Vinous Reverie NotesA tiny production of less than 130 cases per year, the grapes are harvested from the steep volcanic hillsides of the Mayacamas Mountain range in Napa.  A  50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with...

99 Falstaff"Complex aroma on the nose with roasted nuts, raw cocoa and dried dark fruits. Looks extremely elegant and fresh. Dense, piquant, somewhat salty on the palate, spicy notes of lovage and dried herbs, well integrated, noticeable roasted notes...

92 points Decanter"Velvet texture and bright, cool, complex dark and cherry fruit, rich and harmonious, buoyed up by sing-song acidity and fine tannins." Jancis Robinson"Subtle confected fruit on the nose, fully loaded palate with weight and fragrance...

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2017 Alsace Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Riesling fermented very quickly and offers a pure and flinty note on the intense but (certainly) still reductive nose. Lush and juicy on the palate, this...

95 points James Suckling"Lovely depth of fruit and richness here with dark-chocolate, berry and spicy undertones. Full body, soft and polished tannins and a long finish. A superb wine. Fantastic." 93 points Wine Spectator"Rich aromas of smoke, spice and...

98 points James SucklingThis is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao...

98 points James Suckling"This is another great Saffredi following the perfect 100-point 2012. I tasted it a year ago and thought it was sensational. Even better now. It's so dense and structured yet shows a lively, jazz-like vibe that gives it form and...

100 points Wine & Spirits"If a wine could ever make you want to pull the top down on your '68 Ferrari convertible, rip off the rearview mirror and take off, this is it. It has a different kind of energy than the '02 Cristal Rosé, which is more...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Even better, the 2016 Condrieu Les Chaillees de l'Enfer is vinified and aged in 25% new French oak (it’s made in the same fashion as the Coteau de Vernon). It would probably be the wine of the vintage if it wasn’t for...

96 points Wine Spectator"Gorgeous, with a core of raspberry and plum pâte de fruit flavors spilling forth in wave after wave, but still harnessed in the end by deeply embedded acidity and racy graphite notes. The finish is fueled by extra singed...

Karen MacNeil - The Wine Bible"As structured, powerful, and impeccably balanced as a First Growth Bordeaux, the Ridge Monte Bello cabernet sauvignons are majestic wines. Opening one from a great vintage when it's young is almost criminal, for while the...

98 points Decanter"Bright and floral on the nose. The tannins are extremely fine, almost imperceptible, but very much present, giving the wine a strong base for long ageing. It's perfectly balanced, long and deep, resulting in a rich but surprisingly...
