Pinot Noir . California, United States
Deep ruby in colour, the nose displays ripe cherry, black berry and plum with additional notes of cranberry, leather, cedar and cloves. The palate releases a beautiful mix of flavours such as strawberry jam, ripe raspberry, gingerbread and caramel perfectly mingled with toast and cigar. The mouth feel is almost full bodied with good levels of tannin balanced perfectly with acid and alcohol. This is a beautifully complex wine with many layers – a top quality Pinot that is a joy to drink. The finish is long and persistent with just a hint of raspberry and cinnamon at the end

JD 95 JS 94 8W 95
Zinfandel . California, United States
Ridge Vineyards has been making the East Bench Zinfandel since 2006 with fruit sourced from a single vineyard site perched atop a bench land overlooking Dry Creek Valley. Each of the seven plots in the vineyard is vinified separately and then assessed with a blind tasting before the final blend is decided. The wine is then aged in American oak barrels for 12 months to harmonise the constituent elements and add subtle spiced notes. On the nose there are hints of caramel, baking spice and intense dark plum while the first sip reveals a rich full body, smooth texture, and well-developed structure. This is a well-built red which will age gracefully over the next decade and can also be enjoyed now

Bread & Butter
Bread & Butter Chardonnay 2019

8W 91
Chardonnay . California, United States
The Bread & Butter brand is best known for this lusciously creamy Chardonnay which epitomises the classic oaky California style. The “Bread” in their name refers to their frequent use of oak barrels ageing while the “Butter” refers to the use of malolactic fermentation which creates that enticing buttery character in their delicious Chardonnays. An explosion of ripe tropical fruit, toasted almonds and hints of sandalwood define the nose while the first sip reveals a powerful full body and soft, creamy texture. The oak ageing and fermentation has added seductive hints of brioche, fresh pastries and rich vanilla spice to the wine as well as a firm structure

Orin Swift Abstract 2019

AVG
8W 93 RP 91
California Red Blends . California, United States
Like a beautiful abstract collage combines many different images into one, “Abstract” combines wines from 150 different specific plots of land and harmoniously balances them together. The first aromas include ripe black plums and Luxardo cherries. After a swirl in the glass further notes of caramel, coffee and mocha subtly slide forward. When tasting, the berry forward quality of the Grenache is balanced generously by the dusty and soft tannins. Drink with spicier beef dishes or cured pork like Jamon Iberico. Since the varietals all derive from Southern France, consider the classic Provencial Beef Daube as a perfect pairing

Domaine de la Cote
Domaine de la Cote Memorious Pinot Noir 2015
94
AVG
RP 94 8W 95
Pinot Noir . California, United States
This single vineyard wine comes from the estate’s Memorious plot which is perched above the Santa Ynez River, bending round the hillside towards the Pacific Ocean and its cooling fogs and breezes. The vineyard was planted with experimental Pinot Noir seedlings in 2007 on heavy clay and alluvial soils. From this unique plot Raj and Sashi make just 270 cases per year of their Memorious Pinot, fermenting the fruit with wild yeasts in concrete tanks and ageing the young wine in French oak barrels for 14 months. The result is an elegant and sophisticated Burgundian-style Pinot that skilfully combines vibrant crushed cherry and red berry notes with graceful notes of woodsmoke, dried tea leaves, forest floor, and spice. The complex flavour profile and refined tannins make this a great wine to cellar for a little while longer, or to enjoy now with game

AVG
8W 94 WS 92 WE 95
Sparkling Wine .  California, United States
Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé is a wine of great balance, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than evident in the Brut or Le Reve. It is made strictly with artisan attention to quality, with sourcing exclusively from Carneros and the use of time-honored Champenoise methods of production. A blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, the Brut Rosé is meant to be enjoyed at a fairly young age when the fruity character is still predominant yet there is enough age to make the wine round and balanced. The wine's aroma has hints of wild strawberries and roses with notes of peach Although a pale pink in color, Brut Rosé is not sweeter than their other wines

Chardonnay . California, United States
This vintage of Shafer's Chardonnay bursts from the glass with oak-laced apple pie, peach preserves and ripe pineapple scents plus hints of allspice, candied ginger and praline. The palate has a gorgeous satiny texture and loads of stone fruit and tropical fruit layers, finishing on a lingering spicy note. This robust, full-bodied white holds its weight and pedigree remarkably well, offering an intensely flavored, richly layered experience that seamlessly provides freshness along the way

689 Cellars
689 Cellars Submission Chardonnay 2019

AVG
8W 90
Chardonnay . California, United States
The creators of 689 Cellars chose the name after visiting Asia and experiencing Chinese culture where certain numbers are considered to have special lucky or auspicious characteristics. These lucky numbers certainly seem to have helped 689 Cellars create some truly delicious wines like this Chardonnay. Fruit for this cuvee is selected from top quality plots in Sonoma's Russian River Valley, and Napa's Carmeros and Monterey County sub-regions where conditions are ideal for growing elegant and refined Chardonnay. Once in the winery the grapes are carefully sorted and vinified with the young wine ageing in French oak barrels for 8 months before bottling. This helps to add a rich, creamy texture and seductive hints of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak to the intense tropical and stone fruit notes from the Chardonnay grapes

Rodney Strong
Rodney Strong Alexander Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

AVG
DC 95 8W 93
Cabernet Sauvignon . California, United States
This powerful Cabernet is crafted from top quality fruit from hillside vineyards in Alexander Valley which Rodney Strong identified as the ideal terroir for the variety as early as 1971. The combination of elevation and gentle slopes helps to craft richly-fruited wines with plenty of freshness and a distinctive aromatic character. On the nose there are enticing notes of crushed dark berries, cherries and forest floor notes while the palate offers a full body, firm tannins and elegant structure. The wine ages in oak barrels for 18 months which adds subtle toasted notes and extra complexity. While very approachable now, this Cabernet will age well in the cellar over the next six to eight years

Chateau Ste Michelle
Tenet The Pundit Syrah 2018

AVG
8W 92 JS 93 WE 92 JD 92
Syrah . Washington, United States
Tenet Wine Company looks at Syrah differently than other winemakers do. To find the best of both the Old World and the New World, the winemaker embraces the fruit forward quality of the grapes grown in the area, but looks to traditional Southern France varietals to round out the wine. Some try to move away from the bramble that can come from stems, but the winemaker feels that the savory element that comes from this method is actually a perfect balance to Syrah in particular. In the glass, the wine shows dark purple and ruby hues. The nose features strong blueberry jam notes with undertones of a brambly and meaty quality. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky with the blueberry coming forward to start, followed by tobacco and gamey subtleties

RP 93 8W 94
Cabernet Sauvignon . California, United States
The DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is made with top quality grapes sourced from the brothers’ vineyards which sit at 2200 feet of altitude. This elevation helps to preserve balancing freshness in the finished wines as well as ensuring the development of intense, concentrated flavours and aromas. Following the fermentation process the wine is aged in 80% new French oak barrels for 18 months to allow the wine to mature and add extra complexity. This stunning wine opens with cassis, blackberry and dark cherry aromas along with hints of sweet spice and dark chocolate. The first sip reveals complex layers of flavour which slowly unfold in the mouth, moving from crushed ripe berries and currant jam to deep herbal and earthy tones. On the palate there is a smooth mouthfeel, well-defined structure and firm tannins which will soften with a few years of cellaring

Hope Family Wines
Troublemaker Red Blend 13
91
AVG
8W 91 WE 90
Other Red Blends . California, United States
A powerful, elegant blend that is characteristically Paso yet Rhone inspired. Troublemaker’s multi-vintage, multi-varietal approach--from sustainably grown grapes, no less--brings the craftsmanship behind the wine onto centre stage. Lively aromas of red cherry and black licorice with well-constructed hints of vanilla, nutmeg and tobacco melt into a complex bouquet with a floral top note that connotes the interwoven depth of artisan cured meats. Flavours of fresh, red berries underscored with subtle notes of dark chocolate, pepper, anise and tanned leather. This wine carries impressive depth and intensity, and is clearly the well-structured results of a thoughtful, bold approach to winemaking. Tannins are chewy and remarkably present, and the subtle, yet nuanced acidity balances the wine and allows the complexity of the varietals and vintages to burst with persistence. Superb drinkability for a wine that is both multi-faceted and sleek
