Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Omnia 2022

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

May 31, 2026 - Omnia, Latin for "all," is a wine that attempts to encompass the full diversity of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, both in its terroir and vinification. Fruit comes from vineyards in all 5 of the Châteauneuf communes (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Courthezon, Sorgues, Bedarrides and Orange) and aged in foudre, cement and 500 liter barrels.

Wine Spectator - January 08, 2026 "The gorgeous texture defines this beautiful, perfumy, inviting Châteauneuf. Fresh, crunchy red fruit is flecked with exotic spices, and incense wafts through, while green, herbal freshness brings lovely lift. Complex…

Vinous - November 01, 2024 "Time in the glass gradually unlocks ripe black cherry, red plum, licorice and spicy garrigue notes. Full-bodied, concentrated and polished, the 2022 is framed by chalky tannins and finishes with…

Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Magis 2022

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

May 31, 2026 - Another unsurprising but jawdropping discovery when encountering the Saouma wines: Magis, Mounir’s white Chateauneuf from the heavily limestone Pierredon vineyard in Bedarrides. It makes sense that a producer of great white Burgundy would quickly become enchanted by the possibilities here. Only 3% of Chateauneuf is white, and virtually all of it is bottled after 6 months. Mounir’s chateauneuf is aged 18-24 months and has already been compared to some of the great white Burgundy crus for its depth and minerality.

Wine Spectator - December 09, 2025 "A distinctive, singular style, with tangy, salty layers of apple and melon powered by succulent lemon-lime acidity. Silky and finessed, wafting with smoke and flint on the close."

94

Vinous - November 01, 2024 "The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Magis is a beauty. Tender jasmine, cedar, pear and pristine honeysuckle are all pushed forward. Full-bodied, concentrated and so complete, the 2022 is a gorgeously perfumed…

Roseblood d’Estoublon 1489 Roseblood Rosé 2024

May 31, 2026 - The name 1489 marks the year Château d’Estoublon was founded. This cuvée takes inspiration from the estate’s rose garden, where delicate blooms meet the intense Provençal sun. Made entirely from estate vineyards in AOP Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, it comes from 50-year-old vines growing atop a volcanic crater, shaped by the cooling Mistral wind. A blend of Grenache and Syrah delivers roundness, power, and complexity. Presented in a custom bottle adorned with a rose, 1489 is a true haute-couture expression of Provence.

Wine Spectator - August 11, 2025 "Shows impressive concentration and depth yet stays ethereal in form, with no heaviness to its notes of jasmine, white peach and crunchy orchard fruit. Details of blanched almond, chamomile and…

Wine Enthusiast - February 01, 2026 "Bright tart red fruit aromas—cherry and strawberry are given depth by stony minerality. The palate explodes with citrus flavors and hints of pear before the long white pepper finish."

Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection Rioja 2022

Rioja DOCa

May 28, 2026 - A wine destined to write some of the most beautiful pages of Rioja wine in the 21st century. It takes its name from one of the greatest architects of modern times and the creator of the emblematic Hotel Marqués de Riscal. From vineyards of over 80 years, the Frank Gehry Selección is a wine of pure hedonism. A wine to caress the senses. The second glass is better than the first, when it has had a chance to breathe and opens up to reveal the quantity of nuances it displays. When it is made, production is between 3,000-5,000 bottles.

James Suckling - July 28, 2025 "Aromas of blueberries, black currants, violets and spices. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and hints of cedar and spices. Long and flavorful finish."

94

Wine Spectator - May 26, 2026 "Floral and fragrant, with bright, fluid grace to the integration of its creamed cherry, mulberry and plum fruit. Offers fine, chalky tannins and appealing notes of candied violet, sweet tobacco,…

93

Vinous - April 06, 2026 "Freely interpreted, the 2022 Frank Gehry is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine with Tempranillo that presents intense red fruit on the nose, cherry foremost, alongside darker notes, spice and clear oak.…

Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 "A structured and cerebral expression of Rioja, the wine offers red and black berries nudged by vanilla over a background of tea leaf, rose, leather, and mineral tones. This warrants…
