2023 Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles Blanc $22.99
Wine Advocate 93 points
“The 2023 Cuvée Juveniles Blanc is sedate and driven by dry extract; it is wider than it is sweet or intense, and the flavor across the palate draws out long over the finish. This is a classy wine here, with lemongrass, chalk, pear skin and green almond. It has an intense mid-palate with very pretty flavor; it’s structured like Chenin Blanc. I like it, a lot. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.”
2023 Domaine Terrebrune Bandol Rosé $32.99
Wine Advocate 93 points
“The 2023 Bandol Rosé from Domaine Terrebrune exhales aromas of spices, grapefruit, pomegranate, red berries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, tense and crystalline palate with a long, delicate and mouthwatering finish. This is a perfumed, refined Bandol rosé.”
2019 Lagrange $59.99
Wine Advocate 95 points
“The 2019 Lagrange has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil, pencil shavings and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of lively fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids, it’s suave and seamless, concluding with a long, expansive finish. The result of an extremely rigorous selection, and incorporating fully 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is the finest wine this château has produced in the modern era. Remarkably, it was released at the same price en primeur as the 2005!”
2019 Caiarossa $56.99
Wine Advocate 95 points
“The Caiarossa 2019 Caiarossa is a complex blend featuring Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Alicante from vineyard sites across this beautiful property in the high hills off the Tuscan coast. This organic and biodynamic wine is full and generous to the palate, yet it never feels heavy or too extracted. The wine is balanced and fresh with thick layers of dark fruit, crushed stone, tobacco and exotic spice.”
