2017 Col Vetoraz Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut Typical honeysuckle, stone and orchard fruit nose. Crispy and lemony palate with lots of refreshing acidity. Very well-made, simple but easy-drinking. Decanter 90 2018-06-05
2017 Pursued by Bear Blushing Bear Rose Very pale rose, near clear rim. Mourvèdre 50%, Grenache 30%, Cinsault 20%. Actor Kyle McLachlan’s Winery project, with wines made by Dan Wampfler (Abeja). Given the dominant variety, we are not surprised this is a more richly textured, fuller bodied Bandol-style Rosé. Faint berry aromas, then light mineral-fresh, slightly stony aromas. Medium plus acidity adds relief and provides a nice saline, earthy/mineral length to the finish. Not as breezy and lifted as most rosé wines, but perfect to drink with fuller dishes and richly flavorful ones. A blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 20% Cinsault made Provence style by winemaker Kyle MacLachlan. 12.9% alc. I Winereview 90 2018-06-05
2015 Bodegas Y Vinedos Valderiz Ribera del Duero Rich and focused, this red delivers ripe fruit flavors of currant and blackberry that mingle with espresso, mineral and licorice notes. The firm tannins are well-integrated and crisp acidity keeps this focused. Concentrated and harmonious. Drink now through 2030 Wine Spectator 94 2018-06-05
2017 Enanzo Garnacha Rosado This 100% Garnacha is medium red in color with a lovely perfumed nose of red raspberry, strawberry and floral notes. It has a wonderful silky palate feel, pure fruit and excellent balance. It is handpicked, direct pressed, and fermented in old cement vats with very little lees contact. Bodegas Campos de Enanzo is a cooperative comprised of 269 family winegrowers located in the southern part of the appellation. Firstclass winemaking. I Winereview 91 2018-06-05
2017 Keuka Spring Vineyards Dry Rose This dry rose is a blend of Lemberger and Cabernet Franc from vineyards overlooking Keuka Lake. It displays a very pale blush color with faint yellow and red cherry skin scents. Crisp on the attack, it is subtly flavored on the palate, almost like a white wine. Very clean and mineral like with persistent mineral notes on the finish. Good example of a mineral driven, subtly flavored rose. Part barrel fermented. Astounding value! I Winereview 91 2018-06-05
2015 Domaine Yves Cheron Les Dentelles Cotes du Rhone 2015 I was blown away by the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Yves Cheron les Dentelles. Made from 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah aged all in cement, it’s a big, rich, full-bodied beauty that’s loaded with notions of kirsch, blackberries, toasted spices and white pepper. Deep, rich, concentrated and impeccably balanced, it’s the real deal. Wine Advocate 92 2018-05-29
2017 Quintay Sauvignon Blanc Valle de Casablanca Clava Reserva Very attractive summer meadow and melon nose. Crisp and clean, but also ripe enough to have good balance. Drink now. Screw cap. James Suckling 90 2018-05-25
2014 Dunham Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon XX Some super ripe dried-plum and herb aromas framed in graphite and toasty oak lead to a palate that freshens the fruit up nicely. Drink young. James Suckling 90 2018-05-22
2014 Dunham Cellars Trutina Very pretty tar and blackberry aromas with hints of mint. Medium body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. A blend of 44 % merlot, 38 % cabernet sauvignon, 10 % malbec and 8 % cabernet franc. Delicious to drink now. James Suckling 92 2018-05-22
2014 Dunham Cellars Syrah Columbia Valley A spicy, ripe and plush expression with straightforward blackberries and dark plums, hints of chocolate, light peppery notes and smooth-honed tannins. A slick and modern wine where dark fruits meet dark chocolate. Drink now. James Suckling 93 2018-05-22
