Good til Gone? Yes. Well, it's pretty simple. The wine is good. Really good. But is has to go. And when it's gone, it's gone. Sometimes we just buy too darn much. With thousands of wines coming and going, there's lots going on around here. Wines are overlooked and sit idle, and need a nudge.

Browse through this list and check back as we’re sure to add to it. Nothing compromised. These aren't auction goods or close-outs where provenance is a question. It's all good. Prices progressively reduced monthly, so some serious bargains here. Best take a look sooner than later. Prices are good til gone.

2017 Domaine Durieu Chateauneuf du Pape l'Eperdu (750ml)

Grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France

96JD

Lastly, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape L'Eperdu offers a touch of blue fruits as well as hints of ripe black cherries, ground pepper, melted licorice, violets, and spring flowers. Rich, full-bodied, with some subtle background oak, it's another exotic, singular, opulent wine from this estate that has loads to love. It too will keep for 10-15 years.

2019 Pichler-Krutzler Gruner Veltliner Pfaffenberg Alte Reben (750ml)

Gruner Veltliner from Niederosterreich, Austria

94WA

Vinified in a new, untoasted 900-liter oak vat, the 2019 Ried Pfaffenberg Alte Reben Grüner Veltliner was only bottled in spring this year. The intensely citrus-colored wine shows a flinty, precise, fine and fresh bouquet with ripe stone fruit aromas and spices of crunchy crystalline stones. Creamy textured, ripe, lush and very elegant, with some attractive oak notes but fine tannins, this is a sensual, well-balanced and perfectly round Pfaffenberg that has to be marketed as Kremstal Reserve because the oak influence was too dominant for the DAC tasters in Krems. There is 14.5% alcohol, which you don’t feel due to the mineral freshness and elegance. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.

94 points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (Dec 2021)

2016 Domaine Bois de Boursan Rouge Tradition (1.5L)

Grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France

94WE

Profound in perfume, this concentrated red offers opulent black plum and dried-cherry aromas fringed by savory spice and earth. It's a muscular wine packed with luscious black-fruit flavors framed by firm, gripping tannins. Hold till 2022. It's concentrated and structured enough to improve through 2040.

94 points, Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2019)

2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Burgundy, France

93WA 93V

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu confirms its strong showing from barrel, soaring from the glass with scents of ripe cherries, red berries, rose petals, orange rind and a deft touch of toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a charming, supple profile that makes it hard to resist.

93 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2017 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has a complex bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of whole cluster from an additional vat lending a little pepperiness. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins on the entry and a little compact at the moment. The elegant, transparent finish has a skip in its step. Divine.

93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Jan 2020)

2015 Canard The Rescuer (750ml)

Merlot from Napa, California

91WA 91V

A blend of 90% Merlot with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Proprietary Red Rescuer displays a deep garnet-purple color with an expressive nose of cassis, blackberries and plum preserves with earth and menthol notes, plus a waft of Indian spices. Full-bodied, the palate is generously flavored with notes of baked berries and spices, with rounded tannins and a long finish.

91 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (Issue # 233 - Oct 2017)

Inky fruit, crème de cassis, chocolate, sweet French oak, lavender and menthol are fused together in the 2015 The Rescuer, Canard's Merlot-based blend. Like all of these wines, the Rescuer is decidedly extroverted in style. All of the elements meld together effortlessly. The 2015 is ample and powerful, but also very nicely balanced.

2018 Belargus Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru Roueres (750ml)

Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

A not to be missed selection of top-rated Chenin Blancs from the Loire Valley’s newest rockstar producer, this stellar lineup of exquisite wines from Domaine Belargus is “a must investment for all fans of Chenin Blanc” and equally appealing to those who enjoy “the very great white wines of this world” according to the Wine Advocate’s Stephen Reinhardt, produced in limited quantities and available while they last.

Established in 2018 by Ivan Massonnat, Domaine Belargus is founded on the groundwork of Anjou legend Jo Pithon, among the first to shift focus to vineyard specific Chenin Blanc in the late 1980’s and responsible for the revitalization of the dramatic Coteau des Treilles, a steep, terraced vineyard referred to as the Cote Rotie of the Layon Valley. Originally known for sweet wines but also producing dry Chenins since the late 20th century, the Anjou Noir region boasts a mosaic of complex mineral and volcanic soils perfect for growing Chenin Blanc, with each of the Belargus cru’s expressing its unique origins, including premium parcels in the famed Quarts-de Chaume AOP, the only Grand Cru site in the entire Loire Valley. Leading off with the dry selections, the entry level 94 pt. 2018 Belargus Anjou Ronceray Blanc offers classic Chenin Blanc spiced fruit “all backed by finely beaded acidity” according to the Wine Spectator’s Aleks Zecevic while the powerful 97 pt. 2018 Belargus Anjou Treilles Blanc is a silky, seamlessly textured Chenin Blanc with a mineral tinged finish sourced from the famed 2.72-hectare Coteau des Treilles monopole, a beauty that “any serious wine lover should at least taste” according to critic Reinhardt. Sourced from vineyards along the Layon River, its humid air aiding in the late season development of botrytis, the 96 pt. 2018 Belargus Coteaux du Layon Moelleux Layon is a harmonious blend of polished fruit and honeyed texture, offering “great tension between acidity and sweetness” according to critic Zecevic with a “sensationally long” finish and delivering incredible value. Sourced from one of the three plots listed in the original declaration of the Grand Cru Quarts-de-Chaume appellation, the 96 pt. 2018 Belargus Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru Roueres is “rich yet finessed and elegant” according to critic Reinhardt, bottled in full size 750 ml. Described as “fabulous” and “irresistible,” the 99 pt. 2018 Belargus Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru Les Quarts pairs “richness and sweetness with crystalline finesse and elegance in an unrivaled way” according to Reinhardt, and the viscous and intensely concentrated 100 pt. 2018 Belargus Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru Ultra is “made for eternity,” and with only one barrel produced, a must for collectors of “the finest noble sweet wines,” poised to age for decades, both of these beauties offered in 375 ml. half bottles.

Offered in a range of styles and levels of complexity, these selections from Domaine Belargus highlight Chenin Blanc's chameleon-like ability to elegantly mirror its terroir when crafted by an exceptional producer. Sourced from an outstanding 2018 Loire Valley vintage, Chenin Blanc fans and anyone looking to explore the Loire’s best whites won’t want to miss this opportunity to enjoy these masterful Loire wines from Domaine Belargus, ideal for mixing a case at an astoundingly good price.

96WA

From a southeast-facing 2.96-hectare vineyard on sandstone puddings, "Les Rouères" is one of the three plots listed in the original decree creating the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation. The 2018 Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru Rouères displays an amber-apricot color and opens with a highly intense and concentrated yet refined, elegant and slightly flinty stone fruit (apricot) and stewed strawberry aroma on the nose. Sweet, round and intense on the palate, with fine acidity, delicate botrytis and wholemeal bread notes on the palate, this is a rich yet finessed and elegant QDC with fine bitters and tannins on the tight yet pleasant finish. 10.5% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2021.

2017 Georges Vernay Maison Rouge (750ml)

Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, Rhône, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Domaine Georges Vernay, founded by Francis Vernay in 1937, is a third-generation, venerable wine producer, located in the heart of Condrieu, France. The efforts of Francis Vernay were instrumental in the creation of the official Condrieu appellation in 1940. In later years, Francis was succeeded by his son Georges, who played a key role in restricting the geographical boundaries of Condrieu, preserving the character of the appellation and ensuring its future greatness. In 1996, Christine Vernay, Georges' daughter, took over as winemaker and General Manager of the Estate. Recognized as one of the great winemakers in France, several of her wines have recently been awarded the coveted 100 points in the world’s top wine publications; remarkable - since the 2011 vintage, not a score below 96 from Jeb Dunnuck for the Coteau de Vernon. Among the top two or three Condrieu in any vintage, the Coteau de Vernon comes from very old vines planted in 1936 and 1960, on the steep granite slopes just behind the Vernay estate.

96JD 95V 95WS

The flagship Côte Rôtie, the 2017 Côte Rôtie Maison Rouge comes from a lieu-dit in the southern part of the appellation, and this terroir always yields a more finesse-driven, elegant style of wine. Gorgeous black raspberry, spring flowers, bay leaf, sandalwood, and exotic spice notes characterize this rich, full-bodied, beautifully textured Côte Rôtie. With sweet yet present tannins, an expansive mouthfeel, and integrated oak, this stunning, young, unevolved 2017 will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 15 years or more.

96 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Nov 2020)

Shimmering purple. A strongly scented bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, pungent wisteria, licorice and exotic spices, along with a smoky mineral quality and a hint of black pepper. Broad and fleshy but lively on the palate, offering concentrated Chambord, cherry, cassis and fruitcake flavors that are enlivened by building spice and floral accents. Smooth, steadily building tannins add shape to an extremely persistent finish that echoes the spice and floral notes. One-third whole clusters and one-third new oak.

95 points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous (Apr 2020)

Lively, with lots of savory and iron streaks amidst the steeped cherry and plum fruit, ending with a flurry of mouthwatering mineral notes on the finish. Sleek and piercing in feel. Best from 2021 through 2036.

Gonzalez Byass Sherry Cristina Medium (375ml)

Vermouth from Jerez, Spain

2012 Sabate i Coca Brut Reserva Familiar Rose (750ml)

Grenache from Cava, Catalonia, Spain

92WA

The 2012 Reserva Familiar Rosé Brut is an unusual rosé made with Garnacha grapes and the only sparkling wine produced with some added sugar, because the wine was too austere and had so much acidity that it was impossible to domesticate. This is not your classical rosé, because this is a super mineral wine (like all the wines I tasted with owner Marcel Sabaté). This has aged for a very long time sur lie, and it feels young and unevolved, with a long life ahead of it. A mineral sparkling rosé! 5,760 bottles produced.

2000 Chateau Branaire-Ducru (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France

95WE 94WA

Here is a huge ripe and luxurious wine, with great power. The texture is solid, filled with firm tannins, the flavors are black and ripe. Along with the power, though, is much of the elegance and poise that characterizes great Saint-Julien.

95 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (Jun 2003)

A beautiful wine from Branaire, the 2000 is close to full maturity, and should offer plenty of pleasure over the next 15-20 years. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by scents of boysenberries, black currants, and spring flowers. This medium to full-bodied, pure St.-Julien hits the palate with authority, displaying silky tannins as well as wonderful richness, depth, and texture.

2016 Domaine du Grand Montmirail La Grande Confidentielle (750ml)

Grenache from Gigondas, Rhône, France

94WA

A new cuvée sourced from black marl soils, the 2016 Gigondas La Grande was still in tank when I visited the estate in June. It's 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, weighing in at 15% alcohol. Lavender notes mark the nose, along with dusty black cherries. It's full-bodied, concentrated and dusty-silky in texture, with a long finish that just hints at the warmth and power of the wine. I'd opt for drinking it over the next 6-7 years.

2019 Domaine de Montille Clos du Roi Grand Cru (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Corton, Burgundy, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Boasting fresh, lively fruit and balanced acidity, these spectacular 2019 Domaine de Montille Burgundies come from a vintage that "hit the bullseye" according to critic James Suckling, offering a "rare combination of excellence and great consistency." Benefiting from our long-standing relationship with the Domaine, this part two of our exclusive Domaine de Montille offering features Burgundies from the estate's vineyards heading south from Volnay through the Cote d'Or to Saint Aubin, ranging from a value-packed entry level Red Burgundy to a vast array of exquisite Premier and Grand Cru Whites, all exceptional wines offering outstanding value, many offered in large format perfect for cellaring.

Now considered a pioneer in the region for being among the first to estate bottle his wines and craft ageworthy Burgundy with a sense of place, Hubert de Montille took over his family's estate at the age of 17 in 1947 after it had dwindled to only 2.5 hectares and set about rebuilding the domaine's holdings while establishing a stellar reputation. Taking the reins after his father's 50-year tenure, Hubert's son Etienne was among the first in the region to convert to organic and then biodynamic practices, while continuing to expand the estate with the acquisition of some of Burgundy's most highly regarded vineyards, including those of Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet in 2012. Now with 35 hectares of holdings spanning an astounding 20 separate top appellations throughout the region, Domaine de Montille's top Chardonnay parcels south of Volnay include Puligny Folatières, a premier cru with two prestigious neighbors, Leflaive and Leroy, the rock-covered Meursault Poruzots next to the famous "Les Genevrières" vineyard and Saint Aubin En Remilly, located just behind the revered Grand Cru Le Montrachet. Crediting the influence of his brother-in-law, the masterful Meursault winemaker Jean Marc Roulot, Etienne employs a restrained use of new oak for the whites depending on the specific plots, aging for up to a year on the lees and preserving the acidic backbone while crafting complex, balanced wines that will evolve over decades.

From the exceptional 2019 Bourgogne Blanc "Clos du Chateau," boasting the rich profile of Puligny Montrachet at a fraction of the price, to the magnificent 2019 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru, an ultimate expression of refined, long-lived Chardonnay from a tiny .23 hectare parcel, and including one Red Burgundy, the bright and energetic 2019 Bourgogne Rouge, these selections from Domaine de Montille rank among the top in the region, superbly expressing each terroir with alluring freshness and elegant length. Produced in a vintage with significantly lower yields guaranteeing excess demand, now is the time to secure your allocation of these magnificent 2019 Burgundies today and look forward to enjoying them for years to come.

94WA

The 2019 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi is one of the high points of the range. Revealing aromas of sweet berry fruit, rose petals, orange rind and spices and framed by a discreet patina of classy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and multidimensional, with a rich and vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.

94+ points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)

2019 Solomon Hills Pinot Noir (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Santa Maria, California

95JD 95WE 93V 93WS

The 2019 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills is slightly lighter colored (which is common from this vineyard) and was raised in 45% new French oak. It offers a more spicy, herbal nose as well as beautiful red and black fruits, gunpowder, flint, rose petal, and spring flower aromas and flavors. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and seamless on the palate, it's another flawlessly balanced, gorgeous wine from this team that knocks it out of the park.

95 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Aug 2021)

This extremely coastal vineyard, which is the westernmost corner of the appellation, produces unique combinations of aroma and flavor. This bottling's earthy nose pops with muddled mulberry and muddy cherry alongside both dewy and scorched sage. The palate is hearty and concentrated with rich, roasted plums and berries, spiced by anise and finishing on a mint-sprinkled meat flavor.

95 points, Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast (Apr 2022)

The 2019 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard shows how magical this site is for Pinot Noir. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate infuse the palate with tremendous depth and intensity. Time in the glass releases the layers so effortlessly. The 2019 is a heady wine, but one with very good balance.

93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Oct 2021)

Elegant, with a sinewy structure featuring hints of white pepper to the tensile and savory mix of dried red plum and cherry flavors. Sanguine accents on the finish linger with dried floral notes. Drink now through 2026. 370 cases made.

2006 Leoville Las Cases (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Here's a rare opportunity to secure top-scoring back vintages from the legendary Chateau Leoville Las Cases! Long considered ‘first among the Super-Seconds’ of Bordeaux with a reputation for First Growth quality, these top vintages from Chateau Leoville Las Cases will evolve for decades to come, some already aged 40 years in pristine cellar conditions, all garnering 95 plus pt. ratings including multiple 100 pt. “perfect” scores, now offered at best on the market pricing.

Bordering Chateau Latour on the northern end of St. Julien overlooking the Gironde, the 98 hectares of Las Cases vineyards are planted in a single block encompassing a mosaic of terroirs, surrounded by walls known as the Grand Clos, its gate topped with a regal lion carved from stone pictured on the Grand Vin’s label. Managed by the Delon family since the late 19th century, the late Michel Delon is credited with implementing changes at Las Cases that fueled its rise in quality over the last 50 years, calling the 1986 his greatest vintage ever (the Wine Advocate’s Robert Parker agreed, scoring it a perfect 100 pts.) while Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson called the 100 pt. 2005 Las Cases “one to savor,” both vintages now in their drinking window with decades of enjoyment ahead. Described as “stunning and pure from the get-go” by the Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth, both Jane Anson and the Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss awarded the 2010 Las Cases perfect scores, with Vinous critic Neal Martin describing it in 2020 as “an absolutely awesome Saint Julien with a long life ahead.” Granting it four perfect scores, critics agreed the 2016 might be the best Las Cases to date, with Jeb Dunnuck saying “this magical, perfect wine couldn’t be better” and Antonio Galloni of Vinous calling it “a total stunner” not to be missed.

Mirroring the greatness of this Chateau's Grand Vin year over year, these are all outstanding choices that stand tall among their neighboring First Growth Chateau at a fraction of the price, whether selecting a few favorites or mixing a case. Echoing a sports analogy, the Leoville Las Cases bench is deep - and with only home run hitters in the rotation, all of these selections are guaranteed to knock it out of the park.

96WA 95WS 95WE 95JS 94V

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then blind at Farr Vintners horizontal, the 2006 Château Léoville Las-Cases has a very complex bouquet with heady scents of blackcurrant, kirsch, crushed violets, rock salt and just a hint of cassis. It is backward and can barely contain its energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very symmetrical and poised, a fine line of acidity interwoven through the black fruit, touches of citrus fruit developing towards the poised and tensile finish. This is a beautiful wine from Jean-Hubert Delon, but it needs several years in bottle. Tasted April 2016.

96 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (May 2016)

Offers a pure nose of crushed raspberry and violet, with aniseed. Full-bodied, with beautiful, well-integrated tannins and a long, polished texture to the finish. Very beautiful. Harmonious and structured. Best after 2015.

95 points, Wine Spectator (Mar 2009)

While the aromas are tight and firm, once it is in the mouth, this wine just explodes. The tannins are dark, almost impenetrable, dry and dense. These tannins are a layer over the fruit that just piles up with ripe blackberry juice, an edge of blueberry. The soft sweetness of this range of flavors continues on the finish, pitted against the tannins.

95 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (Mar 2009)

Aromas of blackberries, black olives, raspberries, iodine and asphalt follow through to a medium to full body with a tight, layered palate and a juicy finish. Hints of iodine at the end. Some licorice, too. Drink now.

95 points, James Suckling (Jul 2021)

Bright, full ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, black cherry, minerals, bitter chocolate, shoe polish and violet; more Pauillac than Saint-Julien on the nose. Then rich, lush and powerful, with impressive fullness and volume. As full and sweet as this is, there's no impression of excess weight and the back end shows a distinctly austere quality, even if the serious tannins are nicely buffered by the wine's rich middle. Really stains the palate with flavor on the aftertaste. Wonderfully ripe cabernet sauvignon here; in fact, most of the cab franc in 2006 was declassified into the Clos du Marquis.

2011 Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Goldkapsel (375ml)

Riesling from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

98WA

Bernstein-colored and provided with a greenish shimmer, the 2011 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Gold Capsule starts with a lovely clear and focused bouquet of ripe and dried apricots, peaches, pumpernickel, and curries. Highly concentrated and viscous on the palate, this is a lovely clear and piquant TBA provided with a delicate acidity and beautiful expression of fresh (instead of rotten) fruit. The finish is always precise and focused and the intensity and purity of the fruit is truly outstanding. Most of all, however, the wine is enormously sweet, but never thick, thanks to its hidden finesse that will come out even better in, say, 20 to 80 years.

2018 Maranones Pena Caballera (750ml)

Grenache from Vinos de Madrid, Madrid, Spain

96WA

I decided to include the note here of the 2018 Peña Caballera that I tasted in November 2020 for completeness and context, as I tasted the 2019 and 2020. It came from a slow-ripening, cooler and wetter year that delivered very juicy wines with structure, tension, complexity and depth. This comes from a 1.5-hectare plot in the "paraje" that gives the wine its name, planted with 50- to 70-year-old vines on a north-facing slope at 850 meters in altitude on sandy granite soils that are organically farmed. The whole clusters fermented in a 3,300-liter oak vat with indigenous yeasts. After pressing, the wine matured in a 1,500-liter oak foudre, followed by five months in concrete before it was bottled. This is incredibly floral and stony at the same time. It's aromatic but has a certain austerity and seriousness. The austerity is more noticeable on the palate, with very fine and chalky tannins, a little more backward than the 2016 at the time. I believe this has huge aging potential. It has structure but feels ethereal. 1,993 bottles and 18 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2020.

2010 Rene Geoffroy Brut Cuvee Volupte (750ml)

Sparkling from Champagne, France

94V 93WA

The 2010 Brut Cuvée Volupté is so impressive. Deep and powerful, with terrific freshness, the Volupté captures the best this tricky vintage had to offer. Tropical fruit, pastry, brioche and warm, toast notes give the Volupté an exotic flair. There's plenty of freshness to play off all of that exuberance. This compelling Champagne from Geoffroy is an absolute delight and a great choice for readers who like a little bottle complexity in Champagne. The 2010 won't keep forever, but it sure is gorgeous today. Disgorged: November, 2019.

Disgorged in September 2019, Geoffroy's 2010 Brut Premier Cru Volupté offers up a pretty bouquet of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, oatmeal, straw and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and incisive, its crisp core of nicely concentrated fruit is underpinned by a racy spine of acidity and complemented by a pinpoint mousse. It's a touch earthier and more evolved than its 2009 predecessor, but this is a very fine Champagne.

2019 Albert Mann Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg (750ml)

Riesling from Alsace, France

2001 Fornaser Monte Faustino Amarone (750ml)

Corvina from Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy

91WS

An intense and enticing mix of fresh and spicy dried fig, date and raisin on the nose. Full-bodied, with big, silky tannins that coat the mouth and provide for a long finish of spice and mineral. Best after 2007. 850 cases made.

2018 Domaine d'Aupilhac Montpeyroux Les Cocalieres (750ml)

Syrah from Coteaux du Languedoc, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Burgundy, France

93V

The 2017 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru has an elegant, tertiary bouquet with hints of dried orange peel; a pinch of white pepper develops with a few swirls of the glass. The medium-bodied palate displays very fine tannins that feel fleshier than the Clos des Chênes, and there is wonderful tension and precision on the long finish. Superb.

2015 Bindi Sergardi Mocenni 89 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (750ml)

Sangiovese from Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy

94JS

Very perfumed and beautiful with red fruit, such as plums and cherries, and just the right amount of flowers and some spices. Medium body, fine and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Shows focus and lovely length. Drink now or hold.

2016 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California

97WA 97V 95JD 95WS

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate saunters out of the glass with a seriously sexy nose of crushed blackberries, wild blueberries, kirsch and black cherries with touches of fragrant soil, cassis, tobacco leaf, candied violets and espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate positively quivers with an electric intensity of tightly wound black and red berry layers, framed by very firm, fine-grained tannins and delivering bags of freshness and perfume on the very long finish.

97 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (Oct 2018)

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and punchy, with striking aromatic lift and energy. There is so much explosive power. Then again, that is pretty typical of these red soils and well-exposed sites in Oakville's eastern corridor. Today, the 2016 is supremely inviting, but it will be even better in another few years' time. Bright, bold and punchy, with tons of aromatic intensity and energy, the Cabernet dazzles from start to finish. Grace and power are rarely so compelling.

97 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Jan 2020)

The two 2016 releases from Dalla Valle start with the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, a sensational wine that easily stands next to the smaller production Maya cuvée. This rocking base level Cabernet has awesome notes of blackcurrants, graphite, crushed rocks, chocolate, and damp earth/forest floor aromas and flavors. It's rich, powerful and concentrated, yet also elegant, with silky tannins and a finish where its class shows clearly. It's a beautiful bottle of wine that will have two decades or more of longevity.

95 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Jan 2019)

A broad, ripe and showy style, with boysenberry, dark plum and black Mission fig fruit flavors that glide through, carried by creamy, polished structure. Light mocha, anise and fresh humus hints peek through on the finish, adding range. A big red, with a lovely feel. Best from 2020 through 2032. 900 cases made.

2019 Perfect Season Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, California

88V

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is the best of the three vintages I have tasted so far. This plush, flamboyant Knights Valley Cabernet is packed with inky dark fruit, mocha, chocolate, spice and leather. This is an especially ripe, dialed up style.

2019 Vinedo Chadwick (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo Valley, Chile

99JS #75 Top 100 97WA

Subtle and very beautiful with currants, tarragon, basil and rose petals in the aromas. It’s full-bodied, yet agile and so fine-textured with superb tannins that provide multi-layers on the palate. It’s refined, yet powerful at the end. Suggests greatness and longevity. Lots of blackcurrants, stones and violets in the after taste. Cabernet sauvignon with a touch of petit verdot. This needs three or four years to show its true greatness.

#75 - James Suckling Top 100 of 2021

The 2019 Viñedo Chadwick is a classical Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, one of the best zones within Maipo. It's from a moderately warm vintage that delivered a wine with only 13% alcohol and good freshness. It contains some 3% Petit Verdot. The vines were planted in 1992, and its gapes fermented in equal parts in stainless steel and concrete or troncoconic vats. Three-fourths of the wine matured in new barriques and the rest in Stockinger foudres for 22 months, including time for the malolactic fermentation. I was truly impressed by this vintage, especially because of its elegance and freshness. There are showy aromas reminiscent of tangerine and flowers, ripe red berries (rather than black) and a spicy twist from the oak but nothing herbal or balsamic that one could expect given the moderate ripeness. The grapes were picked very early, and the wine follows the path of the 2016, the coolest vintage so far, with juicy fruit, elegance and great tension. This feels exceptional and transcends the style of the year. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled the 25th of January 2021.

2019 Yann Chave (750ml)

Syrah from Hermitage, Rhône, France

96V

A complex bouquet evokes ripe blackberry, cherry compote, licorice and violet, energized by a spicy cracked pepper nuance. Broad and fleshy in the mouth, offering densely packed, smoke-tinged black/blue fruit, exotic spice and floral pastille flavors that pick up a minerally nuance as the wine opens up. Shows superb delineation and spicy lift on a long, silky finish framed by steadily building tannins. There were five demi-muids of this wine in 2019, all of them new.

2019 Bethel Heights Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard (1.5L)

Pinot Noir from Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Located on a hillside in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA at the east end of the Van Duzer Corridor, Bethel Heights was one of the first wineries established in the Willamette Valley, founded nearly 45 years ago by two couples considered pioneers of sustainability in Oregon winemaking. Today led by the families' second generations, these outstanding 2019 Bethel Heights Winery releases continue their legacy of producing exceptional cool climate Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, earning some of the best ratings of the vintage.

Starting with a 50-acre high-altitude parcel in an area considered less than optimal for farming, Bethel Heights first began by planting and cultivating Pinot Noir, building a reputation for their grapes' quality and releasing their first estate wine in 1984. After the discovery of widespread phylloxera in Willamette in the 1990s, the winery resisted pulling out all their vines, instead choosing to slow the progression by implementing organic viticultural practices to increase soil health while replacing the dying vines one by one as needed. Sourced from a mix of the surviving "legacy" old vines and newer phylloxera-resistant plantings that are now fully mature, the 2021 Bethel Heights Vineyards wines harken back to Willamette's historically cooler vintages, boasting elegant fruit and balanced acidity emblematic of classic Burgundian-style Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard comes from mostly Dijon clone vines planted in 1999. It has lovely scents of blood orange, blueberries, tea leaves and cinnamon. The palate offers finely detailed flavors and an abundance of silty tannins, finishing with fantastic length and layers.

96 points, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate (Dec 2021)

Brilliant ruby. Expressive, mineral-tinged black raspberry, cherry cola and floral scents are complemented by a spicy nuance and a hint of succulent herbs. Well-concentrated and energetic, offering densely packed red and blue fruit liqueur, vanilla, candied rose and spicecake flavors braced by a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes extremely long and precise, displaying reverberating red berry and spice notes and slowly building tannins. 30% new French oak.

95 points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous (Feb 2022)

There’s real purity and focus to this with freshly sliced strawberry and fruit tea, as well as some perfume. Medium to full body with very racy tannins that are focused. Refined and beautiful. Drink or hold.

2018 Cornell Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California

98V

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant and nuanced from the very first taste. Over the last year, the 2018 has developed from a powerhouse into a much more refined wine. There is plenty of mountain tannin and structure, but those elements are completely enrobed by the fruit. Hints of iron, cedar, dried herbs, mint and sweet red cherry fruit emerge with a bit of time in the glass. The 2018 is a very rare, quintessentially elegant mountain Cabernet. Best of all, the 2018 won't take years to come together. I would drink it ahead of the 2016 or 2017, but if opened young it needs several hours of aeration.
