Refreshing and vibrant chard from Willamette, Oregon. Stone fruits, yellow apple and creamy vainilla notes and taste. A hint of spice finish, but not overly to the top. Nice overall — 6 days ago

One the most sophisticated Malbec tasted in recent times. An absolutely complex and powerful Malbec from the old vines of Catena Family vineyards where elevation surpasses 3,000-3,000ft above sea level. Intense aromas of blackberries, black currants, velvety and persistent. A great mouthfeel, smooth and multilayered on the mid range of the palate. Delicate on the finish, toasty and woody, with cinnamons, but not overly lingering. Beautifully balanced. Can’t enough of it! — 17 days ago

Warm, sour, plum and a hint of earthy notes. Mostly Nebbiolo grapes with some small percentage of Barbera to soft the tannins and balance the acidity. Some violet and red fruits are in the mid range of the palate. Had the 2015 vintage and was well balanced, still a decent woody finish. Very approachable! — 17 days ago

Pretty basic Chard. Approachable and easy to drink at a value price point. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side and has a short finish. Does the job! — 6 days ago

A great option as a 2nd brand, still delivers a truly unique and balanced wine based on Merlot, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv., a bit less full-bodied that the usual Figeac. Loved the progression as it opens, nicely complex, very long finish and refined texture and solid mouthfeel. Never disappoints! — 16 days ago

100% Dunkelfelder grapes grown in by the Helan mountains in Ningxia, China. Dark and intense, mulberry, dark cherry and chocolate flavors and notes at all times. Some thyme and herbs can be sensed on the palate as well. Mid plus tannins and silky finish. — 17 days ago

A grand Cru champagne, only a blend of top vintages. Sophisticated, delicate fine bubbles. Yellow baked apple notes, crispy, amazing texture, acidity is extremely well balanced to satisfy any palate. Top notch! — 17 days ago

An interesting Chard sourced from multiple sourcing in Napa Valley; Atlas Peak, Carneros, Coombsville and Oak Knoll, which makes a great integration and translating to your sense and palate a mild-intense style. However; this wine spent around 9 months with sur lies on wood barrels. Complex enough to pause and do multiple sips to appreciate it. Floral and white peach on the nose, the oaky notes are a bit too palpable from the very beginning. Nice acidity and intense mouthfeel with spices and vanilla combined. — 6 days ago

Pure expression of intense aromas of black currants, dark berries, leather, tobacco leaves. Inky and powerful on the palate, amazing mouthfeel and very smooth texture. Structured tannins, and very long and pleasant finish. Extremely balanced. 87% Cab Sauv. 9.5% petit Verdot and 3.5% Malbec all sourced from their own vineyards (Ehlers Lane). Simply delicious! — 17 days ago

An unconventional white blend from a 4th Growth Chateau on the left bank of Bordeaux.
70% Sauv Blanc, 30% Sémillon, provides a feast of Quincy and lemon peel aromas and flavors. Light and refreshing, young and lively. Dry, and some mineralized mouthfeel. Less than a 1,000 cases produced. Lovely! — 17 days ago
