Calet 2019 Blaye Cotes De Bordeaux
$29.9991pts & Best Buy – Wine Enthusiast: “Mainly Merlot, this wine has a dense structure, that emphasizes fruitiness first, the smoky structure second. It is potentially powerful, with acidity and black fruits at the end. Drink from 2024.” – ROGER VOSS

Springfield 2022 Whole Berry Cabernet
$48.99Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, ‘Whole Berry’ from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
Rabasse Charavin 2017 Plan De Dieu

The palate is full-bodied and structured, with ripe but firm tannins supporting a dense core of dark fruit and savoury spice, shaped by the gravelly, sun-baked soils of Plan de Dieu. Powerful yet balanced, finishing long and slightly rustic with lingering black fruit, herbal lift, and a warming, mineral-tinged grip.
Marcoux 2016/23 Chateauneuf Du Pape VV

Exceptionally long and refined on the finish, with a signature sense of purity and perfume that underscores its age-worthiness.
