The phenomenal 2020 Las Gravas was produced with 92% Monastrell from 30- to 40-year-old vines on north-facing gravel soils (hence its name) complemented with 8% Garnacha. It fermented with 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts... Read More
Attractive and fruity nose of red berries, plums and strawberries that follow through to a medium-bodied palate that’s full of crunch and firmness. Elegant, juicy and effortlessly drinkable now.
This has aromas of sliced apples, lemons, white pears, blanched almonds, yoghurt and chalk. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a round, creamy and layered palate. Excellent concentration and focus. Mineral finish. Semillon... Read More
The inverse blend of the Paulinette, the 2015 Costieres de Nimes Chateau Guiot Numa is 95% Syrah and 5% Grenache, from the estate's oldest vines. Toasty, mocha-scented oak frames dark fruit in this full-bodied, richly textured... Read More
Explosive and complex with a supple texture, this has a real wow factor. The nose is expressive and loaded with plum, black cherry, black tea, spice, and anise notes. The flavors are focused on dark red berries, spices, and leather... Read More
We've dug up an absolute gem in Champagne Decotanne, from the southern reaches of the Cote des Bar. Today's release is made up of 90% Pinot Noir, 5% Chardonnay, and 5% Petit Meunier. Base harvest is 2017, the wine was... Read More
There's a lot to love in a pure authentic and unadulterated expression of Sauvignon Blanc and this one nails it. It's clean on the palate with a great crushed rock, mineral note up front and great citrus tinged nose. Classic... Read More
If you're not drinking Gavi, the delightful white wine from Italy, what's your problem?! LOL. This wine is zesty and fresh, with precise fruit, and comes at a fraction of the price of most wines with this level of aromatics... Read More
The nose is quite reserved, showing some melon, pear and lavender. Then, on the palate, the expansion starts on a base of silky almond cream and builds up slowly and steadily through the long, long finish. Aftertaste of lemon... Read More
Ruchè is a beauty of an indigenous Piedmontese red variety, and we think this example from Ferraris is a must-try. An array of aromas to savor: roses, pepper, black cherries, and cinnamon. Lovely fresh acidity and a fine... Read More
I am very grateful that Malvirà decided to send me this back vintage, made 15 years ago, because understanding the aging trajectory of these samples is not easy. The 2005 Roero Riserva Trinità—preciously sent... Read More
A light shade of ruby in the glass, this single-vineyard expression pops on the nose with fresh Bing cherry, strawberry, curry leaf and carnation aromas. The palate is very zesty as well, with a taut texture that presents flavors... Read More
A hint of Mirabelle plum plays on the nose before becoming fully fledged on the medium-sweet palate. This flows with a stone fruit flavor that is always tempered by lemon freshness. It's smooth, rounded and fruit-driven, with... Read More
The aromas of this wine are very classic Napa Valley, seducing you with notes of dark black fruit, cedar and French oak. The deep purple color of the wine extends all the way to the rim of the glass and gives way to an explosive... Read More
Pale yellow color with wet rocks, dried white flowers, honey, and a subtle herbal note on the nose. Herbal in a pretty way that only Riesling can pull off. The palate has an oily richness, but no sweetness remains. The acidity... Read More
This blend of Vermentino, Chardonnay, and Trebbiano is just so lovely! Notes of white peach, honey, and spring flowers keep it fresh and quaffable. Great pairing for seafood!

A lovely, light Prosecco with notes of Rainier cherry, spring flowers, and lemonade on the palate and a long, aromatic finish. A perfect start to a meal! Serve this beauty extra cold.
Bernard Magrez's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. It is made in a much more restrained style than the wines of the past. There is plenty of natural Napa Valley richness, but not the heaviness that marked some earlier vintages.... Read More
