Expert Reviews — Vintage 2020
James Suckling — 93 Points
"A classical, typical Rioja Alta red with elegant notes of vanilla, coconut, smoked spices and strawberries. Refined and suave, with fine tannins and a long, creamy finish. Juicy and elegant. Really approachable now, but give it two more years to get more mushroom complexity."
Robert Parker Wine Advocate — 92 Points
"A versatile version of the Haro reds. Classical nose of ripe fruit, American oak and spices, with subtle notes of forest floor, still young. The palate is velvety and very balanced with polished tannins. Approachable but should also age. Drinking 2024–2029."
Winemaker Description — Vintage 2020
The 2020 vintage was characterized by a long growing cycle and perfect phenolic ripening, producing wines with great aromatic intensity and fruit concentration, well-balanced between alcohol and acidity, and highly suitable for long aging.
100% Tempranillo from La Rioja Alta’s own vineyards in Rodezno and Labastida, with an average vine age of 40 years. Manual harvesting in boxes with cluster selection in the vineyard. Grapes are transported refrigerated to maintain integrity, followed by rigorous quality control on optical sorting tables. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur naturally. Two years of aging in American oak barrels (new the first year, four-year-old barrels the second), with four traditional rackings by candlelight. Bottled June 2023.
Intense and brilliant garnet color with a vivid ruby rim. On the nose, high intensity with notes of raspberries, wild strawberries, and redcurrants, wrapped in balsamic aromas of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and roasted coffee. On the palate, long, balanced, and fresh with fine, silky tannins and a long finish where the initial balsamic and red fruit aromas reappear.
Food Pairings
Exceptionally versatile — ideal with appetizers, charcuterie, and barbecue; perfect with rice, pasta, and stews; excellent alongside lightly grilled meat and fish.
Antinori IL BRUCIATO Tenuta Guado Al Tasso Bolgheri 2024 750ml
From the legendary Antinori family and their prized Tenuta Guado al Tasso estate on the Tuscan coast, Il Bruciato is the benchmark entry into the world of Bolgheri — a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Bordeaux blend that delivers the elegance and complexity of the appellation at an approachable price point. One of Italy's most consistent and beloved Super Tuscans.
The Producer
The Antinori family has been making wine in Tuscany for over 600 years, and Tenuta Guado al Tasso is their crown jewel on the Bolgheri coast. Situated near the town of Bolgheri — the birthplace of the Super Tuscan movement — the estate benefits from the moderating influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea, producing wines of remarkable freshness, structure, and Mediterranean character. Il Bruciato is the estate's second wine, offering a more approachable expression of Guado al Tasso's exceptional terroir.
The 2024 Vintage
The 2024 Il Bruciato shows an intense ruby red color with the characteristic notes of red and black berry fruit that define this vintage — concentrated, expressive, and vibrant. Sweet spices and a hint of liquorice complete the bouquet, while the palate is well-structured, persistent, and highly pleasurable with a long, fruity finish and aftertaste.
Tasting Profile
Deep, intense ruby. The nose is generous and inviting — ripe blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, sweet spice, and a lifted hint of liquorice. On the palate it's well-structured and medium- to full-bodied with polished tannins, fresh coastal acidity, and a long, fruit-driven finish. Approachable now, with the structure to develop further over 3–5 years.
Perfect Pairings
Serve at 64–68°F with grilled bistecca alla Fiorentina, lamb chops, wild boar ragù, aged Pecorino, or hearty pasta dishes. A natural at the Italian table — and an outstanding value from one of Tuscany's greatest estates.
Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros Napa Valley 2024 750ml
Winemaker Description - 2024
The iconic California Chardonnay! This wine will delight with its ripe fruit intensity, hints of vanilla oak, a creamy midpalate, and a buttery finish, all supported by bright acidity tying it all together. Bring this wine to a party or open on a quiet night at home- you'll never be disappointed!
Aromas of yellow peach and ripe melon are found on the nose, interspersed with bright citrus notes. These notes continue on the palate, featuring creamy vanilla and buttery nuances on the long finish. Rombauer’s signature bright acidity is evident in each sip, balancing the softness of the midpalate.
2024 was another classic vintage with good winter rain and moderate spring, ending with warm spells in September that brought us good yields. These perfect conditions allowed optimal fruit ripeness while still preserving the signature acid and body for which Rombauer wines are known.
Sustainable farming practices used throughout the growing season were tailored to each block with the assistance of aerial photos produced using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) technology.
Food Pairings
-
Rich Classics: Lobster with drawn butter, Fettuccine Alfredo, or Crab Cakes.
-
The "Joy of Cooking" Match: The Rombauer family famously authored the Joy of Cooking; they specifically recommend pairing this with their Chicken Risotto or Strawberry Shortcake.

Domaine Gour de Chaule Gigondas Tradition 1871 2022 750ml
67Wine Buyer's Note
Bart Hopkins, 67Wine
Stephanie Fumoso is the great-granddaughter of Eugène Bonfils, who founded Domaine Gour de Chaulé in 1900. The estate has 10 hectares in the village of Gigondas, planted mainly to Grenache with small percentages of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. The 2022 Cuvée Tradition is a pure expression of this beautiful part of the Southern Rhône — juicy, herb-infused strawberry fruit on the nose accented with crushed pepper and savory spices. Energetic and lively in the mouth, with a gentle grip of tannins and a lick of acidity on the long, elegant finish. Well balanced and perfectly suited to the dinner table — serve with braised meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty Mediterranean dishes.

Expert Reviews — Vintage 2022
James Suckling — 93 Points
"A refined, chiseled and bright red based mostly on Grenache with the addition of Syrah and Mourvèdre. The nose is precise and charming, with notes of wild strawberries, dried flowers, wet stones, and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Fresh and well-balanced. Beautiful volume. Silky texture with a purity of fruit and a harmonious finish. Drink or hold."
Vinous — 93 Points
"The full-bodied 2022 Gigondas Cuvée Tradition 1871 is a total delight. Succulent red fruits mingle with floral tones and a pinch of dried herbs. Smooth tannins and bright acidity neatly structure this silky-textured Gigondas, which culminates with a concentrated, sapid finish. Give it two more years in bottle to develop even more complexity."

Chateau Cote de Baleau Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Vinous 94 Points | The 2022 Côte de Baleau has an expressive nose with clean and precise blackberry, graphite, pressed violet and iris scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more flesh than the Poujeaux. It's crisp, focused and mineral-driven, with plenty of energy on the finish derived from the limestone part of the vineyard. This is superb.
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points | Made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc aged 25% new oak, the 2022 Château Cote De Baleau has a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a brilliant nose of smoky red and black fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and crushed stone. I love its overall purity, and it's medium to full-bodied and has a silky, elegant mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish.
The Wine Spectator 93 Points | This is stylish, with a core of mulled black cherry and black currant fruit that glides through, laced with chestnut, violet and alder hints, all backed by a tug of warm earth on the lengthy finish. Solid. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2038. 4,500 cases made.
James Suckling 93 Points | Very elegant with blackberries, black olives, spice and a hint of cedar on both the nose and palate. It's medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins that provide both length and beauty. Hard not to drink now. A blend 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.
Decanter 93 Points | RIpe blackcurrants and soft scents of vanilla and clove on the nose. Juicy and lively with lovely crushed stone, powdery mineral tannins that support the fruit and don't overwhelm. This has a vein of spice running all the way through that gives a nice counter to the fruit and high acidity. It feels well worked with purity and precision. Really easy to enjoy with subtle power and lots of life.
Memo Summary Notes
The Château Côte de Baleau 2022 is a standout Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that has gained significant traction since its acquisition by the Cuvelier family (who also own the prestigious Clos Fourtet). The 2022 vintage is particularly lauded by critics as a "best value" of the year, offering high-level Bordeaux elegance without the typical triple-digit price tag.
Classic Right Bank pairings work best—think grilled lamb chops with rosemary, beef tenderloin, or earthy mushroom dishes.
Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Setilles 2023 750ml
Critical Acclaim — Vintage 2023
Decanter Magazine — 90 Points
"There’s an appealing Granny Smith apple and nectarine fruit aroma with a hint of white blossom on the initial attack. The texture is surprisingly fresh for the vintage, and the finish is elegantly lovely – astonishing quality given the volume of production."
Wine Spectator — 90 Points
"Peach, almond, toasty oak and earth notes highlight this plush white. Backed by lively acidity that drives the spicy, bitter citrus finish. Shows fine balance and length."
Winemaker Description
Aromas of white flowers, peach, grilled almond, and lemon peel on a mineral-tinged background. The attack is full and warm on the palate, with a lively and long-lasting finish.
The Les Sétilles Secret
Les Sétilles is widely considered one of the best-kept secrets in Burgundy. While technically labeled as a Bourgogne Blanc — Burgundy’s entry-level appellation — the fruit is sourced primarily from vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, two of the Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated white wine villages. The result is a wine with the DNA of much more expensive village-level Burgundy at a fraction of the price: a genuine insider’s choice for those who know.
About Olivier Leflaive
Olivier Leflaive is one of Burgundy’s most respected négociant-éleveurs, founded in 1984 in Puligny-Montrachet by Olivier Leflaive — a member of the legendary Leflaive family, one of the most storied names in white Burgundy. The maison specializes in white wines from the Côte de Beaune, with a portfolio spanning Bourgogne Blanc through Premier and Grand Cru, and is known for its commitment to sustainable farming and minimal intervention winemaking. Les Sétilles — named for the small stones found in the vineyards — is the flagship entry-level wine and one of the most consistently praised value Burgundies on the market.
Food Pairings
Lobster with drawn butter, seared scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken with tarragon, veal, Brie, aged Comté, and light pasta with cream sauce. A benchmark value white Burgundy built for the table.

Winemaker Description
Embodying the luxurious beauty of great Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this alluring wine draws you in with complex aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry, and sweet baking spices.

Benanti Etna ROSSO Sicily 2022 750ml
Expert Review — Vintage 2022
Vinous (Eric Guido) — 90 Points
"The 2022 Etna Rosso wafts up with a perfumed blend of rosy florals and hints of juniper berry. This is vividly fruit-focused, with a wave of ripe wild berries and sweet spices that flow across a stream of brisk acidity. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and mildly grippy tannins to resonate as violet inner florals slowly fade. While more extroverted than expected, the 2022 is a total pleasure to taste and maintains fantastic balance."
Winemaker Notes
Benanti Etna Rosso is pale ruby red in color. The bouquet is ethereal and intense, with spicy red fruit aromas. Well balanced and medium-bodied, with a mineral-rich complexity, pleasant acidity, and a saline freshness on the long and lively finish.
Food Pairings
A versatile wine that pairs beautifully with red meats, aged cheeses, grilled fish, and white meats. Equally excellent by the glass.

Chateau Bel-Air Lussac Saint-Emilion 2020 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020
James Suckling 92 Points | Dark spices, blackberries, warm stones and hints of black vanilla, walnut and oyster sauce. Tannins are tight and chewy on the medium- to full-bodied palate and need some time to soften. Better in 2025 but already delicious.
The Wine Advocate 91 Points | The 2020 de Bel-Air has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and pretty notes of crushed raspberries and blackberries, kirsch and lavender, plus wafts of fallen leaves, wild mushrooms and damp soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is delicately styled with loads of savory characters intertwined with red and black berries layers, framed by soft tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on an earthy note.
Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | Another terrific wine in the vintage, the 2020 Château Bel-Air Cuvée Jean & Gabriel checks in as equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc raised in one-third new French oak. Redcurrants, sandalwood, cherries, and leafy herbs all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a seamless, balanced mouthfeel and outstanding length. It's well worth seeking out and has 8-10 years of prime drinking ahead of it.

Domaine Gerard Boulay Sancerre Blanc CHAVIGNOL 2024 750ml
Winemaker Description
Overall, Gerard Boulay's “terre blanche” vineyards produce some of the most distinctive and soil-inflected Sauvignon Blancs in the Loire, with a delineation and minerality often reminiscent of a top Chablis. Boulay is certainly among the top examples of the appellation, including Boulay's neighbors (Cotat Bros., Vatan).
These are gorgeous, highly complex wines that are a clear step above "regular" Sancerre, and can age easily for 10-20 years or more. In fact, we have had them all the way back to the 1959 which was magnificent! They confirm Boulay's place in the top ranks of Loire Valley vignerons."
Memo Pairing Notes
This wine is a classic pairing for goat cheese, especially the local Crottin de Chavignol. Other excellent pairings include:
-
Fresh oysters and grilled seafood.
-
Arugula salad or roasted peppers.
- Lemon Chicken

Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) — 95+ Points
"This vintage shows the immense power and complexity that likens it to 2016, another year for collectors. The 2021 Barbaresco offers medium-rich density transmitted both to the wine’s appearance and its mouthfeel. There is black fruit, spice, and a touch of nutmeg.

Wine Spectator — 94 Points
"A vibrant, well-defined red, offering rose, cherry, strawberry, white pepper, and mineral flavors. Sleek and elegant, this firms up on the linear finish. Balanced and approachable now yet would benefit from a bit more time to knit together. Best from 2027 through 2040."
Vinous (Antonio Galloni) — 93 Points
"A gorgeous, deep wine. Although the aromatics are a bit closed, the 2021 shows gorgeous depth and a touch more palate presence than is typically the case for this bottling. Dark and enveloping, the 2021 will offer a number of years of very fine drinking. An impressive, classy wine from Produttori del Barbaresco."

The estate is fully committed to organic viticulture, farming without synthetic pesticides or herbicides to express the purest possible fruit from its Piedmontese terroir.
Food Pairings
Cured meats and soft cheeses, Piedmontese agnolotti with meat sauce, roast veal, grilled meats, and mushroom-based dishes. Extremely versatile — equally at home at a casual dinner or a more formal Piedmontese feast.

Renaissance Magie des Caillottes Sancerre Organic Biodynamic 2024 750ml
Critical Acclaim - Vintage 2024
- View from the Cellar – John Gilman 92 Points | “Deep and complex bouquet of gooseberry, lime, a beautiful base of chalky minerality, newly-cut grass, just a whisper of anise and a topnote of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and nicely soil-driven in personality, with a fine core of fruit, a lovely spine of acidity, excellent balance and a long, complex and nicely grassy finish.” Drink 2025–2035.
Tasting Notes
Floral and fruity with notes of citrus, gooseberry, and stones, underpinned by a beautiful chalky minerality from the caillottes soils. Precise and balanced with great acidity, this is a harmonious, “gourmet” Sancerre of real elegance and length.
About the Wine
A joint venture between the Frères Fleuriet and Stéphane Marchand, Renaissance is one of Sancerre’s most exciting organic and biodynamic producers. The name “Magie des Caillottes” refers to the shallow, stony limestone (caillottes) soils of Sancerre — a terroir that produces wines of exceptional aromatic elegance, ready to drink earlier than those from heavier clay or flint soils. No synthetic chemicals, no shortcuts — just the pure expression of one of the Loire Valley’s greatest appellations.
Food Pairing
A natural match for oysters, grilled fish, shellfish, goat cheese, and light salads. Equally stunning on its own as an aperitif.

Benanti Etna BIANCO 2024 750ml
Our Professional Review
Debra of 67Wine.com | A thrill seeking wine from the volcanic region in Southern Italy, Mt. Etna, Benanti showcases this 100% Carricante at it's best. Complexity on the nose with aromas and flavors of grapefruit, saline, fresh acidity with lots of minerality. A pure varietal expression, this wine is full of life, vibrant, energetic and a lingering finish.
Pair with ricotta cheese drizzled with orange and/or lemon rind, grilled swordfish, tuna, cheeses, and lemon pasta dishes.
Memo Summary Notes
The Benanti Etna Bianco 2024 is a hallmark expression of volcanic white wine from Sicily. Produced by one of the pioneering families of the Mount Etna region, this wine is celebrated for its sharp minerality and high-altitude freshness.
Palate: The "volcanic" character is front and center. It is bone-dry and lean, driven by a stony minerality and a distinct saline (salty) edge. The acidity is crisp, leading to a long, clean finish that mimics the feeling of biting into a tart orchard fruit.

The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | White melon, crisp nectarine and apple slice aromas are cut by sea salt on the cohesive nose of this bottling.

Vinous 90 Points | The 2023 Chardonnay Highland is ample and lively, opening with an uncomplicated nose of golden apple, nectarine and savory herbs. A nicely measured inner sweetness makes this approachable and easy to like. The 25% new oak is skillfully integrated, adding a spicy kick through the focused finish. Well done.” – Billy Norris, August 2024

Schug Carneros Chardonnay 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023
Tasting Panel 92 Points | Aged sur lie for nine months in (25% new) small French oak barrels, this classically styled Chardonnay shows a salty mineral character with melon, MacIntosh apple, marzipan, and lemon oil. Nice mouth feel, with body weight, and accented with crisp acidity. Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | A tantalizing, toasty top note draws you into this mouth-coating, richly flavorful and full-bodied wine. Spicy oak notes, light butter accents and poached pear flavors bring a lot of satisfaction on the sip.
James Suckling 91 Points | This shows note of ripe peaches and pineapple with hints of toffee, honeysuckle and lemon custard. Medium- to full-bodied, creamy and weighty yet with fresh, juicy acidity coming through. Mellow and textural on the finish.
Winemaker Description
Chardonnay grapes grown primarily in Schug's Estate and Ricci vineyards, with additional barrels from the Wildcat Mountain and Sangiacomo vineyards, underwent traditional European winemaking practices. Each lot was fermented separately and aged on the lees ("sur-lie") in small French oak barrels, introducing judicious new oak. The result is an elegant and powerful wine that is refreshing and mouth-watering on the finish. It has intense aromatics of citrus, white flowers, and peach. This wine offers layers of tropical and stone fruit and light minerality on the palate.
Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food. Try it with cream soups, rich seafood, fowl, veal, and pasta dishes.
