Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2021, 0.75L
Marsanne / Roussanne from Hermitage, Rhône
"Vinified from grapes that were harvested as late as the 26th of September, the 2021 L'Hermitage Blanc was cropped at 38 hL/ha, above the levels of 2022. It dazzles with vivid spring blossom,
honeysuckle, lemon peel, white peach, quince, apricot and discrete cedar aromas. Medium-bodied and immaculately balanced by bright acidity, this is an athletic L'Hermitage Blanc with marked freshness and energy. A saline aftertaste wraps up the sapid finish. Outstanding." 96, Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, Oct 2023

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph 2021, 0.75L
Syrah from St. Joseph, Rhône
"A tasting of the various constituent lieux-dits revealed that the Bachesson parcel had a peppery side and its characteristic rose scent, and an unmistakably granitic texture. The Chalaix lieu-dit was precise, fine, with no huge concentration but good balance. Lieu-dit Dardouille was looking promising, with good weight and length. The finished blend of the domaine’s St-Joseph is likely to be neat, precise and fresh, with a distinct mineral side, one to drink relatively young. There will be no separate bottling of Clos Florentin this year due to frost." 93 Matt Walls, Decanter Magazine
"The 2021s here are certainly strong wines in the vintage. The 2021 Saint Joseph is a healthy dense ruby/purple hue and offers textbook Saint Joseph aromas and flavors of black fruit (there's a hint of red fruit as well), graphite, ground pepper, and some meaty, bloody nuances. Medium-bodied, it has beautiful tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and outstanding length." 92 Jeb Dunnuck

Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2020, 0.75L
Marsanne / Roussanne from Hermitage, Rhône
"Another heavenly white from this estate is the 2020 Hermitage Blanc, which is the usual 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne from a mix lieux-dits. Incredibly perfumed with notes of acacia flowers, buttered stone fruits, toasted brioche, honeysuckle, and crushed stone, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered texture, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. The purity, balance, and intensity here are just about off the charts, and this beauty deserves a solid decade of bottle age, although you'll be excused if you drink one in its youth as well." 99 Jeb Dunnuck

Jean-Louis Chave l'Hermitage Rouge 2021, 0.75L
Syrah from Hermitage, Rhône
"A tasting of the constituent lieux-dits before blending was as instructive as ever. Péléat was smooth, silky and red-fruited with good acidity; Beaumes slightly meatier, a little less concentrated than a typical year, but with good tannic drive; L'Ermite was serious, dry and mineral; Bessards very strict, with tight, rigid tannins. The final blend is likely to produce a structural rather than generous style of Hermitage, with tannins that will need a long time in bottle to settle. This will be ascetic in youth, then complex and textural with age." 96 Matt Walls, Decanter Magazine

Whitcraft Winery Chardonnay Pence Ranch 2018, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Sta. Rita Hills, California
"Clean and precise aromas of packed white flowers, tropical citrus and lime soda show a tinge of tart dairy on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. There's tremendous tension on the palate, where citrus-spray elements give an edge to the more generous nectarine and pineapple flavors. It also offers a finish that leaves the mouth invigorated." 94 Points Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast

Whitcraft Winery Pinot Noir Pence Ranch Clone 459 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills, California
"When Drake Whitcraft took over the family winery in 2007 (the winery was founded two decades before, in 1985 by his parents, Chris and Kathleen) his goal was to make balanced Central Coast wine of purity, honesty, and finesse. The resulting wines are clean and impeccably balanced. They represent a cross section of the emerging class of site-specific wines coming out of Central Coast California today."
