Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley |
This distinguished red is sleekly structured and expressive, with refined black cherry flavors accented by dusky spice, pencil lead and espresso tones that build tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. |

Sauvignon Blanc Blind River 'Three Brooms' |
There's plenty of intensity to the bright, fresh notes of pomelo, lemon and yuzu in this white, with zingy acidity, plus accents of lemon curd, lemon verbena and salted lime wedges on a light frame. Drink now. |

Chateau Bouscasse |
Madiran |
The 2018 Château Bouscassé, the first crafted entirely by Antoine Veiry, is a blend of 60% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon matured 36 months in 20% new oak barrels. It displays a complex, spicy bouquet with aromas of plum, licorice, black fruits and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, the wine tastes like the essence of Madiran with structuring, refined, velvety tannins and a seamless palate. It has a long and generous finish, making it a wine with a remarkable potential for aging (15-20 years and more). |

Chateau Montus |
Madiran |
Exhibiting notions of spices, tobacco, blackberries, licorice and herbs, the 2018 Château Montus is medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by fine tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish. More intense and tense than the 2018 Bouscassé, it needs a couple of years in the bottle to chill out, but you can already see the potential. This is a blend of 80% Tannat, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc sourced from vines planted on pebbles and clay soils, matured 36 months in barrels, of which 40% are new. |

Domaine du Pegau |
Cotes du Rhone Blanc 'Cuvee Lone' |
Crafted from 50+-year-old vines in Sorgues, this luscious wine presents a refreshing allure with a good concentration of orchard-fruit aromas. Vibrant notes of green pear, honeysuckle and acacia gracefully emerge in the glass. Its round palate showcases soft pear along with stony-limestone minerality that gently travels down the palate. |

Sauvignon Blanc Blind River 'Arona' |
Dried herbs and green beans open on this vegetal-led bottling. Lime and passion fruit notes follow. There’s a flicker of residual sugar on the palate, but overall it feels fresh and fruity, with flavors of passion fruit lingering. Best Buy. |
