Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel Rioja 2020
Rioja
May 19, 2025 - Born in 1986 from the Marqués de Riscal’s close relationship to some of the top winemakers in Bordeaux, the Barón de Chirel in many ways kicked off a new era of Rioja. Chosen from very old (80-110 years), low-yielding parcels of high-altitude Tempranillo and Cabernet vines around Elciego, these grapes undergo a meticulous process of selection before a special vinification process. The care that goes into this wine has cemented its prestige among discerning customers.
James Suckling - September 12, 2024 "Iodine, mussels and some dark chocolate with blackberries and dark plums. Pretty opulent and a little more generous than the 2021 and 2019. More muscular, too, with fine-grained tannins and…
Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo 2021
Toscana IGT
May 13, 2025 - This Tuscan "Super Value" is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma called Rompicollo. The vineyard benefits from southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a soil rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.
Wine Spectator - February 12, 2025 "Black currant, blackberry, iron, tapenade and mint aromas and flavors highlight this thickly textured red. Firm and elegant, showing all the characteristics of Cabernet Franc. Ends long."
E. Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
May 13, 2025 - Guigal produces an intensely concentrated, inviting and complex Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is unique to the region today. Their passion for Châteauneuf, the leading appellation of the Southern Rhône, runs as deeply as that for their home sites in the North. The combination of working with top fruit that has perfect ripeness, along with their extraordinary patience in the cellar, results in rich and full, yet savory, spicy, seamless and balanced wines. This one can be enjoyed immediately but is capable of aging for the long haul.
Jeb Dunnuck - March 28, 2024 "A ripe, perfumed, medium to full-bodied effort that stays firmly planted in the more elegant style of the vintage. Ripe red and black fruits (raspberries, strawberries), garrigue, and peppery notes…
Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Marlborough
May 07, 2025 - Dog Point Chardonnay is one of New Zealand’s most expressive and distinctive white wines. Sourced from low-yielding, hand-tended vines in the Wairau Valley and crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the site’s character with clarity and intensity. A reductive, flinty edge meets layered fruit and leesy complexity, creating a taut, mineral-driven wine with serious structure and precision. As with all Dog Point wines, it’s a national benchmark—an unfiltered, uncompromising Chardonnay with Burgundian depth and unmistakable Marlborough identity.
Wine Advocate - December 20, 2024 "The 2021 Chardonnay leads with preserved lemon on the nose along with freshly picked curry leaf, white peach and spring blossoms. In the mouth, the wine is elegant and layered,…
Wine Enthusiast - January 25, 2024 "Subtle struck match and grilled nut aromas perch just above the lemon and toast aromas without overpowering them; a salty, seashell vibe is present, too. There's vibrant, citrusy acidity on…
Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Marlborough
May 05, 2025 - Dog Point's Sauvignon Blanc has become the icon in its category, a stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc that pulsates with energy, expressiveness and complexity that push the boundaries of what you may expect from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Wine Spectator - July 17, 2024 "Lush and expressive, with plenty of concentration to the mix of mango, lemon curd and litsea oil flavors. Details of dried pineapple, candied ginger and crystalized orange zest add complexity…
