2015 Chateau Faizeau Montagne St. Emilion

"The wine has been in barrel since before Christmas and so has now had plenty of time to settle down. It still has that black fleshy liquorice-flavoured fruit , but now those warm, rather Rhôney, slightly overripe tones of the past have been replaced by more vibrant, fresher notes. " Rated 93 Points by Wine Enthusiast. Information provided by Wine.com

2015 CVNE Vina Real Crianza

"This wine shows shades of medium to deep shiny cherry color. To the nose, intense aromas of ripe fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants) stand out, complemented with subtle hints of oak, vanilla and spices aromas. On the palate, it shows structured and round with a good integration of fruitiness and oakiness. The aftertaste is marked by very well balanced tannins as well as by persistent spicy, toasty and balsamic aromas. A long stay in bottle is the finishing touch to this Rioja Alavesa wine's character." Rated 92 Points by James Suckling. Information provided by Wine.com

2016 Paul Dolan Vineyards Zinfandel

"This Zinfandel is a lively, concentrated wine tasting of blackberry jam, orange marmalade and a dashing accent of cracked black pepper." Rated 91 Points by Wine & Spirits. Information provided by Wine.com

2014 Chateau German

"Intense color, ruby reflections, shiny. Black fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry aromas with toasted notes. Authenticity of the terroir through the tannic structure and fruitiness of the wine. The nature of the sandy-gravelly soil acts as a flavor enhancer and is found in the minerality of this wine." Rated 90 Points by Wine Enthusiast. Information provided by Wine.com

2014 Chateau Mayne Vieil Cuvee Alienor

"Chateau Mayne-Vieil Cuvee Alienor is a selection of old Merlot vines planted on clay and gravel. The vineyard is grassed - without leaves on one side - and green-harvested. While decreasing yields, this method provides better ventilation for the grapes." Rated 92 Points by Wine Enthusiast. Information provided by Wine.com

2014 Clarendelle Inspired by Haut-Brion

"A deep color and a soft bouquet of liquorice and blackcurrant. The wine has violet and slightly toasty nuances on the palate. The texture is velvety and the flavor altogether powerful and elegant. There is a wonderful refined balance between high-quality tannin, concentration, tension, and freshness. A lovely vintage for Clarendelle! " Rated 90 Points by James Suckling.

2016 Moniker La Ribera Vineyard Chardonnay

"An elegant Chardonnay that forgoes malolactic fermentation in order to showcase the signature Mendocino County taste profile. Firm pear and apple fruit flavors are balanced with luminous minerality and a subtle framing of creamy vanilla toast." Rated 90 Points by Wine Enthusiast. Information provided by Wine.com

2017 Cedar + Salmon Willamette Valley Pinot Gris

"Our 2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is perfumed with stone fruit aromas like nectarine, peach, and apricot. A touch of lime oil adds to the alluring aromas. This wine is crisp on the palate with hints of lemon rind and then opens up to a lovely mix of exotic fruits like kiwi fruit, mango, and guava. The finish is crisp, dry and refreshing." Rated 91 Points by Wilfred Wong. Information provided by Wine.com

2017 Chateau Reynon Blanc

"The soil quality, moderate production, fine wine-making process makes it possible to obtain an elegant dry white wine, at once complex and tasty with grapefruit and white peach aromas, with mineral and smoky hints, with a remarkable aging potential in bottle over several years." Rated 93 Points by Wine Spectator. Information provided by Wine.com
