Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
| This vintage is limited and extraordinary: they only produced about half the usual volume due to the 2017 fires near the winery: dark fruit and baking spices with a Napa-lush texture. For the fan of deep extracted wines, this is your bottle. WSoP Rating: 93 Points |
Vite Colte “Luna E I Falo” Barbera D’asti Superiore
| A muscular Northern Italian red with significant oak influence. Aggressive tannins coupled with a pretty blue floral note are unique and compelling. The mocha-vanilla-fig finish is a long study in deliciousness. WSoP Rating: 90 Points |
Château Jérémie “Y” Corbières Boutenac
| Majority Carignan, with Syrah and Grenache filling in the gaps. Black cherry and dark chocolate with violet. A layer of crunchy red fruit keeps this bottle vibrant and elegant—just enough violet and mineral to put this into the luxury wine category, despite the low price. WSoP Rating: 91 Points |
Nine Hats Pinot Gris, Columbia Valley
| The combination of Columbia Valley and Pinot Gris is a heady one. Honeycomb, basil, and oyster shell stitched into fresh lemon zest. Pure joy and light-footed, this works surprisingly well with crab cakes and old bay. WSoP Rating: 88 Points |
Trefethen 2018 Estate Chardonnay, Napa Valley
| Before the butterballs of the ’90s, Napa Chardonnays were more like this. Elegant layers of quince and hazelnuts are buoyed with bright apple and tomato skin. WSoP Rating: 91 Points |
