Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
2015	Pursued By Bear	Baby Bear Syrah	Harmonious and refined, with effortlessly complex boysenberry, licorice and smoked pepper flavors that glide on a long finish. Drink now through 2025. 389 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2019-07-17
2015	Pursued By Bear	Baby Bear Syrah	Coming from the Colombia Valley and all Syrah, the 2015 Syrah Baby Bear spent 30 months in barrel prior to bottling. Saturated purple-colored (to the rim), with a stunning bouquet of spiced plums, smoked blueberries, ground pepper, and barbecued meat, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. As always, it's impeccably made and one serious wine.	Jeb Dunnuck	96		2019-07-17
2016	Ryan Patrick	Rock Island Red	Aromas of baking spices, coconut, vanilla, anise and blackberry lead to fullbodied fruit and barrel flavors. Coconut and vanilla notes linger on the finish. The oak plays a very prominent part in the show.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2019-07-09
2017	Keuka Spring Vineyards	Riesling	A well-concentrated nose of fennel pollen, saffron, honey, white flowers and pine gives this semisweet Riesling intense complexity. It is luscious and enveloping on the palate, built by juicy orchard- and tropical-fruit flavors, yet framed by tangy acidity and delicate tea-like astringency. Editors’ Choice.

2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	Within Alain Voge’s spectacular lineup of wines, Les Chailles suggests a fresher, more youthful expression of Cornas, highlighting pristine, primary blackcurrant and cherry flavors. Whispers of leather and an intense granitic backdrop, however, confirm the producer’s trademark complexities. Enjoyed now, it’s vibrant and freshly fruited but should gain greater mineral and savory complexities through 2036.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2019-07-09
2015	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Layers of charred meat, granite and anise lend complexity to blackberry and cherry on the nose of this wine. Despite the ample fruit it maintains an earthen, mineral undertone and long finish with ripe, persistent tannins. This riveting wine should open and meld over the next decade and hold further. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2019-07-09
2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Skeins of graphite and smoke provide an alluring introduction to this seductively fruity, concentrated Syrah. Blackberry and mulberry flavors are vibrant yet concentrated, spiced with black pepper, leather and olive, edged by fine, supple tannins. Irresistible already, the wine will improve through 2040. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	96		2019-07-09
2016	Pursued By Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon	A dark, brambly feel to the nose with bracken and leaves, interspersed with red and dark berries. The palate has a smooth and gently grainy edge that delivers mulberry and poached-plum flavors with sinewy, woody punch. Drink in the next six years.	James Suckling	91		2019-07-08
2018	Ryan Patrick	Rosé	This has quite creamy, berry-pastry aromas with spiced-custard nuances and buttery complexity, leading to a palate that offers a smooth and creamy, round feel. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2019-07-08
2018	Pursued by Bear	Blushing Bear Rose	Mouvedre makes up half of this wine, with the rest 30% Grenache and 20% Cinsault. The aromas intrigue, with notes of citrus rind, herbs, star fruit, strawberry and sprice. Broad-feeling, well-balanced, mouthwatering fruit flavors follow. The acidity keeps the interest high.
