Wine Reviews

Deep, dark, ruby red color. The nose is wonderfully intense with scents of red cherry upfront followed by notes of plum, wild raspberry, and blackberry compote with accents of blueberry skins, mince meat, rich earth, and mineral. The palate echoes the nose delivering a dense and chewy fruit-driven core with layers of juicy and dried fruits that linger on toward a rustic finish with moderate tannins. Medium to full-bodied with ultra dense fruit while being perfectly balanced with a bright dose of acidity that keeps it fresh and vibrant. $25 – 4 Stars - 91 points

Deepest, darkest, ruby red color. The nose is packed full with ripe, sweet red and black berries with a dash of tart berries to add interest. The jammy fruit is supported by a generous dose of brown baking spices, dark chocolate, cigar, and hints of charred, sweet oak. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a lush but ideally balanced fruit core flanked by waves of spice, cigar box, and subtle oak notes. Full-bodied and certainly jammy with enough vibrant acidity to keep it fresh with structured but firm tannins. $17 – 4 Stars - 91 points

The palate faithfully follows the nose delivering a bright, citrus focus with layers of grass, herbs, and silky tropical fruits that become more generous as the wine slightly warms. Medium-bodied with perfect balance with subtle lingering citrus notes. Made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc. $17 – 4 Stars - 91 points

Deep, ruby red color. The nose explodes with the scents of violets, raspberry, plum, and black cherry with accents of star anise, fresh sweet herbs, tomato jam, and hints of oak and vanilla.

Deepest, densest ruby to purple color. The nose is just as dense as the color offering scents of ripe black fruits with a generous dose of earth and mineral, cigar box, cassis, dark roast coffee beans, and oak. The palate echoes the nose delivering a concentrated black fruit core with layers of spice, earth, and oak cask with thick and chewy tannins rising on the finish. This is a big wine, full-bodied to be sure with generous fruit and spice notes enveloped with firm and chewy tannins that nearly require a fork. $50 – 4 Stars - 93 points

Bright, semi-deep ruby red color. The nose is quite pleasing and complex with fruit in the lead offering scents of red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberries with supporting notes of mineral, dried herbs, allspice, nutmeg, and wood. The palate echoes the nose delivering a fruit core that's more tart than sweet with layers of red fruits with earth, and brown baking spices and cloncluding with oak. Medium to full-bodied with ideal balance with a vibrant dose of acidity and trailing spice accents. $25 – 4 Stars - 90 points

Bright, ruby red color. The nose is quite dry with tart, dried red berries in the lead with generous doses of earth, cigar box, and saddle leather with hints of oak and spice. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a rich tart fruit core with flanking notes of brown spice, and earth with accents of sour cherry and trailing black pepper. This is a full-bodied and sturdy Pinot with a firm but approachable structure and ideal balance with a vibrant dose of acidity. $32 – 4 Stars - 90 points

Deepest, darkest ruby red veering toward purple. After aerating (you must decant this wine) the true aromatics emerge offering scents of red and black cherry, plum, and blueberry with waves of heather, wild herbs, allspice, anise, and hints of vanilla bean. The palate absolutely confirms the fruit signature of the nose with subtle forest floor and smoked bacon notes joining the chorus. The spice signature builds on the finish with black pepper lingering for minutes. This is a rich and chewy wine with perfect balance so it never feels heavy or brooding. Subtle, soft tannins rise on the back-palate to offer structure and length. $65 – 4 Stars - 91 points

Beautiful pale golden color with dozens of legs streaming down the glass. The aromatics leap from the glass offering a complex melange ranging from wild flowers to citrus, tropical, and stone fruits with a brilliant mineral edge. Delivers waves of ripe and semi-tart tropical and orchard fruits with candied ginger, mint, and exotic Asian spice notes. Like all great Alsace Grand Cru wines this one offers seductive, rich flavors while never losing its vibrancy. $25 – 4 Stars - 91 points
