The creme de la creme from Flowers and a very special bottling. This one was actually the last vintage of ‘Moon Select’ the winery ever made.
This is a long-term bottling project at Flowers originally named after Moon Nurseries in Pennsylvania (which is owned by the Flowers family). It is a big, savory, age-worthy beauty that was made with 40% whole cluster and the result of the five best barrels from the vintage.
True Pinot Noir enthusiasts and collectors will remember, this was the Flowers’ calling card for so many years. Only made in the best vintages, I always loved these wines and wish they still made them!

Across the board, Sergio’s wines enjoy an incredible vibrancy. They are big wines with such a streak of elegance, a quality rare in any part of the wine world. One wine which is perfect for the current weather, is his 2020 Barbera d’Alba — a juicy, food-friendly number, that was fermented and aged in a steel tank so it is completely about the fruit. Without any oak, this one comes out zipped up, with clean, concentrated fruit – a medley of blackberry and black cherry fruit with floral notes and even some black licorice on the finish.

With Herve and Fabre Montmayou wracking up NYT features, huge scores, gold medals and lifetime achievement awards, I’m left with one choice: get in now or be left in the cold. Waiting for the scores to roll in is a luxury that we know longer have with Fabre Montmayou. Good for the winery, but not so good for us. Rest assured though, the 2020 Cabernet Franc Herve sent me is fantastic, and will surely be minted with the same kind of high-flying praise as the vintage before it. But by that time, you’ll only have a bottle or two left in the cellar.
Valéry represents the third generation of his family’s wine growing. His grandad must have been some kind of visionary as he was the first to plant Pinot Noir in the limestone laden vineyards of Reuilly. That limestone is key as it isn’t just sunny days that makes Pinot great. Limestone, like we find all over Burgundy, lends freshness and tension to Pinot that make it great with food and better with air, giving that all that generous fruit a real sense of crunch. The 2020 P’tit Renaudat Pinot soars from the glass, with a mixture of black cherry and blueberry fruit on the nose, gradually unfurling to reveal some aromas of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a long, fresh finish that will keep you coming back for more.

The 2015 Oakville Reserve from Groth is an absolute lights out bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet. It’s big but well structured with perfectly integrated tannins. As always with Groth wines, they have the signature Oakville bones and structure to enjoyed for half a century, but if you enjoy drinking Napa Cabs early, then this one is ready for you. Magnums or “party size” bottles of something this rare are hard to get your hands on, even harder to secure for the best price in the country. This is another one of those bottles thats a part of wine history. Napa Collectors won’t want to miss this.
