Domaine Roy & Fils Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2024

Willamette Valley

September 21, 2026 - Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a skillful blend of the Iron Filbert Vineyard in Dundee Hills and the Quartz Acorn Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, planted with Clones 76 and 95.

Jeb Dunnuck - August 17, 2026 "A bright yellow hue, the 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is dry-farmed and comes from the only blend of the two estate vineyards, originally founded with Jared Etzel. Aromas of lemon…

Vinous - July 01, 2025 "The 2024 Chardonnay Incline Willamette Valley is zesty and intense from the first tilt of the glass, as flintstone mingles with citrus rinds and crushed green apples. Mineral-drenched orchard fruits…

Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Marlborough

September 16, 2026 - Dog Point’s Sauvignon Blanc takes a category of wine and completely transcends it, with an intensity, depth and energy that so obviously sets it apart from the first encounter. When they decided to make a pure stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc, Dog Point pushed to the ultimate every process to produce top quality, distinctive wine. They hand-pick fruit at low yields, green harvest at times, and ferment partially with indigenous yeasts. This wine helped make Dog Point a key advocate of premium wine production in New Zealand, and for New Zealand across the world.

Wine Advocate - June 11, 2026 "The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is textural and salty, savory and complex. I love this wine for its tether to place, but its elevation beyond it. It isn't overt in its…

Wine Spectator - April 29, 2026 "Complex and highly detailed, with notes of honeysuckle and lemon oil, plus touches of saline and grilled Meyer lemon. Yuzu, pomelo and citron flavors, along with lemongrass and fresh ginger,…

Tenuta Luce Luce 2022

Toscana IGT

September 14, 2026 - Luce is a bold, Super Tuscan wine that blends the power of Sangiovese with the roundness of Merlot, creating a unique expression of Montalcino. Born from a partnership between the Marchese Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, the wine combines dark fruit, floral and spice notes, and chewy tannins, showcasing the region’s distinctive character. The estate’s name, “Luce” (light), is inspired by the altar at Florence’s Santo Spirito church, reflecting the estate’s deep-rooted history and the balance between tradition and innovation.

James Suckling - May 08, 2025 "A dark and complex wine with aromas of bramble fruit, graphite and minerals. Full-bodied, it shows huge extraction and supple fruit concentration. Firm tannins with a stern but good finish."

93

Wine Enthusiast - September 14, 2026 "The wine is leather wrapped on the nose with black cherry and hoison. The wine’s opaque juice is powerful looking, and doesn’t disappoint. The palate has strength but the balance…

E. Guigal Condrieu 2023

Condrieu

September 14, 2026 - E. Guigal Condrieu is one of the world’s most exotic and distinctive wines, celebrated for its intense aromatics of apricots, white peach, and citrus, complemented by a luscious, almost umami-rich body. The appellation is small and challenging, with steep slopes that could have led to its disappearance were it not for the efforts of Marcel Guigal and a few other influential figures. Today, Guigal is the leading producer in Condrieu, ensuring a continuous supply of this rare wine, with its signature wild and floral aromas that are like no other white wine in the world.

Wine Enthusiast - September 14, 2026 "The aromatic nose of this golden wine expresses summer peach, floral, and herbaceous notes. The textured palate is similarly bright and intriguingly textured, with stone fruit and minerally characteristics followed…

James Suckling - April 14, 2025 "A juicy, mellow and delicious Condrieu with aromas of peaches, sweet lemons, white flowers and some almond milk. Medium-bodied with a charming, velvety and rounded character to the palate and…

Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel Rioja 2020

Rioja DOCa

September 11, 2026 - Born in 1986 from the Marqués de Riscal’s close relationship to some of the top winemakers in Bordeaux, the Barón de Chirel in many ways kicked off a new era of Rioja. Chosen from very old (80-110 years), low-yielding parcels of high-altitude Tempranillo and Cabernet vines around Elciego, these grapes undergo a meticulous process of selection before a special vinification process. The care that goes into this wine has cemented its prestige among discerning customers.

Wine Enthusiast - May 01, 2026 "Commanding intensity and palate coating tannins lead the charge with this full bodied Tempranillo from Rioja. Aromatics of crushed fennel seed, wet tobacco and cocoa linger through flavors of dark…
