- Dom d'Eole Coteaux d'Aix En Provence Cuvee Lea 2003 Product #20380 (In Stock)
-
-
This blend of Grenache and Syrah is aged in small barrels and pushes the quality limit of wines from Provence to new heights. It combines the red fruit of Grenache, the Rhone-like spiciness of Syrah and the typical wild herb flavors of Provencal wines. Taste it blind and you’d think the 2003 Cuvee Lea was an excellent 2001 Chateauneuf or very strong 2006 Gigondas. It’s delicious right now – try it with roasted meats, rich cheeses, or stews of olive and lamb – and still has another 7+ years to go. Stunning value while it lasts.
"Richer and deeper than the 2004 version, this shows an abundance of black cherry fruit, but also layers of spicy, savory complexity. Dominated by old-vine Grenache, it could easily be mistaken for a Lirac or Châteauneuf-du-Pape."Wine Enthusiast 91 points
- Guillon Cremant De Bourgogne Blanc De Noirs Product #20934 (In Stock)
-
-
Produced with 100% Pinot Noir from the great vineyards of Chambole-Musigny, this sparkling wine has fine bubbles with a superb presence of fresh berries. This well-balanced wine shows the exquisite character of the Pinot Noir grape with good earthy expressions and a long, lingering finish. It's delicious and a stunning value!
- Conceito Vintage Port 2007 Product #23267 (In Stock)
-
-
The 2007 Port vintage is shaping up as a beauty, so it's no surprise that Rita Ferreria Marques had delivered an exciting wine. A touch more polished than the powerful 2005 Vintage, we agree with Wine Advocate - this is "a sleeper of the vintage" and great value, too!
"The purple-colored 2007 Conceito Vintage Port offers up an attractive perfume of mineral, pencil lead, blackberry, and black currants. This leads to an elegantly styled wine with excellent volume, depth, and grip. It has enough structure to evolve for a decade along with layers of savory fruit for balance. This lengthy effort will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2027. It is a sleeper of the vintage. As an aside, Jonas Gustafson, the importer, has an outstanding Spanish portfolio so it is not a surprise to me that he has uncovered this little-known producer." Wine Advocate 90 points
- Guillon Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru La Riotte 2008 Product #23794 (In Stock)
-
-
Burghound “Sweet Spot Outstanding”
Always Jean-Michel’s most forward, silky, and even “sexy” wine, the 2008 bursts from the glass with gorgeous red fruit and spice aromas. Then, wonderfully giving in the mouth with fine weight and balance. The best of these for drinking near-term, but with plenty of cellar potential.
“A different and redder but even riper fruit profile leads to rich, round and overtly generous mineral-infused middle weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration and excellent length. This is a lovely combination of power and finesse. Sweet Spot Outstanding.”Allen Meadows 89-92 points
- Finca Valldosera Cava Brut Nature NV Product #23944 (In Stock)
-
-
The price-quality-ratio here is just absurd. Toasty and yeasty on the nose then fantastically complex apple and golden fruit flavors with plenty of yeast/bread dough flavors. Stunning levels of fruit for a no-dosage wine and the kind of creamy, silky, texture normally only found in $40 Champagne. Super friendly, you can drink this like Prosecco if you like, but it's more than sophisticated enough to warrant close attention.
"Finca Valldosera is a boutique producer (5000 cases total production) of high-class Cava. All three of the above Cavas are Brut Nature meaning they have received zero dosage. The Non-Vintage Brut Nature is a blend of 45% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeo, 10% Parellada, 10% Chardonnay, and 5% Subirat Parent with 10% of the Xarel-lo barrel-fermented and aged. The wine remained sur lie for 24 months and was hand-riddled. It offers up an enticing nose of brioche, smoked nuts, and assorted white fruits. Displaying small persistent bubbles, a smooth texture, and excellent balance, this tasty Cava over-delivers in a big way."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Claar Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Product #24177 (In Stock)

-
A beautifully bright wine that delivers loads of delicious citrus and young melon. Aromas of soft grapefruit and kiwi swirl in the glass, and flavors of crisp green apple and lemon zest make this a perfect wine for seafood and salads.
- Dom Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux 2008 Product #24380 (In Stock)
-
-
Planted in 1930, Fourrier’s plot sits directly under Charmes-Chambertin on the border with Morey St. Denis. This reminds one of Chambolle, with spicy red fruits and a rich, round, texture. Lovely.
"Fourrier’s 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux (from nearly 90 year-old vines) is intensely scented with kirsch, herbs, and sea spray, which adumbrate its bright, saline, firm but not hard or angular palate impression. Strong cherry pit, stone, and charred meat notes lend this energetic but athletically lean and bright Gevrey a hint of austerity, but it has me salivating uncontrollably. For those who like the style and pair the wine creatively, this should give plenty of pleasure over at least the next 6-8 years, though as Fourrier is eager to concur with me, following the course of 2008s in bottle is bound to mean venturing into relatively uncharted territory."Wine Advocate 89 points
“An intensely, even pungently earthy nose of red and dark berry fruit is very much in keeping with the firm, precise and layered flavors that possess a lovely sense of relief and tension on the solidly long finish. This is very Gevrey in character and offers fine quality for a villages. Drink 2013+”Allen Meadows 87-90 points
- Dom Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vignes 2008 Product #24381 (In Stock)
-
-
A bit of a misnomer, since Fourrier sells all of the fruit he grows from vines less than 30 years old. The VV comes from the northern end of Gevrey and is always dense and solid with loads of strawberry fruit and a firm finish. A fascinating contrast to the Aux Echezaux and, drunk alongside it, a nice demonstration of terroir.
“Palish red. Captivating, expressive aromas of cherry, smoke, mocha and underbrush; slightly exotic in a positive way. Sweet on entry, then sappy in the middle, thanks to firm acidity and a saline quality. Complex, soil-driven wine but not at all dry.”International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Bzikot Puligny Montrachet Cuvee De La Maison 2010 Product #24384 (In Stock)
-
-
"Cuvee de la Maison" - the blend of the House - is two barrels of Puligny Montrachet Doug selected from 9 Sylvain Bzikot made in 2010 from the fine Les Petites Nosroyes vineyard. From first opening, generous aromas of lemon curd, grilled pineapple, apricot, fresh butter, toasted nut, crushed mint, and a light touch of toasted oak. In the mouth, the perfect balance of richness, minerality, and cut that we love in top white Burgundy. The palate has the wonderful transparency critics are raving about in 2010, with pure flavors of lemon, golden apple, tangy pineapple, chervil and mint, and wet stones. The aromas and flavors are all about purity and balance, but there’s a sneaky richness here and the weight of a top 1er Cru. I love everything about the wine, but I’m most excited about the finish, which is just fantastically long and pure and mouthwatering as the lemon curd, pineapple, grilled nut, butter, and mineral flavors go on and on and on.
This is a baby today, and if you decant it (or wait a few years in cellar), you’ll find greater depths of flavor, more richness, and a growing sense of power to go with the precise, almost translucent, flavors and palate sense. What you won’t find is a heavy sense of oak, because even though this wine was raised in two brand new (if lightly toasted) French oak barrels, the concentrated fruit Sylvain farmed in the Les Petites Nosroyes vineyard has gobbled up the wood and shines through with freshness, precision, and verve. I love this stuff, and hope you will too. - Andrea Oberto Barolo Rocche 2006 Product #24547 (In Stock)
-
-
“This is a strong set of 2006 Barolos from father and son team Andrea and Fabio Oberto. I had a chance to taste the 2006s next to the estate’s 2005s, and it is pretty clear the 2006s possess an extra dimension of generosity over their older brethren that, among other things, results in better integration of the oak.
The 2006 Barolo Vigneto Rocche is the alter-ego of the Brunate. Where the Brunate is powerful the Rocche is refined, where the Brunate is intense, the Rocche is subtle. Floral red fruits, menthol and minerals are some of the notes that emerge from this high-toned, aromatic Barolo. The aromas and flavors seem to resonate off each other like voices in a cathedral, creating a sensation of endless discovery as the wine opens up in the glass. The structure of the vintage comes through on the energetic, vibrant finish. Here, too, patience is key, but this is shaping up to be another magnificent Barolo from Oberto. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.”Wine Advocate 93+ points
"Large-scaled, chewy and sweet on the palate; bigger and deeper than the 2005, with impressive depth of fruit and sheer volume. Finishes with huge chewy tannins that saturate every millimeter of the palate, but this infant appears to have the fullness and breadth to support its structure."International Wine Cellar 92 points
- Paraiso Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 2009 Product #24687 (In Stock)
-
-
The 2009 growing season consisted of high winds, dry days, and bay fogs to create a cool, but very long, growing season. These growing conditions are ideal for cool-climate grapes such as Pinot Noir, and lead to full, forward fruit flavors and ideal acidity. The 2009 Estate Pinot Noir is a fine example of clonal diversity coming together in one wine. The focus is decidedly Burgundian, with flavors of raspberry, cherry and wild berries, good acidity, and a nice French oak complexity.
- Dom Thibert Pouilly Fuisse Vignes Blanches 2008 Product #24753 (In Stock)
-
-
Everything takes a big step up in this single vineyard wine from one of Thibert’s two best sites. The Burghound review captures this well – rich, complex, and loaded with driving minerality. Outstanding
“Moderate wood doesn't detract from the otherwise fresh, bright and expressive nose that offers up white orchard fruit aromas, subtle spice hints and floral notes that precede rich, sappy and admirably pure flavors that possess plenty of acid buffering dry extract and excellent length as well as notably more complexity. Sweet Spot/Outstanding”Allen Meadows 89-92 points
- Clua Mas D'en Pol Negre 2010 Product #24898 (In Stock)
-
-
Xavier Clua does it again! The newest release of this unaoked red from Terra Alta is better than ever. On the nose it shows dark black plum and super-ripe black raspberry fruit with a hint of earth - reminiscent of a first class Ribera del Duro. It's medium bodied and fresh on the attack with black raspberry fruit, some crisp sweet cherry, and a little blood orange citrus element. The fruit is sweet and ripe but stays fresh, not jammy or overripe. The finish shows more raspberry and a dash of black cherry with some sweet spice and fine, ripe, tannin. You can drink this today simply for the fruit and freshness or give it a little time (a year or two) to gain even more complexity Not a blockbuster at all, but easy as pie to drink! A blend of 50% Garnatxa Negra, 20% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Bodegas Laukote Rioja Vendimia Seleccionada 2008 Product #24899 (In Stock)
-
-
Norberto Miguel only makes this, his top wine, in selected vintages of exceptional ripeness and quality. It’s from 80+ year-old Tempranillo vines planted by Norberto’s grandfather and grown on the rocky, barren, soils of Rioja Alavesa. This is just about the perfect marriage between Rioja tradition and modern winemaking sensibility. The aromas are starting to unfurl, with brooding dark black raspberry and plum fruit and baking spice swirling in the glass. In the mouth it’s powerful and full with loads of dark black fruit, purple flower, and iron minerality. The oak treatment is perfect here, giving spice and complexity but not overwhelming the wine. Decant now or give it a few years to unwind – I’m drinking the 2005 at home right now, and it’s got another 5 years or so improvement in front of it!
"The 2008 Vendimia Seleccionada is also 100% Tempranillo sourced from 80+ year old vines and aged in French and American oak for 14 months. Aromas of balsam wood, tobacco, spice box, rose petal, and blackberry inform the nose of a ripe, sweetly-fruited, concentrated wine with a sense of elegance. Give this lengthy effort another 1-2 years of bottle age and drink it from 2013 to 2023." Wine Advocate 91 points
- Ch Husson Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Saumades 2009 Product #25033 (In Stock)
-
-
A hand-crafted, small-production Chateauneuf-du-Pape selected by Olivier Daubresse from an up-and-coming estate. Anne and Jean-Pierre Hugues purchased this neglected estate before the 2008 harvest and are rapidly moving to make it a first-rate producer worthy of its excellent terroir. The 2009 Les Saumades – a blend of 95% old vine Grenache and 5% Syrah – is the first wine crafted entirely by the new regime.
Definitely a young wine still, but already delivering loads of pleasure and even more promise. Opens with a relaxed, sweet nose of crushed ripe raspberries, cherry liqueur, and lemon thyme and warm galets (the rounded stones littering the Chateauneuf-du-Pape vineyard). Wonderfully pure and focused in the mouth with sweet Grenache raspberry/strawberry fruit, thyme and lavender herb, and a touch of fresh earth (from the Syrah). Then expanding rapidly on the back to a sweet, pure fruit finish supported by fine minerality and sweet, ripe, tannins.
This expresses everything I love about the most successful Rhone reds of the excellent 2009 vintage. More than enough sweet, ripe, generous fruit to enjoy now – even by itself! – but with the focus and structure to shine with rich foods and grilled meats and to develop well for a decade or so. A very fine example of Chateauneuf-du-Pape at a price not much higher than prestige Cotes-du-Rhone!
- Ch Husson Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Saintes Vierges 2008 Product #25034 (In Stock)
-
-
When Anne and Jean-Pierre Hugues purchased Ch Husson during the 2008 growing season, they decided to focus much of their energy for 2008 on the estate’s top wine, the cuvee Les Saintes Veirges. They elected to make a serious bottle of Chateauneuf, a blend of 60% old-vine Mourvedre for structure and earthy complexity and just 40% Grenache for sweetness and flesh. Because of the high Mourvedre content, they elected to age the wine in mainly new French oak barrels.
The result in the difficult 2008 vintage is a resounding success! Dark, dark, aromas of black raspberries, damp earth, licorice and baking spice waft from the glass. In the mouth, definitely fuller and richer than Les Saumaudes, loaded with ripe black plum, spicy black raspberry, licorice root, violets, and earthy spice. Firm and powerful on the finish with darkly raspy Mourvedre tannin and a touch of oak spice keeping the wine in balance. This was very fine when I tasted it at the estate in January, but it’s already opened and gobbled up much of the wood notes in just a few months time. Decant and enjoy with rich foods now or give it 3-4 years to soften the tannins and completely absorb the oak.
- Pierre Paillard Bouzy Grand Cru Brut Nv 375ml Product #25072 (In Stock)
-
-
Coming from a very storied tradition of Bouzy Champagne producers, the Pierre Paillard Brut is one of the softest, prettiest Champagnes we've found in a long time. A blend of '06/'07 vintage Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chard fruit, Brut is has amazing aromas of fresh yellow pear and chalky mineral. The palate will blow you away with green apple and one of the softest textures you ever tasted. The wine finishes with flavors of soft cashews and genty caramalized pears.
"(60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, from Bouzy; based on 2007, with 20% reserve wine from 2006) Light, bright yellow. Ripe pear and redcurrant aromas are complicated by rose oil, anise and toasty lees. A hefty, palate-coating Champagne that offers pliant orchard fruit flavors and a touch of orange marmalade. Finishes smooth and broad, with very good sappy persistence. I'd serve this broad-shouldered Champagne with a richly sauced poultry dish or strong cheeses."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Agricola Punica Montessu Isola Dei Nuraghi IGT 2009 Product #25117 (In Stock)
-
-
Having first invented the “super Tuscan” at Sassacaia and then demonstrated the top variations on the theme at Tignanello, Solaia, and Solengo, Giacomo Tachis began looking for new challenges. Somehow, Tachis came across a wine from Sardinia made mainly from Carignano (Carignan). The man who showed the world that Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot could thrive in Tuscany now had a new mission – to prove that Sardinian Carignano could rival the best of Priorat or France’s Languedoc.
Tachis recruited the owners of Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia) and Sardinia’s top winery, Cantina di Santadi, to create Agricola Puncia in Sardinia’s Isola dei Nuraghi region. Montessu is the estate’s more accessible wine, a blend of 60% Carignano and 10% each Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It needs a big swirl to unlock the aromas now, but shows blue/black fruit, smoke, tar and licorice aromas and flavor that will just expand with air or time. Balanced and silky smooth at first before the firm mineral and smoke elements well up from underneath. Tasty on its own and sure to please with reach braises and grilled lamb! - Joseph Phelps Insignia Proprietary Red 2008 Product #25155 (In Stock)
-
-
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Insignia is a towering, statuesque wine bursting with blackberry jam, tar, spices, leather and licorice. It shows fabulous depth and richness backed up by serious, imposing tannins that suggest it has a long life. Ideally, the 2008 should be purchased by those who can be patient; it is not a wine for those seeking immediate gratification. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038."Wine Advocate 97 points

Always one of the Rhone's best, the 2009 VT is something special. Air it out now or cellar for a decade.
"This is crammed with fruit, spice and structure, as braised fig, plum skin, cassis and anise notes wrestle with roasted apple wood, melted red licorice and tar for now. The embedded grip should carry the finish until this assimilates fully. Best from 2014 through 2024."Wine Spectator 94 points
"(65% grenache, 15% each of mourvedre and syrah, and the rest all the other varieties; aged in a combination of foudres and concrete): Bright ruby. Intense red fruit and potpourri aromas show excellent precision and a suave, spicy character. Licorice and lavender nuances add complexity to juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, with the wine putting on weight in the glass. Finishes taut and youthfully tangy, with echoing licorice and spice notes."International Wine Cellar 93 points
