94 points International Wine Review: "The 2015 Tenuta di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino begins with a gorgeous aromatic profile of cherries, orange zest, grapefruit juice and fresh ginger which all come together beautifully in this young Brunello. On the palate this is medium-to full-bodied, structured with soft, round tannins and a precise finish that is solid and compact. This will be accessible young but should develop also nicely with some short-term cellaring and drink beautifully for years to come. RV" (03/2020) 94 points James Suckling: "Quite und...
Ettore Spina and his wife, Enrica Bandirola, owners of Sesta di Sopra, planted a new vineyard to Sangiovese in 2005. It has the same Galestro soils as the others, perfect for taming Sangiovese's natural vigor. Unfortunately, in Montalcino all of the Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino vineyards are all registered and controlled, and they aren't allowing any more to be added right now, so the wine that comes from this new vineyard has to be designated an IGT (Indicates Geographic Tipicity).

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "From a great vintage, this wine both reflects the year and also shows the producer's trademark crisp style that keeps the wine's natural acidity. That approach lends itself to aging and this wine, now 11 years old, is still intensely fresh. It only just shows signs of maturity and toast. That means it will age further... (RV)" (12/2019) 94 points Wine Spectator: "Notes of oyster shell, graphite and spice are a fresh and aromatic entry for this vibrant Champagne, layered with firm, focusing acidity and flavors of poached apri...
100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Screaming Eagle soars out of the glass with vibrant notions of ripe blackberries, black cherries and fresh red and black currants plus wafts of licorice, candied violets, cedar chest and clove oil with a beguiling touch of sea spray. Medium-bodied with jaw-dropping elegance, the palate is finely textured and yet built like a brick house with a super taut backbone and exquisitely knit acidity. The intense black and red fruit flavors are accented by layers of mineral ...
91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This unique, twist-top blend of 80% Grüner Veltliner and 20% Riesling is Graham Tatomer’s white table wine, and it begins with aromas of dried lime peels and rocky seashore. The palate also shows dried lime and orange peels, as well as unique flashes of white pepper and thyme. (MK)" (02/2021) K&L Notes: **SF Chronicle's Wine of The Week - 3/24/21** From one of California's leading Austrian-inspired Riesling producers--which, granted, is a small but dedicated pool of talent--Graham Tatomer has made this new white blend inspir...

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Fragrant aromas of peach blossom, field flower and ripe white-stone fruit are front and center on the nose.

95 points Bob Campbell: "Delicious sauvignon blanc with a rich, creamy texture and lemongrass, crushed herb, lime zest and subtle oyster shell flavours. A lively, vibrant wine, with a hint of ginger and nut yeast lees characters." (10/2019) 94 points Sam Kim: "This is powerful yet stylish and beautifully poised, showing Granny Smith apple, white flesh nectarine, jalapeno and lemon pith characters on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent concentration and focus, together with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively lo...
94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2012 Pinot Noir Estates Reserve aims to showcase the attributes of all three vineyards and spends 18 months in French barrel, around 30 to 35% new. The nose is intense right from the start: dark cherries, wild strawberry and bergamot at first, hints of briar and fresh mint following behind. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin: dark cherries, black plum, a pinch of white pepper and a slight flintiness toward the finish. This is very nicely focused with just a touch of piquancy on the finish....
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The light gold-hued 2019 Chardonnay Winemaker's Reserve has a beautiful bouquet of ripe lemon, honeysuckle, white flowers, and subtle green almonds. Pure and medium-bodied, it has wonderful overall balance and just a great, lengthy style that's a joy to drink. It's a terrific value." (02/2021) 91 points James Suckling: "Peach, cantaloupe and blanched almond on the nose, followed by praline on the palate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with crisp acidity. Round and smooth." (02/2021) K&L Notes: 50+% off the winery SRP on this stunn...
This is a Pinot Noir-dominated blend from 6th Generation Champenoise Michel Forget's 1er Cru vineyards in Chigny les Roses, Coulommes la Montagne, Ludes, Montbre, Sermiers, Taissy and Villers-Allerand. Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier round out the blend (this changes from year to year), with roughly 30 months sur lie prior to 20-40% of reserve wines are blended in at dosage. This wine is aged for three years on the lees. It benefits from 40% reserves, and it gets its color from just 5% of intense Verzenay rouge. The Champagne has a nice light salmon color a...
91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Cotes du Roussillon (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Carignan) is another winner from this estate. Notes of black cherries, cassis and crushed flowers give way to a medium to full-bodied, supple, hedonistic Roussillon that has superb purity of fruit and outstanding length. It's going to be hard to beat on the QPR scale. (JD)" (04/2017)
95 points Decanter: "Pure and elegant aromas of lemon, white flowers and grilled peaches. Mineral on the palate with vibrant acidity and juicy fruit. Burstingly complex finish. (DWWA)" (09/2020) K&L Notes: The Choblet family established their vineyards in 1945 in what would become the Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu appellation. Now three generations deep, brothers Herve and Nicolas Choblet work together from vine to bottle to make some of the most interesting and dynamic Muscadets in the region. The vines are planted on a mix of mica-schist but mostly gra...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Pure perfection in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Scarecrow’s 2018 reveals a dense purple hue as well as an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, toasted spices, chocolate, darker currants, and graphite. This carries to a full-bodied, dense, off-the-charts sexy 2018 that has the vintage’s purity and freshness backed up by flawless balance, a layered mouthfeel, and building yet elegant tannins. This cuvée is hard to resist given its texture and wealth of fruit, but it will ideally be given 3-5 years and should evolve for 30...
Wine Spectator: "This fleshy red shows black cherry, spice and herb flavors with firm tannins. It has good concentration and while it's drinkable now, it should improve. " (06/1997) K&L Notes: Joël Taluau was a fabulous grower in St. Nicolas de Bourgueil known for making some of the purest expressions of Cabernet Franc in the Loire, unmarred by the intrusion of oak--which he hasn't used in production since 1986. He was also the first producer in the appellation to begin domaine bottling. The Vieilles Vignes, from a single plot of Cabernet Franc planted...

(07/2020) 91 points Vinous: "Luminous red with ruby highlights. Very clean rose and flinty notes add complexity to the pungent red and black fruit-accented nose. Clean fresh and lively in the mouth, with similar flavors to the aromas. This becomes much sweeter with aeration so make sure you decant a couple of hours ahead. From vineyards that are devoted only to m...
SF Chronicle / Esther Mobley's Wine of the Week - 4/7/21. Winemaker's Notes: "Gloriously pale pink with a salmon edge, the 2019 is another classic in the style of Provençal Rosés. Intense aromas of white peach and strawberries are followed by a silky smooth and fresh entry on the palate. The minerality and bright acidity nicely balance the fruit characters. This wine is irresistible, either a stand alone sipper, or paired with light summer fare, especially grilling fare, spicy Asian dishes, or a variety of soft cheeses such as a chevre.

The Guerrero region has only been minimally explored by the mezcal loving public. For those in the know, no name in the region resonates more than Tomas Gutierrez of Sanzekan fame. If you're an agave nerd then you know exactly what we're talking about. If not, Sanzekan is a small cooperative of mezcal producers in and around the communities of Chilapa de Alvarez. They're renowned for some of the highest quality production anywhere in Mexico, but the brand is not sold outside of Mexico. Now for the first time ever, Mal Bien has managed to secure stocks fr...

Stunning concentration and vibrancy at the very long, super fine finish. Drink or hold." (04/2021) 96 points John Gilman: "The 2019 Himmelreich Auslese AP #16 from Weingut Prüm is a stunning young wine. The bouquet is so pure and precise, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, white grape, a hint of tangerine, honeycomb, bee pollen, citrus zest and a beautiful base of sla...
93 points James Suckling: "A delicious red that shows red plums, brambleberries, undergrowth, cedar and freshly cut herbs. Medium to full body, delightful, juicy tannins and a tangy, medium-long finish. A blend with equal measures of Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Drink now or hold."

A mineral element emerges on the long finish. Shows fine balance overall. *...
98 points John Gilman: "The 2019 Himmelreich Spätlese from Katarina Prüm is utterly brilliant! The bouquet is so expressive already, soaring from the glass in a constellation of fresh pineapple, lime, casaba melon, bee pollen, wild yeasts, a beautiful base of minerality and a pungent floral topnote divided between scents of white lilies, apple blossoms and lilacs. On the palate the wine is pure, dancing and medium-full, with flawless balance and grip, laser-like focus, beautiful mineral undertow and a very, very long, filigreed and lifted finish. This is...
Next day shipping recommended. The "Born" sake takes its name not from a Japanese word, but a Sanskrit one meaning "innocent pureness" or "capturing the truth." And it does feel like some secret truth about Gohyakumangoku rice is captured here, quite poetically, in the form of an unfiltered, full-bodied, complex sake made by Katokichibee Shouten, a 350-year-old brewery. Genshu is the first-press, undiluted sake and has a higher alcohol content than other styles.

Originally a mysterious oddity only known to the hardest of the hardcore Kentucky bourbon fanatics, Black Maple Hill rode the popularity explosion in craft whiskey to its demise - almost. As the boom peaked, along with BMH's prices, the supply of their confidential, age-stated whiskeys essentially dried up and Black Maple Hill exited the market, it seemed. Undaunted, the brand's owner sought far and wide for new supply, and he found his diamond in the rugged and rough high plains of northeastern Oregon - the Steins family farm and distillery. Originally ...

One immediately notices the darker color due to the Black Koji Kin they use to make this Kojimai. There's a musky, rich flavor and it's very yeasty with a good amount of floral aroma signifying the Daiginjo. There's a strong attack, strong body, and a solid finish. There's a strong presence of tart green apples and pears. This is a very unique sake.

The rise and evolution of this cuvée over the past 15 years, and particularly since the construction of its dedicated facility in 2007, has showed no sign of slowing today, as Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon continues his fanatical regime of experimenting, tweaking and refining every detail. I’ve long adored Brut Premier, a grand pinnacle and dependable bargain in the non-vintage Champagne stakes. (TS)" (08/2020) 9...

Screw cap." (08/2020) 90-92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The sample of the 2019 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett is still very reductive on the bright and floral nose. Juicy and round on the palate, this is a salty-piquant and stimulating Kabinett with good freshness and tension. Tasted in April 2020. (SR)" (08/2020) K&L Notes: 91pts Mosel Fine Wi...

Complex, but still tightly wound and reserved. The palate is very concentrated, dense and elegantly poised with such powerful tannin, carrying concentrated blueberry and dark-cherry flavors long. Really taut, fully ripe and mouthwateringly intense Pinot Noir. Dark cherry-pit freshness to close. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better in five years."

Isojiman has taken great care in sourcing the very best sake rice available for over 30 years, back at a time when that was not a priority for most of the industry. Rice farmers have remained loyal to the brewery as well, often sending their best harvests to the brewery. The Isojiman Junmai Ginjo shows remarkably bright tropical fruit with notes of apricot and pear, all made possible by AAA rated Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture, milled to 55%. Easily one of the best producers in Japan, which boasts a cult like following there. Few producers con...

The legendary Masumi Brewery in Nagano is widely considered one of the finest Sake operations in Japan. Founded in 1662 in the town of Suwa, the brewery committed to perfection and extreme attention to detail without giving up tradition. Their famous President Masaru Miyasaka and his prodigy brew master Chisato Kubota became famous for traveling across Japan like Buddhist monks in search of knowledge and truth in Sake production. Indeed, Kubota is responsible for discovering a new and highly prized yeast strain in 1946, forever cementing Masumi Brewery's...

The origin of Pineau des Charentes is a happy accident when a Cognac producer inadvertently dumped a load of grape must in a vat that still had some Cognac left in it. About a year later he realized what had happened but decided that the concoction was delicious. Today's Pineau des Charentes is essentially made the same way i.e. adding freshly pressed, unfermented grape must to the previous year’s eau de vie and then aging it for a minimum of eighteen months, with at least twelve months spent in oak barrels. The Charentais do have a habit, however, of ag...

This is a fairly thick and chewy "nigorizake" (cloudy sake), but it is still surprisingly dry. The aromas are bright and fresh and they show a lovely ricey and fruity combination. In the mouth, this sake has solid weight and gives the same flavors of fresh fruit and creamy fresh rice that your nose told you about. The finish has a pleasant astringency and is nicely mellow, beckoning you for another mouthful. You will rarely taste a classier nigori at this price. This maybe the ultimate food-friendly nigori.

95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 1990 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a wine that I had not tasted for a number of years. For a long time it was stubborn and tannic, uncommon attributes in what was such a comely vintage. Now at 26 years of age, this bottle served by Xavier Borie suggests that finally the 1990 has come round. Deep in color, it has a gorgeous bouquet of black fruit, potpourri, graphite and melted tar. There is warmth here, but it does not impede upon the articulation of its origins in Pauillac. The palate has clearly melted in recent yea...

96 points John Gilman: "The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is seldom one that reveals all of its charms early on in its evolution, for like the Doctor vineyard in Bernkastel, the Sonnenuhr hides many of its layers of complexity for the patient who give the wines proper bottle age. I have to assume that this is also true of the 2019 Spätlese from Weingut Prüm, but given how uncharacteristically expressive the wine is right out of the blocks on the nose, I can only imagine what lies ahead!

The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese was made with fruit harvested at 93° Oechsle and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (62 g/l).

This beautiful Junmai Ginjo is aged for a minimum of 3 years in Hakkai Brewery’s snow-storage room, called the Yukimuro. The flavor is initially subdued, before it unfolds into the rich and solid sake that it is.
