93 points James Suckling “A complex and maturing Gewurztraminer with a lot of subtle candied fruit and a hint of spices. This almost-dry wine has fascinating textural complexity and clean mineral acidity, allowing the wine to carry a tiny hint of bitterness at the long dry finish.” (5/2018)
93 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Selected and harvested at the peak of the grapes’s ripeness the 2012 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs Ribeaupierre is very clear and intensely aromatic on the fresh and nobly perfumed nose where lime and orange oil flavors are displayed. Full, rich and intensely fruity but also piquant and very mineral this fresh and vital Gewurz is very long and stimulating due to its lovely acidity. This is a remarkably delicate Cuvée with a great aging potential and orange flavors in the finish.
93 points Vinous “Apple, poached pear, lemongrass, spices and vanilla bean on the enticing nose. Rich and ripe in the mouth, but with lively acidity giving shape and lift to the deep flavors of spicy stone fruit. The long finish throws off notes of peppery spices and vanilla. This is much less forward and open than the entry-level Gewürztraminer, which according to Jean Trimbach is a direct result of the much older vines and better vineyard sites that go into this bottling. I think this is the most underrated wine made by Trimbach: it’s stellar in both 2012 and 2013. (4/2015)”
93 points Wine & Spirits “This wine comes from a sector of the Osterberg grand cru, where the vines average 40 years of age, planted on limestone over sandstone. It’s an ornate, traditional style of Alsace wine, with scents of ginger and toast, orange and lavender. Its gentle texture is dynamic, managing to feel relaxed while a current of tension drives the flavors underneath. Those flavors range from fresh thyme to dried cherry skins, ready to elevate boudin blanc or roast veal, and would be fascinating with traditional Alsace fare, like a savory onion tart.” (4/2018)

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 newly released 2019 Arista Russian River Valley Chard is a gem, one that earned 95 pts from Parker’s Wine Advocate who called it, “wonderfully inviting to drink and impressive quality.”

“The 2019 Barolo opens to a lean appearance with a very vibrant Nebbiolo color that shines with dark ruby highlights. There is dried cherry and candied fruit aromas on the bouquet. Those fruit layers cede to light spice, lilac and campfire ash. The beauty in this wine is the extreme balance achieved in this classic vintage. It delivers on all levels: intensity, length and joy. The fruit represents a blend of four MGS sites: Bricco Chiesa and Capalot in La Morra, Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto and Monvigliero in Verduno.”

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 2019, a benchmark in silky smooth, layered and concentrated Pinot Noir that has both grip and grace.
