Alban Vineyards 2019 Syrah Lorraine Alban Estate Vineyard
$199.99Edna Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 99 Rating
The 2019 Syrah Lorraine is ultra-classic and is about as textbook an example of this cuvée as I can recall. Black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, and baking spices all flow to a full-bodied, round, velvety textured, utterly seamless Syrah with ripe tannins, a great mid-palate, and a gorgeous finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s impossible to resist today (and I see no need to delay gratification), yet it will continue to deliver the goods any time over the coming 20-25 years. SP15-6 -
Alban Vineyards 2019 Syrah Reva Alban Estate
$109.99Edna Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
Moving to the Syrahs, the 2019 Syrah Reva reveals a much cooler climate-like style in its blackberry, graphite, pepper, and bouquet garni-like nuances, and it picks up an almost Cornas-like game and white pepper character with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe yet polished tannins, and a great finish. It reminds me slightly of the 2018, although with slightly less concentration. It will evolve for 20-25 years. SP14-6 -

Alban Vineyards 2023 Viognier
$29.99Central Coast California
Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
All from the estate and brought up in a mix of tank, oak, and terra-cotta, the 2023 Viognier Central Coast has a lively, perfumed nose of ripe stone fruits, brioche, apricot, and savory flower notes with a textured style. This rich, concentrated, food-driven beauty will shine on the dinner table. CF-5 -

This has aromas of baked apples, cream, hazelnuts and lemon curd. Creamy and supple, with a full body, and nice freshness too. So drinkable.

Alexana 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Revana Vineyard
$59.99 – $300.00Oregon
Wine Enthusiast 92 Rating

This pings the palate with cola and black cherry flavors, along with minerally acidity that buoys up rather than tarts up the palate. It’s lighter than the previous vintage, balanced and appealing, with that streak of cola lingering on through the medium length finish.
