"Fragrant and fruity nose of violets, purple plums, cassis, honey and cloves. It’s creamy, balanced and nicely filled out with a medium to full body and well-integrated tannins. Joyful. Drink or hold." - Claire Nesbitt

The 2021 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley was harvested between 4 September and 8 October. The blend comprises 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. After blending, it was barrel-aged for 24 months in American oak, 50% of which was new, followed by 14 months of bottle ageing prior to release. The wine is beautifully layered and highly fragrant, with remarkable precision and focus in this vintage. Medium- to full-bodied, it integrates the hallmark Silver Oak American spice character through cedarwood aromatics, elegant whispers of vanilla bean, and nuances of fresh fennel (from more refined American oak barrels crafted after precision trials of both seasoning and toasting from the American oak cooperage they own in Higbee, Missouri). Supple dark-cherry and blackberry fruit are framed by graphite minerality, violets and clove, building in richness and complexity across the palate. Suave and silken, the dark-berry fruit is wrapped in a tapestry of velvety tannins, gliding to a focused finish of brown baking spices and crisp, clean acidity.

A medium ruby color, the 2022 Barolo Albe marks the 50th vintage of this cuvée. Aromas of fresh cherries, spice, and ripe orange peel lead into a medium-bodied palate with purity and polish. Already quite appealing, this is a wine I would happily order by the glass, and it should drink beautifully over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.

A very generous, luscious and focused chardonnay with a good core of fruit and spices, bright acidity and a textural, rounded mouthfeel. Well made, poised and stylish. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Isosceles is remarkably pretty, with a peppery array of wild herbs, mint leaf and tart cherries. Silken in feel, it reveals depths of ripe red and black fruits that slowly saturate as a core of vibrant acidity maintains energy throughout. The finish is structured and long, leaving a tart concentration of primary fruits and a balsamic twang.

This is an enjoyable red, with aromas of smoke and berries. Crunchy acidity adds energy to a fruit-driven palate. Cranberry, cherry and strawberry blend with thyme over a soft texture that directs the flavors through the savory finish.

17 John Paul Martins - Grandes Escholas

17.5pts out of 20pts "Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela, from high altitudes and transitional schist/granite soils. Made with little maceration, it immediately attracts with its enormous purity of fruit, with notes of fresh berries, cherry, raspberry. Very smooth tannins, very light toast accompanying the fruit, a light, elegant, delicious red."

96 Richard Baudains - Decanter Magazine

A blast of sour berries, candied peel, undergrowth and freshly cut herb aromas. No less exuberant on the palate, this is a big, dry, gritty, concentrated mouthful which bursts with energy in all directions. Objectively, it needs a little bottle time to come together, but in the meantime it is a wonderful celebration of a traditional style from one of Montalcino’s longest established estates.

The 2023 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County) is another fine appellation-level offering from Presqu'ile. Sweet red cherry, cedar, tobacco, dried flowers and herbs all grace this mid-weight yet juicy Pinot. This floral, savory red is all charm.

Such a fresh and juicy Alsace pinot noir with plenty of strawberries and raspberries. The slight sappiness to the tannins adds to the impression of freshness. As it aerates it gains some earthy complexity on the mid-palate and softens at the end. Still very youthful. Drink now.
