Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024

The Wine Enthusiast by Christina Pickard | Best Buy | 89 Points | Like the first bite of a juicy, fuzz-covered peach on a mid-summer's day, the grass and wild herbs between your bare toes, a bowl of passionfruit and sorbet beside you, this tangy, ultra fresh, slightly slippery little number is a likable drop in the warmer months particularly.

The Wine Advocate by Erin Larkin writes 89 Points | If this isn't one of the largest-volume, highest-selling Sauvignon Blanc blends on the planet, I will be very surprised. The 2024 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc smells consistently like it always does: cassis and green apple, passion fruit, white pineapple and white pepper, and it has briny acidity. It's a neat wine, with everything ordered and in place. Impressive.

Our Professional Review 

Oscar Garcia Lead Wine Sommelier 67Wine.com  | One of Rioja's benchmark Crianzas. A well-rounded red that delivers a solid drinking experience. Late spring of 2017 I had the pleasure to be in Rioja and although a late frost damaged some of the buds, the quality in what survived is fairly consistent. 

Aromas of plum compote, cassis and notes of cinnamon and cloves. Medium-bodied with polished and pleasant tannins. Consistent and satisfying finish. Pair with beef-stews or any rice dishes such as Shrimp-fried rice.

Winemaker Description

The 2022 Rhône vintage faced extreme heat and drought, with the hottest and driest growing season since 1950, surpassing even the 2003 vintage. Dry conditions in winter and spring were followed by intense heatwaves in June and July, causing significant stress on the vines. Mid-August rainfall provided some relief, promoting ripening, but yields were still notably low. The resulting wines are concentrated and full-bodied, with rich fruit.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Jeb Dunnuck - 91 Points - May 9, 2025 "The Cotes Du Rhone is smoking good, offering up blackberries, pepper, and garrigue in a round, supple, medium to full-bodied style. Based on 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, partially aged in oak foudres, this impressive effort shows remarkable quality for the appellation.

Please allow 3-5 business days for this wine to ship.

Winemaker Description 

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc put New Zealand on the map with its captivating flavor. The 2025 vintage is open and expressive on the nose, with notes of peach, elderflower, makrut lime and freshly squeezed lemon. On the palate, bright lemon notes are layered over subtle white nectarine and refreshing sea salt and dune grass aromas reminiscent of a cool sea breeze at the end of a warm day. There’s a sense of poise, with the refined mid palate balanced by a steel-cut citrus acidity and an elegant finish. 

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a natural match for almost any seafood. Some of our favorites at the winery include tempura oysters, locally-caught sashimi, and steamed mussels with garlic, citrus and parsley. It’s also a great match for green salads and goats’ cheese. A hint from us: if it goes with lemon, it goes with Sauvignon Blanc.

Winemaker Description 

A classic Sauvignon Blanc with all the hallmark characteristics of Marlborough. Produced in a fuller, riper, and softer style that develops well, this wine is clean, fresh and tropical, with fruit harvested from several vineyards situated throughout Marlborough.

Sweet citrus, red current and tropical fruits overlay fresh herbs and mineral elements.

On entry fresh tropical/ fruit salad fruits. The mid-palate adds juicy ripe citrus and blackcurrant with spice and lime joining and extending the finish. A wine with flesh and volume - a flavourful mouthful.

Expert Review - Vintage 2024

James Suckling 91 Points | There’s an enticing shadow of pink color in the glass, typical of pinot grigio. The aromas and flavors are in the baked-apple, pear-drop and table-grape fruit zone, together with a stony note that turns denser and provides a silky, grainy mouthfeel on the fullish-bodied palate. Nicely placed acidity keeps it all fresh and gives a bright fruit and mineral finish.

Winemaker Description

Château de Saint Cosme has been in the hands of the Barruol family since 1490. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992. Saint Cosme Côtes-du-Rhône is produced from 100% Syrah and is from the the stony Villafranchian terraces of the Gard. The vineyards are known for their limestone sand, red clay, and pebbles, which give a freshness and intensity to the Syrah grapes. The wine is partially destemmed, fermented with natural yeasts, and vinified in concrete vats.

This Syrah grows in ideal terroirs of the southern Rhône and shows the varietal’s typical spicy notes of sandalwood, violets, and black pepper.

Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions.  Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.

Memo Summary Notes

Given its primary Syrah focus and spicy, dark-fruit character, it pairs well with:

• Grilled and Smoked Meats (especially beef or venison with black pepper).

• Roasted Pork and Duck.

• Dishes featuring herbs (thyme, rosemary), mushrooms, and onions.

Winemaker Description

With attractive aromas of black fruit and spice, this smooth, ready-to-drink Cabernet Sauvignon is made with the same care as the highest-quality, traditionally crafted Bordeaux-style wines. Justin Cabernet Sauvignon spends 14 months in traditional small oak barrels to impart depth and complexity. The unique climate and soils of Paso Robles add a classic Cabernet character to this wine, highlighting an exceptional balance of flavors and textures.

Bright, moderate concentration, and consistent ruby red hues to the rim. Aromatic with juicy red fruit on the nose, this wine shows red raspberry and black cherry laced with a bouquet of vanilla, soft herbs, and warming spices. On entry, this wine is dry, moderately full-bodied, supple, and bursting with bright red plum and ripe cherry. The velvety tannins are well-integrated among more nuanced elements of caramel, toasted coconut, fennel, and sage. The long finish turns pleasantly savory with floral notes and a hint of pepper. 

The 2022 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon is remarkably balanced and complex, with a fresh palate that not only invites another sip on its own, but also pairs well with a wide variety of dishes. Try this wine with grilled chicken or burgers at your next cookout or with a classic filet mignon at your favorite steakhouse.

James Suckling writes:  Elegant and precise, with aromas of wild strawberries, pink nectarines and subtle citrus peel layered with delicate floral notes and a touch of crushed stones. The medium-bodied palate is sleek and finely textured, driven by bright acidity and highlighted by a clear mineral backbone. The finish is lingering and refreshing.

Yohan Castaing writes:  A gourmand, lively bouquet of pomegranate, red berries, spices and iodine introduces the 2024 Cotes de Provence Rose from Miraval, a moderately weighted, juicy and round wine with lot of energy, concluding with a mouthwatering finish.  - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 90

Winemaker Notes

An alluringly clear pale pink colour with gleaming pastel pink reflections. Fine and elegant, the nose offers a superb aromatic bouquet with notes of red berries and cherry blossom.The mouth is full, vivacious, and distinguished with a refinement that is heightened by delicious notes of blood orange and redcurrant perfectly balanced by a lovely mineral structure and just the right hint of bitterness. These luscious aromas are prolonged on the lingering finish of this elegant, well-balanced wine.

Like in the Northern Rhône, the 2023 vintage was full of contrasts in Provence, requiring composure and meticulous and permanent attention of our vines. After a dry winter, the spring was particularly wet with episodes of hail which caused damage. Following these heavy rains, we had to face significant spells of mildew before a particularly hot and dry summer.

The harvest thus began early on September 6th. Due to these climatic hazards, the harvest offers a limited quantity but with magnificent quality. The wines are now resting peacefully in the cellar. In the fall, we were also able to harvest a good crop of olives, around 15 tonnes.

Surprise, Surprise!  This is as tasty as any Cabernet you can buy for $15, that’s for sure!  We had it with roast chicken, smashed potatoes,  buttered string beans and it just worked.  This is a medium-bodied Cab; its dark plum and cherry fruit flavors are upfront, mouth-filling and leave a mouth cleansing fruit aftertaste.  Another of our buyer Oscar’s really great deals.  - Dorothy & Bernie Follow the Drinker®

Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points | Made since 2001 from a number of Sonoma County vineyards, the 2023 Three Valleys blends 71% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 9% Petite Sirah, 2% each Mataro and Alicante Bouschet from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Russian River Valley. Floral, it is complex and less rustic than usual, the vintage showing classic charm and elegance. Though it is one of Ridge's largest production wines, it is made in the exact same way as all its others, in open top tanks with real oak and native fermentations. It's meant to represent a vintage more than a location. A popular by-the-glass pour, order it when you see it.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Generous and robust yet retains a sense of polish, with expressive raspberry and blueberry flavors highlighted by licorice and pepper, plus a whiff of dill as this builds toward fine-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Mataro and Alicante Bouschet. Drink now through 2034.

James Suckling 93 Points | Aromas of confit cherries, licorice, blackberry bush, baking spices and violets. The palate is full-bodied with a rounded mouthfeel and firmly framed tannins that end in a lush and generous finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024

Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | A bright ruby/magenta color, the 2024 Barbera D'Alba is spicy and lifted on the nose with notes of pepper, fresh herbs, and bright red fruit shining through. The palate is zesty and lively, with electric energy, refreshing, focused acidity, and a compact linear feel. It has a cooling sensation on the palate. Drink over the next several years. This is not a Barbera for volume of richness; it’s about the crunchy, bright fruit, and it will be best enjoyed while it retains its lively nerve.

Winemaker Notes

G.D. Vajra Barbera d'Alba comes from a wonderful range of estate vineyards. It is fermented for an average of 20 days and ages no less than twelve months, in respect of the rhythm of nature. This is a fine blend, a charming wine, rich yet forward.

Our Barbera d’Alba is a joyous wine, graced by the complexity that arises from blending different terroirs. The long and gentle maceration is followed by a delicate aging so as to express the varietal fragrance and perfumes. The 2023 Barbera exhibits a brilliant purple hue. On the nose, this wine is a celebration of freshness, bursting with aromas of red berry juice, roses, and fresh plums, each wave adding to its vibrant energy. The palate is both crisp and juicy, offering a delightful drinking experience. It layers flavors of sweet red and black cherries, spices, and fresh dark berries, culminating in a melange of aromatics that defines the 2023 vintage.

Winemaker Description

This alluring Cabernet Sauvignon draws you in with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, mocha, savory blueberry and sweet baking spices.

Color: Pale lemon.

Aromas: Citrus fruit - lemon, lime and gooseberry with a touch of kiwi. Dry and thirst quenching.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022 

Michael Alberty of the Wine Enthusiast writes 89 Points | Even with 3% Syrah thrown in for good measure, this is one light Pinot Noir that's driven more by its laser-beam acidity than body or tannic structure. Blackberry and lemon aromas are matched by forest- floor notes of pine-needle duff and mushrooms. A tart, not-quite-rip blackberry flavor melds with olive oil and saline notes.

Winemaker Description

The 2022 Erath Oregon Pinot Noir expresses the benefits of an extended growing season, offering enchanting aromas of forest berries and lichen. Flavors mature from bright cherry to blackberry compote to savory morel mushroom toast. An Oregon original, this wine achieves excellent balance and complexity while retaining a delicate, fruit-forward profile, the hallmarks of classic, cool-climate Pinot Noir.

The warm growing season offers decadent aromas of boysenberry and dark cherry with layers of jasmine and fresh herbs helping to maintain freshness. An Oregon icon, this wine achieves the perfect balance between delicate and playful.

Memo Pairing Suggestions

Food Pairings: Its high versatility makes it a "go-to" for many cuisines. Pairs excellently with roast duck with cherry glaze, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, or thin-crust pizza.

Winemaker Description

Pretty, blackberry, dried-tobacco and herbal aromas and flavors.  Medium-bodied, mouth filling flavors and a delicious fruit finish.  A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc located a stone's throw from Chevalier's famed vineyards in Graves. Based on a special selection of vineyard lots handpicked by Deroncourt and vinified by Bernard’s team at Domaine de Chevalier, the Clos des Lunes aims to be little more modern in styling with an excellent quality-price ratio.

Founded by the owners of Domaine de Chevalier & Stephane Derenoncourt, one of the top winemakers in France, the Clos des Lunes 2022 is no ordinary Bordeaux.

Our Professional Review 

Oscar Garcia of 67Wine.com | Bodegas Chaves have been making wines since the 1950's with only Estate grown grapes. Their attention to detail is unrivaled. Tasting Notes: The 2022 vintage of Somm Series Albarino shows an enticing nose of tropical fruit: pineapple and passion fruit. Medium body with loads of freshness and crisp acidity. Green apples, white peaches and kiwi on the palate with a hint of salinity. Sensational finish. Pair with your favorite Spring and Summer Salads. - 

The 2024 vintage, harvested after a growing season with mixed weather offers a fresh and fruit-forward expression.

• Color: Bright ruby red with vibrant purple highlights.

• Aroma: Intense and pleasant nose dominated by red fruit—specifically cherries, blueberries, and black currants. 

• Palate: Smooth, supple, and well-balanced. It is medium-bodied with a fresh, concise fruit acidity and soft, ripe tannins that lead to a clean, fruity finish.

• Maturation: The wine is aged primarily in stainless steel vats for about four months, which helps preserve the fresh, vibrant fruit flavors rather than imparting heavy oak influence.
