Matua Sauvignon Blanc — Marlborough 2024

Matua pioneered Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc back in 1974, and fifty years on, the region's most iconic grape variety still finds one of its most honest expressions here. The 2024 vintage is everything Marlborough promises — vivid aromatics, electric acidity, and a palate that is both refreshing and precise. Ken's Wine Guide awarded it 89.5 points, calling it crisp, zesty, and mouthwatering. With classic structure and a dry, lingering finish, this is the bottle you reach for when the occasion calls for something bright, honest, and undeniably delicious.

The nose opens with white grapefruit and guava, layered with hints of white peach and limestone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with bright, mouthwatering acidity — crisp, round, and zesty. Flavors of white grapefruit and lime are accented by tonic water, yellow bell pepper, and a touch of chalky minerality. The finish is dry and lingering, with classic Marlborough length and precision.

Ken's Wine Guide 89.5 (Vintage 2024) • Wine Enthusiast 93 (Prior Vintage 2023) — "Dried herbs and lemongrass, with passionfruit sorbet, open this lovely, balanced Sauvignon. It's textural, long and persistent, with a salted pink grapefruit finish." — Christina Pickard

Mauro Molino Barbaresco Giacosa — Piedmont 2023

Mauro Molino is best known for his celebrated Barolo wines from La Morra, but his Barbaresco Giacosa is a compelling reminder that his talent extends across the Langhe. Sourced from an east-facing site in Treiso — one of Barbaresco’s most prized communes — and produced in very small quantities, this is a wine of precision, elegance, and genuine cellar ambition.

The 2023 pours a bright, transparent ruby. The nose is classically Nebbiolo: fresh raspberries, dusty earth, flowers, and anise. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a cooling, tense feel, refreshing acidity, and well-defined structure. Aged in a 3,000-liter barrel and one tonneau, the oak is perfectly integrated — supporting rather than obscuring the wine’s natural finesse. Built to drink from 2026 and evolve gracefully through 2040.

Mauro Molino Barolo Bricco Luciani — Piedmont 2022

Mauro Molino is one of La Morra’s most respected producers, farming some of the Langhe’s finest single-vineyard sites with a commitment to expressing terroir with clarity and precision. Bricco Luciani is a prized cru in La Morra, its limestone-rich soils with a touch of sand delivering Barolo of distinctive elegance — bright, aromatic, and structured with the kind of finesse that rewards both early drinking and patient cellaring. Just 4,456 bottles were produced.

The 2022 vintage opens with wild raspberries, pressed flowers, sweet orange peel, blood orange, aromatic dried herbs, and bark. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied with expanding tannins, refreshing acidity, a saline edge that keeps it lively, and a beautifully polished, accessible finish. Aged 18–20 months in a mix of large oak and barrique, it offers more immediacy than many Barolo sites while retaining the structure to evolve gracefully over the next decade and beyond.

Expert Reviews

Dillon Mafit writes:  The chinato tasted like the nectar of the gods, like the most perfectly ripe apricot drizzled in honey, dropped into a glass of 1967 Château Rieussec Sauterne, and dosed with some sort of bitter aphrodisiac.  - thrillist.com

In Mauro Vergano's words (courtesy of LDM website): "I must say that producing a Chinato from Moscato wine was my first big challenge. First produced in 2003, it was the first product of its kind present on the market. The wine I use is a Moscato d’Asti with a higher alcohol content (more than 10%) compared to the ones that are commonly available. As is well-known, the Moscato I use comes from the prestigious winery of Vittorio Bera & Figli. I have to admit that when I was first looking for a Moscato for the first attempts I used wine from various producers, then I was lucky enough to meet Gianluigi Bera and his Moscato and I haven’t left them since. His Moscato’s fragrance and its full-bodiedness meld perfectly with the aromatic extract composed of citrus zest, cinnamon and vanilla. These fresh and sweet aromas are balanced by the bitter flavour of the China (Calisaya and Succirubra) which give it a persistent taste that is absolutely unique. A brief description of the production cycle which all the products share: The first step is the preparation of the extract or “concia”. This is done by leaving a mixture of chopped herbs and spices in alcohol for about 20/30 days. Then the extract is filtered and left to age for a few months. The second step is the actual preparation of the product. To make the product I mix the extract, sugar and alcohol. The last step is clarification followed by filtering which produces a clear product with long-term stability."

Max Ferdinand Richter · Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Spätlese · 2023

The Richter family estate has been in the family for more than 300 years and is now owned and run by winemaker Dirk Richter. Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr sits at the heart of the Brauneberg slope, near the river and surrounded by Juffer. The producer describes the south-facing site as rich in iron minerals, with weathered grey slate across its steep vineyards.

James Suckling finds concentrated fresh apricot, mineral energy and a long finish in this medium-bodied 2023 Spätlese. Vinous adds mango, peach compote and pink grapefruit peel, noting the wine’s striking lightness alongside its sweetness.

James Suckling · 97 Points · 2023
This youthful Mosel riesling has an extraordinary depth of fresh apricot character on the very concentrated, medium-bodied palate. Restrained succulence in the Spatlese context, but there’s nothing restrained about the wine’s mineral energy and the drive in the extremely long finish. And if you pay close attention, you will find a wealth of mineral, herbal and spicy nuances. Reminds me of the great 1990 vintage of this wine. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Vinous · 94 Points · 2023
The 2023 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spätlese, made with just 10% botrytized fruit, opens with a touch of mango and plunges into vivid peach compote sweetness. Pink grapefruit peel counters and intensifies it. Simply gorgeous, with absolute lightness. A dream.

James Suckling 95 Points | A great riesling Spatlese that makes it clear why this category has not disappeared in spite of the rise of dry German riesling. Concentrated peachy fruit is married to excellent structure and the balance of the touch of natural grape sweetness with wet stone minerality and crisp acidity is dazzling. Very long and vibrant finish. Drink or hold.

One of the great rarities of the Port world, Maynard’s 1940 White Colheita is an extraordinary single-harvest White Port from Portugal’s historic Douro Valley. Produced from grapes harvested in 1940 and matured in seasoned oak casks, this exceptionally old Colheita offers the remarkable concentration, complexity and elegance that can develop only through prolonged maturation in wood.

Maynard’s is closely associated with the historic van Zeller family, one of the great names of the Portuguese wine trade. The brand honors Walter Maynard, an ancestor of the family and one of the early merchants involved in shipping Port wine from Portugal to England. Today, the Maynard’s range continues that tradition through a collection of classic and exceptionally rare Ports.

Region & Style

Country: Portugal
Region: Douro Valley
Appellation: Porto / Port
Wine Type: Fortified White Wine
Style: White Colheita Port / Single Harvest Port
Vintage: 1940
Bottle Size: 750ml
Alcohol: 20% ABV
Winemaker: Álvaro van Zeller

Grape Varieties

A traditional Douro white blend composed of:

• Códega do Larinho
• Rabigato
• Malvasia Fina
• Arinto

Winemaking & Aging

Unlike a conventional Vintage Port, a Colheita is produced entirely from a single harvest and develops its character through extended maturation in wood. The 1940 Maynard’s White Colheita was carefully selected and matured in seasoned oak casks, where slow oxidative aging transformed the wine and created the extraordinary richness, mellowness and complexity associated with very old Colheita Ports.

Over time, the fresh fruit character of the original white grapes evolves into layers of dried and preserved fruit, nuts, caramelized flavors and spice while maintaining the natural acidity that gives fine old White Port its remarkable freshness and balance.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful golden-amber color immediately reveals the wine’s extraordinary maturity. The bouquet is rich and expressive, showing concentrated aromas of peach preserves and jam, dried fruit, toasted nuts, caramel and warm spice.

On the palate, it is wonderfully complex and harmonious, combining mature sweetness with balancing freshness. Rich fruit and nutty flavors unfold slowly across the palate, followed by subtle oxidative and oak-aged nuances. The texture is silky and luxurious, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly chilled at approximately 12–13°C / 54–55°F. Because of its extraordinary age and complexity, this Port is particularly rewarding when served on its own in a proper Port or white-wine glass, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass.

Food Pairing

An exceptional partner for desserts featuring almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, as well as crème brûlée, custard-based desserts, dried-fruit cakes and other egg-based pastries. It can also be enjoyed with mature or blue cheeses, including Roquefort, or simply served by itself as a contemplative after-dinner wine.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller. The name pays tribute to Walter Maynard, born in 1652, an ancestor of the van Zeller family and one of the early merchants connected with the export of Port wine from Portugal to England. The Maynard’s collection celebrates this centuries-old Port tradition, with particular emphasis on aged Tawnies, Colheitas, Vintage Ports and other rare releases.

A remarkable survivor from the 1940 harvest, this extraordinarily mature White Colheita offers both a piece of Port history and a rare opportunity to experience the remarkable longevity of the Douro’s traditional white varieties.

What Is White Colheita Port?

Colheita Port is produced from grapes harvested in a single year and matured for an extended period in wooden casks before bottling. Unlike Vintage Port, which develops primarily in bottle, Colheita evolves through long oxidative maturation in wood.

For White Colheita, this gradual aging transforms the youthful citrus and orchard-fruit character of the white grapes into a far more complex spectrum of dried fruit, nuts, caramelized flavors and warm spice while retaining the acidity necessary to keep the wine balanced and fresh.

Tasting Notes

The Maynard’s 1962 White Colheita displays a beautiful golden-amber color and an expressive, mature bouquet. Aromas of peach preserves and ripe stone fruit lead into layers of dried fruit, toasted nuts and subtle oxidative complexity.

On the palate, the wine is rich and beautifully composed, with concentrated fruit balanced by freshness and elegance. Its remarkable age has created a seamless texture and impressive aromatic depth, finishing long, complex and refined.

19 Points — Vinho Grandes Escolhas

Vinho Grandes Escolhas awarded the Maynard’s White Colheita Port 1962 an impressive 19 Points.

The wine is noted for its golden-amber color, superb character, concentrated peach-fruit aromas and particularly complex, elegant finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly chilled at approximately 12–13°C / 54–55°F. A proper Port or white-wine glass allows the wine’s extraordinary aromatic complexity to fully unfold.

Because this is such a mature and complex wine, it is especially rewarding when enjoyed slowly on its own after dinner.

Food Pairing

Pair with desserts featuring almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts, as well as crème brûlée, custards, egg-based pastries and dried-fruit desserts.

Its combination of richness and mature complexity also makes it an excellent match for aged cheeses, including hard cheeses and blue cheese, or simply enjoy it by itself as a contemplative after-dinner Port.

Grape Varieties

A traditional Douro white blend composed of:

• Códega do Larinho
• Rabigato
• Malvasia Fina
• Arinto

Winemaking & Aging

Maynard’s White Colheita 2009 is produced exclusively from grapes harvested in a single vintage. Following vinification, the Port matured in wooden casks for more than 10 years.

Colheita Ports differ from Vintage Ports in that their character develops primarily through extended aging in wood rather than prolonged maturation in bottle. This slow oxidative evolution brings additional complexity and softness while preserving the acidity that gives fine White Colheita Port its characteristic freshness and balance.

Tasting Notes

The Maynard’s 2009 White Colheita offers an elegant and smooth aromatic profile, led by youthful citrus fruit and delicate floral fragrances.

On the palate, the wine is subtly complex, combining lively fruit and floral character with the rounded texture developed through extended wood aging. Sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity, giving the wine finesse, freshness and an elegant, harmonious finish.

18 Points — Revista de Vinhos

Revista de Vinhos awarded Maynard’s White Colheita Port 2009 an impressive 18 Points.

The wine was particularly noted for its smooth and elegant aromatic character, with citrus-driven fruit and floral notes creating a subtly complex and refined expression.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly chilled at approximately 12–14°C / 54–57°F. Its combination of sweetness, freshness and aromatic complexity makes it an excellent after-dinner wine, although it is equally enjoyable served on its own.

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry and dark location with a consistent temperature.

Food Pairing

This White Colheita is particularly versatile with desserts. Pair it with caramel-based desserts, baked apples, dried fruits and warm spices, as well as tarte Tatin, crème brûlée and delicately flavored cheeses.

Its fresh citrus character also makes it an excellent partner for fruit-based desserts such as tangerine or citrus parfait.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller, continuing a centuries-old family connection to the Port wine trade. The brand takes its name from Walter Maynard, born in 1652, an early English merchant associated with the export of Port wine from Portugal to England.

Fresh, floral and beautifully balanced, the 2009 White Colheita combines the vibrancy of Douro white grapes with the complexity and elegance of extended wood aging.

Maynard’s White Colheita Port 2009 750ml

An elegant single-harvest White Port from Portugal’s historic Douro Valley, Maynard’s White Colheita Port 2011 combines ripe fruit, freshness and the distinctive complexity created through extended maturation in wood. Produced entirely from the 2011 harvest, this distinctive Port offers a beautiful expression of traditional Douro white grape varieties and the classic Maynard’s style.

White Colheita is one of the more unusual and fascinating categories of Port. Unlike a blended aged White Port, a Colheita comes entirely from one harvest, with the vintage prominently displayed on the bottle. Time in wooden casks gradually develops greater richness, softness and aromatic complexity while preserving the acidity that keeps the wine lively and balanced.

Region & Style

Country: Portugal
Region: Douro Valley
Appellation: Porto
Wine Type: Fortified White Wine
Style: White Colheita Port / Single Harvest Port
Vintage: 2011
Bottle Size: 750ml
Alcohol: 20% ABV

Grape Varieties

Maynard’s White Colheita is produced from a traditional blend of indigenous Douro white varieties:

• Códega do Larinho
• Rabigato
• Malvasia Fina
• Arinto

These varieties contribute aromatic character, ripe fruit and, importantly, the natural acidity necessary to balance the sweetness and richness of an aged White Port.

Winemaking & Aging

Produced from grapes harvested in a single year, the 2011 White Colheita follows the traditional method of Port production. Fermentation is stopped through the addition of grape spirit, preserving a portion of the grapes’ natural sweetness.

The wine then develops in wooden casks before bottling. This slow oxidative maturation is fundamental to the Colheita style, gradually transforming youthful fruit into more layered flavors of preserved fruit, nuts, caramel and spice while creating a smooth, harmonious texture.

Tasting Notes

Maynard’s White Colheita displays a beautiful golden-amber color and an inviting aromatic profile centered on ripe peach and peach preserves, complemented by dried fruit, citrus peel and subtle floral notes.

With time in wood, additional nuances of toasted nuts, caramel, honey and gentle spice emerge. The palate is rich yet fresh, with sweetness balanced by bright acidity and a smooth, elegant texture.

The finish is complex, refined and persistent, combining mature fruit character with the freshness that makes aged White Colheita Port particularly distinctive.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly chilled at approximately 12–13°C / 54–55°F in a Port or white-wine glass. A slight chill emphasizes the wine’s freshness while allowing its mature aromas and complexity to develop fully in the glass.

White Colheita can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with dessert or simply on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine.

Food Pairing

An excellent match for desserts featuring almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, as well as crème brûlée, custards, fruit tarts and other egg-based pastries.

It is also delicious with dried fruit, caramelized desserts and a selection of mature cheeses. The wine’s balancing acidity prevents richer pairings from becoming overly sweet.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s represents the centuries-old Port tradition of the van Zeller family, one of the historic names of the Portuguese wine trade. The Maynard’s collection specializes in traditional Port styles, including Vintage Ports, aged Tawnies and rare single-harvest Colheitas.

The house is particularly known for preserving older and unusual expressions of Port, giving wine lovers the opportunity to experience the remarkable evolution that takes place during prolonged maturation in wood.

Elegant, golden and wonderfully complex, Maynard’s White Colheita Port 2011 is a distinctive single-vintage Port offering richness, freshness and the unmistakable character of traditional wood-aged White Port.

Maynard’s · Colheita Port · 2016 · Aged in Wood

Maynard’s 2016 Colheita is a Portuguese Port from a single harvest, aged in wood. This is the wood-aged Colheita bottling, not the 2016 Vintage Port intended for extended bottle maturation.

Producer & Origin

Maynard’s is associated with the van Zeller family and Portugal’s historic Port trade. This 2016 bottling comes from the Douro region, bringing together its harvest identity and maturation in wood.

Serving & Pairing

For serving, try a small pour alongside walnuts, mature cheese, or a caramel-based dessert. These are general pairing suggestions for wood-aged Port, rather than producer tasting notes for this bottling.

A beautifully mature Vintage Port from the historic 2000 harvest, Maynard’s Vintage Port 2000 combines full-bodied richness, fine aromatic character and the complexity developed through more than two decades of bottle evolution. Produced from traditional Douro grape varieties and crafted by winemaker Álvaro van Zeller, this is a compelling expression of classic Portuguese Vintage Port.

Vintage Port represents one of the Douro Valley’s most age-worthy wine styles. Produced from the fruit of a single harvest, it spends only a relatively short period in wood before bottling, with its long-term development taking place gradually in the bottle.

Region: Douro Valley
Appellation: Porto
Wine Type: Fortified Red Wine
Style: Vintage Port
Vintage: 2000
Bottle Size: 750ml
Alcohol: 20% ABV
Winemaker: Álvaro van Zeller

Grape Varieties

Maynard’s Vintage Port 2000 is produced from a traditional blend of classic Douro red varieties:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

These indigenous grapes are among the varieties historically associated with the production of fine Vintage Port, contributing concentration, structure, aromatic intensity and long-term aging potential.

Winemaking & Aging

The grapes are harvested from the steep vineyard terraces of Portugal’s Douro region at full ripeness. During Port production, fermentation is interrupted by the addition of grape spirit, preserving natural grape sweetness while creating the richness and structure characteristic of the style.

Vintage Port is intended to complete most of its maturation in bottle. With time, its youthful power gradually softens, the deep color begins to evolve and its components become increasingly integrated and complex.

The 2000 Maynard’s has now benefited from substantial bottle age, offering the opportunity to experience a Vintage Port with mature development while retaining the depth and structure for which the style is known.

Tasting Notes

Maynard’s describes the 2000 Vintage Port as having superb color, a full body and a particularly fine aroma and flavor. A distinctive mint character adds freshness and aromatic lift.

With bottle age, the wine gradually softens and develops greater structural and aromatic complexity. The result is a mature, harmonious Port combining richness with elegance and a long, lingering finish.

Serving & Decanting

Serve at approximately 16°C / 61°F.

Mature Vintage Port naturally forms sediment, or “crust,” during bottle aging. Stand the bottle upright for approximately 24 hours before opening so the sediment can settle, then decant carefully before serving.

A generous Port or red-wine glass is recommended to allow the wine’s mature aromas to open and develop.

Food Pairing

Vintage Port is traditionally enjoyed after dinner and is an outstanding partner for Stilton, Gorgonzola and other blue cheeses.

It can also accompany dark chocolate, walnuts, dried fruit and rich desserts. For a savory pairing, Vintage Port can be served alongside richly flavored dishes such as steak au poivre.

Cellaring

Store the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark location with a stable temperature and minimal vibration. Because Vintage Port develops sediment naturally during aging, careful handling and decanting are recommended when the bottle is eventually opened.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller, continuing the van Zeller family’s centuries-long connection with the Portuguese wine trade.

The Maynard’s name pays tribute to Walter Maynard, an early English Port merchant and ancestor of the van Zeller family. Today, the house produces a range of traditional Ports, including Vintage Ports, aged Tawnies and rare single-harvest Colheitas.

A mature Vintage Port from the turn of the millennium, Maynard’s 2000 offers history, complexity and classic Douro character in a bottle made for memorable occasions and thoughtful gifting.

Grape Varieties

Maynard’s Vintage Port 2007 is produced from a traditional blend of classic Douro red grape varieties:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

These indigenous varieties form the backbone of many of the Douro’s finest Vintage Ports, contributing intense fruit, aromatic complexity, structure and excellent aging potential.

Winemaking & Aging

The grapes are harvested from the steep vineyard terraces of the Douro when fully ripe. During fermentation, grape spirit is added to stop fermentation while a portion of the grapes’ natural sweetness remains, creating the richness, intensity and balance characteristic of Port.

Vintage Port spends only a relatively short period in wood before bottling and is intended to mature slowly in bottle. Over time, youthful fruit and firm tannins gradually integrate, while the wine develops greater aromatic depth, softer texture and increasingly complex secondary flavors.

Tasting Notes

Maynard’s Vintage Port 2007 displays a deep, concentrated color with a full-bodied and richly structured palate. The aromatic profile is fine and expressive, showing the depth and intensity expected from traditionally produced Vintage Port.

With bottle age, the wine has begun to soften and evolve, developing greater harmony, structural complexity and mature character while retaining the richness and concentration at its core.

The finish is long and composed, making this an excellent choice for lovers of mature, traditionally styled Vintage Port.

Serving & Decanting

Serve at approximately 16°C / 61°F.

Vintage Port naturally develops sediment as it matures in bottle. For best results, stand the bottle upright for approximately 24 hours before opening, allowing the sediment to settle, then decant carefully before serving.

Serve in a generous Port or red-wine glass to allow the wine’s mature aromas and complexity to fully unfold.

Food Pairing

A classic after-dinner wine, Maynard’s Vintage Port 2007 is an excellent companion to Stilton, Gorgonzola and other blue cheeses.

It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, chocolate desserts, walnuts, dried fruits and mature cheeses. For a savory pairing, try it with richly flavored dishes such as steak au poivre.

Cellaring

Store horizontally in a cool, dark environment with a stable temperature and minimal vibration. Vintage Port is one of the world’s great long-lived wine styles, and properly stored bottles can continue developing complexity for many years.

Because sediment is a natural result of bottle maturation, mature Vintage Port should be handled gently and decanted before serving.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller, continuing the van Zeller family’s centuries-old connection to the Port wine trade.

Produced from traditional Douro grape varieties and crafted by winemaker Álvaro van Zeller, this cellar-worthy Port offers richness and intensity along with the structure for continued development in bottle.

The 2011 vintage produced remarkably concentrated and age-worthy Ports throughout the Douro. Maynard’s expression captures the character of the year with generous fruit, substantial body and a firm tannic backbone balanced by freshness.

Country: Portugal
Region: Douro Valley
Appellation: Porto
Wine Type: Fortified Red Wine
Style: Vintage Port
Vintage: 2011
Bottle Size: 750ml

Grape Varieties

Maynard’s Vintage Port 2011 is produced from traditional indigenous Douro varieties, including:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinto Cão
• Old-vine Douro varieties

These grapes provide the intense fruit concentration, color, tannic structure and aromatic complexity essential to a fine, long-lived Vintage Port.

Winemaking & Aging

The grapes are harvested by hand at full ripeness and partially destemmed before crushing. Extended skin contact and maceration help extract the deep color, concentrated flavor and tannic structure characteristic of the wine.

During fermentation, grape spirit is added at the appropriate moment to stop fermentation and preserve the wine’s natural sweetness, aromatic intensity and structure.

The Vintage Port is then matured in oak vats in the Douro under controlled temperature and humidity conditions before bottling. The wine is not stabilized before bottling, allowing it to continue its slow evolution and development in bottle. As a result, natural sediment may form with age.

Tasting Notes

Deep and nearly opaque in color, Maynard’s Vintage Port 2011 displays impressive structure, concentration and body. Aromas of ripe red and dark fruits lead into a rich palate dominated by blackberry, blackcurrant and concentrated berry fruit.

The texture is notably creamy and generous, yet the wine possesses a substantial framework of firm tannins that provides definition and excellent aging potential.

Rich fruit continues through the palate into a persistent, concentrated and beautifully structured finish.

94 Points — Wine Enthusiast

Wine Enthusiast awarded Maynard’s Vintage Port 2011 an outstanding 94 Points.

Reviewer Roger Voss noted the wine’s rich opening, firm tannins and substantial weight, emphasizing the solid structure surrounding its generous blackberry fruit. The combination of abundant fruit and powerful tannins points to excellent long-term development.

The Exceptional 2011 Vintage

2011 is regarded as an outstanding year for Vintage Port, producing wines of remarkable fruit concentration, tannic structure and freshness throughout the Douro Valley.

The finest wines from the vintage were built for extended aging, and Maynard’s 2011 shows exactly those qualities: concentrated fruit, substantial structure and the balance necessary for graceful development over many years.

Serving & Decanting

Vintage Port naturally develops sediment as it matures in bottle. Stand the bottle upright for approximately 24 hours before opening, allowing the sediment to settle, and then decant carefully before serving.

Serve at approximately 16–18°C / 61–64°F in a generous Port or red-wine glass to allow the aromas and flavors to fully develop.

Food Pairing

Maynard’s Vintage Port 2011 is an outstanding after-dinner wine and pairs beautifully with Stilton, aged sheep’s milk cheese, blue cheese and other intensely flavored cheeses.

It is equally compelling alongside dark chocolate, chocolate truffles, walnuts, dried fruits and rich chocolate desserts, or simply enjoyed by itself as a contemplative finish to a meal.

Cellaring

This is a serious Vintage Port with the concentration and tannic structure for extended bottle aging. Store horizontally in a cool, dark location with a stable temperature, ideally around 12°C / 54°F.

Although already developing additional complexity with bottle age, the 2011 has the structure to continue evolving beautifully for many years.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller, continuing the van Zeller family’s centuries-old connection to the Portuguese wine trade.

The Maynard’s name honors Walter Maynard, born in 1652, an ancestor of the van Zeller family and one of the early merchants associated with exporting Port wine from Portugal to England. Today, Maynard’s produces a distinctive collection of Vintage Ports, aged Tawnies and rare single-harvest Colheitas.

A superb 94-point Vintage Port from an exceptional year, Maynard’s 2011 combines concentrated blackberry fruit, formidable structure and impressive aging potential—a compelling bottle for the cellar, gifting or a special vintage-year celebration.

McBride Sisters · Marlborough · New Zealand · 2024

Robin McBride and Andréa McBride John grew up on opposite sides of the world — one on the rugged shores of California’s Central Coast, the other in New Zealand — before discovering each other as adults and founding one of the most compelling stories in modern wine.

On the palate, key lime flavors anchor a medium-full body, contrasting beautifully with firm acidity and a slightly mineral tone on the finish. Bright, vibrant, and unmistakably Marlborough.

California’s most beloved coastal Pinot Noir — Meiomi 2023 is the bottle that never disappoints.

In the hill town of Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of Le Marche, the Meletti family has been crafting their celebrated amaro since the late 19th century. The recipe — a closely guarded secret passed down through generations — draws on the aromatic herbs, roots, and spices of the surrounding countryside, including bitter genziana root native to the region, sweet orange peel, and cloves. The result is one of Italy's most beloved digestivi: balanced, complex, and unmistakably Italian.

The Meletti Liquore Amaro 750ml sits in a beautifully balanced middle ground — neither aggressively bitter nor cloying sweet. The nose is brisk and invigorating, hovering between herbal and medicinal. On the palate, rich caramel and hazelnut flavors take the lead, with just enough bitterness and baking spice to keep things lively and interesting. Traditionally enjoyed neat after a meal, it also adds a distinctive, aromatic depth to cocktails.

Winemaker Description

Ménage à Trois Red Blend brings together three strange bedfellows: Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. To add complexity and retain character, each variety was fermented separately, then blended together prior to bottling. On top you’ve got Zinfandel, a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the relationship. Merlot, with its generous mouthfeel and red fruits, fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal candidate for the bottom layer of the trio.

Forward, silky, and soft, this delicious dalliance makes the perfect accompaniment for grilled meats and chicken.

About Ménage à Trois

Ménage à Trois is produced by Folie à Deux Winery in California’s Napa Valley. The brand was born from a simple but inspired idea: that the best wines are often the result of unexpected partnerships. By blending Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon — three varieties rarely combined — winemaker Glen Salva created a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. Rich, approachable, and unapologetically fun, Ménage à Trois has become one of California’s most beloved red blends, consistently delivering crowd-pleasing fruit and silky texture at an everyday price.

Food Pairings

Grilled burgers, BBQ ribs, roasted chicken, pizza, pasta with meat sauce, mild cheddar, and charcuterie. A crowd-pleasing red that works at any table, any night of the week.
