Expert Review - Vintage 2023 

Jasper Morris 93 Points | An attractive mid crimson colour. A fine fresh bouquet, elegant fruit, not too demonstrative, but with a graceful detailed red fruit, alpine strawberry and little raspberry notes. Very nicely put together, all about the fruit more than the structure. Drink from 2030-2037.

Winemaker Description 

Supreme elegance! Beautiful color, with intense and bright reflections. The diversity of the aromas is striking: wild cherry, nutmeg, camphor wood, fine leather... Later on, the wine takes on a subtle aroma of truffle, producing the most varied palette. With its perfect balance between tannin and acidity, the wine has a fleshy, sturdy body. Powerful and long aftertaste. A wealth of harmonious sensations characterizes this great Burgundy.

Domaine Faiveley · Bourgogne Blanc · Burgundy · France · 2023 · 750ml

The Faiveley family has been rooted in Burgundy for nearly two centuries — seven generations of winemakers whose values have remained unchanged: a deep attachment to the region, an instinctive passion for terroir, and an innate respect for the land and the people who work it. Today, Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest estate owners in Burgundy, with holdings spanning the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, producing some of the appellation’s most polished and collectible whites and reds. The Bourgogne Blanc is crafted from a blend of estate-grown Chardonnay and carefully selected fruit from trusted organic growers, matured for 8 to 10 months in the domaine’s cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a portion aged in oak barrels depending on the vintage. At $39.99, this is classic white Burgundy from one of the region’s most respected houses — exceptional quality for the appellation.

Brilliant pale greenish-yellow in the glass with an expressive, inviting nose of white flowers, ripe citrus, and a subtle mineral thread. On the palate: bold and generous on the attack, with good volume and a beautifully balanced structure — white stone fruit, lemon zest, and a creamy texture from the partial oak aging, finishing with exceptional length and persistence for a Bourgogne Blanc. Drink now through 2028. Pair with roast chicken, grilled sole, scallops, soft-ripened cheeses, or a simple plate of charcuterie.

Seven generations in Burgundy — Faiveley’s Bourgogne Blanc is classic white Burgundy at its most honest.

Of the seven famous cheeses from the Savoie, the Tomme is the oldest. It was born in the heart of the Alps and has been part of the history of the Duchy of Savoy for a very long time.

Our Tomme de Savoie Fermière is made in mountain farms with raw milk from their own cows and where it’s aged in it's own underground cave. Although these Tommes are usually sold directly at the farmhouse, we’re excited to have been able to squeeze-in a batch for our enjoyment :-)

-----------

Paccard Tomme de Savoie Fermière
From the Alpine region of Savoie, France, this rustic mountain cheese is made with raw cow’s milk from small family farms. Gently pressed and naturally aged, it develops a supple texture and earthy, nutty flavors with subtle hints of grass and cellar. Comfortingly savory and perfectly balanced, it’s a true taste of the French Alps.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018

Wine Spectator 93 Points | This is richly layered, with cassis, crushed plum and blackberry puree flavors moving through slowly but steadily, while warm earth, ganache and black licorice notes follow along. Picks up a tarry edge on the finish as the fruit takes an encore. For fans of the muscular, fruit-driven style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2036. (2018). 

Wine Advocate 97 Points | The 2018 Insignia is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard sources this year include: 30% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District),18% Yountville (Oak Knoll District), 13% Banca Dorada (Rutherford), 18% Suscol (South Napa Valley), 14% Home Ranch (St. Helena), 12% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District), 7% Barboza (Stags Leap District). It was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes storming out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, stewed black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of cedar chest, graphite, menthol and wet slate with a fragrant waft of clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate already demonstrates remarkable balance at this youthful stage, featuring a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the tightly wound, crunchy black fruits, finishing long and spicy. (2018).

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points | Very much in the style of the vintage with its pure, concentrated, yet also elegant and focused style, the 2018 Insignia offers up a vivid purple hue to go with lots of red and blue fruits, menthol, tobacco, graphite, and distinct minerality. With an almost Bordeaux-like style, medium to full-bodied richness, present tannins, and a great finish, it's a beautiful, classic Cabernet Sauvignon blend from this team that's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades or more. (2018). 

James Suckling 99 Points | Blackberry and black chocolate with mint, conifer and clove. Sweet tobacco, violets and flowers, too. Some graphite. Cool and complex. Full-bodied with ultra fine, dusty tannins and a wonderful, extremely long finish. Savory and refined. A classic-styled 2018. This needs time, but is so approachable and gorgeous. One of the best Insignias ever. Alive and changing all the time. 40% Stags Leap AVA. 87% cabernet sauvignon, 8% petit verdot, 3% malbec and 2% cabernet franc. Leave this for five or six years, but so wonderful now. (2018). 

Expert Reviews

Wine Advocate 96 Points | More elegant and refined than the Napa Cab, the 2019 Insignia features restrained cedar and vanilla notes (despite spending two years in 100% new French oak) and delicate herbal shadings accenting cassis and black cherry fruit. Full-bodied, velvety and somewhat open-knit on the palate, it turns plush and long on the finish, adding a touch of warmth. Production this year is approximately 17,000 cases, reflecting the increased volume coming from recently replanted vineyards. It's remarkable what a good job they continue to do with this bottling year after year, without compromising on quality.

Jeb Dunnuck 99 Points | Another beautiful wine from this team, the 2019 Insignia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but includes smaller amounts of Merlot and Malbec, brought up all in new barrels, sourced from seven estate vineyards. It has a classic varietal and incredibly complex nose of crème de cassis, freshly sharpened pencils, green tobacco, and damp earth, with a kiss of background sappy spring flowers. Seemingly from a cooler year with its freshness, vibrancy, and herbal, floral character on the nose, it's nevertheless full-bodied and beautifully concentrated on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish. Unquestionably up with the finest vintages of this cuvée, this is legit awesome juice that’s going to offer incredible pleasure over the coming 20-25 years. Hats off to winemaker Ashley Hepworth.

James Suckling 98 Points | A very aromatic Insignia with pencil-shaving and graphite highlights to the dark fruit and blackberries. Full-bodied yet tensioned and vertical with very fine tannins that run deep and layered in the wine. Needs time to come together but fantastic tension and structure. Try after 2027.Vinous 96 points The 2019 Insignia is a bold explosive wine. Sumptuous dark fruit mocha leather sweet spice and tobacco are all amplified in an Insignia endowed with tremendous textural intensity and plenty of soft contours. I imagine the 2019 will age well for years but it will also drink well with minimal cellaring.

Juan Pedro Domecq · Paleta de Bellota 100% Ibérica · Pata Negra · Spain

Paleta de Bellota comes from the front leg of 100% Ibérico pigs, prized for their distinctive black hooves ("pata negra"), which roam freely across Spain's dehesa woodlands and forage on acorns (bellota) during the fall fattening season. This acorn-rich diet marbles the meat with fat, producing the deep, nutty sweetness that Ibérico ham is famous for around the world.

Hand-sliced thin, Paleta de Bellota reveals a deep ruby color marbled with glistening fat that melts at room temperature, delivering a delicate, nutty, faintly sweet flavor prized on its own or with a drizzle of olive oil and crusty bread.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at room temperature, sliced thin, as the centerpiece of a Spanish-style charcuterie board alongside Manchego cheese, marcona almonds, and a glass of sherry or a light Spanish red.

Winemaker Description 

The Judean Hills Blanc reflects the character and quality of the vineyards, located in the ancient region of Judean Hills. The color on this wine is a light gold, its not a deep color but its a pretty light gold.

The aromas are really nice, citrusy, melony, gooseberries, but also some yellow pear and green apple. There are lots going on fruit wise on the nose which makes it a really nice, medium to full bodied wine.

The acid comes on in the mid palate with more citrus in the mouth and a big acid on the finish. This wine is still going strong. It has a fairly long finish for a white wine, with some nice residual acid and melon flavor on the back.

The wine is super enjoyable with its fairly big white wine flavors. It drinks beautifully today and will keep developing in the bottle during the next 2-3 years.

Winemaker Description 

Bright, deep purple-ruby core, lighter at the rim with moderate slightly stained tears on the glass. Robust aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, plums with dried herbs, black pepper, baking spice, leather, camphor and oak.

Full-bodied, with ripe blackberry, pluot, and mixed cherries with cinnamon, black pepper, and tanned leather on the entry. Robustly textured tannins lead to a mid-palate featuring smoked tea leaves and savory meats. The long and balanced finish is dominated by the lasting flavors of dried cranberry, camphor and baking spices. 

Justin Vineyard is one of Paso Robles' founding estates, established in 1981 in the Adelaida Hills — where calcareous soils, hot days, and dramatically cool nights create ideal conditions for Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon. Justin has become the benchmark producer of the appellation, crafting wines of genuine depth, balance, and approachability that rival Napa at a fraction of the price. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is aged 14 months in traditional small oak barrels, built with the same care as the finest traditionally crafted Bordeaux-style wines.

The nose is aromatic and inviting: red raspberry and black cherry laced with vanilla, soft herbs, and warming spices. On the palate, it is dry, moderately full-bodied, and supple — bursting with bright red plum and ripe cherry, with velvety, well-integrated tannins and nuanced elements of caramel, toasted coconut, fennel, and sage. The long finish turns pleasantly savory with floral notes and a hint of pepper. Remarkably balanced and complex, with a fresh palate that invites another sip.

"Lush aromas of cherry, cinnamon, and candied pecan show on the inviting nose. The palate is silky and generous with ample cherry, vanilla, and spicecake flavors. This is a deeply satisfying and bold Cab at a very fair price." — Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points (Vintage 2023)

Winemaker Notes

Bright ruby red with moderate concentration. Red raspberry and black cherry on the nose with vanilla, soft herbs, and warming spices. Dry and supple on the palate with red plum, ripe cherry, caramel, toasted coconut, fennel, and sage. Long, savory finish with floral notes and a hint of pepper. Pairs well with filet mignon, ribeye, grilled chicken, aged Cheddar, and Manchego.

Justin Vineyard · Isosceles · 2021

Winemaker Description

In 1987, we made our first vintage of a wine styled after the famous First Growth producers of Bordeaux, created with the same uncompromising care as the Grands Vins of those venerable chateaux. Full-bodied with ripe black fruit and complex baking spice, this wine is amazingly ready to drink right out of the gate, and you can try a bottle or two now—but make sure to save a few to enjoy this wine as it continues to evolve after some time in the cellar.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

James Suckling, 93 Points — A concentrated and rich nose with aromas of blood plums, mocha, prunes and baking spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and long, lingering notes of blackberry compote, roasted meat, graphite and citrus rind. Made from a blend of 86% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc and 7% merlot. It needs time in bottle for the tannins to soften. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.

Kalembu · Mamajuana · 'Crazy Design Edition' · Dominican Republic · 187ml

Long before rum was rum, the indigenous Taíno people of the Dominican Republic were steeping herbs, bark, and spices in honey and wine as a health elixir, shamanic tonic, and ceremonial drink. That tradition — Mamajuana — survived centuries of history and became one of the Caribbean's most beloved cultural rituals. In 2005, J&J Spirits set out to honor that heritage in a new way: crafting Kalembu, the first perfectly balanced, ready-to-drink Mamajuana, blending Dominican rum, red wine, honey, and a proprietary blend of traditional herbs and spices into a single, shelf-stable bottle.

Kalembu Mamajuana Crazy Design Edition — Dominican Republic

Mamajuana is the national spirit of the Dominican Republic — a centuries-old elixir rooted in the traditions of the indigenous Taíno people, who blended native herbs, bark, and spices as a health tonic and shamanic remedy.

This Crazy Design Edition is a special artistic release featuring vibrant bottle art by Dominican urban artist Crazy Design — a celebration of the island’s cultural energy in every sense.

Kamoizumi Red Maple — Junmai Ginjo Namazume — Hiroshima, Japan — 720ml

The Maegaki family began as rice farmers in Hiroshima, became landlords, and entered sake brewing at the onset of Japan's modern era in 1910. In 1965, Kamoizumi became one of a pioneering group of ten breweries who committed entirely to junmai sake production — at a time when adding brewers’ alcohol to maximize profits was standard practice. Their first Junmai was released in 1971, and few breweries have taken a bolder stance on developing a true house style. Red Maple is their most celebrated expression: a Junmai Ginjo Namazume aged for two years at 5°C, unpasteurized and undiluted, developing rich, layered savory character without losing a sense of freshness. This is sake at a new level of complexity.

The sake balances sweetness, acidity, astringency, and savory depth like no other — a textbook expression of the elusive flavor of umami. Rich and full-flavored on the palate, with bold character and the drinkability that marks true technical mastery. The two-year cold aging builds layers of complexity — earthy, savory, and deeply satisfying — while the namazume (once-pasteurized) process preserves a vibrant freshness that keeps every sip alive. Designed to be enjoyed now or aged further in a cold cellar or wine fridge.

Unpasteurized, undiluted, aged 2 years at 5°C — Junmai Ginjo Namazume from one of Hiroshima's most pioneering sake breweries. Bold, umami-driven, and built for the table.

• Producer: Kamoizumi Brewery, Hiroshima, Japan
• Style: Junmai Ginjo Namazume (Once-Pasteurized)
• Aging: 2 years at 5°C — unpasteurized, undiluted

• Serve: Cold, at room temperature, or over a single ice cube
• Cellar Potential: Drink now or age further in a cold cellar or wine fridge
• Best Paired With: Grilled meats, yakitori, aged cheeses, miso-glazed fish, mushroom dishes, full-flavored cuisine

One of Hiroshima's most pioneering breweries, one of Japan's most complex sake expressions — Kamoizumi Red Maple is the benchmark for what bold, umami-driven Junmai Ginjo can be.

Winemaker Description

The blend is dominated by the Estate Vineyard, yet the significant percentage of Walker—Kanzler's Green Valley vineyard—bends the wine in an exciting red-note direction: hibiscus, rhubarb and red licorice. The aromatics deliver fresh berries, cola, white pepper and pine sap. Fig notes emerge on the palate with a spicy, black tea finish. Modest whole cluster and slightly more new oak make the wine soft and approachable, while bright acid keeps it fresh, juicy, and well-knit.

Producer Description 

Kawatsuru translates to “river crane” and comes from the sighting of a crane in the river behind the brewery. Crane of Paradise is described as “umakuchi,” a combination between sweet, dry and umami flavors. The perfect summertime sip!

Juicy notes of grapefruit and freshly cut grass, with a hint of salted pineapple. Crisp, dry finish with an almost effervescent energy behind it.

Try with Pizza with prosciutto/speck or smoked salmon with cream cheese. 

Winemaker Description 

Made with yeast extracted from the Sanuki olive native to the region, this hyperlocal sake showcases the best of Kagawa in a one-of-a-kind bottling.

Juicy notes of musk melon, white flowers and green pear with hints of starfruit, grass and salinity.

Try with salad with carrot ginger dressing, coconut crab curry or spring pea & mint gazpacho. 

Our Professional Review

A unique expression of sake made with olive yeast.  Beautiful white fruits and floral notes backed by lovely herbal and savory notes.

There is only a limited quantity of this gorgeous and most sensuous white wine. The older large barrels have added richness and
texture without any hint of flab.

Elegant, rich restrained, hints of lime blossom, soft on the palate with a gentle structure,
this classic Rhone grape thrives in the Mediterranean climate here at The Cape of Good Hope.

This wine whilst perfectly accessible in youth will reward good cellaring and keeping for up to 10 years.

FOOD SUGGESTIONS
A classic wine; perfect with smoked fish or chicken, anchovies on the grill or even a tangy Caesar salad.

Ken Forrester Reserve Sauvignon Blanc — Stellenbosch, South Africa 2022

Ken Forrester is one of South Africa's most celebrated winemakers — a passionate advocate for Chenin Blanc and the broader potential of Stellenbosch as a world-class wine region. His Stellenbosch farm, situated on the cool slopes of the Helderberg, benefits from the maritime influence of False Bay and long, slow ripening conditions that produce wines of genuine complexity and freshness. The Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from grapes grown in this cool-climate environment, where extended hang time allows the fruit to develop layered aromatic character while retaining the brisk, mineral-driven acidity that defines the style.

The nose shows lovely complexity: a mix of tangy grassy notes and fig leaf intertwined with peach and nectarine nuances — aromatic, fresh, and inviting. On the palate, brisk acidity and minerality take center stage, a direct reflection of the long hang time in this cool coastal region. Clean, focused, and refreshing — a Sauvignon Blanc that is equally at home at the aperitivo hour or at the table.

"Lovely complexity with a mix of tangy grassy notes, fig leaf, peach and nectarine nuances. Brisk acidity with minerality on the palate — typical of the long hang time in our cool region." — Ken Forrester, Winemaker

Winemaker Description 

If you've ever encountered a "warm sake" skeptic, heat up a bottle of this Kenbishi "Kuromatsu" and prove to them that warm sake can be one of life's greatest pleasures. With the right amount of heat (around 104°F), hints of cashews, rice, caramel emerge. This 180ml bottle is designed especially for the microwave – remove the cap and heat for 20 seconds.

One cup sakes were first introduced during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and are perfect for taking on a picnic, a game, or alongside takeout.

Rand Sieger, 67Wine: This is a heady sake with deep, rich umami flavors and bright acidity, perfect for matching the richness of fatty fish like otoro, salmon, or mackerel.  The honjozo style relies on the addition of a small amount of brewer's alcohol to create a smoother, lighter sake with heightened aromatic complexity.

Kendall-Jackson | Santa Barbara County, California | Chardonnay | 2023

This is KJ at its most refined: lush, structured, and built for the table.
