The 2019 vintage of Château Puyanche is their best and highest rated to date. It boasts a harmonious blend of Cab Franc, Merlot, and Cab, showcasing a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. Expect to be greeted by notes of ripe black fruits, subtle spices, and a hint of oak, all wrapped up in a silky-smooth texture that lingers long after each sip. This is one that is great now, but somehow, even at this price-point offers years more of excellent drinking.
97 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This exquisite Chardonnay has been meticulously crafted to showcase the best of what California has to offer, with each sip promising a journey through layers of flavor and texture. The palate is greeted with rich notes of ripe tropical fruits, beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity and a touch of oak. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression that will linger on your palate long after the last drop is gone.

92 Points (#57 Top 100 of 2023), Wine Spectator
Jose Manuel Martinez’s flagship Albarino is his ‘Turonia’ bottling. This is age-worthy Albarino that you probably didn’t even know existed. It’s sourced exclusively from decades-old Albarino vines that are precariously set in hillsides of sheer slate. Every vine is over 30 years of age, and Manuel Martinez only chooses the best parcels for the bottling. It should be no wonder then that such a ridiculous good value would make its way into Wine Spectator’s Top 100.
