One of the most consistently excellent wines in the Southern Rhone, in 2020 this soars to new heights. The balanced, soft, feel makes this too easy to drink now, but it will improve for 15 years with ease.
The combination of freshness and richness here is compelling. Feels dense/deep in your mouth and delivers more than enough fruit before finishing easy and a little juicy. Great value.
This is terrific, with dark, plummy, fruit and mocha notes building through a firm, dry, finish. Ready to go with lamb or beef roast now and just getting better with air or time in cellar. High-impact Tempranillo.
Lower ABV Absurdly delicious cool-climate, California, Syrah that delivers layers of savory complexity, whole cluster (50%) grip, and still has enough fruit to just drink sexy. Double 95 point reviews for the 2019 will be repreated... Read More
From the cooler vineyards of Eden Valley, this marries bold black fruit and savory, earthy, complexity with fresh feel and long, supple, finish. At this ripeness level (13.9%), Syrah has a bit in common with Tempranillo, including... Read More

Here's a nicely rich and darkly fruited cookout/casual food red at a bargain price. Lots of blue/black fruit, a touch of ink and good grip to the earth-and-fruit finish.
Just marvelous, this is the essence of what white Rioja should be. Elegant, pure, with just enough oak to add spice and texture while still letting the glorious fruit shine through. White Rioja for Burgundy drinkers, ready now... Read More
