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
2016	Lava Cap Winery	Merlot	This robust and flavorful wine is scented with cigar box and dark chocolate. The palate adds in a black cherry flavor for a big and complex array of facets to savor. A full body and firm tannins give it good structure and its concentration is intense enough to deliver a lingering finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-08-01
