“…Utterly magnificent. The 2016 dazzles from start to finish. I loved it.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Though the media darling Peay Winery (they were twice named Winery of the Year) is probably best known for their Burgundian varietals (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay), it’s their late-ripening, deeply concentrated Syrah that’s made the biggest splash the past few vintages. No bigger wave was created than their 2016 aptly named, ‘Les Titans’ Syrah though, that left Antonio Galloni absolutely gushing. When we were offered a crack at the Syrah Galloni called, “utterly magnificent”- we didn’t blink.
This wine is an absolute beauty. If you’ve never had an American Syrah, we can think of no better introduction. Northern Rhône may be the king of Syrah, but this wine takes a backseat to no one. 97 points of glory from this family owned, family operated and 100% estate fruit that “dazzles from start to finish”.

“Peay’s 2016 Syrah Estate Les Titans is utterly magnificent. Black cherry, plum, crème de cassis, graphite, black pepper and licorice marry perfectly with the wine’s vertical feel and sense of structure. A super-classic, cool-climate wine, the 2016 Titans dazzles from start to finish. I loved it.” 97pts, Antonio Galloni- Vinous
If you’ve never had an American Syrah, I can think of no better introduction.
Grilled meats and vegetables, hard cheese like Gouda or a killer, juicy burger.
The second year of this elegant, silky smooth Willamette Valley Pinot Noir crafted by Bertrand de Villane of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame. Again it comes from the gorgeous Winter’s Hill Estate about 700 feet above sea level in the Dundee Hills. All indications are that the 2019 is going to be one of the best for Pinot Noir since 1991. A flawless summer that benefited from very little rain mixed with cool, breezy summer nights. With a round, supple mouthfeel and a sturdy backbone this will age gracefully for a decade plus. Bertrand’s wines just have a signature stamp that is unmistakably his. This is phenomenal.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild is one of only four First Growth Bordeaux and one of the rarest bottles in the world to get your hands on. In the 2002 vintage, Chateau Lafite Rothschild is one of only a handful of bottles you absolutely need in your cellar. Bordeaux’s most famous critic, American journalist Robert Parker, Jr. called the wine, “A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite.” This one is an all-timer, and a Bordeaux collector’s dream.
For the first time, we have the 2021 Abbona Dolcetto Langhe in house. This is a fantastic and fun bottle to enjoy on it’s own, but it is also a showstopper with pizza. Made for those who love their wines with inky dark fruit, this boasts a jet black color with aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baked cake spice. The Langhe Dolcetto is the product of extremely low-yielding but highly concentrated juice that comes from the younger vines of her Estate. Incredibly fun to drink and to smell — it’s also what some would argue is the best compliment to a good pizza pie with some meat on it!

From the creative mind and winemaking prowess of Screaming Eagle’s own Andy Erickson, comes a passion project unlike any other. The goal at Leviathan is to make only one wine a year– the biggest red in the U.S. Sourced from some of the best vineyards up and down the coast (you can thank Andy and Screaming Eagle for that), this Bordeaux blend features ample Cabernet rounded out with Petit Verdot and Merlot. It’s a big, intense wine that will only get better with age, though its great right now and amazingly under $40/btl for an Andy Erickson wine. That should be more than enough any day!
