2016	Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	The 2016 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol is young, tight and hard to read (which is normal for this cuvée). Apple blossom, citrus rind and hints of minerality emerge from this nicely concentrated, fresh, crisp white that's going to need a year or more of cellaring to show its potential.

2015	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	The young(er) vine cuvée is the 2015 Cornas Les Chailles which comes from the Chaillot, Mazards, Chapuze, and Combe lieux-dits. It’s all destemmed and brought up in older barrels. It offers terrific black fruits, saddle leather, bouquet garni and floral/violet aromas and flavors, full-bodied richness, plenty of sweet tannin and a great finish. It's going to be a terrific value.	Jeb Dunnuck	92		2018-01-30
2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	The 2016 Cornas Les Chailles offers a forward, fruity style in its blackberry, plum, and violet aromas and flavors, yet has ample mid-palate depth and building tannin on the palate. As with all Albéric’s wines, it has sensational purity of fruit.	Jeb Dunnuck	91-94		2018-01-30
2015	Alain Voge	Saint Joseph Les Cotes	In addition to the stellar lineup from Cornas, Voge releases a terrific Saint Joseph. All from the Les Cotes lieu-dit outside of Mauves, the 2015 Saint Joseph Les Côtes sports a deep purple color as well as lots of black and blue fruits, some forest floor and tapenade notes, a ripe, sexy, voluptuous style on the palate, and terrific purity of fruit. It’s another beautiful wine from this estate, which is clearly at the top of their game.	Jeb Dunnuck	92		2018-01-30
2016	Alain Voge	Saint Joseph Les Cotes	Tasted out of barrel, the 2016 Saint Joseph Les Côtes is terrific, with lots of currants, violets, and peppery aromas and flavors. Classic in just about every sense, with medium-bodied richness, pure, clean fruit, lots of minerality and a great finish, it has the fruit to drink nicely in its youth, yet should keep for a decade or more given its balance, purity and tannin.	Jeb Dunnuck	91-93		2018-01-30
2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Voge's old vine cuvée, the 2016 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is a head turner that balances loads of clean, classic Syrah fruit with the textbook pepper, mineral and garrigue character that's the hallmark of the appellation. Full-bodied, elegant and balanced, with present yet fine tannin, it's going to be accessible in its youth, yet cruise for 10-15 years given its balance.	Jeb Dunnuck	93-95		2018-01-30
2016	Hopler	Gruner Veltliner	The nose of this wine gives an immediate breezy, zesty impression before a faint hazelnut note appears. On the palate, fruit is in the foregound. Green apple plays with ripe yellow pear and leaves a lovely, light footed yet textured mouthfeel with a refreshing finish.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-01-24
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	A two-acre parcel of 84-year-old vines forms a great starting point for this intense wine. With considerable acidity as well as dark tannins, the black-currant fruit is still firmly embedded inthe wine’s dark core. So wait, and drink it from 2019.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-01-24
2016	Keuka Spring	Gewurztraminer	Heady aromas of rose and jasmine meld with rich tangerine and red apple notes. Off-dry on the palate, melon and florals meet with plenty of acidic cut from grapefruit zest, leading to a candied lemon and ginger finish. Weight, power and balance make this an excellent offering from winemaker August Diemel.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-01-24
2014	Rocca di Castagnoli	Chainti Classico DOCG	French oak, underbrush, balsamic aromas, coconut and baked plum aromas are front and center on this radiant, structured red. Made entirely with organically farmed Sangiovese, the savory, elegant palate delivers wild cherry, pomegranate, baking spice and a hint of orange zest. Firm, polished tannins and fresh acidity provide age-worthy support and balance. Drink 2019–2029.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-01-24
