2014 Chateau Giscours Margaux

The 2014 Giscours has come on leaps and bounds since I tasted it twice in barrel. It is clearly more sophisticated and complex than the du Tertre on the nose. For a start, there is more fruit concentration with red cherries, raspberry and blackcurrant laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with a precise finish that the property never used to be able to offer. This is a lovely Margaux that should drink well for 20 years. $80 (Limited)

2008 Suduiraut Sauternes, Half Bottle

Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau de Suduiraut 2008 has a beautiful, dare I say effortless bouquet that blossoms from the glass with scents of lemon curd, white peach, citrus lemon and limestone. It is very precise, armed with a laser-like focus. The palate is viscous and compelling on the entry and it fans out beautifully across the palate with pure botrytized, honeyed fruit. The acidity slices through this Sauternes like a razorblade and the finish is natural and vibrant. This is a sublime sweet wine that deserves a home in every cellar. $45/375ml

2018 Fess Parker Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

The 2018 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is absolutely delicious. Freshly cut flowers and rush of red berries gives the 2018 striking exuberance.

Served with just a bit of chill or at cellar temperature, it is a superb warm weather wine. $30 Our Price $23.99 (Arrives this afternoon)

A rich, mouthfilling effort, Vieux Donjon's 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is concentrated and velvety, showing plenty of power and weight.

2019 Bera Brachetto Piemonte

Winemaker Notes: A unique wine, cherry red in color, with a characteristic fragrance of fresh flowers and roses long with a slight musky sensation and intenseness of red fruits. Sweet, vivid, fresh with leasant acidity, it explodes on the finish with the same fruity notes felt by the nose, that suggest a good pairing with wild berries, sweets and strawberry parfait, jam tarts and sweets in general. $18 Our Price $15.99
