“The 2013 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard hits the palate with a rush of dark red fruit, iron, smoke, licorice and game. Intense, ripe and juicy, the Ferrington captures the personality of this Anderson Valley site in spades.”

“The 2013 Pinot Noir Toboni Vineyard shows the punchier, racier wines in the range. Succulent black cherry, plum, menthol, spice and new leather flesh out. Drink this forward, flamboyant Pinot over the next handful of years.”

"... another impressive effort from Cogno, offering aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, fragrant flowers, underbrush and menthol. The firm, precise palate offers dried black cherry, cinnamon, anise ... set against a tannic backbone and brisk acidity."

"Named after the Laroche winery, L’Obédiencerie, this wine is a selection from the Blanchots Grand Cru vineyard. It is rich, but endowed with a taut minerality that cuts through the ripe green plum and crisp pear flavors."

Wine Enthusiast

"… this wine conveys roses and black tea, along with a woodsy, truffle-like character. While powerfully round and soft, it offers elegance in abundance, alongside a swatch of fresh-dug earth and a thick finish of forest floor."

Wine Enthusiast

"From the Lovall Valley section of the Napa Valley … this lovely wine is awash in tropical mango, with lilts of pear and vanilla. Creamy, it’s made in a fuller-bodied style ... offering balance and elegance, finishing with a squeeze of grapefruit."
Chêne Bleu
Aliot, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse – 2011
Wine & Spirits
90 points, Year’s Best Rhone Wines
“The fruit stands up to the wood, sweetly ripe and floral, supported by a waxy breadth that suggests the wine has the power to incorporate that oak with another six to ten years in the cellar.”
Chêne Bleu
Héloïse, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse – 2007
Wine & Spirits
90 points, Year’s Best Rhone Wines
“This red blends 60 percent syrah with grenache and viognier, aged 11 months in oak. It’s a spicy, earthy wine, with scents of cedar and mushrooms over tangy red fruit. The flavors last, fully mature yet still vibrant. Pour it with a leg of lamb …”

Pre-Phylloxera Barbera d’Alba DOC – 2013
Wine & Spirits

“Aged one year in large Slavonian casks, the wine is densely concentrated yet never feels heavy, a streak of acidity brightening the dark flavors, the blackberry and plum notes layered with clove and black tea.”

Wine Spectator
95 points, Personal Favorites
“Valter Fissore makes pure, balanced Barolos in a more traditional style, from the Nebbiolo parcels surrounding the winery. The Ravera MGA (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive) excelled in 2011, and this is one of my top-scoring Barolos …”

Tenuta Sette Cieli
Scipio, Toscana IGT – 2010
Wine Spectator
93 points
“This is really singing today, with effusive aromas of cassis, leather, black pepper and vanilla. A mineral component enters on the palate, with a firm backbone of tannins. Stays long and fresh on the lingering aftertaste.”
Davies Vineyards
J. Davies Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley – 2012
Decanter
91 points, Highly Recommended
“Super-ripe blackcurrant nose — intense and stylish with well-judged oak. The palate follows but is slender by comparison, with very fine-grained tannins, and the promise of more to come. Chocolatey, spicy and long.”

" … lime, pears and apricot, with aromatic tension and complexity. A fine, assertive and extremely youthful attack: concentrated yet racy and very mineral from start to finish … amazing length and detail, and that classic stony minerality."
