| #11 Aubert Chardonnay Russian River Valley Eastside 2019 “This sings with rich toastiness to the ripe, juicy and powerfully structured white fruit and cooking spice flavors that are backed by firm acidity. Buttery midpalate, with a glistening finish that shows accents of dried tropical fruits. Drink now through 2028.” - Kim Marcus 97 Points |
| #20 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2018 “Though ripe and lush, this is also dense, with pointed tannins giving a physical sensation and lifting the cherry, strawberry and floral flavors. Finds a nice youthful equilibrium in the end, where mouthwatering acidity roams. Best from 2023 through 2038.” - Bruce Sanderson 93 Points | Shelf Talker | Case Card | |
| #25 Wittmann Riesling Trocken Rheinhessen Westhofener 2019 “Peach, quince and citrus flavors mingle in this refreshing white, with accents of spice and slate. It's balanced and the stony element builds as this cruises to a lingering aftertaste. Complex and classy. Best from 2022 through 2033.”- Bruce Sanderson 94 Points |
| #29 Sparkman Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley Holler 2018 “Gutsy yet polished, with deeply structured blackberry, mocha espresso and dusky spice flavors that build tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2029.” - Tim Fish 93 Points |
| #51 Alois Lageder Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti Terra Alpina 2019 “Lively acidity and tangy salinity drive this creamy, light-bodied white, whose flavors of pineapple, apricot and lemon thyme show a zesty orange peel edge, followed by a lingering finish. Drink now.” - Bruce Sanderson 90 Points |
| #52 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Brothers Vineyard 2018 “This is ripe, warm in feel and very polished, with alluring cassis, plum reduction and melted black licorice notes pouring through, while sleek alder, loam and bay leaf accents form the backdrop for a long, steady finish. Gorgeous. Best from 2022 through 2038.” - James Molesworth 95 Points |
| #68 Etxaniz Txakolina Getariako Txakolina Rosado Txomin Etxaniz 2020 “A lively rosé, with a slight spritz to the cherry, sea salt and grapefruit flavors. Refreshing, with hints of wild herb and spice notes. Drink now."- Gillian Sciaretta 90 Points | Shelf Talker | Case Card | |
