Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
2015	Aldonia	Vendimia Rioja	This is not your traditional Rioja, quite the opposite. Predominantly Grenache, this offering is full of red and bright juicy fruit with notes of plum and red cherry. This modern style has only spent 4 months in 500 litre oak barrels, resulting in a very fruit driven style with a bright acidity and spicy edge.	Decanter	90		2016-10-26
2014	Dunham Cellars	Three Legged Red	This wine brings immediate appeal, with notes of blueberry, vanilla and baking spices. The palate is sweet and supple, with plentiful bluefruit flavors that linger. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2016-10-19
2014	Lafond	Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills	Deep black plum, clove, dried blueberry, dried roses and dried violets show on the very nice nose of this bottling by Bruce McGuire and pioneer Pierre Lafond. It’s well structured on the sip, disclosing plums, sweet berries and touches of nutmeg and allspice. It’s a strong showing for one of their more affordable bottlings.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2016-10-17

NV	Champagne Jacquart	Mosaique	Rich, featuring an undertow of smoke and roasted nut mixing with flavors of lack currant, lemon meringue pie and ground ginger, with a hint of honeycomb. Refined in texture and framed by well-knit acidity, with a lasting, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2020.	Wine Spectator	92		2016-10-17

2013	Killibinbin	Sneaky Shiraz	This is a supple, creamy-textured Shiraz to enjoy through 2020. Red-fruit notes of strawberry and raspberry marry easily with dark hints of plum and mocha, then linger gently on the finish.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2016-10-10
2014	Landmark	Overlook Chardonnay	Alluring aromas of smoky, toasty oak and rich flavors of fig, apricot and melon give this an appealing, drink-me-now character. Drink now.	Wine Spectator	90		2016-09-26
2009	Chateau Bopuscasse	Vendemiaire	Petit Manseng, found in the deep southwest, lends itself so beautifully to sweet botrytized wines. With its beautiful apricot and mango flavors, filled with honey and spice, this is a wine that is both light and rich. The acidity gives the wine a lift at the end.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2016-09-22
