Pinot Noir
2021 Deovlet La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills
2022 Domaine Arlaud - Bourgogne Rouge Roncevie (PRE ARRIVAL)
A wonderfully fresh and ripe nose combines notes of red currant, plum and a whisper of earth. The sleek, delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors terminate in an inviting and refreshing if lightly rustic finish. This is very good for its level plus it o...
2019 Domaine de Montille - Vosne Romanee Malconsorts Christiane
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts has turned out brilliantly. Mingling aromas of blackberries and cassis with hints of orange rind, rose petals, licorice, sweet spices and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a deep ...
2022 Domaine de Montille - Beaune Greves (PRE ARRIVAL)
This is aromatically more complex but also more reserved with its nose of warm earth, poached plum, violet and softly sauvage nuances. There is good power and punch, if only average density, to the muscular and lightly stony medium weight flavors that dis...
2022 Domaine de Montille - Pommard Pezerolles (PRE ARRIVAL)

Discreet wood can be found on the equally floral-suffused aromas of ripe yet cool red berries, kirsch and rose petal. The wonderfully sleek, detailed and overtly mineral-driven medium weight flavors are akin to rolling a small pebble around in the mouth o...
2018 Domaine Della - Pinot Noir Sonoma Sonoma Coast
Crisp red fruit, citrus and blueberry brighten a core of biting acidity in this coastal appellation wine, impressive in texture and length. Coated in cinnamon, nutmeg and black tea, it offers the best of the variety’s fruit and savory components.
2022 Domaine des Lambrays - Clos des Lambrays (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2022 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is a blend of 11 different cuvées and includes, for the first time, the plot of "30 Rangs". This vintage includes 80% whole bunches, and like La Richemoine, it is deftly subsumed on the nose, which blossoms with viv...
2019 Domaine du Clos de Tart - Clos de Tart Monopole
The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is first vintage where winemaker Alessandro Noli has 100% responsibility and so the buck stops with him. Firstly that dialling down of new wood was the correct decision because already it is seamlesly entwined within the ar...
