Lower ABV There’s a reason Montepulciano is Italy’s second-most planted grape (after Sangiovese and just ahead of Barbera). It makes a terrific all-purpose red, a wine showing plenty of dark plum and black cherry fruit... Read More
Vines were already planted here in 1466 when Jehan de Las Symas purchased them from a neighbor based in Saint Emilion (just a few miles away). Today Jean de Boigne continues his family's 160+ year stewardship of the grapes... Read More
A really delicious second wine from this top St. Emilion estate, with rich blackcurrant and chocolate flavors at the core and stylish accents of cedar and graphite. The plush mouthfeel doesn’t overwhelm the minerality and... Read More
We’ll admit a bias first: we’re not huge fans of New World Cabernet Franc and haven’t encountered many convincing examples from South America to date. Seeing this one from Argentina and with 4+ years in bottle... Read More
Can’t tell you which vineyards contributed grapes, how they were farmed, exactly how much Cabernet is in the bottle (although, by law, it’s at least 75%), what kind of fermentation yeast were used or how it was aged... Read More
About 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the second wine of Clos du Marquis delivers a lovely sense of depth and richness to go with a fine, firm, structured spine. Decant now or cellar through 2035.
Going a bit old-school here in a Malbec that has plenty of lush fruit framed by spicy oak (1/3 new). The high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza's Uco Valley brought this to perfect ripeness. A big mouthful of wine for beef and... Read More
Organic/Bio Cheverny is the Loire Valley’s forgotten appellation, known (if at all) for Sauvignon/Chardonnay whites that offer excellent value alternatives to Sancerre. But there’s a little red wine from Pinot Noir... Read More

It's always a treat to get our hands on Willamette Valley Pinot that's all the way ready to drink - even better when the wine is as good as this! At five years from harvest, there's a nicely earthy tone to the ripe... Read More
Terrific Dundee Hills Pinot Noir that matches the earthy richness you expect from these volcanic Jory soils with remarkable freshness and verve. First rate stuff.
766 bottles (63 cases) made. “Quasi Centenaria” roughly translates to “about 100 years old,” a reference to this gnarly old Carignan vineyard planted right around 1919. The vines grow on two steep, rock-covered,... Read More
1,453 bottles (121 cases) made. We’ve sold every commercial release of this wine, starting with the 2011 which remains my personal benchmark for the greatest young red wine I’ve ever tasted. Until now. Somehow, Silvia... Read More
More pretty than powerful in 2018, and better for it! Give it an hour or two of air tonight for the perfume to really come up and do hold some for 10 years or so and let it really unfurl.
