Ridge
"East Bench" Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2018
92/100 - Wine Spectator (6/30/2020)
93/100 - Jeb Dunnuck (5/21/2020) "All Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley, the 2018 Zinfandel East Bench offers up a great, pure, medium to full-bodied style that carries lots of classic spice, brambly herbs, incense, and plum-laced fruits. Nicely balanced, structured, and with solid length, this terrific Zinfandel will be even better with a year in bottle and keep for a decade." (California)
 
Charles Smith
"Substance" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
91/100 - Jeb Dunnuck (4/15/2020) "I loved the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cs, which ranks with the finest releases to date for this cuvée. Classy cassis fruits, lead pencil, and tobacco notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannin, integrated oak, and a great finish. It makes a mockery of just about every other Cabernet Sauvignon in this price range. Buy a case and enjoy over the coming 4-6 years, probably longer. Maturity 2020 - 2027." (Washington)
 
Bodega Virgen de la Sierra
"OGV" Calatayud Old Vines Garnacha 2016
Dense, juicy and fun, this top-seller from Calatayud is a slam dunk choice for any-night-of-the-week enjoyment!
88/100 - Our Score (8/2019)
93/100 - James Suckling (8/2/2018) "Enveloping nose of blue fruit and impressive concentration on the palate of this expressive garnacha. Lovely, creamy texture, in spite of a healthy dose of tannin, the long finish leaves you in no doubt. Drink or hold." (Spain)
 
Giant Steps
Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2018
94/100 - Wine Spectator (5/6/2020) "Stunningly precise, vivid and mouthwatering, with a hint of butterscotch to the lemon curd, pear and mango flavors. Intense and juicy, finishing fresh and vibrant. Details of white tea and roasted hazelnut emerge on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 350 cases imported." (Australia)
 
Can Feixes
"Blanc Seleccio" Penedes 2019
90/100 - Our Score (5/2020) We absolutely love this wine! We've been buying this distinctive cuvée in the tall green bottles  from Can Feixes  for over 20 years, and it is as delicious as ever. Made from a certified organically grown blend of Parellada (locally, Montonec), Macabeo, Chardonnay and Malvasía de Sitges, this crisp, dry white is citrusy and completely refreshing, with a wonderful  salty minerality at its core. This 12% ABV wine has a very lively palate and an impressively rich texture. Excellent as an apertif, and will perform with great versatility at the table. (France)
 
Les Hauts de Milly
Chablis 2018
91/100 - Our Score (4/2020) From the warm 2018 vintage, this Chablis offers plump mouth richness along with super yummy ripe orchard and citrus fruits and an underlying theme of minerality. Nicely balanced with classic high acidity and tension, it offers a bit more weight and "oomph" than you'd find in a cooler vintage. A delicious bottle of Burgundy, and a steal at this price. (France)
 
Domaine Perrault-Jadaud
"Les Grives Soules" Vouvray 2017
91+/100 - Our Score (7/2019) Nervy, subtle and classic, this Vouvray delivers delicious Chenin Blanc flavors of white rock, white tea, spring flowers, red apple, green apple and baked citrus along with medium-plus acidity and a chalky finish. Try with a fresh goat cheese and balsamic drizzled heirloom tomato salad. (France)
 
Fanti
Rosso di Montalcino 2018
89+/100 - Our Score (2/2020) This "Baby Brunello" Rosso di Montalcino from Fanti gives classic tart red berry and grainy earth flavors that sit atop a taut, mineral core. A great food wine, this authentic red will transport you to the rolling hills of southern Tuscany with each sip. (Italy)
 
Le Clos d'Augustin
Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2016
88+/100 - Our Score (3/2020) Did you think the days of quality $14.99 Bourgogne Rouge were long gone? Try this authentic and charming Pinot Noir crafted by the team at Cave de Bissey in the Chalonnaise region of Southern Burgundy. Lean and taut, with real red fruit and earth flavors, it will do the trick when you're looking for a wine that tastes like Burgundy but is priced like it's from Chile. A great find! (France)
 
Bodegas Vetus
"Flor de Vetus" Toro Red 2016
90/100 - James Suckling (8/2/2018)
90/100 - Wine Advocate (8/31/2018) "I liked the 2016 Flor de Vetus, the entry-level red, which shows good freshness, varietal character and integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied, with some creamy flavors and a soft texture. A crowd-pleaser." (Spain)
 
J. Mourat
"Collection" (Owl) Val de Loire Rose 2019
90/100 - Our Score (5/2020) The 2019 "Owl" Rose from Loire master Jeremie Mourat is lovely. Blending Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, this tasty and fresh pink gives flavors of taut red fruits, light floral tones, just ripe green herb and lifted mineral themes. Delicious. (France)
 
Paltrinieri
"Radice" Lambrusco di Sorbara 2018
This pink sparkler took home the #18 spot on Wine Enthusiast's "Top 100" list!
90/100 - Our Score (3/2020)
95/100 - Wine Enthusiast (12/31/2019) "One of the best Lambruscos out there, this delicious, vibrant wine opens with enticing scents of wild red berry, yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom and a yeasty, comforting whiff of pastry dough. Made by carrying out the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the dry, delicious palate delivers pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and tangerine alongside crisp acidity and a saline note." (Italy)
