2016	Carol Shelton	Rondevous Rose Mendocino County	Carol Shelton, the Queen of Zinfandel, also makes outstanding rose. This bottling exhibits a nice fresh, red fruited nose that carries over to a quite densely flavored palate. It has excellent balancing acidity and is mouth filling, more like a red wine in weight and mouthfeel. It also reveals a hint of spices on the palate. Finishes medium long. Made from sustainably grown Carignan grapes	I Winereview	91		2018-06-26
2016	Hopler	Pinot Noir	A lovely touch of wet earth joins softly floral notes on the nose. The palate has a soft texture, somewhere between silk and velvet, with lovely tart cherry fruit, both red, and black. This is a lovely, elegant and resonant proposition with a beautifully fresh finish.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-06-26
2016	St. Urbans Hof	Bockstein Riesling Kabinett	Plush pink-grapefruit and pomelo flavors burst from this light-bodied but intensely ripe Riesling. It's subtly sweet yet tangy, balanced by spine-tingling lime acidity and refreshing mineral complexities. Delicious already but it should improve through 2022, hold further.

2017	Carol Shelton	Rendezvous Rose Mendocino County	A spirited California rosé, with lively raspberry, cherry and spice flavors that dance along the finish. Carignane, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now. 1,616 cases made.	Wine Spectator	90		2018-06-21
2016	Le Cadeau	Diversite Pinot Noir Willamette Valley	This multi-clonal selection is lushly endowed with a bright mix of red fruit, recalling cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry and cherry. It’s annotated with orange peel highlights and orange blossom scents. The detail and subtlety are impressive.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2018-06-21
2016	Le Cadeau	Rocheaux Pinot Noir Willamette Valley	As the name suggests, this wine comes off a rocky part of the estate vineyard, creating a sturdy platform for its rich array of blue-berry and brambly cherry fruit. There’s a whiff of chicken stock also, and it’s still tight with youthful tension. Give it plenty of aeration or an extra year or two in bottle before popping the cork.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-06-21
2010	Punset	Barbaresco Campo Quadro DOCG	A powerful, meaty style, boasting cherry, plum, licorice, leather and tobacco aromas and flavors, and beginning to show a hint of truffle. Still supported by dense tannins, with a mineral element gracing the long finish. Best from 2020 through 2038. 300 cases made.	Wine Spectator	95		2018-06-21
2016	Aubichon Cellars	Pinot Noir	This blend from three vineyards comes on thick and sappy, with chunky black fruit flavors. Earth, forest floor and dark chocolate details emerge as it fills the palate. It glides smoothly into a rich finish marked by a vein of cola.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-06-21
2016	Aubichon Cellars	Reserve Pinot Noir	This reserve bottling from five vineyards—principally in the Chehalem Mountains AVA—is layered and complex. It leads with tart berry and Bing cherry fruit, building toward lighter notes of Dr. Pepper, mushroom soup and miso as it opens. Then, it charges back into lush berry flavors through the palate-rousing finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2018-06-21
2016	Jolete	Pinot Noir Le Verre	Consumers have an impressive number of excellent Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs from which to choose at this price point. This one offers deep and potent black fruit and even darker notes of black coffee and chocolate. There's nothing cheap or cheerful about it. It's a serious bottle of wine, right down to the finishing suggestions of toast from new oak aging.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-06-21
