2013	Dunham Cellars	Pursued by Bear Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon	Refined and well-structured, with expressive blackberry and coffee bean aromas and rich, polished savory spice and fresh sage flavors that glide toward plump tannins. Drink now through 2026.—T.F	Wine Spectator	93		2017-05-15
2015	Two Hands	Lily's Garden	Exuberant, this bursts with clove, toasted coconut and dark chocolate flavors that are thick and velvety, complementing the kirsch notes at the core. A hint of fresh mint adds complexity. Generous, with a finish that goes on and on. Drink now through 2027.	Wine Spectator	93		2017-05-15
2009	Valderiz	Tomas Esteban	The 2009 Valderiz Tomas Esteban comes from a biodynamically cultivated vineyard populated by vines between 80 and 100 years, subsequently aged in new French oak for 24 months. It has a tightly wound, floral bouquet with macerated black cherries, crushed violets and a touch of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied with plush, rounded red berry fruit interlaced with dried herbs and spices, hints of clove toward the finish that is very persistent. This is another superb wine from Valderiz, but it requires 3-5 years in bottle. Drink 2015-2025. I was very impressed by the wines of Bodegas y Vinedos Valderiz: mostly Ribera del Dueros with character, precision and vivacity. These are well worth seeking out.	Wine Advocate	93		2017-05-15
2015	Two Hands	Sexy Beast	Impressive, with a plush, seductive and succulent body, offering sink-your-teeth-into-them flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum, accented by details of dark chocolate, rose petal and savory. Drink now through 2025.	Wine Spectator	93		2017-05-11
2015	Aubichon	Pinot Noir	Rich round cherry fruit,lightly infused with tobacco highlights, introduces this delicious wine. There is a pleasing softness to the palate, without it being in any way flat or flabby. The fruit seems more mature than the young vintage would suggest, and it’s drinking more like a wine from half a decade ago, which means you don’t need to cellar it to get cellar-style flavors. Pie cherry, orange peel and even a touch of pineapple peeks through the lingering finish. Editors’ Choice.—P.G.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2017-05-01
2015	Aubichon	Pinot Noir Riverside Vineyard	Light at first, almost delicate, this pretty wine has strawberry and pomegranate fruit, gentle herbal highlights, and tannins that taste of green tea. The finish turns a bit astringent, with a lick of cola. Give it some hours of aeration and it fleshes out, with a lush mix of tart fruit and milk chocolate barrel flavors.

2014	Valderiz	Juegabolos	This bold red delivers sweet fruit flavors of black raspberry and cassis, backed by vanilla and toasty oak hints and accented with floral and mineral notes. Drink now through 2024.—T.M	Wine Spectator	93		2017-05-01
2015	Sojourn	Sangiacomo Chardonnay	Salty on the palate, this medium-bodied wine is focused in tension and nervy freshness, with a generosity of complex fruit. Lime, pear and fig ride a cool-climate wave of orange peel that lifts the underlying density and concentration at work in this vintage. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2017-04-17
2015	Sojourn	Gap's Crown Pinot Noir		Wine Enthusiast	91		2017-04-17
