Review:
Exotic citrus, pineapple, baking spices, and minty flower notes emerge from the 2023 Vacqueyras Les Clefs D'Or Blanc, a medium-bodied, juicy, lively, balanced white that has the vintage's ripe yet pure, layered, focused style. It's incredibly well done and worth your time and money.

MaloLactic Fermentation also in barrel.
Enjoy this wine with rich dish, river fish or poultry cooking in creamy sauce. Delicious with a mushroom risotto.
Review:
Coming from older vines and a smaller production release, the 2023 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes is tighter and more inward, with brilliant darker cherry and berry fruits supported by ground pepper, crushed stone, and subtle Provençal garrigue. Based on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, it's medium to full-bodied and has a focused, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age but is a brilliant Vacqueyras that I would be thrilled to have in the cellar. It will have 10-15 years of longevity. Drink 2028-2043.

Domaine Jean-Claude et Nicholas Fayolle Hermitage Les Dionneres Blanc is made from 100% Marsanne.
Fayolle Hermitage Blanc Les Dionnieres boasts a superb golden yellow color and extraordinary smoothness and creamy, honeyed aromas of hazelnut, peach and apricot developping into scents of iris, narcissus and lime blossom. Pure and crisp, a solid texture and a clean finish.
Delicious with poultry, veal, seafood, shellfish, veal and most cheeses.
Review:
The 2023 Hermitage Les Dionnières Blanc is 100% Marsanne aged in a combination of French oak and concrete. It has a light gold hue as well as perfumed notes of stone fruits, dried herbs, and dried pebbly earth-like nuances. These carry to a medium-bodied white with good overall balance, a lively, focused mouthfeel, and a good finish.

Long Shadows Cymbal Sauvignon Blanc is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting notes: Wonderfully vibrant and aromatic, with notes of lemongrass, passion fruit and a hint of honeysuckle. Flavors of mango, fresh herbs and white peach, come together seamlessly across a textured palate and lengthy finish.
Over the years, Gilles and Allen have experimented with small quantities of uniquely styled wines for their personal and family enjoyment. A few of these wines became too good not to share with their “extended family”, including the Cymbal Sauvignon Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc from three distinct vineyards combined to give this wine its wonderful vibrancy and complex flavor profile. Gamache Vineyard (planted in 1985) is located on a gently sloping hillside in close proximity to the Columbia River. The site benefits from the cooling effect of the river to give the wine fresh acidity. Boushey Vineyard also contributes liveliness and lemongrass character. Bacchus Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (planted in 1972) is a warmer site, producing a riper style wine that provides a distinct passion fruit character to the
finished blend.
Review:
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Cymbal is made from several vineyard sites, including the 1972 planting from Bacchus Vineyard, potentially the oldest Sauvignon Blanc in the state. Passionfruit and lemongrass give it contrasting complexity around medium-bodied layers of luscious texture and vibrancy. Drinking well now, it should continue to do so for the next 6-8 years.

Winery: Maionnette
Domaine de La Maïonnette is located in La Crau, in the heart of Côtes de Provence, just a few kilometers from the village of Pierrefeu du Var. The estate has been an independent winegrower since 1913, and today cultivates 30 hectares of vines with passion and respect for the terroir.
The vineyard is equally divided between two appellations: AOP Côtes de Provence and IGP Méditerranée. The vines benefit from an ideal location near the river and are planted on clay-limestone soils with a silty character, which imparts suppleness, roundness, and lightness to the wines.
In addition to the traditional rosé wines of Provence, Domaine de La Maïonnette produces high-quality white and red wines. The estate is certified organic, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture that allows the Mediterranean terroir to shine through in every bottle. Imported to the United States by Kysela Père et Fils.

Irresistible ripened plums and opulent dusty blackberries lift the senses, alluring the nose to tertiary notes of delicate florals and intriguing mineral edges. Balance is the defining quality of this wine; even in its youth, 2021 Black Label is resolutely complete from beginning to end. Every element is in place, as dimpled yet silky tannins unfold with grace and finesse, revealing a core of power and depth. Broad strokes of black mulberries, crème de cassis, and juniper accelerate through the mid-palate with captivating width and focus. This thrilling dance culminates in a stunning finish of opulent and elegant dark fruits that persist with each sip, leaving an indelible impression of the near-perfect growing season that shaped the Fortuna Vineyard—full of power and sinue—and Leopoldina Vineyard—full of poise and intention—in the 2021 vintage.
"Stunning stuff, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label offers a full-bodied, deep, majestic style as well as beautiful aromatics of cr me de cassis, violets, flowers, and nicely integrated background oak. It has ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a regal, age-worthy style that has so much to love. It, however, is not going to be for the instant gratification crowd and this actually shut down pretty quickly with air. I would hide bottle for 4-6 years and it s going to cruise over the following two decades in cold cellars."

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawn from the Fortuna (66%) and Leopoldina (34%) vineyards. A best-barrel selection, it offers up classic Oakville scents of black cherries and loamy earth, with a gentle cassis undertone. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish, this is a solid wine, with as much as two decades of age-ability.
-Joe Czerwinski (Robert Parker) 96 Points
A blend of top lots from both Fortuna and Weitz, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label is a powerful, dense wine with imposing fruit and equally strong tannic clout. Blackberry jam, graphite, leather, bittersweet chocolate, sweet spice and licorice infuse the palate with tons of depth. The 2021 is a big, ample wine built on textural voluptuousness and sheer power.

Davila M100 White Blend Rias Baixas 2022 is made from Albariño, Caíño Blanco and Loureiro.
Adegas Valmiñor farms the O Rosal valley at the Atlantic edge of Rías Baixas, and the Davila range is where the winery showcases the native grapes of that corner of Galicia. The M100 is an O Rosal blend built around Albariño, rounded out with Caíño Blanco and Loureiro from the estate's older parcels.
The Albariño is cold-macerated and barrel-fermented in large French oak, aged three months on its lees with bâtonnage, then blended with the Caíño Blanco and Loureiro and given further time in tank. It is a richer, more structured Rías Baixas white — ripe orchard fruit and subtle spice over a firm mineral spine, deep and expressive on the palate.
Pairs beautifully with richer seafood, white meats, and creamy dishes.
