  • Simi 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

    $14.99

    Sonoma County California
    Beverage Testing Institute 88 Rating
    Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of plum butter, nutmeg, spiced raisins, molasses, and earl grey tea with a satiny, vibrant, fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, stimulating, medium-length finish with moderate oak flavor. A solid Sonoma Cabernet that checks all the boxes.

  • Simonnet-Febvre 2019 Chablis Vaillons

    $49.99 – $480.00

    Burgundy France
    Wine Enthusiast 94 Rating
    Whiffs of yeast and sun-dried hay mingle into pert yellow cherry and greengage plum in this full-bodied but sharply honed Chablis. Pristine in fruit profile and bracing with acidity, it’s a cool-toned, classically styled Chablis despite the hot vintage. Elegant in youth, it will likely improve through 2035.

    This has excellent freshness with notes of sea shells, sliced apples, wet stones and a touch of jasmine. Crisp and brisk, medium-bodied, with a subtle peppery spritz at the end.

    This sparkling wine is the only one made in the Chablis region. That's a shame, because with its great toasty character, crisp yellow fruit flavors and its beautifully delicate mousse, there should be more like it in Chablis.

  • Sine Qua Non 2015 Syrah Trouver L’Arene

    $399.99

    Central Coast California
    Wine Advocate 100 Rating
    Composed of 80.5% Syrah, 7% Petite Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, 2% Grenache and 3.5% Viognier, all sourced from estate vineyards—37% The Third Twin, 36% Eleven Confessions and 27% Cumulus—the 2015 Syrah Trouver L’Arene was made using 34% whole cluster and has a deep purple-black color with intense cassis, black plums and black cherries scents plus hints of anise, violets, sage and tar, with wafts of savory/smoked meat suggestions. Full-bodied, this voluptuous beauty is seriously singing in the mouth, belting out vibrant red and black fruit flavor layers, all framed by very fine, rounded, ripe tannins and a wonderful freshness, finishing with persistent perfumed fruit and a spring in its step. 1,778 cases and 600 magnums were produced.

  • Sine Qua Non 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular

    $399.99

    California
    Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
    One of the finest Grenaches to ever pass my lips is the 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular and it’s 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvèdre, 7% Touriga Nacional, and the rest Petite Sirah. Reminding me of an old vine Grenache cuvée from the Maurel brothers in Châteauneuf du Pape, it boasts a huge nose of black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, graphite, ground herbs, and pepper. This is one of those wines that offers incredible intensity and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sense of heaviness whatsoever. Full-bodied, rich, layered, and pure, it’s a riveting example of Grenache that could come from nowhere else. Drink it any time over the coming 15+ years. R38-4 SP20-1

  • Sine Qua Non 2016 Grenache Pajarito Del Amor

    $599.99

    California
    Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
    Coming all from the estate Eleven Confessions Vineyard and 85.4% Grenache, 7.1% Petite Sirah, 6.9% Syrah, and a splash of Viognier thrown in for good measure, the 2016 Grenache Pajarito Del Amor was brought up 38 months in 54% new French oak demi-muids and the balance in varying used barrels ranging from 2 to 6 years in age. There are just 916 cases of this magical wine, which easily ranks with the greatest Grenache-driven wines to ever come out of California. Deep purple-hued, with an incredible array of cassis, blackberries, toasted spices, caramelized meats, white pepper, and graphite, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an expansive, layered mouthfeel, and a blockbuster finish. This is one of those wine that wows from the first sip and is flawlessly balanced, with ripe tannins, incredible purity, and a singular character. Drink this elixir any time over the coming 15-20 years. R29-2
