Bright and zingy, with a fun, slightly tinny edge that adds to its character. The finish is satisfying, like cotton candy, though the acidity is somewhat piercing.

Realm The Tempest 2022

Strikes a compelling balance between power and polish, with plush, spicy tannins that coat the palate and lend a serious, structured feel reminiscent of standout vintages of Troplong Mondot.

Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Katharine Lindsay 2022

High-toned and elegant, with a classic style that’s both floral and vibrant. Bright strawberry and apple skin come through with grace, creating a refined, pretty profile. The nose is a beautiful blend of violets, rose, red cherry, and raspberry, with a delicate touch of confectionary sweetness. Higher-toned fruit, dried strawberry, white mushroom, and a hint...

Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Cerise 2020

Flashy and fun to drink, with a bright red fruit core of cherry and raspberry wrapped in a delightfully balanced caramel cream finish. Hints of root beer and dried meat add intrigue, while subtle herbal notes lend complexity. A little rustic, but the ripe fruit and charm make it a big crowd pleaser. Very impressive.

Another big winner (over-delivers!) from Napa’s celebrated 2021 vintage! We savored this sensational upcoming release and highly recommend for enjoyment – – with prime rib – – tonight (after decanting 30 minutes) and/or anytime over the next 7-8 years thanks to the silky smooth and rich texture which features grainy tannins, tangy baking spices (primarily...

HdV Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard 2021

A beautifully composed Chardonnay that showcases vibrant energy and precision. It balances ripe tropical notes of pineapple, papaya, and a touch of muskiness with tart green apple acidity and a signature saline-mineral backbone. There’s a lovely interplay of tangy spice (think ginger) and smoky oak, leading to a nutty, spicy finish that lingers with freshness.... Read Full Review →

Two Hands Shiraz Ares 2018

An unapologetically fun, voluptuous wine bursting with blueberry cream, tart red and blue berries, and a bold streak of acidity that keeps all its richness in check. Notes of caramel, coffee, toffee, and a touch of salinity add layers of indulgence, but this isn’t a brooding or contemplative Shiraz, it’s all about pleasure and presence.... Read Full Review →

Dehlinger Altamonte Pinot Noir RRV 2020

A classic expression of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir that begins with appealing fragrances of potpourri, bright red fruit and black cherry. Clean and deep on the palate with fruit and oak in perfect harmony – this is almost too easy to drink. Everything we love about Russian River fruit is here in abundance. Wonderful...
