-bodied, rich and lively wine that's more than usually structured this year, its powdery tannins asserting themselves on the finish.

2019	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Regnie Vallieres	From 50-year-old vines growing in stony, sandy soils, the 2019 Régnié Vallières bursts with aromas of cherries, raspberries and blackberries, complemented by subtle hints of potpourri and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's velvety and succulent, with an ample core of beautifully pure fruit that's girdled by melting tannins and lively acids. This has turned out especially well this year.	Wine Advocate	93		2020-05-29
2018	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres'	Burgaud's 2018 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with a deep-pitched but youthfully reserved bouquet that mingles hints of cassis and plum with notions of baking chocolate, grilled meats, cracked pepper and violets. Medium to full-bodied, rich but lively, it's built around powdery and abundant structuring tannins and succulent acids, revealing terrific depth at the core and concluding with a long, elegantly sapid finish. This should be quite spectacular with a few years of bottle age.	Wine Advocate	94+		2020-05-29
2018	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Regnie Vallieres	Notes of cherries, raspberries, licorice and woodsmoke introduce the 2018 Régnié Vallières, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered wine with a rich core of fleshy fruit, fine tannins and succulent acids. It's a charming, gourmand wine from sand and granite soils.	Wine Advocate	92		2020-05-29
2015	Bodega Cuarto Dominio	Malbec Mendoza Tradición de Familia	This is very tight and structured. Full-bodied, layered and juicy with beautiful fruit and intensity. Dark berries and walnuts. Hints of stones and wet earth. Only 10 barrels made and always from top site near the town of La Consulta. Malbec with a hint of petit verdot and cabernet franc.	James Suckling	94		2020-05-28
2015	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon	The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 19% Merlot, begins with a dense, dark-fruited core with spicy undertones of oak that waft with elegant floral expressions. Full-bodied, the wine is weighty and well-defined across the mid-palate, delivering pleasuring with a lush, open-knit and generous expression and velvety mouthfeel. The wine continues to evolve in the mouth on the long, lingering and sophisticated finish, giving lasting flavors of blackberry jus, crème brûlée and juicy plum. 479 cases produced. Well done, it’s beautiful and silky. I want another sip.	Wine Advocate	92+		2020-05-21
2015	Pursued by Bear	Baby Bear Syrah	The 2015 Syrah Baby Bear is open and wafts from the glass with a juicy core of fruit and aromas of Chambord, dark spiced plum, dense mocha tones and smoky chocolate essence. Full-bodied, the palate is rich, compact, focused and robust with flavors of blackberry jus and black spices that coat the palate with balance and precision. It lingers long with the generous black fruit essence on the persistent finish that continues to evolve in the mouth. This comes recommended. 389 cases produced.	Wine Advocate	91		2020-05-21
2017	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf du Pape - Prestige	Bright-hued ruby. Mineral-accented raspberry, cherry liqueur and garrigue aromas are complicated by subtle game and incense nuances. Silky, focused and alluringly sweet, offering pliant red and blue fruit preserve, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that in no way show that this wine is wine is from warm year. Finishes sappy, sweet and extremely long, with suave, well-knit tannins and resonating floral and spice notes.	Vinous	95-96		2020-05-14
