  • Guado al Tasso 2016 Bolgheri Superiore

    $159.99

    Tuscany Italy
    James Suckling 98 Rating
    Beautiful center palate of fruit here with ripe and silky tannins that are resolved and fine-grained. Full-bodied, polished and ever so refined. Oyster shell, stone and hints of rosemary and lavender. Driven finish. Better after 2022. R39-1

  • Guado al Tasso 2019 Bolgheri Superiore

    $139.99

    Tuscany Italy
    James Suckling 98 Rating
    This has a wild and perfumed nose of dried thyme, sage, blackberries, cocoa, graphite and white and green peppercorns. Then dried flowers. Full-bodied with firm, tight and precise tannins. Vibrant. There’s so much character and structure. A new benchmark for this winery. More cabernet franc than in the past. Best yet? 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% cabernet franc and 10% merlot. Try from 2025. R39-3

  • Guado al Tasso 2022 iL Bruciato

    $24.99 – $276.00

    Tuscany Italy
    Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
    An opaque purple blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, the 2022 Il Bruciato is luxurious with notes of blackberry liqueur and some blue fruit coming through along with notes of violets, olive, and black licorice. Full-bodied, with a weightless and seamless feel, it has no harsh edges and offers ripe tannins with a supple texture, fresh acidity, and clean ripeness through a rather long finish. This gorgeous wine checks a lot of boxes and is drinking beautifully now. It offers a lot of finesse as well as a wide drinking window. Drink 2024-2040.

  • Guidobono Birbet Piedmont

    $24.99

    Italy
    The Birbet is a sparkling red wine made from 100% Brachetto, the black-skinned variety best known for its sweet and frothy dessert wines. This is a fun and fruity, highly aromatic wine with classic perfumes of strawberry, raspberry and red roses. It is lovely paired with chocolate, fruit desserts and panna cotta, but can also accompany savory treats like light antipasti and cheeses.

  • Guigal 2019 Gigondas

    $39.99 – $198.00

    Southern Rhone Valley France
    Wine Spectator 91 Rating
    Understated style, with light incense and worn cedar notes running along the edges of the slightly dried currant, raspberry and red cherry fruit flavors. The cedary edge lingers longest in the end. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2023 through 2030.

  • Hacienda Lopez de Haro 2018 Crianza

    $13.99 – $144.00

    Rioja Spain
    Cherry color, with russet tones around the rim. Assemblage of aromas from the barrel (cream, cocoa, and vanilla) with black as well as ripe fruits. Typical Tempranillo licorice aromas at the end with spicy notes. On the palate, it has a pleasant, elegant profile and it shows fresh sensations from beginning to end. A good structure, provided by the Tempranillo variety, but with the velvety character of its barrel aging. In the end it is reminiscent of cherry and leaves a very pleasant unctuous feeling.

  • Hacienda Monasterio 2012 Crianza

    $39.99

    Ribera del Duero Spain

    The current vintage for the crianza is 2012. The 2012 Crianza, from a dry vintage, resulted much fresher than expected, fresher than 2009 and 2011 in fact. The vines are dry-farmed and were planted some 22 years ago, and you might say they have matured by now. The approximate mixture of grapes in their vineyards is mostly Tempranillo with some 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Malbec, and it's more or less the blend in this wine. The Cabernet works well, providing finesse and some acidity to the Tempranillo. Merlot does not work that well, and they are regrafting it to Cabernet and Malbec, so in future vintages there will be less of it. The wine matured in 20% new French oak barrels for some 20 months. There are no traces of the barriques and the nose took me to the Riberas of yesteryear, with some subtle rusticity; it's ripe without excess and there's good balance between fruit, spices and perhaps something earthy. The palate is extremely balanced, medium-bodied with very fine tannins, tasty, approachable and long. This could very well be the best crianza ever produced at Monasterio. This has to be one of the bargains of the vintage in Ribera, given the quality it delivers. R5-1

  • Hacienda Monasterio 2020 Crianza

    $55.99 – $564.00

    Ribera del Duero Spain
    Hacienda Monasterio 2020 is a dark, bright and concentrated red wine with complex aromas of ripe black fruit accompanied by notes of liquorice and mineral hints. On the palate, the entry is fresh, clean and lively. This is a medium-bodied wine with well-polished tannins and energetic acidity. The finish is long, smooth and silky.

  • Hall Wines 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

    $54.99 – $300.00

    California
    Wine Advocate 90 Rating
    The winery's largest bottling, approximately 38,000 cases, is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley. Primarily from the Hardester Ranch in Pope Valley, with other major contributions from St. Helena, Soda Canyon and Glass Mountain, it's a medium to full-bodied effort, with bold flavors of cherries, cassis and cedar. It's easy, but not soft, nicely firm, with a long, silky-textured finish.
