As you can imagine, we’ve been in pretty good standing with the Wagners, the incredible family responsible for the Caymus wines. The past year, we were able to offer the flagship Special Selection Cab, the Caymus Cabernet, Schooner Voyage, Quilt Cabernet, even their criminally underrated Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc.
But even so, there is one wine that you haven’t seen in an email offer for quite some time. That’s because I usually get just 30 cases and they blast through the restaurant wine list over a few weeks each June and then it’s gone.
But on the heels of last years success– we finally got some more Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands– we just have to take it in January! This wine is killer though, it’s worth drinking now. Bright and extremely inviting on the nose with fresh citrus and lemon notes. The wine is expressive, dancing out of the glass with aromas of lemon pie. It’s classic Caymus, rich and hedonistic with a wonderful creaminess. Mer Soleil’s fresh and juicy fruit, balanced perfectly by the new vintage’s vibrant acidity.

This is seriously good, proper Chablis grown on precious Kimmeridgian soil facing Les Blanchots, west of Montée de Tonnerre. Given what’s in the bottle, it’s offered at a shockingly good price. It’s textbook Chablis and unveils itself very slowly in the glass. One of those rare wines that’s different with almost every passing sip – especially as it warms a bit. Consequently, there’s a myriad of flavors that dart to and fro: pineapple, grapefruit, fresh mint, wildflower, wet stone, apple…all delightful and with that famous Chablis cut.
92 Points, Decanter
The newly released 2020 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin is a knockout and easily one of the best wines I’ve had from this property. It’s not just me saying it either. The always stingy Decanter Magazine absolutely loved the wine calling it the “Best Saint Martin I’ve had” on their way to giving it a big time 92-point score. They also described it perfectly: “Classy, understated style of Chablis with a great balance between ripeness of fruit and powerful acidity.”
For generations, the Almondo family have tended vines of Arneis, the noble white variety of Piedmont. Their Bricco delle Ciliegie always seems to be a cut above the rest. It dazzles right out of the bottle, with tons of pent up energy and lift, generous aromas of white flowers, almonds and a touch of sage. The mid-palate has layers of concentrated peach and citrus fruit with a mineral streak and a long, clean finish that leaves you wanting another sip.
This is a spectacular new release – a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay from one of California’s hottest spots. As bright and refreshing as you could want, it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality creeping in on the finish. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
