Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
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
2013	Vina Chocalan	Vitrium Red Blend	This Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah-led blend opens with blackened oak, vanilla and blackberry aromas. A deep strong palate is not shy with tannins, while this tastes a bit woody, with herbal, spicy black-fruit notes. A dense peppery finish is texturally solid.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-01-24
2014	Chateau Beauchene	Cuvee de la Serrière Châteauneuf-du-Pape	While plush with ripe blueberry and cherry flavors, this fullbodied, warming red has tinges of freshly tilled earth, garrigue and spice. It’s not concentrated but easy drinking and fresh. The finish is moderately long, ending in slightly tacky but fine-grained tannins.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-01-23
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Grands Cras	One of three bottlings from this producer that showcases different aspects of Morgon, this wine is full, seriously structured and has the potential of great fruitiness. That will take time; for now the wine is a series of rich tannins that are very mineral in texture. Drink from 2019.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2018-01-23
2015	Landmark	Overlook Pinot Noir	Aromas of roasted red cherry, sharp black raspberry and herb-tinged smoked pork in mulberry sauce make for a mouthwatering entry to this bottling. The oak is strong on the palate, giving a vanilla overlay to the cranberry and rose petal flavors. A hint of juniper shows on the finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2018-01-23
2015	Di Giovanna	Siciliani Rosso	Pleasingly aromatic and richly flavored, this Rosso reveals dense, fresh dark cherry and plum with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of charred oak. It finishes long with fine, firm tannins.	I Winereview	91		2018-01-17
