2019 Le Ragnaie - Brunello di Montalcino (750ml)

The 2023 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Malandrino entices with its mineraldrenched bouquet of crushed rock and smoke giving way to herbal-tinged blackberry. It sweeps across the palate with silken textures and ripe red and hints of blue fruits as a wave of co...
2020 Castorani - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Riserva Casauria (750ml)
Walnuts, raspberries and sour cherries on the nose. Licorice and some balsamic, too. It’s medium-bodied, juicy and creamy with powdery tannins and tasty spice undertones. Drink now.
2023 Domaine Jean Foillard - Beaujolais Villages (750ml)
Every so often, I take a sip of a “humble” regional wine that makes me question everything. With a glass of this in hand, I think to myself, who cares about grand cru Burgundy? Or, why would I ever drink anything else? Or, surely this is the bottle I’d choose to fill my cooler with if I were stranded on a desert island.
When I’m able to think rationally again, of course I’d pounce on a bottle of Taupenot-Merme’s grand cru Corton Rognet or the Perret family’s majestic Condrieu I write about in this month’s newsletter. And variety is everything, so I wouldn’t fill my island cooler with just Jean Foillard’s Beaujolais-Villages. But this kind of red makes you suspend reason for a moment and devote yourself to it, at least while the wine’s still in your glass.
After all, Beaujolais-Villages has no business being this good, but Jean Foillard is an extraordinary vigneron. A decade or so ago, Jean made Beaujolais Nouveau that he would expedite to us each November to meet the deadline of the worldwide Nouveau celebration. That Nouveau was outstanding and he didn’t need to change anything, but he had an epiphany that only the most ambitious sort of grower has: the grapes he was using were of high enough quality to make a cuvée with more depth and complexity, so he proposed taking his time to produce a Beaujolais-Villages instead of a hurried Nouveau.
Blending grapes from high-elevation, granite-heavy terroirs barely outside the region’s crus, and with a patient élevage that’s very close to that of his world-class Morgons, this wine is silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red fruit, pomegranate, and stones. With just the right amount of tannin and acidity, and lots of class, it is perfect for all occasions.

2023 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Willamette Valley (750ml)

2019 Chateau Canon - St. Emilion (1.5L) MAGNUM
The 2019 Canon is creamy and layered. A wine of immense charm and sensuality, the 2019 is immediately appealing today, but also clearly has the potential to age for many decades. The 2019 is not as exuberant as most recent vintages, and yet its balance...
2015 Chateau Rauzan Segla - Margaux (1.5L) MAGNUM
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Rauzan-Ségla offers up an expressive nose of baked blackberries, kirsch, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of cigar box and tilled soil. Full-bodied, rich and expansive in the mouth, it has layer upon layer of bo...

2016 Chateau Brane Cantenac - Margaux (750ml)
The 2016 Brane-Cantenac has been on a roll of late, under the watchful eye of Henri Lurton. This latest bottled vintage is superb. The divine, pure blackberry and bilberry bouquet develops touches of graphite in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied w...
2010 Chateau La Lagune - Medoc (750ml)
The 2010 La Lagune has more clarity and delineation than the 2009 on the nose: intense blackberry, briary, crushed stone and a touch of graphite. These are the best aromatics on a La Lagune…so far. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a kee...
2016 Chateau Cantemerle - Medoc (750ml)

2009 Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot - St. Emilion (750ml)
My favorite Beau-Sejour-Becot to date, this sumptuous, dense blue/purple-hued 2009 reveals a blockbuster nose of blueberry pie, black fruits, licorice, forest floor, spring flowers and a hint of mocha. A blend of 70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and...

2021 Chateau Cos d'Estournel BLANC - St. Estephe (750ml)
The 2021 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is a big wine—rich, dramatic and expressive. Low yields in 2021 created a white that is deep, layered and quite potent in feel. Tangerine peel, citrus confit, marzipan and a touch of new oak give the 2021 a decidedly flam...
2023 Chateau G de Guiraud - Bordeaux Blanc (750ml)
A dry white wine made from a blend of equal parts of sauvignon and sémillon and aged on lees for 6 months, half in stainless steel vats and the other half in barrels used for the château’s Premier Cru dessert wine, G de Guiraud is a truly exciting wine.
