2017	Vina Chocalan	Origen Syrah	There's 5% San Antonio Syrah in the blend here, but it's predominantly a Maipo Costa wine. Co-fermented with a little Viognier, this is a Chilean Côte Rôtie with spicy, minty, meaty fruit, fresh acidity and smooth tannins.	Tim Atkin	92		2019-08-01
2017	Vina Chocalan	Origen Pinot Noir	Attractive, bright and fragrant strawberries with a fleshy palate that has a plush, drinka-ble feel. Try in the next four years	James Suckling	91		2019-08-01
2017	Vina Chocalan	Origen Chardonnay	Coastal San Antonio supplies the grapes for this ocean-influenced Chardonnay, made with clones 4 and 5 and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and barrels. Toasty and fresh, it has flavours of pear and citrus and some leesy weight.	Tim Atkin	90		2019-08-01
2017	Vina Chocalan	Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon	Dusty ruby color. Aromas of salt-cured plum, fine furniture, black tea with violet, and marinated grape leaves with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium body and an interesting, long cran-raspberry scone, cedar, chocolate covered strawberries, and licorice finish. A concentrated, steak-worthy wine with lots of stately character. GOLD MEDAL \| EXCEPTIONAL \| BEST BUY	Tastings.com	91		2019-08-01
2017	Col Vetoraz	Cartizze di Valdobbiadene DOCG	Col Vetoraz is one of the only wineries located in Cartizze, where glera vines cling to steep slopes at elevations up to 1,300 feet, where clusters ripen under intense sunshine, developing rich flavors of mango and peach along with subtle spice notes. Cool evenings preserve crisp acidity that, along with the wineries pearly texture and bright saline notes, balances the lush fruit flavors and brings the wine to a refreshing finish.

2017	Keuka Spring Vineyards	Riesling	On the dry side of semi-dry, this riesling may leave you wondering where to fix your attention: on the passion fruit accents, the assertive lemon-lime scents, or the wheaty savor that frames it all? The flavors are graceful and a touch creamy from the risidual sugar, but the apple skin finish renders any sweetness a memory, unless the wine is served with something mildly spicy, like Japaneese curry.

2018	Chateau de Pampelonne	Legende Rose Cotes de Provence	Marie Pascaud made this special cuvee to commemorate the formation of Les Maitres Vignerons de St- Tropez, a coalition of ten estates. A selection of cinsault, and grenache from 100 year old vines on the Ramatuelle hill, it's a savory rose, with notes of herbs and flowers accenting the delicacy of it's pale fruit. Its power lies in the texture, at once airy but substantial, which holds the flavors long.	Wine & Spirits	92		2019-08-01
2015	Keenan Winery	Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Spring Mountain District	If you're looking for a cabernet with exceptional track record, consider that Michael Keenan's Reserve has earned 94 points or more in every vintage since 2011. This 2015 is close to that level, a tarry, concentrated cabernet from 17 year old vines at Keenan's Big K vineyard, high up Spring Mountain, with a small contribution of cabernet franc. It's intensely spicy, with coriander, anise and red pepper pricking the wine's dark earthiness. The fruit emerges over the course of several days, adding a taste of fresh-picked cherries in the midst of the black extract. It's zesty and racy, with the energy to age, and the flavor concentration to repay patient cellaring.	Wine & Spirits	93		2019-08-01
2016	Lava Cap Winery	Petite Sirah	This is a pure and focused wine that’s uncomplicated by too much oak or overripeness. It offers dark, dense concentrated black fruit flavors of the variety on a firm, tannic texture. It's built for aging and should be best from 2023-2030.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2019-08-01
