Damn, this is good for the money. Extremely fresh and vibrant with singing aromatics and balanced structure. Red berry, crushed mint, new leather and underbrush aromas are front and center. Savory and juicy, the taut vibrant palate doles out succulent raspberry, tart red cherry and star anise alongside youthfully tense, polished tannins.

Remarkably sculpted for such a big wine, the Griffin's Lair possesses remarkable depth and intensity from start to finish. Dark red cherry, plum, rose petal and violets are given an extra kick of aromatic lift from the 60% whole clusters. The flavors are so vivid and pure. Still, readers should plan on giving the 2014 at least a few years in bottle.

A nice blend of the 3 grapes of Cava with 5% of Garnatxa Tinta which will give a beautiful pink color and add complexity to the wine.
Fresh, floral and ripened red fruits on the nose with a perfectly balanced, delicate, long and clean finish on the palate.
Recommended for aperitif or cimbined with pasta, blue fish or well-seasoned white meat.

This wine shows good concentration in color, flavor and texture. It is deep and dark, with ripe, jammy tones of blackberry and black cherry. Significant baking-spice elements add complexity, while fine-grained tannins add a thick texture.

aromas of dark berries, plums, and a hint of cracked peppercorn. The primary source for the Cabernet fruit is from the famed Beckstoffer Crimson Ridge Vineyard. This vineyard is known for its volcanic soils and has a western facing orientation, which provides the wine with amazing structure and depth due to its extended hang time.

From one of the oldest, most iconic estates in the U.S. From a low-yielding, 7 acre parcel of the estate vineyard, this glorious wine represents more than 100 years of commitment to Pinot Noir in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Vibrant, medium- bodied, and Burgundian in style, the wine can be cellared or enjoyed now.

Dry and crisp with hints of strawberries and melon. A great warm weather aperitif and also goes well with lighter pasta dishes and salads.

This brawny , old-school wine offers potent aromas of tobacco, black0cherrt and black-currant flavors that are nicely concentrated. Fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity give it great structure for drinking through at least 2025.

A vibrant, absolutely immaculate Pinot Noir, this red Sancerre is focused on bright cherry fruit, rose petals, and hints of minerals and earth. For the Varennes du Clos rouge, the parcels come from warmer districts of Sancerre, but still with marginal sites: shallow topsoil over deep limestone/schist beds.

Chais Saint Laurent is a “Petit Négociant” specializing in wines from the Loire Valley and focused on producing small quantities from select vineyards. This is a pure expression of Pinot Noir, light and delicate cherry fruit with bright acidity.

This generous red delivers rich flavors of blackberry, currant, toast and mineral, which are harmonious over the well-integrated tannins, showing firm acidity for balance and a long finish of spice and smoke. Not showy, but deep and alluring. Drink now through 2030.

It brings notes of ripe plums to the nose, along with subtle spicy hints and black olives. The wood integrates itself harmoniously, contributing a touch of bitter chocolate and vanilla. In the mouth it is well rounded, with a typical aftertaste and long finish. A memorable wine.

A rich and unctuous Mencia, this has a fluency in the mouth, deploying its ripeness, completely covering the palate with caramelized and voluptuous flavors.
