2017	Bodega Cuarto Dominio	Tolentino Malbec	A nose of blueberries, crushed stones, blackcurrants, nutmeg and some balsamic vinegar. Medium to full body, fine and soft tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2018-11-19
2015	Dunham Cellars	Cabernet Sauvignon XXI	Bright, dark ruby-red. The nose combines a very ripe raspberry aroma, notes of licorice and mocha, and a faint herbal element. Then fleshy and glossy on the palate, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors framed and enlivened by nicely integrated acidity. This rather suave wine finishes with smooth tannins, a hint of chocolatey oak and very good length. (14.1% alcohol)	Vinous	90		2018-11-14
2017	Pursued by Bear	Blushing Bear Rose	Pale medium orange. Delicate, pristine aromas of watermelon and orange. Juicy, dry and restrained, showing surprising acid support to its flavors of apricot, powdered sugar and minerals, plus hints of red berries. This suave, restrained, rather serious pink wine finishes with a dusty austerity and noteworthy persistence. Very dry and classic--and easy to drink. Pursued by Bear is the project of actor and long-time wine lover Kyle MacLachlan, with the wines made by Dan Wampfler, winemaker at Abeja. (12.9% alcohol)	Vinous	90		2018-11-14
2016	Chateau du Montmirall	Cuvee Beauchamp	Honts of crushed stone, savory dried thyme and lavender accent lush blackberry and cherry flavors here. A blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah, it's lavishly textured but anchored with restraint and earthiness. Drinks beautifully already but should improve through 2028.

2017	Santa Barbara Winery	Chardonnay Santa Barbara County	One of the original bottlings from the region, this is always a reliable and classic coastal Chardonnay. Tangy aromas of grapefruit, orange and chalk lead into a tense palate where racy acidity frames apple rind and lime flavors.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-11-13
2014	El Principal	El Principal Maipo Valley	Slighty foxy, jumpy aromas include notes of mint gumdrop, plum, currant and wild berries. This Cabernet Sauvignon(with 10% Petit Verdot and Syrah) is intense on the palate, with hard tannins and drawing concentration. A strong set of flavors includes baked berry fruit and spice notes, while this is raw, rubbing and fully loaded on the finish. Drink through 2027.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-11-13
2014	El Principal	El Principal Memorias Maipo Valley	Floral plum and berry aromas are spicy and lightly herbal. They do a good job of capturing the essence of this Cabernet Sauvignon, which includes about one-third Syrah and Petit Verdot. A loaded palate is rough and tumble, while this tastes of spicy, foresty berry fruits. Oak, espresso and toast flavors along with heat are the big four on the finish of this cellar-worthy red blend; drink through 2028.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-11-13
NV	Chateau du Tariquet	12 Yr. 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac	This 12-year-old Armagnac is made from Folle Blanche and bottled at cask strength. The caramel aroma offers a whiff of fragrant violet. The drying palate echoes that subtle floral note but finishes with more confectionary flavors: caramel, brown sugar, maple and hazelnut richness, enlivened by bright orange peel.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2018-11-13
NV	Chateau du Tariquet	15 Yr. 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac	Made with a single grape variety (Folle Blanche), this Armagnac opens with toasty brioche, vanilla and cinnamon, almost evoking a cinnamon bun effect. The palate is very drying and oaky, sliding into a long, vanilla- and honey-accented finish sprinkled with cayenne heat. Cask strength	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-11-13
2013	Mas d'En Gil	Coma Vella	The 2013 Coma Vella is a blend of Garnacha with 20% Cariñena and 10% Syrah from the Coma valley within the Mas d'en Gil property. It fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak vats, and the wine matured in 225-, 1,500- and 3,000-liter French and Austrian oak barrels and vats for one year. It's very classical and serious, without any excess, quite balanced, subtle, earthy and spicy. The palate is medium-bodied with some dusty, fine-grained tannins and some rusticity that provides character. 35,618 bottles were filled in May 2015.	Wine Advocate	92+		2018-11-09
