Muga 2016 Torre Muga Rioja
$109.99Spain
James Suckling 98 Rating
The purity of fruit to this is very, very intriguing with blackberries, graphite, and charcoal. Full-bodied. It radiates intense fruit with perfectly polished tannins. Subtle asphalt and blue fruit. Very long and beautiful. Racy. Tempranillo with graciano and mazuelo. Needs two to four years of bottle age. Try after 2021. SP39-2 -
Muga Prado Enea 2014 Grand Reserva
$89.99Rioja Spain
James Suckling 97 Rating
Really beautiful aromas of crushed blackberry, brambleberry, hazelnut, walnut and light coffee, following through to a full yet so reserved and polished body with fine, creamy-textured tannins. Fresh and exquisite finish. This is a much more refined and harmonic rendition of their classic wine. Three years in French oak from their own production. Very enjoyable now, but this will improve with age for a long time. R41-5 -
Napanook 2017 Red Blend
$84.99Napa Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
The 2017 Napanook checks in 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. It offers classy notes of cassis, black currants, toasted spices, and hints of flowers. With lots of chocolately richness, medium to full body, and beautifully ripe tannins, it's layered and has impressive depth of fruit, followed by a great finish. It's going to evolve for 15-20 years. It's an incredible value in classic, impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. SP13-3 -

This has the profile of the vintage down pat, delivering a beam of focused and dense cassis, plum and black cherry reduction notes that cruise along, while flashes of alder and sweet tobacco peek through. Ripe and solid, with a harnessed feel throughout. BX-6 -
Nickel & Nickel 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon John C. Sullenger Vineyard
$89.99Oakville Napa Valley
Wine Spectator 93 Rating
This has a lovely, caressing flow to its cassis, dark plum and blackberry puree flavors, while well-integrated toast runs along the edges, with a mix of sweet bay leaf and anise. There's a subtle loamy hint at the end, while the purity of the fruit wins out easily. Drink now through 2033. SP30-4 -
Nickel & Nickel 2019 DeCarle Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2019 DeCarle Vineyard Cabernet presents a harmonious blend of dark fruit and woody aromas. On the palate, black and blue fruit notes are complemented by touches of oak and barrel spice that give this wine an intriguing complexity that begs for a second sip. Exceptionally well-balanced, this wine’s lifted acidity persists all the way through the finish. BX-6 -

No Girls 2013 Grenache la Paciencia Vineyard
$139.99Walla Walla Valley
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
Leading off the 2013s from bottle, the 2013 Grenache la Paciencia Vineyard is getting up there with some of the top Grenache releases to come out of the New World. Incredibly perfumed, with notes of herbes de Provence, flowers, dried strawberries and assorted red fruits, it’s medium to full-bodied, seamless and impeccably balanced. The buzz words here are perfume, complexity and elegance. It’s also worth noting that the Grenache vines for this wine come from the famed Rayas lieu-dit in Chateauneuf du Pape. SP18-1 -
No Girls 2013 Syrah la Paciencia Vineyard
$139.99Walla Walla Valley
Wine Advocate 93 Rating

Moving to the Syrah, the 2013 Syrah la Paciencia is another pretty, perfumed, medium to full-bodied effort that reminds me of a Cote Rotie from the southern, Cote Blonde end of the appellation. Crushed flowers, raspberries, violets, incense and dried herbs all emerge from this elegant, seamless Syrah that has fine tannin and a clean, focused finish. It will drink well for a decade. SP15-2
