One of the modern classics for d’Arenberg, this is fermented with a high proportion of lightly pressed viognier skins and then has shiraz added late in the elevate to tone the viognier influence into balance. The aromas are fresh, richly spicy and lead by exuberantly ripe blackberries and dark plums with toasted spices and meaty elements. The palate has such richness and exotic, powerful tannins carry ripe dark plums and berries long and deep. Impressive depth and composure. Drink over the next decade.

Dense and rustic, with charming notes of campfire, salumi and espresso that show firm, dusty tannins. There are plenty of black pepper accents to the core of cassis, blackberry and dried sage. Shiraz and Viognier. Drink now through 2039.

Restrained dark bramble fruit and vibrant spiciness, with notes of cold coffee, earth and bay leaves. The attack is dense and velvety, with thick, ripe tannins that are a bit sandy. Ripe and full-bodied with crisp acidity and good length focused on graphite. Power and grace, with a restrained chocolate aftertaste. Drink or hold.

The dense blue/purple-colored 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate possesses a complex bouquet of black cherry and black currant liqueur, forest floor, baking spice and subtle background oak. This rich, complex, full-bodied 2009 is just beginning to open and show tertiary nuances. It should continue to age well for 20-25 years.

"Broad and attractive. Aromas of ripe fruit and spices on the nose, with balsamic notes as well and tobacco leaf. Persistent and fluid on the palate, with moderate tannins, and savoriness."

Bright cherry color with a garnet rim. Deep nose, with notes of stewed plums, crème de cassis, blackberries, smokiness, dark chocolate, cigar box, graphite, bay leaf, lavender, violet pastille, and inkiness. On the palate, the wine is complex, with great vibrancy, structure, elegant tannins, balance, and a long retronasal finish.

Hints of violet, clove, anise and graphite are a delicate, aromatic thread woven through cherry compote, plum skin, dried thyme and mineral flavors. This is supple and harmonious, with fine tannins firming the finish. Drink now through 2029. 5,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.

"This is an attractive Sancerre. Aromas of bread dough, muddled bosc pear, and golden apple charm the nose along with orange zest and baby's breath. The palate is well-integrated with orchard fruit shining through supported by crushed stones and chalk-dusted acidity that refreshes. -RS"

This Pinot delivers aromas of black cherry, plum and fried shiitake on the nose. The palate delivers grippy tannin and flavors of blackberry, nori, cinnamon and spice. Drink now with grilled gamebirds or portobello mushroom.

93 Wine Spectator

A bright, floral- and red berry–driven red, featuring rose, strawberry, cherry and wild herb flavors. This is elegant, yet with a firm base of well-integrated tannins. Shows fine harmony and length. Best from 2026 through 2042.

The Cascina Adelaide 2020 Barolo 4 Vigne is made with fruit from four sites (Preda in Barolo, Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, Fossati in La Morra and Pernanno in Castiglione Falletto). The wine is perfumed and intense with tart plum, pressed rose with the bitter part of the petal, smoke and cured tobacco. The heat of the 2020 vintage has transferred that extra power to the bouquet but also to the palate. The wine ends with young and very tight tannins.

Coming from a mix of noteworthy sites in the valley and mostly Cabernet (there's some Merlot in the blend, I believe), the 2018 Napa Valley Red Wine sports a dense purple color to go with a full-bodied, opulent, monster of a wine that carries loads of red and black fruits, notes of spiced meats, dried tobacco, and chocolate, ripe tannins, integrated oak, and a wonderfully mouth-filling texture. This is about as opulent and sexy as 2018 gets and it's well worth seeing out. It's going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 15-20 years.

"One of the most spectacular 1994s, this opaque purple-colored wine is an exotic, flamboyant, ostentatious port. Extremely fragrant and pungent, with a flashy display of jammy cassis, pepper, licorice, and truffles, this port is an attention-grabber. Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. Everything is in place, with the brandy and tannin well-integrated, even concealed by the masses of fruit and glycerin. This wine will drink fabulously well at age ten, but keep for up to thirty years. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2035."
