Rubus Brut Blanc de Blanc, France – 90 Points I-Winereview.com "This is an easy drinking, fresh and flavorful bubbly. Pear and grapefruit pith show on the nose, while the palate is crisp and nicely balanced. A bubbly for fun times. A blend of 30% Ugni Blanc, 30% Airen, 30% Colombard,  and 10% Chardonnay; RS 10 g/L Exceptional value." 

 

Castlebrae Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand – 91 Points Decanter World Wine Awards 2023. “Gooseberry, grass and green bean aromatics with some fleshy tropical moments; lean and linear with an excellent drive of acidity." 

 

Encostas du Lima Granite Vinho Verde, Portugal – This special project from the Adega Ponte de Lima highlights the diverse soils of the Vinho Verde region.

The wine takes its gentle, onion skin color from a short period of skin contact and does not go through malolactic fermentation.

On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a nice bounce from its non-malo personality, good soil undertow and grip and a long, poised and well-balanced finish. This is quite tasty.

 

Vina Jaraba Seleccion Especial la Jaraba D.O.P. 2020 – 92 Points Wine Review Online. "Silky and marvelously graceful for all the flavor and pleasure that it delivers, this is obviously well-made wine sourced from skillfully grown fruit. Nearly full-bodied but very soft in texture, this is what — for most consumers and especially restaurant guests — Merlot was supposed to be but never quite was, and what Malbec was for a while before it wore out its welcome with many tasters. A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot, this shows both red and black fruit tones but leans more toward black fruit. It is serious without being stern, as wonderfully fine tannins and reserved oak make this extremely inviting already, though it can stand up to formidable foods and become much more complex as tertiary notes build in over the next decade. "

Donna Laura Bramosia Chianti Classico DOCG – 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot. With a deep ruby color and intense aromas of cherry and red berry, this Chianti Classico balances ripe fruit and acidity with notes of spice. A great match with roasted meats and flavorful pastas, this wine is also delicious to sip on its own without food. 

Maison Noir In Sheep's Clothing Cabernet Sauvignon – 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit for this wine comes from Columbia Valley - 60% from the Red Mountain AVA and 40% from the Wahluke Slope. The name is a hat tip to Alonzo Harris: "to protect the sheep, you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf."  After fermentation, the wine spends 10 months aging in barrel, 25% of which is new French oak. 2,500 cases are produced. In Sheep's Clothing delivers a ripeness of fruit flavors while preserving the acidity that gives the medium to full-bodied wine a sense of freshness. With layers of cassis, blueberries, and black cherries, this wine lends to a New World style of fruit with more of an Old World structure with a hint of wood smoke. This wine fully embraces an integral part of classic Cabernet Sauvignon by highlighting a complex blend of dried herbs: anise, thyme and bay leaf.
