Baumard 2023 La Caleche
$37.99Low yields, hand harvesting and farmed according to organic principles. 9 months in vats on fine lees.
Aromas of pears, lemons, peaches and honey with floral and mineral hints. Great tension on the palate, which is pure with persistence and incredible precision. An easy wine to drink with well-balanced acidity and great structure.

$44.9985% Hondarrabi Zuri, 15% Chardonnay
Fully hand-harvested. Fermentation is mostly in stainless steel at low temperatures to preserve aromas, using natural yeasts. Apple and pineapple aromas. Fresh and mineral with good body, roundness and balance.
Marquis D’Alesme 2018 Margaux
$154.9955% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aging in 65% new oak
96 Points, Robert Parker: Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with bold, expressive black cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and red roses scents with touches of baking spices, potpourri and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.
95 Points, Wine Spectator: Gorgeous mouthfeel right from the first sip, with a velvety, fine-grained texture that lets the range of dark plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors splay out without losing focus, while mouthwatering black tea, alder and mineral notes wait gracefully in reserve, showing just a hint, for now, of what they can do on the finish.
Palmer Rose Solera N/V
$131.99“This has a pale copper color with gingerbread, Danish, spiced apple, crushed rock and pink grapefruit aromas. Some truffles and pink salt, too. It’s tight, focused and spicy, with salty undertones and very fine bubbles. Majority chardonnay with pinot noir and pinot meunier from 2017, blended with 45% reserve wines and 8% red wine from a 45-year-old solera. 94 points.” -James Suckling
Narrative 2022 Rose
$25.99Expect juicy strawberry, rhubarb, and apple blossom with a creamy texture and a touch of sagebrush. It’s bone dry, with a crisp finish that makes it perfect for sunny days and light bites.
Marcio Lopes 2021 Clarete Proibido Douro
$19.99Bright and easygoing with juicy red fruit, think raspberries and blackcurrants, plus a hint of herbs and crushed stone. Light-bodied, fresh, and balanced, this chillable red is all about fun and flow. Lightness of a rose with the power of a red.
