- Domaine De La Vougeraie Charlemagne Grand Cru 2019$275.00
The destiny of this vineyard, a gift from the emperor Charlemagne to the Canons of the Collegiate of Saint-Andoche at Saulieu, in 775, was truly exceptional in that it remained in the hands of this religious community for over 1000 years. Chardonnay reigns supreme. On its journey across the palate it is elevated and accomplished, with body and bouquet melting together superbly. Smooth and dry, firm yet gentle, deep and structured, this is a wine of undeniable character and grace.
- 2018 The Setting Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville$89.95
The Wine Advocate went wild for this new Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, calling it “finessed with a velvety texture and minerally sparks.” It’s pure and finessed with violets, blue fruit, graphite, and a touch of graphite and dark cocoa nibs. The palate is full of texture and finishes long and luscious. You will taste this wine and not be able to put down the glass.

- 2020 Mayacamas Chardonnay Mount Veeder$54.95
“Made from decades-old dry-farmed vines planted to the Wente clone in rocky, volcanic soils, this is a stunning wine, flinty, fleshy and expansive, with undeniable minerality. Lemon zest, meringue and pear contrast against persistent acidity and a lasting briny tone that lifts the palate further.”

- 2017 Depiction Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena$1,775.00
The bouquet on this 2017 is truly stunning; it’s ripe yet fresh and savory. Aromas of barrel spice, mineral tones, and crunchy berries flow off the rim. The body is dark with cherry notes, tobacco leaves, and a line of acidity throughout. The tannins are tightly knit and show longevity in the wine. Enjoy now, or hold for 15+ years. The artistic approach to this wine is beautiful, and the winemaking is on-point. Small production yields small allocations. Jump on this one quick.

- Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021$135.00
Always A Rated By Top Critics
5 Stars The Oakville Wine Merchant
The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is lifted with cedar, red cherry, and pine. The palate fills with grenadine and orange peel, soft, stony earth, and a silky texture. Drink over the next 7-8 years.
Founded by Dan Kosta and Michael Browne in 2001, today Kosta Browne is a part of the Duckhorn portfolio of wines. Winemaker Julien Howsepian, who has taken over from Nico Cueva, has been involved with the winery since 2012, when he had worked a harvest and subsequently became a full-time member of the team, working alongside Michael and Nico. Though the wines are still expressive of a full style, there has been some dialing back on ripeness over the past several years. Their reach has expanded in terms of regionality, but they continue to work exclusively with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

- Jean Claude Boisset Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2018$110.00
TASTING NOTES
With a beautiful ruby color, this wine surprises with its first intense nose of violets. It then reveals intense aromas of red berries and pepper. On the palate, it is very fresh in attack, a juicy wine with a very good length.
ORIGIN
Contrary to its name, “Les Santenots” is not located in the village of Volnay, but in Meursault, just to the south. Though best known for its white wines, certain terroirs, such as Les Santenots, located mid-hill, happen to be better adapted to bringing out all the finesse the Pinot Noir grape has to offer.
Several hypotheses exist concerning the name of this locality: "Santenots" may come from the Latin SENTES "brambles, thorny bushes". It may also be derived, as was the name of the village of Santenay, from the Gaulish SENTU "way" (alluding to the roads that passed through there to link Auxey-Duresses with the Roman road). It could also refer to 2 “ouvrées” (=1/12 hectare) of vines in La Sautenot (that could have been located in the Les Santenots area), that the Abbess of the Tart Abbey gave to the Abbey of Cîteaux in 1218. - Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019$325.00

- Jean Claude Boisset Beaune 1er Cru Les Avaux 2019$90.00
TASTING NOTES
This wine has an intense ruby color. It offers a palette of complex aromas: red fruits and fresh black fruits, some spicy and tobacco notes. The tannins are fine on the palate. This wine is fresh and well structured.
ORIGIN
The vineyards of Beaune are unique in that out of approximately 400 ha of vines under production, over 300 ha are classified as Premier Cru. The appellation is divided into two parts, north and south, which are separated by a division marked by the road that goes from Beaune up to Bouze-Lès-Beaune.
'Les Avaux' is located on the gentle slope of La Montagne, below Champ Pimont.
This name can be compared to downstream and then means that this plot is on the "lower part of a valley".
The grapes selected from this cuvée are certified Ecocert. - Shafer Hillside Select Signed Bottles 2018$445.00

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is another perfect wine, although readers will need to have patience, as it’s still a baby. Deep purple-hued with a perfumed, vibrant bouquet of blue fruits, graphite, spring flowers, and lead pencil, it’s full-bodied, sensationally concentrated, has perfectly integrated acidity, tannin, and alcohol, not a hard edge to be found, and an incredible finish. This monumental Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is 7-8 years away from maturity and will have 40-50 years of overall longevity.
