Finca Decero 101098

Mini Ediciones Cabernet Franc 2018

Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina

May 09, 2022
As the name suggests, Mini Ediciones are highly limited parcels of wine. From lesser known varieties, these wines are wholly expressive of the Remolinos Vineyard and represent an opportunity to taste a variety rarely seen in a pure form. Decero Mini Ediciones Cabernet Franc is true to the variety with graphite and plum notes held together in a velvety, medium body. The wine is superbly structured and has great potential for ageing.

Jancis Robinson (17/20) -June 13, 2022 "Juicy and fuller on the mid palate than most Loire reds. Dry end but glossy and gorgeous with some fragrance. Polish. Well done!" -Jancis Robinson, MW

James Suckling -June 13, 2022 “This has a very fresh array of ripe red berries and a spiced biscuit-like edge to the nose, too. The palate has a supple, juicy feel with rich blue-fruit flavors."…

Tim Atkin -June 13, 2022 “Wines of the Year: Best Cabernet Franc: Now made with three different clones (312, 327 and R9), this Cabernet Franc was always good but has ramped up a gear in…

The Owl & The Dust Devil Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina

May 09, 2022

James Suckling -October 10, 2022 "Lots of purple fruit on the nose, along with some fresh-tobacco and cedar undertones. It’s medium-bodied with firm, polished and lightly chewy tannins."-J.S

Finca Decero 101077

The Owl & The Dust Devil Malbec 2018

Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina

May 09, 2022
This wine is a single varietal Malbec which exhibits richness of fruit in the mid palate whilst maintaining an overall elegance in style which is the hallmark of its origin, the high altitude Remolinos Vineyard.

James Suckling -October 10, 2022 "A fresh array of blackberries, blueberries and flowers on the nose, extending to the juicy, firm and medium-bodied palate. Good energy and structure. "-J.S

Finca Decero 101063

Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina

May 06, 2022
Agrelo is recognized for red varieties and while it has been acknowledged for its high-quality Malbec it has also become known as the source of some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon emanating from Argentina. The wine has a beautiful, full-bodied structure that comes across effortlessly due to the hallmark Decero refinement.

James Suckling -July 07, 2022 "A pretty well-poised cabernet sauvignon, showing olives, charcoal and blackberries. Medium body with juicy and fresh-toned, firm tannins that linger with the dark-berry fruit." -J.S 6/22  

Sandrone 101048

Le Vigne Barolo 2018

Barolo

May 04, 2022
Le Vigne is a wine created from four different Nebbiolo vineyards, each of which brings its own contribution. This union generates an exceptionally complex wine that is round and harmonious on the palate, with fruity and spicy notes, and this approach of blending together plots is in fact the traditional one in Barolo.

Wine Spectator -January 11, 2023 "A taut red, with alluring aromas and flavors of rose petal, strawberry, cherry, tea and graphite fused to an elegant frame. Reveals its structure on the long finish, where there's…

Wine Enthusiast -June 27, 2022 "Camphor, violet, red berry and oak-driven spice are front and center on this fragrant red. Elegantly structured and vibrant, the focused palate delivers juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry, star anise…

Wine Advocate (96+) -June 26, 2022 "One of my personal favorites, the 2018 Barolo Le Vigne is savory in character and packed with dark fruit. Ripe cherry and redcurrant cedes to spice, licorice and fragrant rose.…

James Suckling -June 21, 2022 "The delicate mix of creamy red berries and savory, truffley notes keeps your nose glued to the glass. And that subtlety is carried over into the medium-to full-bodied palate, where…

Sandrone 101041

ALESTE Barolo 2018

Barolo

May 04, 2022
ALESTE - a combination of the names of Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano -- is the new name for Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis, which garnered Luciano his early acclaim with the international trade and press. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated but shows incredible harmony and balance.

Wine Spectator -January 19, 2023 "An open-knit Barolo highlighted by plum, cherry, leather and tar flavors. Supple in texture before firming up, with dusty, refined tannins lingering on the finish. This should evolve nicely with…

Wine Enthusiast -June 27, 2022 "Fragrant purple flower, woodland berry and menthol aromas form the nose along with whiffs of spice. The elegant, medium-bodied palate offers juicy pomegranate, red currant and oak-driven spice set against…

Wine Advocate -June 26, 2022 "Made with fruit from Cannubi Boschis, the Luciano Sandrone 2018 Barolo Aleste is plump and ripe, but this wine also shows a more delicate character that is its ace card.…

James Suckling -May 04, 2022 “Dried red berries and dried flowers, almost tobacco on the nose. Citrus and minty notes add character. Medium-to full-bodied, elegant and silky palate that thickens out with fine, creamy tannins…

Attems 100939

Cicinis 2021

Collio Sauvignon Blanc DOC

May 02, 2022
The Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc is an utterly distinctive expression of Sauvignon Blanc. From a single vineyard in the Collio area, the tremendous density and aromatics are joined by a deep and complex texture due to the aging in oak barrels and cement eggs. Truly the Attems flagship.

James Suckling -August 23, 2023 "This is bright and citrusy with candied lemons and lychee as well as notes of honeysuckle and savory herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with tangy acidity and plenty of fruit. Juicy…

Tommasi 100689

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Ca’ Florian 2013

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG

April 18, 2022
Amarone Riserva “Ca ‘Florian” is made with selected grapes from one of the oldest vineyards owned by the Tommasi family, with vines averaging 30 years.

Wine Spectator -August 02, 2023 "Round and silky, showing chewy tannins that are well-meshed with flavors of pureed black cherry, candied violet, eucalyptus and medicinal herbs, with a subtle thread of sweet smoke. Juicy, with…

Wine Enthusiast -June 27, 2023 "The Ca’ Florian comes from the estate’s oldest vineyards in the heart of the region. The wine opens with dried black cherries that have been dusted with sweet and savory…

Wine & Spirits -February 10, 2023 "Deeply concentrated flavors of dried cherry and plum are enriched by notes of dark chocolate and spiced almond. The grippy tannins would match well with roasted pork shoulder." -S.J 2/23

Vinous -April 18, 2022 Masses of crushed cherries, dried florals, cinnamon, clove and stone dust creates a seductive bouquet as the 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Ca' Florian blossoms in the glass. It’s…

Brittan Vineyards 100596

Gestalt Block Pinot Noir 2017

McMinville

April 15, 2022
Winemaker Robert Brittan, a wine industry veteran with the experience of over 45 harvests, has always had a passion for Pinot noir; a love affair that began in the 1980’s when he made several vintages under his Britt Hill label with fruit from Carneros. In 2004, Robert decided to leave Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa and start a Pinot noir project in the cool climate of the northern Willamette Valley. Planted in the Wetsern-most part of the estate, a dense layer of basalt soil greatly diminishes yields, resulting in black fruited wines with high structure and complexity.

Josh Raynolds -April 15, 2022 Glistening ruby-red. Smoke-tinged cherry, dark berries, candied rose and a hint of vanilla on the highly perfumed nose. Intense black raspberry, bitter cherry, licorice and floral pastille flavors show impressive…

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 All of Robert Brittan’s 2017 Pinots are finished at lower alcohol levels than the previous vintage, but remain balanced and ripened appropriately. This is full flavored, with raspberry and black-cherry…

Brittan Vineyards 100592

Cygnus Block Pinot Noir 2018

McMinville

April 15, 2022
The three-acre, east facing Cygnus Block was planted in 2008 to the low-yielding Swan Selection of Pinot noir (the only single-selection block on the property). Unlike the rest of the vineyard, rows here are planted in an east/west orientation giving the block a different exposure to the sun and reducing the influence of the Van Duzer winds, which are channeled through the rows instead of across them. This block’s unique aspect, orientation, and selection create fresh, balanced, seamless wines brimming with red fruits. The Cygnus Block is characterized by its eastern exposure, exclusive Swan Clone plantings (Cygnus being the Latinized Greek name for Swan), and east/west orientation, reducing the effect of the Van Duzer corridor.

Vinous -May 03, 2022 Shimmering ruby-red. Highly perfumed, smoke-tinged cherry and blackberry scents are complemented by suggestions of candied rose and succulent herbs. Concentrated yet lively bitter cherry, dark berry and spicecake flavors pick…

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 Complex from the get-go, this marries brambly red fruits to light streaks of caramel, toasted hazelnuts and buttery toast. It’s made from the unusual Swan clone, a California import that…

Brittan Vineyards 100590

Estate Syrah 2017

McMinville

April 15, 2022
Winemaker Robert Brittan developed a love for Rhône varieties during his first visit to the Northern Rhône Valley in the early 1980’s. Captivated by the cool climate Syrahs from Cornas and Côte-Rôtie and intrigued by the cool, windy climate in McMinnville, Robert was encouraged to explore how Syrah would express itself on his rugged, exposed hillside.

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 This is as rare as domestic Syrah can be, coming from the northern Willamette Valley and ripened to just 12% alcohol. It’s an elegant, subtle wine with light touches of…

Brittan Vineyards 100589

Estate Syrah 2016

McMinville

April 15, 2022
Winemaker Robert Brittan developed a love for Rhône varieties during his first visit to the Northern Rhône Valley in the early 1980’s. Captivated by the cool climate Syrahs from Cornas and Côte-Rôtie and intrigued by the cool, windy climate in McMinnville, Robert was encouraged to explore how Syrah would express itself on his rugged, exposed hillside.

Patrick J Comiskey -April 15, 2022 Robert Brittan honed his talent with petite sirah and Rhône inspired blends at Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa. Now working with syrah in Willamette, his McMinnville bottling bears an exotic…

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 Low-alcohol Syrah may have found its Oregon home. At least at this estate it can be ripened at modest sugar levels and still have complex and intriguing flavors. It’s a…

Estate Pinot Noir 2018

McMinville

April 15, 2022
Winemaker Robert Brittan, a wine industry veteran with the experience of over 45 harvests, has always had a passion for Pinot noir; a love affair that began in the 1980’s when he made several vintages under his Britt Hill label with fruit from Carneros. In 2004, Robert decided to leave Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa and start a Pinot noir project in the cool climate of the northern Willamette Valley.

Josh Raynolds -May 03, 2022 Brilliant ruby. Tightly focused cherry, dark chocolate, licorice and floral scents are accompanied by suggestions of musky herbs and smoky minerals. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry,…

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 This is a sophisticated representation of the AVA, showing its steely minerality first and foremost. The brambly berry fruit is a bit constricted, with flavors suggesting mountain-grown wild berries. There’s…

Brittan Vineyards 100577

Estate Chardonnay 2019

McMinville

April 15, 2022
Robert Brittan developed a love for Chardonnay during his tenure as the first winemaker at Far Niente Winery in the early 1980’s, a passion that continued to grow during his 16 years at Stags’ Leap Winery. In 2004, Robert decided to leave California and start a vineyard project in the cool climate of the northern Willamette Valley, the home of the finest New World Chardonnay grown today.

Paul Gregutt -April 15, 2022 A master of Chardonnay, Robert Brittan expresses the particular strengths of the estate vineyard here. A stony foundation supports the crisp mix of apple, pear and peach fruit. Though relatively low in…

Tenuta Luce 100432

Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

April 05, 2022
Luce Brunello is the estate's tribute to one of Italy's crowning jewels of wine production. Of the 217 acres of vineyards at Luce, 27 are are officially listed in the Register for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. It is an exquisitely balanced wine, gentle and yet powerful, and is produced in very small quantities to showcase the unique character of a pure Sangiovese  from the estate and to pay tribute to the tradition of winemaking excellence in Montalcino.

Wine Spectator -June 21, 2022 “A rich red, this boasts cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, bitter almond and herb flavors. Taut and dense, with brisk acidity and dusty tannins that truncate the finish for now. Traditional…

Wine Enthusiast -April 05, 2022 “Underbrush, violet and baked plum are some of the aromas you'll find on this bold red. Big and savory, the warm palate is brawny but polished, offering fleshy black cherry,…

Ponzi Vineyards 100358

Pinot Gris 2021

Willamette Valley

March 29, 2022
One of the original and most recognized Oregon and U.S. Pinot Gris producers, Ponzi was a major influence in establishing Pinot Gris as the first quality white grape variety in Oregon. Ponzi's Pinot Gris is an irresistably aromatic and expressive wine, and serves as a first encounter for many wine drinkers with Oregon wines and the Ponzi estate.

Wine Enthusiast (Editors' Choice) -June 27, 2023 “With enough acidity to give a small town goosebumps, the Ponzi Pinot Gris first offers aromas of ripe Bosc pear and chalk. The Granny Smith apple, lemon and fresh basil…

Olivet Lane Chardonnay 2019

Russian River Valley, California

March 24, 2022
Pellegrini’s Olivet Lane Vineyard was planted in 1975 to Wente selection on AXR rootstock. The vineyard sits on 65 acres of sloping bench land in the Santa Rosa Plain, in between the warmer Westside Road region and the cooler Green Valley,where warm summer days are moderated by cool breezes and chilly evening temperatures. The combination of low temperatures, regular fog intrusion and well drained loam, clay soils create an excellent environment for growing Chardonnay that develop cool-climate characteristics and impeccable acid at fairly low sugars.The wines from this vineyard simultaneously express power and finesse, and they do so with tremendous balance. 

Wine Spectator -October 04, 2022 "This has intense pineapple, apricot and yuzu flavors that are mouthwatering on a lean, crisp frame. Packs plenty of intensity, with a note of sea salt on the finish." -MW

Wine Enthusiast -May 04, 2022 "Floral and slightly yeasty on the nose, with notes of grapefruit and sliced green apple as well. Medium-to full-bodied with pleasant salinity. Subtle herbs and spices add good complexity. Wet-stone…

Wine Enthusiast -March 24, 2022 "From the great site planted originally in 1975, this light-bodied white is bright in tangerine and lemon peel, with an ongoing bite of acidity. Anise, honeysuckle and a touch of…

Iron Horse Vineyards 100070

Russian Cuvée 2017

Green Valley, Russian River Valley, California

March 16, 2022
Russian Cuvée has multiple layers of meaning. Originally named for the historic Reagan-Gorbachev Summit Meetings in 1985, it also refers to the vineyard’s unique location in the Russian River Valley. The Russian Cuvée is the “richest” in the Iron Horse line up, though it is still technically brut-level dry. A perfect toasting wine, served at White House State Dinners for six consecutive Presidential Administrations, it boasts aromas of caramel apple, nutmeg and orange zest, flavors of ripe red apple, lime, brioche and brown sugar on the palate. It is equally comfortable at the end of the meal with dessert as at the start of the meal for a toast.

Wine Spectator -November 03, 2022 "Sumptuous and rich in texture, with soft and pretty pear and lemon tart flavors that pick up hints of spice and brioche on a luscious finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay."…

Iron Horse Vineyards 100069

Wedding Cuvée 2018

Green Valley, Russian River Valley, California

March 16, 2022
The irresistible Wedding Cuvée has witnessed countless special moments since its inception in 1980, served at engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day celebrations. Iron Horse’s play on a Blanc de Noirs, this wine features extremely expressive and fruit forward Pinot Noir lots blended with just a touch of steely Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone. A romantic tinge of pink in the glass hints at the character of the Pinot Noir in this cuvée, and raspberry and nutmeg aromas on the nose are followed by juicy stone fruit, lively blood orange, and red berry flavors that are held seamlessly together with refined and delicate bubbles. Dangerously easy to drink.

Wine Spectator -October 12, 2022 "This beautiful bubbly is stately yet festive, with effusive notes of raspberry and zesty lemon accented with graham cracker and fresh ginger as this fans out on the finish, picking…

Classic Vintage Brut 2018

Green Valley, Russian River Valley, California

March 16, 2022
The flagship of the estate, this wine shows everything the family strives to accomplish. The quality and finesse strike memory bells that say “Champagne,” while the flavors are unmistakably Sonoma County, Russian River, Green Valley and most distinctly Iron Horse. Delightful and complex rising dough, orange marmalade and baked apple aromas lead to an exquisitely balanced palate with flavors of ripe red apple, mandarin orange and hazelnut.  The complexity of flavors and textures are perhaps only overshadowed by the sheer pleasure of enjoyment.

Wine Spectator -October 13, 2022 "Delightfully expressive and detailed in structure, this bubbly bursts with aromas of Asian pear, yeast roll and spice and slowly unfurls with notes of fresh ginger and green apple. Pinot…
