2016	Maison Pagnotta	Meursault	Flinty reduction plays on the nose of this wine alongside earthiness. The palate rounds this out with yeasty richness that creates a smooth, concentrated texture. The rounded finish suggests lemon and buttermilk.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2020-06-02
2017	Domaine de la Croix Senaillet	Saint-Veran Les Rochats	Notes of ripe peach seem to be channelled into a lemony vision of chalk and freshness on the nose of this wine. The palate repeats this dynamic lemony vision on a concentrated palate. Earthy overtones and a sense of generosity and richness are amplified by concentration and gentle power.

2016	Dunham Cellars	Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXII' Columbia Valley	Loaded with blackberry and dark-cherry aromas and flavors with chocolate. It’s full, rich and concentrated, yet there is a level of agility to it at the same time. Balanced for the weight. 88% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot, 4% merlot, 2% malbec and 1% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years.	James Suckling	94		2020-06-01
2017	Dunham Cellars	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	An opulent, pretty red with dark-chocolate, blueberry and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full body, round and soft tannins that are nicely integrated and a long, flavorful finish. 54% merlot, 42% cabernet sauvignon, 2% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Very drinkable now, but better in 2021.	James Suckling	92		2020-06-01
2016	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon	A firm, fresh red with lovely currant, dark-chocolate and light vanilla character. Medium to full body and a linear, tight finish. This has very pretty balance and structure. A blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. Better after 2022.	James Suckling	94		2020-06-01
2016	Pursued by Bear	Syrah 'Baby Bear' Columbia Valley	Flamboyant red with plenty of fruit, as well as undertones of green tobacco leaf and wet earth. Medium to full body, juicy fruit and medium-round tannins. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2020-06-01
2019	Ryan Patrick	Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley	A fresh, focused sauvignon with sliced-apple and lime aromas and flavors. Medium body, bright acidity and a delicious finish. Drink now. Screw cap.	James Suckling	90		2020-06-01
2017	Ryan Patrick	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Reserve' Rattlesnake Hills	This is a really pretty wine with firm, silky tannins that show polish and precision. It’s medium-bodied with an integrated palate and a flavorful finish. Always refined. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2020-06-01
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
