Frog’s Leap Winery Zinfandel 2023
St. Helena
August 12, 2026 - Frog's Leap Zinfandel is a deliberate and deeply considered departure from the overripe style that dominated the category for decades. Inspired by California's legendary old-vine field blend tradition, this wine draws its power from elegance and structure rather than alcohol, with co-fermented Petite Sirah and Carignane adding backbone and complexity.
James Suckling - June 26, 2025 Quite bold and structured, this red has a good bite of tannin to counterbalance the ripe, opulent blackberry and raspberry flavors. A full body also brings dark cherry, dried blueberry,…
Frog’s Leap Winery Chardonnay 2023
Carneros
August 12, 2026 - The winery's philosophy emphasizes letting vineyards speak, using winemaking as a means of refinement rather than transformation. This approach aligns Frog's Leap Chardonnay with classical benchmarks, prioritizing freshness, mineral structure and food compatibility.
James Suckling - March 20, 2025 Spiced apples and pears with hints of citrus peel and raw almonds on the nose. Tense and juicy with medium to full body and a compact, lightly phenolic texture. Vivid…
Ponzi Vineyards Laurelwood Pinot Noir Reserve 2022
Willamette Valley
August 11, 2026 - Ponzi’s Pinot Noir Reserve is made exclusively from estate fruit, including some of Oregon’s oldest vines. For over 50 years, the Ponzi family has farmed 140 acres of certified sustainable vineyards on Laurelwood soils. Over time, the vines have evolved, with red fruit in their youth giving way to dark berry and brambly spice. The Reserve’s layered complexity make it one of the finest examples of site-expressive Pinot Noir in North America. As Wine Spectator once wrote, “All Oregon Pinot Noirs are measured against the Ponzi yardstick.”
Wine Spectator - July 08, 2026 "Gracefully structured and multilayered, with expressive flavors of blueberry and cherry that are accented by rose petal and dusky spices. Finishes with fine-grained tannins."
Wine Advocate - November 06, 2025 "The 2022 Pinot Noir Reserve was matured for 16 months in 47% new French oak. It has layered aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, mossy bark and floral perfume. The…
Wine Enthusiast - May 01, 2026 "The intensity of this reserve wine's acidity is complemented by its tangy aromas of not-quite-ripe raspberries, violets, cacao nibs and wet stones. The bracing acidity makes for a crisp and…
William Fèvre Chablis Domaine 2023
Chablis
August 11, 2026 - Domaine William Fèvre is the benchmark producer in Chablis, the largest Grand Cru owner in the appellation and a defining voice in the region's identity since 1959. Chablis Domaine is the village-level expression of that legacy: 46.8 hectares of Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone, planted in the extension of the Premier Crus and farmed with the same rigor as the domaine's finest holdings.
James Suckling - May 20, 2026 "Good depth of minerality goes a bit deeper and vertically here with green apples, lime, chalk and seashells. Nicely round, with subtle salinity on the medium-bodied palate before a sleek,…
Wine Advocate - January 29, 2026 "Sourced from a mosaic of exposures and elevations and incorporating old vines planted between 1969 and 1972, the 2023 Chablis Village offers aromas of pear, white flowers and freshly baked…
