I was able to secure 1 Hall Wines Platinum Cabernet Collection from the amazing 2013 vintage in Napa. As you can imagine with Hall, it’s pretty darn rare and special. The three wines featured are all Hall’s top Cabs, their Rainin Vineyard Diamond Mountain Cab, their “Bishop” Cabernet and the “Sacrashe Vineyard” Rutherford Cabernet. Always scored big, in 2013 it was a whole other story including a perfect 100-point score from Parker himself. Here are all the 2013 scores for this amazing trio:
Hall ‘The Bishop’ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2013 (WE-96, RP-95)
Hall “Sacrashe Vineyard” Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ( JD-98)
Hall “Rainin Vineyard” Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ( RP-100)

The former assistant winemaker and apprentice for Helen Turley at Marcassin, Matt Courtney left to start something special at Arista in 2013 and is well on his way. The winery has expanded, their waitlist for bottle allocations now stands at 18-months and every critic in America raves about these wines. His 2018 Arista Russian River Valley Chard is a gem, one that earned 94 pts from Parker’s Wine Advocate and 93 pts from Jeb Dunnuck who advised, “This is one incredible appellation Chardonnay that should be snatched up by readers.”

The former assistant winemaker and apprentice for Helen Turley at Marcassin, Matt Courtney left to start something special at Arista in 2013 and is well on his way. The winery has expanded, their waitlist for bottle allocations now stands at 20+ months (!) and every critic in America raves about these wines. This appellation Pinot Noir is a particular treat in 2018, a benchmark in silky smooth, layered and concentrated Pinot Noir that has both grip and grace.

“Firm lines of graphite and loamy earth streak through the opulent aromas of black plum and dried violet on the nose of this brooding Pinot Noir. The palate is a whirlwind of exuberance, as leathery tannins wrap around more graphite minerality, dried violet and lavender, stewed plum and a touch of bittersweet cocoa on the finish.”
It’s good to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! Our relationship with the Wagner family has given us seconds while many others still way for firsts. These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook Caymus in a great year in Napa. This might be their best rendition in a decade. Wine Spectator called this one a “rich and showy style”.

“Zeroes in on a rich, hedonistic core of wild berry, blackberry, plum and currant, with a graceful, elegant mouthfeel and supple, caressing tannins leading to a long, powerful and refined aftertaste that keeps reverberating while maintaining a strong personality. Drink now through 2030.”

95 Points, James Suckling
Drawn from some the finest parcels on the storied hill of Montosoli, home to some of the most famous and sought after wines, James Suckling says of the tiny and charming Cerbaia’s 2016 release: “Extremely aromatic with plums, black cherries, flowers and some orange peel. Hints of cedar and sandalwood. Full-bodied with firm, silky tannins that are polished and very pretty. This is really well crafted and poised.” In a year where 2016 Brunellos took us by storm, this one takes the cake.

“This great Barsac is just beginning to open up and not only has incredibly fine mango, papaya and star-fruit character but also something mineral. Great concentration and textural complexity right from the tip of your tongue to the end of the extremely long, very pure finish. You can enjoy this now, but I recommend cellaring it as long as you can, because this has at least 50 years of ageing potential!” – James Suckling

“This wine’s dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles, camphor, earth, incense, new saddle leather, and loads of peppery, blackberry, and herb-infused, meaty, black cherry fruit. Deep, full-bodied, and dense, with sweet tannin, this explosively rich Chateauneuf is a stronger effort than the 2005, 2004, or 2003.” -Robert Parker, Jr.

The 2015 Edmond de Rothschild “Chateau des Laurets” St. Emilion is something special and even after a barrage of fabulous Bordeaux offers this year, I’m still calling it the Bordeaux of the year. It absolutely dazzles, displaying all the silky, elegant tannins and harmonious nature characteristic of the vintage. Lay some down in a dark cellar for the long haul but don’t be afraid to enjoy some right now.
Winemaker, Joschi Goldschimdt, has produced a killer Chianti in ’19, filled with aromas and flavors of sweet berries, rose petals, cedar, and tobacco, wrapped tightly with a firm structure and fine finish. Amazing tension guarantees this to be a no-brainer at any dinner table, delicious with just about anything.
The Daulny 2018 Clos de Chaudenay is an absolute gem. Fine aromatically, with grapefruit and white peach fruit in the mouth and a crisp, saline finish. We never get to offer the rare Clos de Chaudenay, with most of the allocation going to the top Michelin starred restaurants of the world’s cities. The 2018 is complex aromatically, it’s truly classic Sancerre, with intense fruit, distinct minerality and vibrant acidity. Available at an outrageously good price today, the last few bottles stateside are up for grabs.
