Review:
"The 2023 Châteauneuf du Pape comes from the Brotte family (where the fruit is sourced) and is 90% Grenache and 5% each Syrah and Mourvèdre. Already bottled, it has a juicy, upfront, undeniably delicious style that brings both red and black fruits, some peppery, herbes de Provence-like nuances, medium to full body, and an upfront, ready-to-go style."

"On the earthier side of Rhone, this lively wine offers intense color and fruit."
- Washington Post (Jan. 09)
VERY GOOD
"Importer and Master Sommelier Fran Kysela uses the Maison du Midi label for lots of Rhone wines he selects to bring into the U.S. This effort, from Plan de Dieu, is seriously intense, full-bodied and firmly tannic, showing the character of the vintage. The plummy fruit is powerful, fighting through the tannins on the finish. Try it young with rare beef, or put it away for a few years and see if the tannins soften over time."

The Grade Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Winfield Vineyard is made from Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
“This wine expresses a focused balancing act of dark, rich black fruit, and a fine tannin structure, illuminated through the core with a laser-like acidity. The wine displays a deep purple-red hue with a cranberry halo. Aromas of cassis, cinnamon, citrus oil, roasted meat, and lilac swell from the glass.
“The palate is marked by a wave of jet-black brambly fruit up front, followed by an exotic spice mid-palate and a long, complex finish that lasts and lasts expressing notes of flowering jasmine, and oolong tea. The silky tannins hold everything together and will certainly allow this wine to evolve in the cellar for at least 7-10 years.” - Thomas River Brown
Review:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Winfield Vineyard is a blend taken from three blocks in the vineyard. A potent, layered Cabernet, the Winfield is super-expressive today. Dark red cherry, licorice, incense and savory herbs all flesh out in a potent, resonant Calistoga Cabernet that hits all the right notes. This is impressive, to say the least.

Boussey Volnay Premier Cru Taillepieds is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Les Taillepieds is one of Volnay's most admired Premier Cru climats, its name a nod to the steep, stony slope that once cut the feet of those who worked it. Domaine Boussey, a five-generation family estate in neighboring Monthelie, farms a small south-facing parcel here on clay and limestone from vines that average fifty years of age, roughly a hundred cases in all.
Fermented in stainless steel and aged a year in French oak with a quarter new, it shows the graceful side of the Cote de Beaune: a ruby-garnet color, a perfumed lift of red and black fruit, fig and violet, and the finesse, length and round, juicy tannins that make Volnay the most elegant of red Burgundies.
