Rich and creamy Russian River Chardonnay with spiced pear fruit and juicy accents of fresh butter and cream. Hard to resist for fans of more full-bodied Chardonnay!
In this very short harvest, there's a little more oak influence to Sylvain's village Puligny (not more new wood, but more second and third use barrels that needed to be kept full!). It just makes this lovely Chardonnay... Read More
In a cooler vintage, this Chateauneuf classic still packs in plendy of rich, generous, red and black fruit to go with the savory garigue accents. Hard to resist now but improving for 10 years easily.
Organic/Bio A stunning, bone dry, Riesling from the lower slopes of the Grand Cru Schlossberg honoring current owner Catherine Faller’s mother. Like Colette herself (at least the day I met her), this wine is both vigorous... Read More

Ken Wright has owned Canary Hill Vyd in the Eola Hills since 2006 and keeps almost all of it for himself. In 2019 and 2021, though, he allocated a little fruit to Kelley, just enough to make 151 cases of pure joy. It's a dark-fruited,... Read More

From arguably the finest red wine site in Chassagne and, unusually, from above the village where most 1er Cru sites feature Chardonnay instead of Pinot. Here the flatter terrain and walls of the clos have kept enough clay for... Read More
