Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières – 2012

The Wine Advocate
91 - 93 points

"…lovely almond and fumé scents, almost like a Meursault Perriéres in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-like freshness on the entry. This is a very pretty, more expressive premier cru…orange zest and lemon peel-infused finish."

“Aromas of butterscotch, honeyed apricot, beeswax and honeysuckle transfer seamlessly onto the palate…. There’s nice balance between sweetness and acidity, and a delightful touch of creaminess graces the finish.”

Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Maté’s Vineyard, Kumeu – 2010

Wine Enthusiast
93 points, Cellar Selection

"...Consistent acid line and persistent finish, while retaining all of the typical Chardonnay flourishes. Roastednut notes impart an almost nougat-like nuance to the fruit flavors of citrus and white peach."

Domaine Leflaive
Mâcon-Verzé – 2012

The Mâcon-Verzé is a wine of great purity, both floral and mineral, expressing a lively energy, ready to be enjoyed earlier than the wines of Puligny-Montrachet.

Blanc de Blancs, North Coast – 2011

This wine’s aromas of green apple, pear, grapefruit and lime are complemented by candied citrus and fresh-from-the-oven bread. Generous flavors of grapefruit, lime and pineapple are present. The palate is crisp with a long, tangy, refreshing acidity.

Pierre Sparr
Gewurztraminer, Mambourg, AOC Alsace Grand Cru – 2011

Aromas of rose and violet are followed by pear and brioche. With aeration the bouquet adds butter and lemony notes. On the palate, this is classic Gewurztraminer with a generous sweetness. A spicy, licorice-touched finish completes this elegant wine.

Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Maté’s Vineyard, Kumeu – 2010

Wine & Spirits
92 points

“It contrasts the oak flavor of its native yeast fermentation in barrel with the spiciness of chardonnay skins, and melds the creaminess of full malolactic fermentation with fresh acidity that has the snap of parsnips."

Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Hunting Hill, Kumeu – 2009

Wine & Spirits
91 points

"It's the fruitiest of these Kumeu River releases, with scents of caramelized pineapple and orange surrounded by the leesiness of a native yeast fermentation in barrel. Broad and toasty, this would match salmon roasted on cedar planks."

Kumeu River
Chardonnay, Estate, Kumeu – 2009

Wine & Spirits
90 points

"From the Brajkovich family estate outside of Auckland, this wine has the sweet perfume of fresh cream from grass-fed cows. It's soft, with a peppery edge and the savor of corn silk. Then it ends with enough tension to match a salmon soufflé."

J. Schram Rosé, North Coast – 2005

Wine Enthusiast
Island Kitchen

"The Wine: Shawn LaRue, consulting wine director at the spa recommends Schramsberg's J. Schram Rose from Califorinia's North Coast to pair with the dish. The sparkling wine is 'a perfect textural match for the tofu, tomato and egg salad with passion fruit', LaRue says."
