Lágrimas Rioja Graciano

This blew me away on the first sip - dark fruits, elegant, balanced, not too much oak, full-bodied and smooth, at $19 this is an amazing value. Excellent with cheese and chacuterie but could easily pair with a main (red meat) as well. — 2 days ago

Raul Pérez

La Del Vivo Bierzo White Blend 2021

Stunning. Delicious. One of my fav wines of the last 1.5 years. Godello aged under flor that competes with white Burgundy/ Sonoma Coast chards that cost double. Sourced from two tiny plots of 80-100 yr old vines. 80% old foudre, 20% amphora under flor, no malo, no stirring. Sunny bouquet, honeycomb, Asian pear, gun flint, crushed stone, brisk, seamless, cool and classy. $55. — 2 years ago

Jean-Claude Ramonet

Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2020

Amazing vintage for Ramonet. 2020 Ruchottes, one of the absolute best plots in the region, is simply stunning tonight, with incredible richness, density and texture. It’s powerful, focused and already particularly complex flaunting layers of lilies, citrus blossoms and signature Ramonet spearmint freshness. Finish just stays with you. So good! — 11 days ago

Weingut Geheimer Rat Dr. Von Bassermann-Jordan

Deidesheimer Kalkofen Großes Gewächs Riesling 2020

Zingy lemon acidity...perhaps too much acidity for me. Not one of my favourite plots but still a good wine — 2 years ago

Bodega Marañones

Marañones Garnacha 2020

A step up from their village wine 30,000 Maravedies. 100% Garnacha from old vines from three different plots on mostly granite soils. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Less floral, more concentrated than 30.000 Maravedies. Quite serious. — 3 years ago

La Petite Eglise

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2024

90 M 10 CS
5.000 bottles produced from the two plots (one nxt to the church and the other in front of Lafleur Petrus).
Takes some coxing to open up on the nose. Fragrant and deep, nice body on the mouth. Strict and fine on the mouth covering a beautiful world that will be revealed with time.. 93+

Marqués de Murrieta

Reserva Finca Ygay Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2017

Blend of 83% Tempranillo, 9% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo (Cariñena) and 2% Garnacha, grapes and various plots fermented separately, aged for 20 months in American oak, then blended. Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits and floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with notes of leather, vanilla and oaky notes. Fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity ending with fruit, sweet oak and spice. Nice! — 2 years ago

Truchard

Reserve Carneros Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon selection from different steep, southwest-facing hillside plots from the 400-acre Truchard Estate Vineyard. A beautiful restrained Cab featuring cassis, dark chocolate, cedar wood, graphite, and some smokiness. Very fresh, with layers of juicy black fruits, a tight backbone of ripe tannin, and a very long mineral finish. Abv. 14,2%. This should age beautifully for at least 15 years .Very reasonably priced by Napa standards at 125 USD. 168 cases produced. — 2 years ago
