2022 Talley - Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard Central Coast (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2022 Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard is another Arroyo Grande release that saw 14 months in 30% new French oak. It's a slightly more savory, masculine styled effort that has both citrus and stone fruits, lots of crushed stone minerality, honeyed white ...
2022 Talley - Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard Central Coast (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2022 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is the most mineral-laced and savory, with savory raspberries, dried strawberries, crushed stone, and floral, spicy aromas and flavors. Brought up in 39% new barrels, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, graceful...
2023 Talley - Chardonnay Central Coast Estate (PRE ARRIVAL)
2022 Talley - Pinot Noir Central Coast Estate(PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is more spicy and complex, with savory redcurrant and cherry fruit as well as lots of spice, dried herbs, and underbrush nuances. It's balanced, medium-bodied, has fine tannins, and a beautiful finish.
2023 Marc Colin - St. Aubin Les Combes (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Combes 1er Cru has a backward nose that demands coaxing from the glass. Wet pavement and almost flinty aromas percolate through the apple fruit tones. The palate is fresh, vibrant and quite sapid, with superb acidity, a twist o...
2023 Marc Colin - Chassagne Montrachet Cuvee Margot (Pre Arrival)
2023 Marc Colin - St. Aubin Castets (PRE ARRIVAL)
he 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Castets 1er Cru comes from two south-facing parcels of younger vines, usually the first harvested in the appellation. It is a little richer on the nose than the domain's other cuvées, with hints of tropical fruit initially, alth...
2022 Azelia - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC (750ml)
Cherry, strawberry, anise, menthol and mineral flavors are the highlights of this sleek red. Firms up on the finish, where all the elements echo. Drink now through 2029. 800 cases made, 270 cases imported.
2021 Mariotto - Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso Pitasso (750ml)
2023 Tolpuddle Vineyard - Pinot Noir Coal River Valley (750ml)
This wine was recently shown by a respected Clare Valley winemaker at an options game, and it looked superb. It's so clearly like Tasmanian Pinot Noir fruit but powerful, balanced and sapid in its execution of flavor delivery. It's saturated, in fact. Whe...

2020 Allegrini - Veronese Rosso IGT La Grola (750ml)
An elegant red, with fine tannins seamlessly meshed with the ripe black and red cherry flavors. Accents of cured tobacco, rose hip, cocoa powder and anise wind through the fruit profile, and a subtle, minerally streak of fresh earth and iron lingers on th...
2023 Beaucastel - Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Roussanne VV PRE ARRIVAL (750ml)
There are roughly 600 cases of the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, a 100% Roussanne from very old vines brought up 50% new oak and 50% once-used. It too is flat-out awesome, with honeyed quince, green almond, white flowers, orange liqu...
2023 Beaucastel - Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc PRE ARRIVAL (750ml)
Rocking stuff, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc boasts a vivid gold hue to go with a killer nose of honeyed stone fruits, toasted almonds, flower oil, and caramelized orange. It's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, has a supple, seamless mouthfeel, an...
2023 Beaucastel - Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel PRE ARRIVAL (750ml)
A blend of four varieties, 30% each of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, with 10% Cinsault, the 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Coudoulet De Beaucastel should easily be an outstanding wine, and readers could do far worse than to have a case of this in the cellar. Black...
2023 Beaucastel - Chateauneuf du Pape (PRE ARRIVAL)
I was able to taste multiple components of the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape, all of which rated between 93-96 points. It has the purity, medium to full-bodied richness, and ripe, yet still fresh and lively style of the vintage and brings plenty of mid-palate ...
2020 Barboursville Vineyards - Octagon (750ml)
This refined, elegant and intricate wine is driven by lively acidity and trim tannins. Expansive red fruit and mahogany aromas lead to tangy but satisfying raspberries, black cherries and white pepper on the palate. Well-balanced for drinking now and beyo...
2023 Barboursville Vineyards - Vermentino (750ml)
Scented nose with some fresh oranges, lemongrass, minerals and dried herbs. Medium-bodied and textured, with fresh acidity and a dry, linear, pure, medium-length finish. A well-made vermentino that drinks very well now.
2021 Jim Barry Shiraz Clare Valley Lodge Hill (750ml)
Explosive mulberry fruit is married to a medium body and full vibrant tannins in this compact and energetic Clare Valley Shiraz. Slight sappiness at the long, very fresh finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
2023 Tolpuddle Vineyard - Chardonnay Coal River Valley (750ml)
The 2023 Chardonnay is precise and firm, with salty fruit and a spool of tense acidity that spirals through the finish. It's very long and very good, although raw at this inchoate stage of its development. I love this wine each year. The saline thread of ...
2019 Michel Gahier - Chardonnay (Melon) Arbois La Fauquette
2020 Torremilanos - Cyclo (750ml)
The 2020 Cyclo feels quite different from the 2019 I tasted next to it. It comes from three plots of old vines that have a majority of Tempranillo and some 10% other traditional varieties that are intermixed in the field in the old vineyards. This is perf...
2016 Porseleinberg- Swartland Syrah (750ml)
The 2016 Syrah was "a hell of a challenge," according to winemaker Callie Louw, but he produced an absolutely stunning wine, despite the parched vines suering half the amount of rainfall. The wine was matured in 70% foudres and 30% concrete eggs. This ...
2020 Boekenhoutskloof - Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)
The 2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, composed of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, presents a firmer and more generous profile on both the nose and palate compared to its Franschhoek counterpart. With a dusty yet assertive nose, it's mark...
2023 Hamilton Russell - Pinot Noir (750ml)
The 2023 Pinot Noir matured in one-third new French oak for 14 months. It has a fresh and perfumed bouquet, perhaps one of the most oral and potpourri-like that I have encountered in recent years. You could almost mistake this for a Grenache. Fresh and...
