Burgundy
Vosne-Romanée "Vielles Vignes", Michel Magnien, Burgundy, FR, 2021 (4th generation family winemaker)90pts Burghound
Nose is comprised by notes of exotic tea plum & anise along with a subtle floral hint. There is again very good richness volume & vibrancy to the medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere balanced & sneaky long finale.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir "Bressay Estate Vineyard", DuMOL, Sonoma, CA, 2021Bright effusive aromatics that run the entire spectrum of red to blue to black fruits amongst notes of pepper, thyme, pine needle and orange zest. The finish is expansive, supple and full of bright energy, with a long lingering echo of flavor.
White Burgundy
Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes", Jean Noel Gagnard, FR, 2022Decanter 92Points.
The fruit ripens well here and the wine shows a ripe, exotic note on the nose, while the palate has a dense, rich texture, but the wine never loses sight of its balance. Lovely length and great potential for ageing
Last Chance
Red Blend, Amulet Estate, Napa Valley, CA, 2017RP: 93. Aromas of red rose and crushed strawberries with a smooth, round palate and flavors of Japanese plum, warm cherry, and milk chocolate. A hint of creme de cassis and soft currant linger on the finish.

Green tinge to the yellow color. It’s ripe, with tropical fruit, sliced mangoes, peaches & pineapple, yet there’s a green apple note as well. Full-bodied & dense, with a creamy texture & a long & sophisticated finish..
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir "Cuvee Elizabeth, Bodega Headlands Vineyard", Occidental, Sonoma Coast, CA, 202195+ Pts. Wine Advocate
Luminous, aromatic, & beautifully lifted. High-toned bouquet of red berry fruits is accented by floral notes of fresh rose petals. There is a crystalline, salty edge bracing the raspberry & bright tart cherry fruit.
