CASE PRICE = $39.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket)
96-98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck: "The
deepest colored Syrah in the lineup, the 2018 Syrah Colson Canyon comes
from a great vineyard located in the hills above the town of Los
Olivos. Awesome notes of blackberries, toasted spice (there's some new
oak in this wine), ground herbs, peppered meat, and earth all flow to a
full-bodied, concentrated, deep, layered wine that has plenty of
tannins, good acidity, and a huge finish. It's a magical Syrah from
Tensely, and my money is on it being the finest to date." - Jeb Dunnuck

99 Points - James Suckling: "The concentration and largesse of
the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent from the get-go with incredibly
alluring, ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry,
dark-cherry, mulberry and plum zone. Espresso and cedar, as well as a
slate-like, stony mineral edge add complexity. The palate has incredible
depth, drive and detail. Fine and plush tannins stretch the palate in
every direction. So fresh and vivacious, this is the greatest Pichon
Baron since 1989 and has a long future. Try from 2024." (Jan 2019)
96 Points & #8 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"This gushes with dark fig and black currant compote flavors backed by
lively sweet tobacco and singed alder edges. Very fleshy in feel, though
there's ample grip to keep this red grounded, echoing with tar and
humus accents through the finish. A thumper. Best from 2025 through
2040. 13,500 cases made." —JM

93 Points & #8 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
A riddle inside a bottle, this release follows Glenlivet’s previous
mystery series bottlings Alpha, Cipher, and Code. Packaged in a
jet-black bottle and box that look part Arthur C. Clarke monolith and
part 3-D cryptic crossword puzzle, it’s devoid of cask information or
tasting notes by design. The best solution is to open it and unlock the
whisky’s secrets. Classic Glenlivet notes of lemon curd, melon, fresh
peaches, bitter orange, and baked apples on the nose, followed by a
smooth, creamy palate of marshmallow, toasted almond, marzipan, and
lemon iced tea. The long, vibrant finish is replete with crème brûlée,
sultana, cinnamon, and tropical fruit. —Jonny McCormick

"This elegant white shows pedigree, featuring wonderful harmony and great complexity, with persimmon and quince flavors, while cardamom, coriander and star anise notes glide along the edges. The acidity gives this power, providing balance, but also incredible energy that runs throughout. Very long and inviting. Best from 2020 through 2038. 1,000 cases made." — AZ

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Skeins of graphite
and smoke provide an alluring introduction to this seductively fruity,
concentrated Syrah. Blackberry and mulberry flavors are vibrant yet
concentrated, spiced with black pepper, leather and olive, edged by
fine, supple tannins. Irresistible already, the wine will improve
through 2040. Anna Lee C. Iijima" - (9/1/2019)

97 Points - Decanter: "2016 was an outstanding year, with an
early, fine summer with daily sea breezes. Slightly above-average
January and February temperatures were offset by a welcome 90mm of
January rain. Markedly floral, there's a white blossom character to both
nose and back-palate. It's a concentrated wine with gently granular
fresh and dried pear notes, accompanied by silkier white peach.
Succulent, ripe lemony acidity is well integrated and gently sheathed by
nougat-inflected creamy lees. Lovely lithe mouthfeel and beautiful
harmony. Drinking Window 2019 - 2035." - Sarah Ahmed (May 2019)
96 Points & #28 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Refined and elegant, this white is supple, yet intense and precise,
with lemon curd, apricot, honeycomb and mandarin orange flavors,
accented by floral and mineral details. The secret weapon here is the
sleek acidity, which weaves in and out, giving the flavors definition
and verve. Drink now through 2034. 800 cases imported." — MW

94 Points & #2 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate: Master
blender Stephanie Macleod’s innovative blend was inspired by Dewar’s
famous double aging process. She separately blended parcels of aged malt
and grain whisky, left each to marry, then blended them together to
marry again, before finishing in oloroso sherry casks. A tantalizing
nose of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, crystalized orange slice, fresh
plum, black cherry, and moist coffee grounds. Smooth flavors of
chocolate-dipped raspberries, gingersnaps, and bold sherry fruit yield
to a finish of smoke and spice. By releasing in novel half-bottles,
Dewar’s spreads the love, enabling us to experience a 21 year old scotch
for just 50 bucks. —Jonny McCormick

94 Points & #7 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate: Old
Ezra’s owner, Luxco, historically has played the role of whiskey
négoçiant, sourcing liquid from third-party distillers. In 2018, the
company opened its own distillery in Bardstown, Ky., where it’s now
laying down whiskey. While we wait for it to mature, we’ll happily savor
the sourced version. This is Ezra Brooks’ first ever barrel-proof
bourbon, and it’s a beauty. A spice storm of cinnamon, clove, ginger,
and roasted pecan greets the palate, easing into sweet notes of melted
caramel, chocolate, macaroons, marzipan, and crème brûlée. Earthy hints
of sandalwood and tobacco complete the finish, making this everything a
great bourbon should be. —David Fleming

96 Points & #9 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Think of RWT as an alter ego to Penfolds’ flagship Grange bottling;
Grange is a multiregion blend of old-vine Shiraz from around South
Australia and aged in American oak, while RWT is an expression of a
single region and aged in French oak. Here the purity of Barossa Shiraz
is complemented by a creamy, rich texture. Named “Red Winemaking Trial”
during its development in the mid-1990s, this wine is no longer an
experiment, but the name stuck and RWT has become a classic in its own
right. The winemaking is overseen by Penfolds veteran Peter Gago.
Tasting Note:
Offers a lush, juicy mix of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry
flavors that appears seamless, integrating with notes of amaretto, clove
and lavender. Plush, juicy and very generous on the long, expressive
finish. Drink now through 2034." — MaryAnn Worobiec (Nov. 30, 2019)

"Distinctive, refined and well-built, offering expressive black cherry, cigar box, green olive and cured meat accents that build richness on the long finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Drink now through 2026. 2,450 cases made. —TF
|
97 Points - James Suckling: "This is a powerful and rich
red with so much density and power yet there's an underlying freshness
and energy. Hints of vanilla and walnuts. Full body, chewy tannins and a
flavorful finish. Better in 2022 but impressive already." - (18 Feb,
2018)
95 Points & #59 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Rich, robust and lusciously spiced, with concentrated dark cherry,
plum and boysenberry flavors supported by fresh acidity. Intense
midpalate minerality is followed by a finish loaded with chocolate and
cream notes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink
now through 2024. 4,500 cases made, 500 cases imported." — KM

"This is well-packed, offering the vivid plum, boysenberry, cassis and açaí berry fruit profile of the vintage, along with a dark edge of tar, baker's chocolate and salted licorice that courses underneath. The long finish lets the fruit play out, keeping singed alder and chai spice hints in the background. Smolderingly seductive. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz. Best from 2035 through 2060. 3,500 cases made." — JM

wild berry, star anise, menthol and fragrant blue flower mingle with
whiffs of camphor and espresso. The smooth, precise palate offers
crushed raspberry, Marasca cherry, licorice and dried botanical herbs
alongside fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity lifts the finish. Enjoy
through 2027."
95 Points & #27 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator Magazine: "A
deep well of macerated cherry, plum, freshly cut grass, white pepper
and tar flavors highlights this dense, muscular red. Quickly goes from
enticing to closed down as the beefy tannins ply the finish. All the
components are there. Best from 2022 through 2043." — B.S (Oct. 2, 2019)
|
95 Points - Vinous: "Farella's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is
super-polished, elegant and refined. Bright floral/savory notes and
silky tannins add complexity to a core of blue and purplish berry fruit
in this expressive, wonderfully nuanced Cabernet. All the elements fall
into place. Quite simply, this is a stunning wine, especially within the
context of the year. " Antonio Galloni - (Dec 2018)
94 Points & #69 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Dark and winey, with steeped black currant, fig and blackberry fruit
flavors, inlaid liberally with smoldering charcoal and sweet tobacco
notes. Anise and tar details score the finish, adding length and range
to the depth and energy. Best from 2021 through 2035. Tasted twice, with
consistent notes. 257 cases made." —JM

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Even better is the sensational medium-ruby-colored 2011 Rosé Brut Reserva, a blend of 60% Monastrell, 20% Garnacha and 20% Pinot Noir. Crisp, persistent notes of citrus blossom, green apples and hints of brioche and grapefruit are found in this light-bodied, refreshing, reasonably dry sparkling wine. Enjoy it over the next year." - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (Nov 2014)
91 Points & #51 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:

flavors. Finishes long and vibrant with hints of fresh ginger and
minerals. A lovely entry-level wine." - Ian D'Agata" Ian D'Agata - (Aug

91-93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Tasted from
the barrel, the 2016 Gattinara will be bottled in September and will hit
the market one month later in October. This is a more important wine
compared to the 2015. It shows more depth and substance in the mouth and
more length. It's more robust too. The consumer should wait several
more months for this one." - Monica Larner (28th Jun 2019)
94 Points & #36 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator (2015 Vintage):
"Haunting aromas of rose, wild cherry, kirsch, mineral and leather are

extending on the finish with notes of fruit, spice, mineral and tobacco.
Very harmonious. Drink now through 2033. 5,000 cases made." —BS
|
93 Points & #5 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate: "The
yin to Aberlour A’bunadh’s yang, this cask-strength single malt is
matured entirely in bourbon casks rather than sherry. The result is a
bracingly pure whisky with deceptive simplicity; its flavors are clean
and its structure precise, but it’s far from boring. The nose recalls
black-and-white cookies, vanilla-frosted yellow cake, and shortbread
with caramel topping, along with honeysuckle, jasmine, and coconut
cream. Mouth-coating and full, it has flavors of poached pear, malt
balls, nougat, lemon curd, toasted coconut, and hints of spice. Vanilla,
chocolate, and nut flavors are almost endless on the finish. Add water,
or don’t: this is delicious either way." — Susannah Skiver Barton

96+ Points - Vinous: "The
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers is the best wine I have tasted from
Diana Snowden-Seysses. Rich, explosive and savory, the 2016 dazzles with
intensity in all of its dimensions. Graphite, smoke, savory herbs and
spice notes wrap around a core of dark fruit in a vertical, towering
Cabernet Sauvignon that captures all the vintage has to offer. " Antonio
Galloni - (Dec 2018)
94 Points & #91 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Offers a tasty core of plum and blackberry fruit, backed by lively

94 Points & #6 Top 200 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
"Known for pushing boundaries, the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection series has been a mixed bag over the years. With Batch Proof, Woodford literally plays to its strength. This bourbon takes the same mashbill, flavor profile, and beautiful blending that makes up the standard 90.4-proof Woodford Reserve, and ups the intensity to 123.2 proof, uncut and unfiltered. “Batch Proof” is Woodford’s answer to other distilleries’ single-barrel products. Now an annual spring release, Batch Proof doubles down on what Woodford does best, upping the banana pudding, dark spice, and toasty oak notes to decadent new heights." — Jeffery Lindenmuth
