97 points Wine Enthusiast: "This sleek but powerful and concentrated wine offers enticing and deep black cherry, graphite and cocoa aromas followed by fine-grained tannins that tighten up as you sip. The wine is built for the long haul, needing time for more complexity to develop and the texture to soften. *Cellar Selection* (JG)" (04/2024) K&L Notes: The wines of Beau Vigne are now crafted cult winemaker Julien Fayard.

96 points Wine Enthusiast: "An inviting floral note in the aroma leads to beautiful cherry and berry flavors and an agreeable, moderately tannic texture in this full-bodied but approachable wine. It shows more complexity with each sip, and ends with a lingering finish. Best from 2026-2036." K&L Notes: The wines of Beau Vigne are now crafted cult winemaker Julien Fayard.

The Buselli Estate Oakville Cab is the definition of a hidden gem! After arriving in San Franciso in 1961, Italian immigrants Rosalia and Italo Buselli bought a small plot of land in the eastern hills of Oakville in 1988. In 1990 they planted 4 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard is directly adjacent to Rudd Estate and also neighbors Dalla Valle, David Ramey's Pedregal Vineyard and Tierra Roja Vineyard. It's about as prime of a location as one could wish for in Napa Valley. For several decades the Buselli family farmed their vines and continued sup...

90 points Vinous: "The 1970 Croft Vintage Port has a russet core. The nose is detailed and focused with an attractive bouquet of cooked meats, mulberry, spice and leather. It is light and feminine, although it never really develops the nuance that I was hoping for in the glass. The palate is vigorous and not quite as elegant as the 1966: a little more alcoholic and unrefined, the finish more linear with liquorice, burnt toffee and raisin. Moderate length. (NM)" (06/2018) Wine Spectator: "Refined, supple and fresh. Medium ruby, with a nose of plums and ...

94 points Wine Advocate: "Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard has a slowly opening nose of dried rose petal and violet, charcuterie, peppercorn, warm red cherries, dried herbs, dusty earth, bergamot and warm blackberries. It's light to medium-bodied with a silky texture and intense, spicy, earth-accented fruits, framed by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. (EB)" (02/2020) 94 points Vinous: "The 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is dark, plush and totally seductive. Black cherry, plu...

96 points Vinous: "Bernard Magrez's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. It is made in a much more restrained style than the wines of the past. There is plenty of natural Napa Valley richness, but not the heaviness that marked some earlier vintages. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice, spice and chocolate unfold first, followed by brighter floral overtones and redder fruit that develop with aeration. Bright, salivating acids give the 2018 a real sense of poise. This is by far the most elegant and refined wine Bernard Magrez has made in Napa Val...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship is the 2017 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate comes from vines around the estate, in the Laguna Ridge region of the Russian River Valley. It saw just touch of stems (10%) and was brought up in 45-55% new French oak. This ruby/purple-hued beauty offers an incredibly elegant, seamless profile that carries perfumed red currant, raspberries and cherry fruits intermixed with white flowers, spice, and underbrush. While one of the most elegant and seamless in the lineup, it doesn't skimp on fruit and has plenty of intensit...

97 points Decanter: "Showcasing the lovely freshness of high-elevation Mt Veeder grapes. Vivid boysenberry and mulberry fruits give way to mountain herbs, dusty minerals and rich toasty cedar. A compact wine revealing black-fruited flavours and savoury herbal nuances alongside sculpted tannins that are pixelated and mouthcoating. An impressively long finish of iron shavings, baked agave and dried chaparral. (JC)" (06/2022) 96 points James Suckling: "Blackberries and black currants with grape skin, lead pencil and pine cone. Full-bodied with round tanni...

98 points Int'l Wine Review: "The fascinating and exuberant 2020 Sur Echalas Vineyard Grenache from Horsepower showcases a medium to dark purple and ruby core with a silvery rim in the glass. Aromas bounce from the glass - think notes of wet earth, umami, crushed macerated red cherries, and blood orange essence. It has an interesting meaty quality to it that is quite intriguing. Gliding across the tongue with no rough edges at all, it ends silky smooth with ample acidity and a lovely earth and spice-driven finish. Just a small production of 300 cases wer...

93 points Whisky Advocate: "Barbecue lovers will find refuge in this whisky, which smells like a Fourth of July party—there are burnt ends, mesquite smoke, charcoal grill, brisket, and grilled corn husks. A hint of strawberry sweetness balances out these meaty, smoky flavors. The palate is surprisingly fruity, with strong notes of raspberry coulis, ripe red berries, and orange scone. Long-lasting spice, cooling menthol, and rooibos tea on the finish complete this winding, mouthwatering journey. (JH, Summer 2023)" K&L Notes: A- from Drew Beard of Drinkha...

97 points Int'l Wine Review: "The Horsepower 100% Syrah from the High Contrast Vineyard sees all neutral oak for a period of 18 months. It’s another stellar wine from the winemaking team of Cayuse. More earthy and mineral on the nose than its siblings, it gifts notes of crushed boysenberry, black plum, ground mushroom powder, black Spanish olives, and smoked game. Structured and precise, it finishes long and with a meaty and earth-driven finish. It’s not a wine for everyone, but everyone should try it. Only 466 cases were made. Highly recommended." 97 p...

88-91 points Burghound: "Note: from Les Crais Gillon, Clos Solon, En Seuvrey and Corvée Creunille A much earthier and more deeply pitched nose reflects notes of plum, dark currant and a whiff of red pinot fruit. There is better volume and richness if not the same refinement to the nicely textured and persistent finale that gradually reveals a touch of austerity." (01/2023) 89-91 points Jasper Morris: "No whole bunches here, with 25% new wood for the elevage. A little deeper in purple than the Chambolle, with a fine dark raspberry fruit. Drier wood tann...

99 points Int'l Wine Review: "Another impeccable wine from Horsepower, this 100% Syrah is aged for 18 months in all neutral oak to let the sense of place and terroir shine through. It’s my favorite from the line-up and sports an eye-popping deep blue and purple core with a lovely neon purple rim in the glass. Boastful aromas of spiced boysenberry, dried blueberries, freshly cooked bacon, black-peppered charcuterie, umami, and crushed stones pop on the nose. Meaty on the palate, with a secondary hit of iodine, blue plum, and crushed herbs creates an inter...

97 points Wine Enthusiast: "Powerful, seamless and saturated with flavor, this giant of a wine goes deep in black currants, black cherries and mint aromas. The dense, rather firm texture holds a tasty mélange of black cherries and black figs shaded by cedar, cocoa, tobacco and espresso. It needs several years to open up. *Cellar Selection* (JG)" (04/2024) 95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The inaugural vintage, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Rhythm comes from the Stags Leap District and is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Fr...

94 points Decanter: "Fermented with its indigenous yeast and macerated for 40 days with a submerged cap, then aged in large oak casks for 24 months. The fruit is restrained, cherry kernel-like, with sweet violet, balsamic hints and rhubarb minerality. Savoury on the palate, it shows velvety tannins of significant extraction with long-lasting acidity. A wine focused on the roots rather than on the fruits; restrained, mineral and of great austere elegance.

95 points Vinous: "Deep, shimmering ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, incense and potpourri, while olive and exotic spice nuances emerge with aeration. Palate-staining cassis, kirsch, spicecake and olive flavors show outstanding detail and are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. A core of juicy acidity lends freshness to the strikingly long, penetrating and smoky finish, which features polished tannins and resonating floral and spice notes.

96 points James Suckling: "Lovely, leafy aromas of fresh garden herbs, drying tobacco leaf, bay leaf, grilled plum and baked strawberry. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, slightly tense tannins. An array of juicy red and black fruit and berries on the palate. Almost some white tea notes come through, such as lavender and chamomile. Focused and long." (04/2022)

96 points Decanter: "Bricco Fiasco is a single cru, vinified by itself since 1978, today from vines of 85 years old. The wine, after long maceration and ageing in botti grandi, opens up to smoky woodland notes, with citrus leaf, bark, wild strawberry and rose water delicacy. Full of sucrosity on the palate, the attack is youthful, with firm acidity and grainy, very elegant tannins. Structure and concentration are perfectly woven and poised, giving to this cru terrific balance which will count for ageing. (AF)" (01/2023) 95 points Wine Advocate: "Bricco...

93 points James Suckling: "This is really powerful on the nose, with reduced aromas of blackberries, raspberries and cherries. Full bodied, with loads of velvety tannins and a thick, jammy after taste. But it's balanced and pretty. (JS)" (02/2011) 92 points Wine Advocate: "Although closed at present, Merus’ inky/purple-colored 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon displays enormous power and richness. It is a massive, blockbuster-styled effort possessing black fruits, plenty of spicy oak, hints of licorice and graphite, and mouth-staining tannins and extract in the ...

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Few Cabernets in the world are this ripe. It floods the mouth with sweet, soft blackberry and cherry flavors, complicated with notes of currant, oak and a spicy, exotic hint of plum sauce. You can taste the California sun in every sip. Drink it now for its fruit. " (11/2012)

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Rich and robust with smooth tannins, this Lake County Cabernet tastes deliciously austere, with leather, cedar and earth layered over crisp mountain berry fruit. More like the Xurus 2007 than the 2008, it should age just as gracefully, with its savory nature strengthening over time. (VB)" (08/2013)
