Magnificence in Montefalco

2015 Bea Montefalco Rosso Riserva "Pipparello"

The wines of Bea are unforgettable.

There's a wildness to them and yet something undeniably noble about the wines as well.  It's a combination that few wines are able to achieve, and it is seriously compelling. 

Today, we're happy to offer Bea's 2015 Montefalco Rosso Riserva "Pipparello" for $76.95 and $73.95 in 4-packs.

Pipparello is a powerhouse that delivers kaleidoscopic complexity. The Pipparello vineyard is situated at 1300 feet above sea level, and the wine that Bea releases from it is based on 60% Sangiovese, 25% Montepulciano, and 15% Sagrantino. 

The wine is always marked by its incredibly expressive berry fruit and a jaw-dropping range of flavors.  The 2015 works on a colossal scale with explosive complexity. It's a powerful vintage for the wine, but also one of impressive balance and shocking agility. You get incredibly complicated and nuanced notes of earth, exotic spices, floral notes, sun-baked herbs, and savage notes. 

Few wines offer such stirring profundity and uniqueness as Bea's do. As Antonio Galloni writes, "At their best, they are among the finest wines to emerge from Montefalco, and Italy, for that matter." The 2015 Pipparello is a testament to the singular and dazzlingly beauty of Bea.

The Benchmark Muscadet

2019 Pepiere Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine Clos des Briords

Clos des Briords is one of the most rock-solid and beloved values of French wine.

There''s no doubt focusing on the wine''s value is myopic. Far beyond its price tag, it needs to be said that Briords has served as a prime example of the heights that Muscadet can reach and how well it can age. 

Clos des Briords takes Muscadet close to its Platonic ideal of jagged saline minerality. 

All of this goes a long way in explaining why wine lovers of all stripes go deep on each vintage of Briords. 

There''s a beautiful honesty to Briords. You might find more powerful and richer Muscadets, but Briords is unrivaled when it comes to luminous transparency and cut.

The 2019 Briords is stunningly pure and incisively mineral. They harvested early in the warm 2019 vintage and it shows in the wine''s bright and snappy personality. The total package is a really appealing combination of presence, punch, and pointed verve. It''s very compelling. 

This is an impressive vintage of Briords and one that seems poised to age beautifully. We suggest taking advantage of the special 6-pack pricing. This is a vintage to go long on for drinking today and holding onto for the next decade.

A Winter Essential

Cappellano Barolo Chinato NV 750

There are few better things to end a meal with-or simply meditate over- than Cappellano's Chinato.

Cappellano's Chinato is one of the most complex, layered, and simply delicious things on earth. For us, it's an indispensable part of our cold-weather drinking arsenal.

The easiest way to describe Chinato is a cross between a fortified wine and the king of vermouths.

Cappellano is famous for producing some of the most unyieldingly traditional and compelling wines in Piedmont. In the late 1800s, Dr. Giuseppe Cappellano, who was a pharmacist, developed Barolo Chinato as a digestive aid. The recipe hasn't changed since. Cappellano created the category of Barolo Chinato and remains the standard-bearer.

The base of Cappellano's Chinato is Barolo from the famed Gabutti vineyard, and this particular bottling is from the 2015 vintage. From here, the family's ultra-secret recipe of herbs, barks, and spices is added. (China is the Italian word for quinine bark, a bittering agent used in Chinato.)

Everything is ground by hand in an ancient mortar. Cappellano's unique blend of spices is guarded so carefully that they shop at many different pharmacies to make sure that no one can piece the ingredients together.

The flavor spectrum that it delivers is insane, ranging from bitter to sweet, with a mix of spices and herbs. All of this is delivered with a velvety elegance.

An open bottle of Chinato can last almost indefinitely. The reality, however, is that an open bottle rarely lasts very long. The best move is to stock up. Not only is Cappellano's Chinato among the most irresistible digestifs in the world, it also ages really well. Bottles at 10, 20, and even 40 years old have been stunning.

Wine of the Year #2: Joe''s Pick

Ramiro Ib??ez's Cota 45

Ramiro Ib??ez's Cota 45 is one of the most fascinating and compelling projects that I've encountered.

Instead of selecting a single wine for my wine of the year, I've decided to highlight four different Cota 45 wines that represent what makes his work so exciting.

Sherry country''s stark white Albariza soils are capable of producing wines of finesse and incredibly fine textures. These wines capture what makes this terroir so special in a singular and totally impressive way. They are easily some of the most eye-opening and memorable wines I''ve tasted this year. 

Cota 45 is an undertaking that only someone obsessed with a region's wines would have the courage and insight to pursue. Ib??ez clearly believes that he has something important to say about his native Sanl?car, located in the heart of Sherry country. When you taste the results, it's difficult to argue.

To adequately capture the fullness of Ib??ez's vision would require an enormous amount of space. The concise version is that these four wines focus on unfortified wines from Sanl?car that have been flor aged for a short time. If it helps, think of it as a single vintage, single vineyard, unfortified Manzanilla, or white still wine with distinctive Sherry characteristics.

Ib??ez is a historian of the sherry region and is most interested in the period before the export market exploded and the large bodegas were formed. Back in the 18th or 19th century, the wines from Sanl?car were consumed locally and were generally not fortified. They were valued for their lightness and delicacy. Often, too, single vineyards played a much more important role, and other grapes were involved besides Palomino Fino. It's this history that the four wines explore.

Equipos Navazos has released wines made in this style, but Cota 45 takes it to a different level. After Enology school, Ib??ez worked at the co-op in Sanl?car, and this gave him a really intimate knowledge of the different terroirs. The four wines from Miraflores, Carrascal, Maina, and Paganilla pagos (vineyards) show the incredible potential of sherry's top terroirs for this style of wine.

2017 Montevertine Rosso di Toscano

"The 2017 is shaping up to be an epic Montevertine and a huge overachiever." -Antonio Galloni

Montevertine''s Rosso di Toscano is a bottle that we have a deep affection for. We''ve had absolutely brilliant bottles with over a decade of age. 

While Le Pergole Torte is the pinnacle of the estate, the Rosso di Toscano represents incredible value. It''s one of the smartest buys that we know and there are vintages where the gap between Pergole Torte and the Montevertine bottling narrows considerably. The 2017 is just such a vintage.

We''re happy to offer the Montevertine 2017 Rosso di Toscano for $66.95 on bottles and $59.95 in 4-packs. 

In any vintage, the Rosso di Toscano stands out with its elegance and refinement. There''s an effortless, heartfelt, and graceful quality to the wine that always amazes us. When you combine this with the wine''s nuanced complexity, you get a clear picture of why we consider Montevertine''s Rosso di Toscano an essential part of our Italian program and why it''s a fixture in our cellars.

The 2017 is profoundly extreme. It was a warm vintage where yields were down 40%. This is a jam-packed, grandly scaled vintage for Montevertine. Galloni calls the vintage at Montevertine "some of the most viscerally thrilling, breathtaking wines I have ever tasted here, or anywhere, for that matter." 

The Montevertine boasts power and class. The added punch and layers of dark fruits give you the impression of the ripe vintage. Still, you get plenty of the finesse that we just spoke of along with a luminous undercurrent of energy and high-toned floral notes. As always, it offers up a beguiling set of aromatics with incredibly expressive notes of red fruits, herbs, spice, and floral notes.

Montevertine is in Radda, one of the coolest, highest-altitude spots in the Chianti Classico zone. It is here, and in Montevertine''s hands, that Sangiovese reaches an unparalleled level of incisive class and intricate composition. In vintages like 2017, Montevertine assumes jawdropping dimensions.

2018 Walter Scott Pinot Noir Cuv?e Ruth Willamette Valley

Walter Scott''s wines came as a revelation.

The Cuv?e Ruth delivers exactly what I want from Pinot Noir. There''s elegance, complex aromatics, and serious underlying structure. 

It''s very rare that an Oregon Pinot checks all of the boxes like this. The Cuv?e Ruth was a part of a case of samples that I was tasting through and it immediately jumped out at me. It''s an utterly captivating wine. 

I''ve come to learn that Walter Scott''s Ken Pahlow considers 2018 to be the vintage where everything clicked. For me, the 2018 Cuv?e Ruth is marked by a truly extraordinary sense of balance and completeness. 

In Oregon, the 2018 vintage is on the riper side. It''s truly shocking how much freshness and finesse the 2018 Ruth has. Were it not for the wines grandeur and sneakily imposing structure, you''d never imagine that it came from a ripe vintage. 

Ruth is sourced from some of Walter Scott''s best vineyards: Freedom Hill, Clos de Oiseaux, Bieze, and Eola Springs Vineyards. The 2018 boasts great purity, spice inflected red fruits, a gorgeous texture, and a tense mineral undercurrent. 

Walter Scott''s husband/wife team, Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon, founded the winery by emptying out their retirement funds. Erica had worked as a sommelier and Ken worked in wineries and as a fine wine salesperson. Ken has worked at St. Innocent, one of my favorite Oregon wineries, and alongside Dominique Lafon at Evening Land. 

The 2018 Cuv?e Ruth is one of the most eye-opening bottles that I''ve tasted this year. It served as a profound reminder of Oregon''s potential for delivering class, depth, and subtly complex Pinot Noir. It''s an amazing success.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

2018 Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy

Here today, gone tomorrow. There''s no better way to describe what happens with Tribut''s Beauroy.

The wine has a cult following. When you taste Tribut''s Beauroy, it''s pretty obvious why. This is seriously good, classic Chablis at very fair pricing. 

I buy every bottle of Tribut''s Beauroy that I can get my hands on, and it''s never enough. 

Today, I''m happy to offer Tribut''s 2018 1er Cru Beauroy for $54.95 on the bottle and $49.95 in 4-packs. 

As many of you know, the 2018 vintage is on the riper side of the spectrum. Just as in 2015, another warm year, Tribut turned out an impressive collection.

The 2018 Beauroy possesses a textured, stony minerality with punch and finesse with a very detailed and clear fruit profile. It offers an impactful presentation of Chablis'' unique oceanic minerality. There''s generosity to the wine, but also a tactile and tension-filled spine that really animates the wine. 

It''s impossible not to detect a kinship between the wines of Tribut and Dauvissat. Of course, there''s a very literal reality to this: Laurent Tribut is Ren? Dauvissat''s son-in-law, and Dauvissat helped establish the domaine.  Tribut''s wines possess the same classically structured, deeply complex Chablis minerality, the same intense, sweeping notes of stone fruits, flowers, and minerals. Laurent Tribut recently retired, and the winemaking is now in the hands of his daughter, Solange. 

I''ve been watching Tribut turn out incredibly strong collections for the past handful of vintages. The 2018 Beauroy boldly displays the caliber that Tribut is currently working at.

Last Chance: Oppose 100% Wine Tariffs

Speak Up By July 26th

Since last October, we''ve been living with 25% tariffs on wines from France, Germany, and Spain.

Now, there''s a chance that the tariffs will be increased to 100% and expanded to all E.U. countries.

These tariffs would cripple the industry, erode consumer choice, and make many wines prohibitively expensive.

I encourage you to click through to the US Wine Trade Alliance''s site that will allow you to contact your elected officials in Congress, as well as the U.S. Trade Representative, and let them know that you oppose destructive and anti-consumer wine tariffs. The deadline to voice your opposition is Sunday, July 26th. 

I WANT TO STRESS THAT YOUR INPUT IS CRUCIAL to prevent further tariffs and to repeal the tariffs that went into effect last October. The U.S. Trade Representative reviews tariffs every six months, so the time is now to be heard. 

Please stand up for consumer choice and for the conditions that allow the growers, retailers, importers, and their employees to continue to bring you the wines that we all love.

"There is a really lovely sense of verve"
- Burghound

2018 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest

Dauvissat nailed the 2018 vintage.

Vincent Dauvissat compares the vintage to the legendary vintages of 1947 and 1959. 

Like 1947 and 1959, 2018 is a riper vintage. What''s extraordinary about Dauvissat''s 2018s is how they marry tension and power. As is often the case, Forest is one of the stars of the lineup. It is defined by a saline, crushed rock minerality that''s finely etched. 

The 2018 Forest is simultaneously deeply concentrated and outrageously refined and focused. There''s a riveting, detailed minerality and an impressive, lengthy finish.

Along with Raveneau''s Butteaux and Mont?e de Tonnerre, Dauvissat''s Forest is the most sought after and ageworthy 1er Cru. There''s an incredible complexity and finesse to Dauvissat''s Forest that''s revealed with time in the cellar. 

Every time that we offer Dauvissat''s Forest, we''re slammed by a really strong response. I don''t expect this offering to be any different. Please give us your ideal order, and we''ll try our best.

"Simply breathtaking"

2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne

"It is a truly brilliant epic Champagne that no one who loves the very best in Champagne will want to be without." - Antonio Galloni

We''ve been eagerly waiting for the release of 2008 Comtes de Champagne. 

When Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is on, it can reach heights that only a select few Champagnes can achieve. As the Galloni quotes above make clear, the 2008 is a dynamic bottle. We tasted it last week and there''s little doubt that the wine will go down as a legend.

I''m very happy to offer the 2008 Comtes de Champagne at the sharp price of $189.95 on bottles and $184.95 in 3-packs. 

The 2008 vintage in Champagne is one of the most thrilling young vintages that we''ve tasted. It is pure, harmonious, and has a beautifully energetic structure. We simply love the vintage.

In 2008, Comtes de Champagne has an explosive minerality, incredible detail, and a nearly unrelenting length. There''s incredible class and precision. Antonio Galloni captures the wine well when he writes: "The 2008 Comtes represents the purest essence of the C?tes des Blancs in a great, historic vintage."

Along with Krug''s Clos de Mesnil, Dom Ruinart, Salon, and Selosse, CdC is the quintessential Blanc de Blancs. Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger''s prestige cuv?e, first released in 1952 and sourced from some of the C?te des Blancs'' top Grand Crus (Avize, Le Mesnil and Oger along with a little Chouilly and Cramant).

I''ve had extraordinary experiences with old Comtes de Champagne. When an aged bottle shines, it really, really shines. Comtes de Champagne can show its share of richness, but its hallmark is one of elegance and impeccable class. The 2008 is the epitome of the breeding that this wine offers. This is a Champagne that you''ll want to watch evolve for decades.

The Greatest $32 Grower Champagne?

Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blancs NV

For decades, Dieblot-Vallois'' Blanc de Blancs has been the go-to for sommeliers looking for an overachieving Champagne glass pour.

At special pricing as low as $31.95, this is the best Champagne deal that we''ve encountered. 

The fact that the bottle can come to market at as low as $32 is simply absurd. It is a serious, small-grower Champagne, easily holding its own with many bubbles at $50 and above.

Along with producers, like Agrapart, Pierre Peters, and Lilbert, Diebolt-Vallois is what we reach for when we''re after utterly classic Blanc de Blancs. And that''s very often. The C?te des Blancs makes some of the most riveting expressions of Champagne, and the Chardonnay grape in general.

Diebolt-Vallois'' style beautifully captures just how thrilling the Champagnes from C?te des Blancs chalky soils are. Their signatures are classy, finessed wines with a kinetic energy, laser-like focus, and tense minerality.

The Blanc de Blancs is crystalline and has a mineral-tinged finesse. There''s a razor cut with a nicely delineated elegance. Most of all there''s a blazing, focused chalky mineral tension.

When Champagne this compelling is at this price point, we advise you to stock up. Deals like this are very rare.

"Brovia''s 2016s are all finesse" - Antonio Galloni

2016 Brovia Barolo

Within the top ranks of Barolo, it''s difficult to compete with Brovia in terms of value.

No place in their formidable lineup dramatizes this as much as their Barolo normale. In top vintages, this bottling over-delivers in an astonishing way. 

At $55.95 per bottle and $51.95 in 4-packs, the 2016 is a mindboggling deal. 

To a large extent, this isn''t surprising. As we''ve said before, the 2016 Barolos are a dream brew of depth, verve, and clarity. It possesses ripe vintage concentration with cool vintage elegance and precision.

As Galloni''s note above alludes to, Brovia teased out an enormous amount of finesse and detail from the vintage. The 2016 Barolo is not shy on intensity, but it''s the nuance, precision, and overall harmony that really stands out. 

The Barolo normale is a blend of younger vines throughout Brovia''s impressive Cru holdings. In any vintage, the wine has a shocking clarity of expression to the minerality, herbs, floral notes, and spice. However, the 2016 is among the best examples of the wine that we''ve seen. It''s one of those vintages that seems to deliver more of everything. 

This is clearly a snapshot of Brovia at the top of their game. Brovia is one of the great talents of Piedmont and in a vintage like 2016, and at this price, our advice is to go deep.

"The 2015 is utterly captivating." -Antonio Galloni

2015 Antinori Tignanello

The Lowest Price In The Nation

Since its first vintage in 1971, Tignanello has turned out no shortage of stunning wines. No matter how you cut it, the 2015 stands out as one of the greats.

Tignanello is a Tuscan icon, and I''m happy to offer the wine at its best at the lowest price around, $118.95. 

"The 2015 is one of the finest Tignanellos in recent memory," writes Antonio Galloni. The 2015 possesses incredible finesse and aromatic complexity. The combination of class and energy is really impressive. 

Tignanello was the second entry, after Sassicaia, to the "super-Tuscan" category. The winery is situated in the Chianti Classico zone and is based largely on Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. (The 2015 is based on 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.) Aided by the advice of famed Bordeaux oenologist, ?mile Peynaud, Piero Antinori pursued similar methods as the greatest wines of the world. In short, a legend was born. 

Tignanello has a great track record for aging. The 2015 has the vibrancy, balance, and overall composition to evolve beautifully. It''s rare that we offer Tignanello, but when the pricing and the sheer quality of the 2015 are factored in, there was no question that it deserved a moment in the spotlight.

"Lovely classic Brunello"

2013 Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino

Val di Suga drives homes what''s essential about Brunello.

The 2013 is a powerful argument that Brunello has much more to offer than simply raw power. It tells a story that''s far more complicated. Brunello is about grace, nuance, and complex aromatics. 

At $49.95 per bottle, the 2013 Val di Suga is simply one of the great deals of Brunello.

For Brunello, the 2013 vintage stands as one of the greats of the past two decades. The vintage saw a cool, wet spring and a beautiful July, August, and September. What resulted are wines of incredible purity, focus, and class.

Val di Suga flourished in 2013. Expect a structured and concentrated Brunello with an almost magical precision and aristocratic elegance. It offers gorgeous layers of spice, red fruits, flowers, incense, herbs, and earth. 

It very rare that I encounter Brunello at this level even close to this price point. If you''re looking for examples of how graceful and profound Brunello can be without breaking the bank, the 2013 Val di Suga Brunello should be one of your first stops.

C?te-R?tie''s Master

2017 Jamet C?te-R?tie

Jamet''s C?te-R?ties are long-standing benchmarks of the northern Rh?ne.

The heights that Jamet''s C?te-R?ties reach have few peers in the entire northern Rh?ne.

Today, we''re happy to offer Jamet''s 2017 C?te-R?tie sharply priced at $169.95

Jamet hits a level of gracefulness and agility that is reminiscent of Burgundy. This is C?te-R?tie in full glory, flaunting a poised and detailed expression of minerals, herbs, spice, savory elements, and florality. The aromatics simply soar.

Jamet''s 2017 C?te-R?tie is fascinating. The vintage combines the ripeness and power of 2015 with a dose of the vibrant acid backbone and mineral imprint of 2016.

The 2017 C?te-R?tie has an intense mineral spine and clear and detailed bright fruits. It has a lot of finesse and polish. Everything is sheathed in firm tannins. 

I''ll bring this to a close. Jamet''s C?te-R?ties are long-standing benchmarks of the northern Rh?ne. The 2017 really underscores how fine-tuned the winemaking is. When this parcel came along, I jumped at the opportunity to pick up more of the wine.

2016 Serafino Rivella Barbaresco Montestefano

"Tasting Teobaldo and Maria Rivella''s wines is like stepping back into Piedmont''s past." - Antonio Galloni

The wines of Serafino Rivella possess such honesty and precision that it''s hard not to be wowed by them. There''s something mysterious and special about these wines. They have plenty of finesse and feel devoid of artifice. 

I tasted their 2016 Barbaresco Montestefano last fall and have been hunting down as many bottles as I could get my hands on. The wine blew me away. 

I should say that this was no easy task. In any given vintage, they produce 750 cases of Montestefano along with a tiny amount of Dolcetto. For years, the wines of Serafino Rivella were only known to a small group of insiders. In the past few years, that''s started to change quickly. When you combine the small production with a great vintage and a strong following, the situation is pretty ugly.

Today, I''m happy to offer a modest parcel of Serafino Rivella''s 2016 Barbaresco Montestefano for $99.95 on bottles and $94.95 in 4-packs. 

The heart and soul of the estate is the Montestefano Cru, which is one of Barbaresco''s best. The vineyard is directly outside of the family''s house. Montestefano is famous above all else for how it marries elegance, detail, and intensity. It''s a wine that soars with tightly coiled class.

The 2016 is an absolutely brilliant example of the breeding and complexity that Montestefano achieves in Rivella''s hands. There''s density, precision, silkiness, and incredible nuance. It possesses a radiant clarity, delivering spice, floral notes, herbs and hints of game. For all of its old-fashioned honesty, it comes off as sophisticated and nearly impeccable. 

Teobaldo and Maria Rivella follow ultra-traditional methods. Their decidedly old-school philosophy yields savory and understated wines with a whispering complexity. 

Serafino Rivella''s Montestefano is one of the most compelling examples of Barbaresco. Sadly, there''s never enough to go around. Please give us your ideal order, and we''ll try our best

Game-Changing Tequila

Teremana Tequila Blanco & Reposado

Teremana takes tequila to new heights.

There''s certainly no shortage of premium tequilas on the market. From a purist''s perspective, Teremana can compete with the best. However, there''s a difference. Most premium tequilas carry price tags to match. With Teremana, you get a top-flight tequila at a much more accessible price.

I''m pleased to offer Teremana''s Blanco and Reposado for $29.95 and $32.95 per bottle respectively. 

No corners are cut and no expense is spared. Starting with fully mature Blue Weber Agave grown in the Jalisco Highlands, the entire process blends the best of tradition with innovative touches. Notably, the agave roasts slowly for three days in a traditional brick oven. The agave is distilled in small copper pot stills that were custom-made, being built by hand with hammers at their distillery.

The patience pays off resulting in a Tequila with captivating notes of citrus and lemongrass. Its profile is one of sunbaked herbs, extraordinary brightness, and pure clarity.

Few, if any, Tequilas possess such well articulated flavors as there are no additives or tricks employed here. Purists must check out the pristine expression of the Blanco. The Reposado offers rounded layers of complexity that demand to be meditated on.

There is no spirit category that''s as red hot as tequila. It flies off the shelf. However, that''s brought major strain on the supply of agave and prices have jumped due to demand. Teremana is a game-changer both in terms of holding price and delivering sheer unadulterated quality. It has all of the hallmarks of a sipping tequila while maintaining price points that allow you to use it in cocktails without regret. I rarely encounter something that checks all the boxes as emphatically and compellingly as both Teremanas. I strongly encourage you to check out both the Blanco and the Reposado. They are without peer in their price point. 

I was hesitant to mention that Teremana is a personal labor of love of actor Dwayne Johnson because there have been so many celebrity-owned spirits marketed. Dwayne's approach has been different and not recognizing this as his passion project would be a disservice. He has been the driving force behind Teremana from its inception as evidenced by the 113 distillations that he required before arriving at the final blend for the Blanco. He has every intention to make this one of his legacies. His character shines through in Teremana as it is animated by transparency, integrity, and a sense of fun and lightheartedness.

"Offers very fine quality for its level" - Burghound

2017 Tribut Chablis

Tribut made gorgeous 2017s.

I''m shocked to be lucky enough to have another opportunity to offer his 2017 Chablis AC. 

Tribut''s 2017 collection has the richness and presence of the vintage with an intense salty, Chablisienne minerality coursing through it.

When it comes to Tribut''s 2017 Chablis AC, it''s undoubtedly one of the greatest vintages of the wine we''ve tasted. The 2017 has an uncommon amount of complexity and presence. 

What''s most striking is that the wine hits this extraordinary level of punch and length while maintaining a very classical profile. The 2017 Chablis is beautifully oceanic with the jagged mineral snap of archetypal Chablis. There''s a sculpted purity defined by subtlety, balance, and nice detail. You'll find a quarry of crushed rocks, fluorescent moss, briny seafoam, yellow-green fruit, and chalk.

Tribut''s 2017 Chablis is a dazzling and full-force expression of Chablis'' unique minerality. When I came across this parcel, I jumped on it. I suggest that you do so as well. Tribut made some of the most impressive wines of the vintage and this Chablis AC punches well above its weight class.

"Another knock-out effort... the 2016 is superb"

2016 Produttori di Carema Carema Riserva

When Produttori di Carema''s Riserva hits its mark, the wine represents some of the best value to be had in Piedmont.

Carema is about an hour''s drive from Barolo and amounts to its alpine cousin. It''s one of the most riveting and most versatile wines around.

The 2016 Riserva is a stunning vintage of the wine. It''s a definite equal to the 2013, which remains one of our most popular Piedmont offers. 

What''s so exciting about 2016 is how the vintage produced cool-toned and elegant wines with plenty of concentration. It''s pretty much a dream brew of well-defined aromatics, snap, and focus.

On the 2016 Riserva, Antonio Galloni writes: "Power and finesse come together so well in this textbook Carema." That serves as a very good summary. 

There''s a beautiful, radiant delicacy, but don''t let its lacy gracefulness fool you. Caremas possess impressive aging potential. Whereas Barolos and Barbarescos rely on their tannins to age, these wines age on their acid structures and overall balance and harmony. The silky briskness of these wines also allows them to drink well young.

Because of its stunningly singular expression of Nebbiolo, the appellation has achieved a renown that belies its tiny size. Carema sits in the shadow of Mt. Blanc and totals a mere 16ha.

The growers of Carema tend to have very small holdings, often 0.5ha or even less. This is where the quality-oriented co-op Produttori di Carema comes in. They handle the vinification and aging, which would be difficult for the small growers. The Carema Riserva represents a painstaking selection of the very best botti, the large casks traditional to the region.

We''ve been really impressed with what''s been happening at Produttori di Carema. The 2016 Riserva shows the Produttori in top form, and we''re very happy to offer it.

The Can''t Miss Ros?

2019 Ch?ne Bleu Vaucluse Ros?

Ch?ne Bleu is my go-to ros?.

I''ve never encountered a ros? that''s such a sure thing. Everyone I recommend Ch?ne Bleu to loves it and comes back for more.

It''s easy for me to understand because each summer I drink piles of Ch?ne Bleu. 

Ch?ne Bleu hits a somewhat magical equation of freshness, restraint, and intriguing depth of complexity. The sheer simplicity of the combination makes it all the more elusive to achieve. 

Part of the story is, of course, terroir. Ch?ne Bleu is situated at a relatively high elevation, and the soils are limestone. You sense this in the wine''s sleek mineral backbone and brightness. 

The ros? is mainly sourced from a north-west facing vineyard and another facing south-west. The former receives less sunlight than the latter. No doubt, this helps create the beautifully interwoven snap and richness of the wine. The grapes are what you''d expect from Provence and its surrounding areas - Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourv?dre, and Rolle, a white grape more commonly known as Vermentino. 

Ch?ne Bleu is a biodynamically farmed estate where grapes have been grown since the Middle Ages. It sits within the UNESCO-designated Mont Ventoux Biosphere Reserve. When Xavier and Nicole Rolet purchased the property in 1993, it had been abandoned for decades. They set out restoring the old buildings, including a priory from the 14th century, and the vines with the intention of producing world-class wines from their isolated location.

The ros? that they turn out is everything you could want. The care that goes into making it is obvious. It''s also clear that it originates from a place perfectly suited to ros? production. I strongly suggest that you take advantage of the special 4-pack pricing. You''ll find yourself wanting to drink this often during the warm months ahead.

A Perennial Overachiever

2018 Tribut Chablis

When it comes to classic Chablis AC, Tribut is one of the most important names to know.

Tribut''s Chablis is, without a doubt, one of the best village level wines in the region.

Tribut''s Chablis possesses a combination of intensity and refined mineral grip that''s rare at its level. 

The 2018 is a powerful example of the wine - deep, saturating, and mineral. It''s a really exciting wine.

As many of you know, the 2018 vintage is on the riper side of the spectrum. Just as in 2015, another warm year, Tribut turned out a really impressive collection and a seriously overachieving Chablis AC. 

Generally speaking, Tribut''s Chablis are unyieldingly classical and have always remained so even in warmer vintages. Even still, with a piling up of warm vintages recently, it''s been fascinating to watch how quickly winemakers have learned to adjust to the new climatic conditions to produce clear and snappy wines in warm years. Tribut''s 2018s compellingly illustrate this.  

The 2018 Chablis announces Chablis'' unique minerality loudly. It''s very detailed and has a clear fruit profile. The wine offers lots of presence and classy length. In the past, we''ve made a lot out of the Dauvissat connection (the now retired Laurent Tribut is Vincent Dauvissat''s brother-in-law), and here you definitely sense the kinship. The sea breeze quality, as Burghound points out, introduces a beautiful lift to the wine. 

As many of you know, Tribut''s wines have a huge following, and there''s never a lot of wine around. I suggest that you stock up.

Extreme Purity

2018 Colin-Morey St. Aubin
1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis

It wouldn''t be out of line to say that Pierre-Yves Colin''s work in St. Aubin has been crucial in establishing the domaine''s cult status.

This speaks volumes about how impressive his work in St. Aubin is. Colin has holdings in Grand Crus and top 1er Crus, yet savvy buyers hunt the En Remilly bottlings down with the same fervor as the Chevalier-Montrachet.

Seasoned Burgundy buyers have long sought out En Remilly for the ridiculous quality-to-price ratio it delivers. Colin-Morey''s wines from En Remilly are stunning. They serve as exemplars of Colin-Morey''s incredible ability to render the Chardonnay grape with such purity and riveting intensity.

Today, I''m happy to offer Colin-Morey''s St. Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis for $97.95 per bottle. 

Colin-Morey''s 2018s are seriously impressive. The wines hit an incredible balance. They have clear fruit, intense minerality, and perfectly integrated richness. Pierre-Yves has said that he''s learned a lot from previous warm vintages and has fine-tuned harvest times along with how he handles the grapes in the winery. The 2018s testify to how well-judged his strategy was.

The 2018 En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis offers a startling mingling of power, length, and elegance.  There''s serious breeding on display, along with a salty and stony minerality and soaring floral and citrus notes. You get a rigorous, finely etched core that adds further excitement.

Colin-Morey makes two bottlings from En Remilly. Nicholas et Mathis is the rarer of the two bottlings. It''s situated near the Grand Cru site of Chevalier-Montrachet. Compared to Colin-Morey''s basic En Remilly, Nicholas et Mathis is deeper and more textural.

I''m going to wrap this up. Every time that we''ve offered the En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis, we''ve been hit by a nearly overwhelming flood of orders. Please give us your ideal order, and we''ll try our best.

A Magical Combination: Value and Refinement

2018 Fornerol C?te de Nuits - Villages Rouge

We buy every bottle of Fornerol''s C?te de Nuits that we can get our hands on.

Very few Burgundies hit a combination of seriousness, drinkability, and affordability the way that Fornerol''s C?te de Nuits Rouge does. It simply nails it.  

It''s become very clear that our audience has taken notice. Every time we offer Fornerol''s wines, the response sends us scrambling to fulfill orders.

Fornerol C?te de Nuits Rouge is one of the greatest deals in sub-$50 red Burgundy. 

I have a soft spot for C?te de Nuits, mostly due to Bachelet''s wines. Didier Fornerol takes C?te de Nuits to a level of refinement and sheer deliciousness that I thought was impossible.

Fornerol''s Burgundies feel like time capsules. Their grace and lightness harken back to old-school Burgundy. The 2018 C?te de Nuits is an incredibly appealing vintage of the wine. There''s an unbelievable texture to the wine along with plenty of earthy, mineral, and spice inflected depth. The poise and detail of the wine are particularly compelling. 

Didier Fornerol was the vineyard manager and cellar master at Domaine de L'Arlot from 1982 until 1998. In 1999, he returned to his family''s domaine. Today, he has really fine-tuned the winemaking at the domaine with crucial help from L''Arlot''s legendary Jean-Pierre de Smet. Given how much we''ve loved many of the older L''Arlot wines, it''s no surprise that Fornerol is such an impressive discovery for us.

For a number of vintages, we''ve been singing the praises of Fornerol''s wines. Once you taste the C?te de Nuits, it becomes very clear that it''s special. The momentum behind Fornerol has really begun to accumulate. I suggest that you take advantage of the special 4-pack pricing while you can.

Wine of the Year #1: Ian''s Pick

2014 Roagna Barbaresco Albesani

Last fall I visited Roagna and was blown away. The 2014 Barolos were excellent, but the Barbarescos were incredible.

Sadly, vintages for Barbaresco often get lumped together with Barolo. To do so in 2014 would be to miss out in a big way. Barbaresco turned out gorgeous wines in 2014. The vintage comes close to delivering everything that we want - verve, clarity, and clear terroir imprints.

Antonio Galloni's summary captures the vintage nicely: "Vibrant, perfumed and beautifully delineated, the 2014s capture the essence of what makes Nebbiolo so compelling."

Of Roagna's incredible 2014 collection, along with their flagship Paj?, the Albesani was easily the standout. It is the inaugural vintage for the wine and it's an obvious star of Roagna's strong lineup. The Albesani cru is the source of Giacosa's famed Santo Stefano. The parcel that Roagna rents is near Giacosa's, and it is situated in the sweet spot of the cru.

Albesani has a high limestone content and it makes itself felt in a wine of incredible breeding, precision, and beautiful aromatics. It's finessed, energetic, and possesses a tensile mineral core. This amount of purity and sheer elegance are rarely encountered.

Roagna is a longstanding Piedmont traditionalist, but the estate is now one of Piedmont's greats. No one is making Barbaresco at the same level.  Along with Conterno, Mascarello, and Rinaldi, Roagna is part of Piedmont''s elite.The Albesani represents some of their finest work to date.

The Albesani has haunted me since I first tasted it last year. It is among the most refined and gorgeous young Piedmont wines that I've ever tasted. Its incredible harmony and depth promise that it will age beautifully for a couple of decades. The Albesani's extraordinary success demanded to be selected as my wine of the year.

Back Up The Truck - Piedmont Edition

2016 Giordano Barbaresco Cavanna

"A deep, vibrant, old-school Barbaresco" - Antonio Galloni

The 2016 Piedmont wines are incredibly impressive. Since last fall, I''ve been tasting them extensively. 

Without a doubt, Giordano represents one of the great finds of the vintage. At as low as $29.95, it offers unparalleled value. 

The style at Giordano is rugged, personality-filled, and very classic. They are soulful wines brimming with a slightly wild and totally captivating complexity. The fact that Giordano has holdings in some of Barbaresco''s top sites, including Montestefano and Asili, only makes this domaine more exciting. 

Their 2016s blew me away when I tasted them. Factoring in price, fascination, and quality, the Cavanna jumped out as the one. The 2016 Piedmonts are a dream brew of concentration, a cool-toned profile, and gorgeous balance. We''ve been tasting Giordano for the past handful of years and it''s clear that 2016 catapulted the wines to a whole other level. 

The 2016 Cavanna explodes from the glass with clear red fruits, floral notes, and spice. There''s plenty of punch and it has character to spare. Expect a real deal traditional Barbaresco, but in 2016 the grippy tannins are cushioned by the vintage''s layer of pure and bright fruit making it accessible for drinking now. 

Finding Barbaresco that delivers this much honesty and quality for the money is very rare. I advise you to stock up. Opportunities like this are almost unheard of and don''t stick around for long.

My Go-To Ros?

2019 La Fete du Ros?

La Fete du Ros? is the real deal.

This gorgeous, classic Proven?al wine delivers everything that I want from a serious ros?.

We''ve been eagerly awaiting the 2019 vintage, which will arrive next week, and I''m happy to offer it at as low as $21.95 in 6-packs.

La Fete du Ros? is the result of thoughtful parcel selections and numerous blending and tasting sessions at St. Tropez''s esteemed Domaine Bertaud Belieu. What founder/owner Donae Burston created is a glorious ros? with currents of ripe citrus, sunbaked herbs, and mineral drenched red fruits that provide the brightness and poise appreciated by all serious wine drinkers.

I first met Donae when he worked for LVMH. His feel and curiosity for wine and his entrepreneurial streak always impressed me. Throughout his fifteen-year career, the Baltimore, Maryland native has always been focused on including as many people as possible in the pleasures and mystery that wine can bring.

La Fete du Ros? checks all of the boxes. It''s very well composed, and it delivers the ros? experience that we all crave. This is a strong personal recommendation for a beautifully refreshing ros? value.

Bea Grand Cru

2012 Bea Montefalco Sagrantino Secco Vigneto Cerrete

To say that Cerrete is Bea''s Grand Cru is simplistic, for sure, but not inaccurate.

Bea''s importer, Neal Rosenthal, calls Cerrete: "Perhaps the greatest combination of height and exposition in the appellation."

Cerrete is Bea''s highest elevation vineyard. The elevation brings out a wild intensity along with lift and elegance. The combination is killer.

Compared to the Sagrantino Pagliaro that we love, Cerrete is both more explosively complex and lighter on its feet.

There''s something about the combination of detail, finesse, and unchained soaring complexity that makes Cerrete really compelling. It''s a wine that seems to take the magic of Bea and distill it down to its essential components. The 2012 Cerrete beautifully delivers Bea''s elegance and unruly complexity with notes of earth, spice, minerals, and herbs. 

Since its first release in 2007, Bea''s Cerrete has quickly gained a cult following. We don''t expect our modest allocation to stick around for long. Please give us your ideal order, and we''ll try our best.

"A wonderfully complete wine that impresses for its exceptional balance" -Antonio Galloni

2017 Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons

We were not prepared for the blazing greatness of the 2017 Moreau-Naudet collection. That''s saying a lot.

We have been beating the drum for Moreau-Naudet for the past five years. Still, the dazzling quality of the 2017s shocked us. This is a break out vintage that places them among the best of Chablis.

Their 2017 Vaillons leads the charge. We''re happy to offer the 2017 Vaillons for $57.95 per bottle and $52.95 in 4-packs. This is the lowest price in the country. 

Moreau-Naudet achieves a rare and almost magical balance between density and weightlessness. The wines are beautifully transparent, sensuously textured, and zippy. They are hard to deny. 

The 2017 Vaillons takes this harmony and fine calibration to the extreme. It''s a saturating wine with serious precision. You get tremendous depth married to a jagged saline minerality with citrus and floral inflected high notes. 

Moreau-Naudet is producing some of the most exciting wines coming out of Chablis. The 2017 Vaillons drives home the profound level at which they are working. I''m very happy to have come across a second parcel of this wine and to be able to offer it to a wider audience.

An Electric Overachiever

2018 Anne Boisson Bourgogne Aligot?

Boisson''s Aligot? has one of the strongest followings at Crush.

The Boisson family is making some of the most exciting wines of Burgundy. Their Aligot? highlights the incredible level of winemaking at Boisson. 

If Aligot? has a reputation for producing work-a-day wines, Boisson''s is something entirely different. It''s a wine of thrilling cut and jagged minerality.

Boisson''s Aligot? belongs to a small group of thoroughly compelling examples of the grape, like those of Bachelet, De Moor, and de Villaine.

We love Boisson''s piercing and complex minerality that has a Chablis-like seabreeze character along with smokey and pulverized rock notes. The minerality is complemented by layered citrus notes of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and lime.

The 2018 Aligot? represents all of these qualities amplified. In the riper vintage, the high acid and electric Aligot? grape thrived. It has a blazing acidity with an extra amount of polish and punch. The 2017 was one of the best examples of the wine that we tasted and the 2018 may actually be stronger. 

This is one of our go-to white Burgundies. The verve, focus, and exacting detail keeps us returning to the bottle. I urge you to take advantage of this offering. Being able to offer Boisson''s Aligot? is a luxury, and the immense fan club will come out to buy in quantity. Please give us your ideal order, and we''ll try our best.
