Hahn Estates SLH PINOT NOIR Monterey Santa Lucia Highlands 2023 750ml
Hahn Estates SLH Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 2023 750ml
Hahn Estates is one of Monterey’s most respected producers, and the SLH bottling is their flagship Pinot Noir — estate-grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands, one of California’s most celebrated cool-climate AVAs. The SLH sits at 1,200–2,200 feet elevation in the mountains above Monterey Bay, where the famous “wind-gap” effect funnels cold Pacific air and morning fog through the valleys each afternoon. The result is a long, slow growing season that builds extraordinary flavor complexity while preserving the bright acidity that makes great Pinot Noir possible.
The 2023 SLH is a standout — generous, deep, and deeply Californian, with a richness of fruit that is beautifully balanced by savory complexity and silky tannins. A clear step up from the standard California tier and a wine that punches well above its price.
"So generous, deep and flavorful, offering crushed raspberry and baked-cherry notes on soft tannins. Savory nuances of black tea, mushrooms and forest floor." — James Suckling, 93 pts. (Vintage 2023).

St. Francis Zinfandel Old Vines Sonoma 2022 750ml
St. Francis Old Vines Zinfandel — Sonoma County, California 2022
St. Francis Winery is one of Sonoma County’s most celebrated producers — a winery whose commitment to old-vine Zinfandel has made it a benchmark name for the variety in California. The 2022 Old Vines Zinfandel is sourced from Sonoma County’s most storied Zinfandel vineyards, where ancient, deeply-rooted vines produce fruit of remarkable concentration, complexity, and character. Bright, lively, and generous, this is a Zinfandel built for immediate pleasure without sacrificing structure — earning a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, 90 Points from VinePair, and 88 Points from Wine Enthusiast, and overdelivering at its price point.
The nose is vibrant and inviting: red raspberry, wild blackberry bramble, cranberry, licorice, and barrel spice, with an abundance of berry aromas. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with roasted plum, cinnamon, and earth, set in a framework of barrel structure with well-integrated tannins and a long, smooth, lingering finish. It is approachable, crowd-pleasing, and deeply satisfying — the kind of old-vine Sonoma Zinfandel that disappears fast at the table.
"Aromas of wild blackberry bramble, licorice and barrel spice dominate the nose. On the palate, flavors of roasted plum, cinnamon and earth sit in a framework of barrel structure that lingers into the finish." — Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast, 88 Points. (Vintage 2022).

Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2021 750ml
Winemaker Description
While the 2021 vintage is defined by concentration and fine tannins often found in warm, dry vintages, it is nuanced by the freshness and liveliness typical of this cool growing region. The balance of elegant, forward profiles from the Bearman Bend Vineyard with the structured, spice-driven qualities from Monument Tree Vineyard come together to create a compelling snapshot of the Anderson Valley. Aromas of ripe wild strawberry rose and cedar on the nose are complemented by supple tannins and a long, lifted finish.
Expert Reviews
James Suckling 93 Points | Nicely deep in black fruit and savory flavors, this well-balanced wine offers excellent focus, depth and length. It’s medium- to full-bodied, moderately tannic and delicious. Stays fresh with good acidity from the first sip to the lingering finish.
Decanter 92 Points | A Pinot Noir blend of grapes from Bearman Bend, the Twomey estate in Anderson Valley, along with Ferrington Vineyard and Monument Tree Vineyard fruit. Lovely, bright, crunchy red fruit, rich cedar spices, dried floral notes, and dusty minerals. Satiny fruit races across the palate, along with plump tannins, electrified by terrific acidity. The fruit concentration is penetrating but never overpowering and is framed by a clove powder and cedarwood dusting on the long finish. Director of Winemaking Justin Hirigoyen has moved the program further away from whole cluster fermentations to avoid too much vintage variation, and readers should expect a consistent fruit-forward, structured style in Twomey's Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

Expert Reviews
Robert Parker 95 Points | Brilliant aromas of black cherries and cassis jump from the glass, as the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Peak Edcora Vineyard bursts with fruit. All Cabernet Sauvignon, from a site that neighbors Stagecoach Vineyard, this is a medium to full-bodied, densely concentrated example of mountain fruit, yet it's one that is not harsh or tough, with well-ripened tannins and a plush, lingering finish. Bravo.
Jeb Dunnuck 94+ Points | All varietal, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Peak Edcora Vineyard is another deep purple-hued wine in the lineup with tons to love. Pure cassis, graphite, leafy herbs, and damp earth-like nuances all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, with beautiful mid-palate depth, ripe, integrated, yet ample tannins, and a great finish. It offers pleasure today, yet I see no reason this shouldn't evolve for 15+ years if well stored. It's another gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon in the vintage.
The Wine Independent 97+ Points | Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Peak Edcora Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon charges out of the gate with bold notions of creme de cassis, blackberry pie, and boysenberry preserves followed by nuances of dark chocolate, camphor, and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with black fruit and savory layers, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering minty note.

Antica Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Townsend Vineyard 2018 1.5 Liter
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018
James Suckling 96 Points | A full-bodied cabernet sauvignon that’s fruity on the nose with notes of crushed raspberries, berries and herbs. Some bark and stones. The palate is fresh with velvety tannins and a generous, savory finish. One for the cellar. Try after 2023.
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points | The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Townsend Vineyard has a similar herbal/classic Cabernet nose of red and black currants, green tobacco, bouquet garni, sandalwood, and spring flowers. Also beautiful on the palate, it’s full-bodied and has a concentrated, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and just an all-around classic, age-worthy style. Give bottles 2-4 years in a cold cellar and enjoy over the following 20 years or more. The blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc.
RouteStock Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2024 750ml
RouteStock · Chardonnay · Sonoma Coast · California · 2024 · 750ml
RouteStock is a Sonoma-based label built around a simple idea: source from the best sites, let the fruit speak, and keep the price honest. The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay draws from two consistent vineyard sources — one in the Petaluma Gap AVA, known for its cool, wind-driven conditions and naturally high acidity, and one located just 1.5 miles from the Pacific coast, where the marine influence is felt in every cluster. The result is a Chardonnay that leans into freshness and precision rather than weight and oak — bright, complex, and genuinely food-friendly. Sealed with a screw cap to preserve every bit of that coastal aromatics. At $23.99, this is Sonoma Coast Chardonnay at a price that makes it a weeknight staple.
Brilliant light straw in the glass with a beguiling, aromatic nose of Gravenstein apple, wild sage, Meyer lemon, and a lift of lemongrass — unmistakably Chardonnay, unmistakably coastal. On the palate: bright and racy, with a beautiful array of apple, tarragon, toasted nuts, and lemongrass, carried by a lovely richness that stays fresh and lifted through a long, lingering finish. Complex, inviting, and vibrant from first pour to last. Pair with roast chicken, grilled halibut, pasta with cream sauce, or a simple plate of soft cheeses.

Green & Red Vineyards Chiles Mill Estate Zinfandel 2023 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2017
93 Points Wine Spectator | A wine that suggests a sense of place, this is refined and just a hint rustic, which adds to the authenticity. Notes of cherry and pomegranate are laced with hints of white pepper and bay leaf. Drink now.

Peter Michael Chardonnay BELLE COTE Knights Valley 2024 750ml
Peter Michael · Chardonnay Belle Côte · Knights Valley · 2024
As the oldest of the four Peter Michael Winery estate Chardonnay blocks, Belle Côte exemplifies the consistent quality of Chardonnay these mountain vineyards produce. Thanks to the naturally cool climate of the site's high elevation, mitigation of exposure to the hot afternoon sun from its southeastern exposure, and a stand of trees on the western border, the vines are allowed to ripen slowly. The growing season for Belle Côte typically extends into October, two to three weeks longer than most Chardonnay vineyards in Napa and Sonoma Counties.
Expert Reviews — Vintage 2024
Jeb Dunnuck, 97 Points — A shade deeper yellow with haze, the 2024 Chardonnay Belle-Côte comes from the oldest 1990 plantings that Helen Turley planted and is the last to finish, from an east-facing gradual slope. The nose of this wine packs in so much intensity and focused energy. Full-bodied, it has oily citrus tension, wet stones, and fabulously structured grip, with almost tannin-like structure adding to the body and acidity. Orange blossom and sherbet tones shine alongside tropical hues and savory almond nuances. It's layered and complex.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94–96 Points — I tasted the 2024 Chardonnay Belle Côte from tank just before it was due to be bottled. It comes from the oldest Chardonnay vines at Peter Michael's Knights Valley Ranch, planted in 1990. Its aromas blossom slowly, segueing from flint and hazelnut to vanilla, panna cotta, papaya and elderflower perfume. The full-bodied palate has a silky texture and pure, expressive flavors, and its new oak is already very well integrated. It's balanced by bright acidity and has a long, nuanced finish.
Vinous, 94 Points — The 2024 Chardonnay Belle Côte is a very pretty mid-weight offering from Peter Michael. It offers up scents of apricot, peach, orange blossom, white flowers and a kiss of French oak. Bright mineral undertones lend energy as they shape the mid-palate and finish. The Belle Côte is the most delicate and ethereal of the Peter Michael Chardonnays. Even so, I would give it a few years in bottle.
Wine Spectator, 94 Points — Elegant and succulent, showcasing ripe melon, nectarine and apricot flavors that are fleshy and juicy on a light, silky frame. Details of wildflower honey, lemon confit and spices including cardamom, nutmeg and white pepper add complexity, as do notes of lemon verbena, lime leaf and sweetgrass. Drink now through 2039.

Seghesio Family Vineyards, Zinfandel Sonoma County Sustainable 2023 750ml
Seghesio Family Vineyards is one of California's most storied Zinfandel producers, with roots in Sonoma County stretching back to 1895 when Edoardo Seghesio planted his first vines in the Alexander Valley. Over more than 125 years, the family has become synonymous with old-vine Zinfandel of exceptional character — wines that honor the grape's Italian heritage while expressing the full power and personality of Sonoma County's diverse terroir. The estate farms sustainably, with a deep commitment to the land and the community that has shaped the Seghesio name for generations.
The Sonoma County Zinfandel is sourced from a blend of estate and grower vineyards across Sonoma County, drawing on the region's varied soils and microclimates to build complexity and depth. Sonoma County's warm days and cool Pacific-influenced nights create ideal conditions for Zinfandel of ripe, concentrated fruit balanced by natural freshness and structure. The wine is produced under certified sustainable farming practices, reflecting Seghesio's long-standing commitment to responsible viticulture.
Vinification follows Seghesio's classic approach: careful fermentation to extract the full depth of the Zinfandel fruit while preserving the variety's characteristic spice and briar character. The wine is aged in oak to develop structure and complexity before blending and bottling.
The 2023 opens with a complex bouquet of blackberry, black currant, plum, cherry, and baking spice, with notes of raspberry, savory anise, and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is lively and full-flavored, with succulent fruit, supple tannins, and a long, gratifying finish with a characteristic snap of briar and pepper. An old-school Zinfandel loaded with zest and personality.

It’s bursting with fresh wildblueberry flavor, rustic and harmonious in its barnyard-scented tannins. This is ready to decant for grilled vegetables or meats. (2020).
Winemaker Description
The 2020 County Line Zinfandel is characterized by powerful fruit and spice aromas balanced by refreshing acidity and herbal complexity. It speaks to both the robust essence of the grape and the nuances of its Sonoma Coast terroir. The wine is vibrant, with scents of nutmeg-spiced blackberry pie and sun-warmed strawberry, elevated by floral earl grey tea. These rich, fruity notes are followed by earthy briar and flint on the palate, with a lively, savory finish. Lingering flavors of cacao nib and rugged leather make for a sophisticated compliment to the voluptuous fruit in the nose. Immediately approachable, this Zinfandel also has depth and layers to entice thoughtful sipping. An ideal pizza pairing, savor a bottle alongside a hearty salsiccia, or a white pizza with roasted zucchini flowers. Winemaker Description.
Beckmen Sauvignon Blanc Santa Ynez Valley 2024 750ml
Beckmen · Sauvignon Blanc · Santa Ynez Valley · 2023
Beckmen Sauvignon Blanc Santa Ynez Valley 2023 brings together vibrant citrus and tropical fruit with a brisk, grassy edge. Guava, lemon peel and mineral notes give this California white its expressive character, while stainless-steel fermentation and aging keep the fruit fresh and focused.
Vineyard & Winemaking
The grapes come from Block 1 of Purisima Mountain Vineyard, where slower ripening allows added hang-time for flavor and textural development. Limestone soils help preserve acidity. Skin contact before pressing adds texture and roundness, balancing the wine’s lively fruit and refreshing style.

Expert Reviews · 2023
Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
This bottling blends the best parts of Sauvignon Blanc into one bottling. The nose mixes that edgy citrus and grass vibe with a wet sidewalk minerality and tropical tones of guava peel and jasmine tea. A clay-like flavor starts the palate, which then shows pineapple, plumeria and guava flavors.
Vinous, 91 Points
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Santa Ynez Valley is a gorgeous wine that showcases the greener, grassier side of the variety. Lemon peel, slate, mint and tomato leaf are all beautifully delineated. This is an especially brisk style for Steve Beckmen. Drinking Window 2024–2026.
Winemaker Description
Beckmen
The grapes for this wine are sourced from Block 1 on Purisima Mountain Vineyard, which tends to ripen slower than most of the Sauvignon Blanc in the region. The added hang-time adds to the flavor and textural development of the finished wine while the limestone soils ensure great acidity.Incorporating skin contact prior to pressing brought another level of texture and roundness to the vintage; the wine is kept fresh by fermenting and aging in stainless steel, showcasing vibrant tropical and citrus fruit aromas and flavors.
Pairing Suggestions
Try with goat cheese, citrus-dressed salads, grilled shrimp or herb-roasted chicken to complement the wine’s citrus, herbal notes and bright acidity.

The 2022 Cuvée Le Bec brings Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise together in a savory, fruit-forward red. The critic notes below find dark berries, purple flowers, pepper and spice, with enough structure for the table now or some time in the cellar.
Expert reviews · 2022 vintage
Vinous, 93 Points — The 2022 Cuvée Le Bec is the 25th vintage of this bottling. It's a fantastic entry-level Rhône blend. Dark, sumptuous fruit, savory minerality, tobacco and a floral air join together in a layered, harmonious profile. Structured enough to age, yet irresistibly delicious today the 2022 is a standout in this range.
Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points, Editors' Choice — This lighter bodied Rhône blend is always a refreshing crowd pleaser, perfect for a wide range of fare. Aromas of purple flower, smoked meat and thyme show on the nose, while the palate's mix of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise shows plum and pepper flavors.
Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points — Based on 52% Syrah, 33% Grenache, 12% Mourvèdre, and 3% Counoise, the 2022 Cuvée Le Bec was 90% destemmed with 10% whole clusters and brought up in stainless steel tanks. Darker berries, peppery herbs, and some Southern Rhône-like spice all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has terrific purity of fruit, and a charming, delicious style. California's answer to a great Côtes du Rhône.

Illumination by Quintessa · Sauvignon Blanc · 2025 · 750ml
Illumination 2025 combines layered citrus and tropical fruit with a rich mid-palate and a long line of saline acidity.

Producer & Style
A passion project of the Huneeus family, Illumination is approached with the same care and attention as Quintessa, aiming for aromatic complexity, beautiful texture and harmony. This California Sauvignon Blanc balances generous fruit with the saline mineral character singled out in the 2025 review.
Expert Review · Vintage 2025
Decanter · 97 Points
Very expressive bouquet running the gamut from lemon and lime-bright citrus fruit to creamy apple and pear, with notes of apricot and hints of pineapple, mango and guava, along with a savoury note of anise. On the attack, one thing is clear: this is a seriously layered, complex Sauvignon Blanc. Its rich mid-palate weight and long, exacting through-line of saline acidity – particularly pronounced in 2025 – are striking. All that fruit in the bouquet really pops and melds together seamlessly on the palate, as the wine retains optimum freshness into the very long, viscous, fruity finish. That saline mineral character makes this one of the best food-friendly vintages of Illumination I’ve tasted.
Expert Reviews · Previous Vintage 2024
Wine Spectator · MaryAnn Worobiec · 94 Points · Vintage 2024
Fragrant, effusive and charming, with notes of honeysuckle and orange blossoms up front giving way to a creamy mix of mango, orange sherbet and lemon curd. Spicy accents of candied ginger, litsea oil and salted, preserved lemon join a drizzle of wildflower honey and linger on the long, impressive finish. Drink now through 2036. 5,000 cases made.
The Wine Advocate · Joe Czerwinski · 93 Points · Vintage 2024
Quintessa's 2024 Illumination blends fruit from Napa (55%) and Sonoma (45%). As usual, there's a decent-sized dollop of old-vine Sémillon (14% this year) in the blend, with the rest of the fruit being Sauvignon Blanc—roughly one-third of that is the more aromatic Musqué clone. Fermented and raised in a variety of vessels, including new and old French oak barrels, acacia barrels, stainless steel drums and concrete eggs, it offers up enticing scents of pencil shavings, lemon zest, grapefruit and fig. Plump and medium-bodied in the mouth, it boasts a fine line of acidity from start to finish, giving the fruit a spine to play against and prolonging the concentrated, citrusy finish.
The blend percentages, vessel details, production figure and drinking window in these historical reviews describe 2024, not the 2025 bottle.
Further Winemaker Notes ·
What started as a passion project for the Huneeus family, this limited bottling is one of Napa Valley's most sought-after Sauvignon Blancs. When making Illumination our ultimate goal is to produce a white wine of true character. We approach Illumination with the same care and attention as with Quintessa, with the aim of capturing the best qualities of our grapes and to craft a wine of harmony and balance. Illumination is alive with aromatic complexity, beautiful texture and bright fruit flavors. This is an incredible vintage and the perfect summer wine that pairs with a variety of appetizers and seafood.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Try with seared scallops, grilled fish, citrus-dressed shellfish or appetizers with fresh herbs. Its combination of rich texture and saline freshness offers room for dishes with a little cream or butter.
