93 points Wine Advocate: "Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Hidden Block has a pretty nose of underbrush, soil, mint leaves, pure red and black cherries, rhubarb and strawberries with lovely floral notes coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with bright fruits and loads of spicy, earthy accents. It has a firm, finely grained frame and seamless freshness, finishing long and nuanced. Lovely! 225 cases produced.

93 points Vinous: "The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate Upper Picnic Block is eminently charming in its sweet-fruited, exuberantly spiced, medium-weight build. Layers of kirsch, raspberry sauce, cinnamon, cardamom and iodine mark a wine of sexiness and sensuality. Again, this is a style reflective of a different era for Neely. Growing season differences notwithstanding, the 2018 checks in at 14.1% alcohol, nearly two full degrees higher than the 2021 tasted alongside. I prefer this edition, as it’s still finessed but has more stage presence and inner harmony. The ...

95 points The Wine Independent: "Pale to medium garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Melange Rouge has a profound nose of red and black cherries, violets, and dark chocolate with underlying licorice, Sichuan pepper, smoked meats, and tar. The medium to full-bodied palate is lively and vibrant - pop-rocks in your mouth - with lots of texture interest combining plush and chewy, and bright and lifted fruit leading to a peppery finish. The blend is 54% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 9% Graciano, 6% Petite Sirah, and 6% Viognier. The wine was fermented with 40% whole cluste...

94 points Vinous: "An enticing blend of dried roses, peppery spice and woodland berries wafts up from the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard. This is vividly fruit-focused yet crisp in feel, with tactile minerals adding a crunchy sensation as tart red and blue fruits swirl throughout. It tapers off youthfully tense, leaving a staining of primary concentration while silty tannins frame the experience well.

(AG) " (06/2019) 91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block Q is distinctly different from the base cuvée and is all Pommard clone, from vines planted in the 1970s, that was 75% destemmed and spent 16 months in 50% new French oak.

94 points Wine Advocate: "94+ points "The top of the range here is the 2016 Futa Cabernet Sauvignon, from a specific plot from their vineyards in Marchigüe, and it is complemented with 14% Cabernet Franc. It fermented at a controlled temperature, never exceeding 24 degrees Celsius, with soft pumping over and matured in French barriques for 24 months. This has remarkable freshness and harmony. I've seen an improvement in the Cabernet Sauvignon from Calcu and Maquis, and this is a very good example of it. There is perfect ripeness and a notable absence of ...

Angelique and Damien (The "A" and "D" of A.D. Coutelas) have 17.5 acres, mostly in Villers sous Chatillon, but also in Ambonny, Bouzy, Vitry-le-François, and Troissy. Their family has been growing since 1809 and started making their own Champagnes in the '20s. The majority of their vines are over 60 years in age, and all the work in the vineyards and cellar is done by hand.

Like art in a bottle. Kent Humphrey created the Eric Kent winery as a celebration of art and craft. He sources fruit from some of Sonoma County's best vineyards and he partners with local Sonoma artists to feature their work in a sort of wine label gallery. Each wine Kent creates features a new and distinct piece of art. For Kent’s part, after pursuing a career in academia and advertising, he found a home in the wine cellar, and began working with vineyards he loves throughout Sonoma County.

It was not barrel aged, just steel tanks and concrete eggs for 10 months, this shows the character or, better, Colomé's vision of its high-altitude terroir in the middle of the Andes.

Deep garnet-purple in color, it rolls out of the glass with notes of warm cassis, Morello cherries, and plum preserves, plus hints of unsmoked cigars, spice cake, and dried roses with a waft of mossy tree bark.

The wine opens with captivating aromas of black fruits, dark cherry, and subtle floral notes, followed by layers of ripe black plum, raspberry, and wild berry bramble. Complex undertones of black pepper, mocha, and smoky oak further elevate the aromatic profile. On the palate, velvety tannins provide structure and elegance, seamlessly integrati...

Ripe blackberries, hints of red fruits, spicy herbs, leather, and pepper all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel and fine tannins. It shines for its overall balance and purity every bit as much as its richness and power. Enjoy bottles over the coming 10-15 years."

The palate has a lot of purity and a crystalline, ripe feel, with a hint of delicate richness coming through. More red-fruited than the 2021, the inclusion of some Calera and Dijon clones gives it its textural component, and it has ripe tannins and a long finish. Drink 2025-2040. (AF)" (08/2024)

Made by two incredible winemakers collaborating across neighboring regions. Mark Herold takes B. Wise fruit from their Napa vineyards (75%), and Massimo Monticelli takes estate grown fruit from B.

Great mineral lift introduces this wine with a beautiful depth of complexity. Aromatics of crushed chalk and lemon pith swerve towards more layered savoury notes of petrichor, smoked salt and struck flint.

A rare single vineyard Bien Nacido Vineyard bottling from the iconic Calera Wine Co. This very small bottling (typically only available to the winery's mailing list customers and at the tasting room) came from a single block of the original 1973-planted Chardonnay vines at Bien Nacido. These vines were recently pulled out and replanted meaning that this 2019 bottling is the final swan song for this storied parcel of vines. *Winery Direct*

98 points Decanter: "One of the most exciting domestic Syrahs, this wine beautifully showcases a well-crafted expression of the ‘classic’ funk of The Rocks. The deep umami notes come from the concentration of flavours in the berries due to the vines’ low yields. Notable aromas of green olives and peppers, violets, and meats complement those flavours. This Syrah includes 50% whole cluster and spends 40 days on the skins, enhancing its complexity and depth."
