Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Chassagne Montrachet, Burgundy
"The vineyards farmed by the domaine were so badly damaged by frost and rain in 2021 that the premier cru parcels in Chassagne (like the village-level vines) were blended together. At the premier cru level this includes Chenevottes, Caillerets, and Abbaye de Morgeot; the result was seven barrels instead of 25, but the quality of what remained was tremendous, with ripe apple and pear fruit aromas kissed with a floral edge and a firm mineral note. The texture showed pleasant density and nice 'shoulders' – admirable length, breadth and substance. This is impressive wine by any measure." 95 Charles Curtis MW, Decanter Magazine
"This is the first and only time Pierre-Yves will make this cuvée. It is a direct product of the miserly yields in Abbaye de Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines, all of which were vinified more or less separately. Dense, pretty and crystalline in fruit purity, the focused citrus and white peach fruits extended into a long finish. This could use a few years to relax." 94 Christy Canterbury MW, TimAtkin.com

Quinta de Muradella Alanda Blanco 2021, 0.75L
Doña Blanca / Treixadura / Godello from Monterrei, Galicia
"The 2021 Alanda Blanco is a village wine from Monterrei, a blend of Dona Blanca, Treixadura and Verdello that reflects the diversity of soils, altitudes and expositions. The varieties fermented together, being added to the vat progressively, and 1,500-liters matured in a used French oak foudre for 15 months and the rest was kept in stainless steel. It's pale, young and austere, more about soil and rocks than fruit, with notions of wet granite and dry flowers. It has contained ripeness, 13% alcohol, very good acidity, freshness and balance, with a sense of purity and transparency that is common to all whites here. It has depth, energy and light and extra vibrancy this year. It could very well be the finest white Alanda to date. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023." 95, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Nov 2023
“The 2021 Blanco Alanda, a blend of Treixadura, Doña Blanca,
and Blanco Lexítimo, hails from the small DO Monterrei in Galicia. Partially
aged in a French oak foudre, this yellow-hued wine has an enticing nose that
unfolds notes of herbs and pear, with a subtle oak layer. Creamy and
refreshing, it flows with a velvety texture stirred up by calibrated acidity.” 91, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Dec 2023

Mayacamas Chardonnay 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Mt. Veeder, California
"The 2021 Chardonnay is a rich, phenolic wine that shows just how distinctive this site is. Rich and layered, with striking intensity, the 2021 is lights out today. Lemon oil, almond, dried flowers and earthy undertones open beautifully with aeration. (Drink between 2024-2031)" 95, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2021, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley, California
"The 2021 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is dense, heady and explosive. Russian River exuberance comes through, but amplified in all of the good ways and none of the bad. Even with all of the richness and intensity, the 2021 retains good freshness as well as energy. A touch of whole clusters brightens the finish nicely. Paul Hobbs’ 2021 Pinots are sensational. I tasted the wines twice, several months apart, and was blown away both times. It’s not an understatement to say everything has changed here in recent years. In the field, the focus has shifted towards cooler sites and leaving more leaf cover, while fruit is picked a bit earlier than in the past. Vinifications are much gentler, and the oak imprint, once such a signature here, has been lessened. The result is a set of Pinots that scream with purity of fruit and the essence of site. This level of quality can’t be achieved by a single person but is very clearly the work of an entire team. Bravo.” 95 Antonio Galloni, Vonious.com, Dec 2022
