Displaying a deep ruby robe and a delightful array of fruit and earth tones to entice the nose, the 2010 Château Ducasse Graves immediately ingratiates itself to the thirsty palate. Dry, yet rich with the quintessential savory flavors of Graves, the 2010 Château Ducasse offers up a delightful mélange of blackcurrant fruit, cedar, smoked herbs and a touch of toasted oak to frame this Graves’ ripe tannins. With just 20-30 minutes of aeration...

The 2010 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and throughout the southern Rhône Valley is quite possibly the finest in the last decade or more. Neither lean nor overripe, Domaine du Vieux Lazaret’s classic 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers up seductive scents of savory Provencal garrigue and wild herb, and plenty of fruit, spice and mineral flavors to complement its haunting bouquet. From the wine’s dark ruby center wells a trove of ripe black cherry...

“So easy to drink,” and “Oh, I like this wine, a lot” are the two phrases I heard panel members use to describe the 2013 Château Andréa Graves Blanc, just before the scuffle that ensued for what remained in the bottle. Needless to say, the rest of us came up empty, didn’t get seconds and weren’t pleased. The winners just smiled. So much for sharing! Let’s see who doesn’t get invited back. Yes, the 2013 Château Andréa is deceptively easy to...

California’s Central Coast is one of California’s best sources for top notch Cabernet Sauvignon and thanks to picture perfect weather in 2013, a vintage that experienced neither extreme heat nor cold, the 2013 vintage produced outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon throughout the state. In the 2013 Cambridge Cellars Limited Cabernet Sauvignon, one gets treated to the essence of California Cabernet, including plenty of savory blackberry and currant...

Monterey is one of California’s best sources for top notch Chardonnay – pure mineral-driven Chardon-nay that reflects the appellation’s cool, distinctive terroir. In the 2013 Cambridge Cellars Limited Char-donnay, one gets to experience superlative Monterey Chardonnay as well as Douglas Danielak’s deft hand with one of the world’s great grape varieties.

Miner’s Napa Valley Chardonnay is the wine that first put Miner on the map, and the 2012 vintage demonstrates why this wine remains a classic. Miner’s 2012 Napa Valley Chardonnay is sourced from select low-yielding vineyards in Napa Valley and offers everything one could ask for in California Chardonnay. It provides an enticing set of aromatics followed by crisp apple, ripe melon and citrus flavors, all gently balanced by deft touches...

Sergio Gomba’s 2010 Querciola Barolo is the finest wine we have tasted from this excellent producer and that says a lot. The 2010 Sori is classic Barolo from an outstanding vintage that promises considerable longevity as well as immediate gratification. Although not as open knit as in the warmer 2009 vintage and better for it, Gomba’s 2010 Sori Barolo opens beautifully with an hour or more of aeration in a decanter (though even more aeration...
