Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018
Champagne
September 16, 2026 - La Grande Année Rosé is produced only in select vintages, born from Lily Bollinger’s one condition—that any Bollinger rosé must be extraordinary. It is a subtle blend of La Grande Année and a small percentage of red wine from La Côte Aux Enfants, a Grand Cru vineyard in Aÿ used only when Pinot Noir reaches perfect ripeness. Producing red wine of this quality in Champagne is rare, and it showcases the House’s mastery of Pinot Noir. With deep color, balanced aromas, and refined vinosity, La Grande Année Rosé reflects its terroir, with remarkable aging potential.
Wine Spectator - September 02, 2026 "Like a prima ballerina, this is all about grace married to precision and fine definition. An expressive core of pureed raspberry, poached apricot, blood orange gelée and toast point is…
James Suckling - "A whiff of black pepper opens the aromas of toasted brioche, roasted almonds and delicate peonies. Medium-bodied with intense flavors of fresh strawberries, red fruit sorbet and wafer cookies. Delicious…
Champagne Ayala Brut Nature
Champagne
September 16, 2026 - Ayala’s Brut Nature is a zero-dosage Champagne that is aged for nearly four years. It reveals elegant complexity, with extended autolysis highlighting the exceptional quality of grapes from Champagne’s best crus. The blend features primarily Chardonnay, with Pinot Noir and a touch of Pinot Meunier for balance. Its bright gold color leads to a fine nose of citrus and subtle saline notes. On the palate, it is clean and complex, offering dry mineral flavors and vibrant grapefruit and white fruit, all while maintaining freshness and tension.
Wine Spectator - September 26, 2024
James Suckling - August 15, 2024 "A well-rounded, balanced and seductive brut-nature blend of 55%Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier. On the nose it shows aromas of sliced apples, pears and cinnamon. Round and juicy with…
Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2024
Bolgheri
September 16, 2026 - Bolgheri Rosso is a refined, irresistible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, serving as an introduction to the estate. The wine is, frankly, almost too good at the price. All the intensive artisanal work that Le Macchiole carries out in its vineyards and cellars benefits this wine, and despite more availability than its Paleo Rosso, Messorio and Scrio siblings, it sells out nearly as quickly. Bolgheri Rossi is also the youngest of Le Macchiole’s wines, first produced in 2004. The objective: to make a Bordeaux blend, but typical of Bolgheri.
Wine Spectator - October 31, 2026 "Plum, blackberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors ply the fluid texture of this lively red. Well-structured, showing both vivid acidity and dense tannins, yet everything is in balance, with a…
James Suckling - May 27, 2026 "Fresh and perfumed, showing roses, bramble fruit, horseradish and a touch of balsamic. Silky, supple and medium-bodied, with tension and firm structure."
Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Marlborough
September 16, 2026 - Dog Point’s Sauvignon Blanc takes a category of wine and completely transcends it, with an intensity, depth and energy that so obviously sets it apart from the first encounter. When they decided to make a pure stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc, Dog Point pushed to the ultimate every process to produce top quality, distinctive wine. They hand-pick fruit at low yields, green harvest at times, and ferment partially with indigenous yeasts. This wine helped make Dog Point a key advocate of premium wine production in New Zealand, and for New Zealand across the world.
Wine Advocate - June 11, 2026 "The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is textural and salty, savory and complex. I love this wine for its tether to place, but its elevation beyond it. It isn't overt in its…
Wine Spectator - April 29, 2026 "Complex and highly detailed, with notes of honeysuckle and lemon oil, plus touches of saline and grilled Meyer lemon. Yuzu, pomelo and citron flavors, along with lemongrass and fresh ginger,…
Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja D.O.Ca. 2019
Rioja Gran Reserva DOCa
September 15, 2026 - Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine which is only made in excellent vintages, originally created to mark the bodega’s 150th anniversary, as well as the history and winemaking traditions of the Rioja Alavesa.

These are generally venerable, low yielding vines which produce some of the highest quality fruit of the harvest. 150 Aniversario combines modernity and tradition; it is the ultimate and most genuine expression of the Rioja Alavesa.
James Suckling - July 28, 2025 "The focus and length to this are impressive, with firm, racy, polished tannins and a long and caressing finish of cedar, almonds and light chocolate. Medium-bodied with dark fruit. A…
Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 "A steakhouse wine if there ever was one. Muscular, flavor-packed, and brimming with cherry pie, baked fig, cassis, and baking chocolate. There's plenty of savory counterpoint as well, with licorice…
Wine Spectator - July 20, 2026 "A harmonious red that nonetheless shows muscle, wrapping sculpted tannins in a creamy range of baked black cherry and plum sauce flavors, with sweet tobacco, vanilla and blood orange peel…
