The Terravignata Verdicchio is one of the top white wine values I’ve tasted this year. Interestingly enough, we featured this wine last summer and it sold out in a matter of days.
If you’re looking for a splendid Tempranillo value, the the 2018 Palacio del Burgo Rioja Tinto is the wine for you. The entry-level red from Burgo Viejo, it’s a ton of wine for the money.
The 2019 Azelia Nebbiolo Langhe is a wine that smells and tastes like Barolo, but the tannin and acid are much softer. How does this happen you ask? Easy, all of the grapes come from younger vines in Castiglione Falletto & Serralunga d’Alba, two of Barolos most prized terroirs.
For wine lovers who like their reds huge and concentrated, you are going to love the 2016 Domaine De Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem. From a great vintage and crafted by the famed Chapoutier team of the Rhone Valley, this blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan is deep, dark, and super concentrated.
The 2016 Clos du Val Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is all class, elegance, and charm in the highly acclaimed 2016 vintage. One of Napa’s old guard, venerable estates, Clos du Val makes one of my favorite Napa Cabs year in and year out.
The 2019 Matthiasson Napa Valley Village Chardonnay is a favorite of mine. I have been a longtime fan of Steve and Jill Matthiasson’s wines, and this new release tastes like a great Pouilly-Fuissé or Saint-Véran from a warmer vintage.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good Rioja, and the 2019 Bodega Lanzaga ‘LZ’ Rioja is better than good. It’s great! Made by Telmo Rodriguez, one of the most revered winemakers of the region, this is a wine that showcases the pure and savory side of Tempranillo.
The Domaine Gayda En Passant Rouge is a wine I see myself drinking often this year. A full, rich, and pleasure-bent blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache from certified organic vineyards, this one reminds me a lot of the rich and forward wines produced by Domaine Lafage.
The 2019 Villa Creek Cherry House White blew me away when I tasted it recently. I kid you not when I say it reminds me of an upper tier White Chateauneuf Blanc.
I am rarely disappointed when I drink a wine imported by Kermit Lynch, and I was far from bummed when I tested out the 2018 Domaine Monier-Perreol Saint Joseph last week. Quite the opposite, I was overcome with emotion and joy when I smelled and tasted this micro-production, certified biodynamic Syrah.
The 2015 Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva is a great opportunity to taste Negroamaro in its purest form. One of the most planted and prolific varietals of Puglia, when the grape is in the right hands, it can yield wines that over-deliver in a big way. That certainly is the case here!
The Yealands Estate Pinot Gris is a wine that really took me by surprise….in a good way. Pinot Gris from Marlborough, New Zealand….I thought they only grew Sauvignon Blanc there. Wrong!
SOLD OUT! The 2018 Villa Creek Cherry House Red comes from one of Paso Robles’ hottest estates. Check back in the future to see if we pick up the new vintage.
