Tasting: Comments Pascal CHATONNET December 2018: L'Archange 2016 has an intense and deep colour. The first nose is characteristic of the expression of the great Merlot on clay soil with a simply perfect summer: blackberry liqueur, liquorice and black pepper rise together. The palate attacks with a powerful but extremely velvety tannin; it develops like a real liqueur, without heaviness but with a lot of freshness. The finish is powerful and very long. Vanilla and black fruit compote linger in the mouth on a particularly persistent spicy finish. A great wine, definitely made for laying down but already extremely fine; ARCHANGE 2016 is simply fantastic.

45% Merlot 37% Cabernet Sauvignon 18% Cabernet Franc Very complex aroma - black ripe cherries, tobacco leaves and cedar wood. The taste is medium long, full with hints of chocolate and dark fruit. The tannin is firm, pleasant. --Libor Finger "Some stewed berries with walnut and light sultana undertones. Chocolate, too. It’s full-bodied with a nice core of fruit and a medium finish. Soft tannins. Try after 2023." (89 pts.) --JamesSuckling.com

Light straw in color. Sweet nose of citrus, peach, lemon, pineapples, bananas, mango, tropical fruits, white flowers, pears, minerals and white pepper. Full bodied and buttery, with medium plus acidity. Semi sweet on the palate with limes pineapples, pears, peaches, wet stones and butter. Long finish with spices and herbs. I liked the nose more than the palate on this nice South African white blend. Enjoyed it by itself (after having my big red wine) 10% alcohol by volume. --Odedi

Winemaker Notes Rock Angel is partially barrel fermented in large oak barrels and made from Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino). This rosé bears a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing it into a more premium realm giving rosé lovers a bigger and richer wine that is fabulous as an aperitif or paired with a broad range of fine cuisine. If you like the minerality of a Sancerre, you will love this wine. Critical Acclaim James Suckling A pale peach-colored rosé with aromas of roses, strawberries, raspberries and nectarines. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a juicy, creamy palate. Deliciously fruity with good concentration and length. Decanter Nuanced flavours and aromas of tangerine, peach, fresh dried petals, citrus, honey and gentle spice. Very rounded, soft and appealing, whilst maintaining freshness and depth. Vey good. Blend: 68% Grenache, 22% Vermentino, 4% Cinsault.

Description The 2017 Mt Pajaro Vineyard Chardonnay is a brilliantly focused, mineral and racy wine almost trying to hide her beautiful, ripe apple, orange peel and orchard blossoms with acid and zest. This is a no-brainer for the Chablis lover and a lovely retort to the traditional “California style.”

Winemaker Notes Sourced from "the gateway to the Sonoma Coast." The SangiacomoLakeville Vineyards were planted by the Sangiacomo family in 1990during the rebirth of the Petaluma Gap region. The environmentcombined with the Sangiacomo family’s passion and appreciation for the land, help to produce some of the most premium Pinot Noirgrapes of the region. Critical Acclaim Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir The Flyer is scented of crushed red cherries and raspberries with touches of wild thyme and black pepper plus a waft of rose hips. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with vibrant, youthful red berry flavors with a velvety texture and plenty of freshness, finishing long and fruity. Wine Enthusiast A top-tier blend from several vineyards, this playful Pinot is full bodied and well built. It's robustly rich, ripe and firm in tannic structure. The oak supports flavors of juicy wild strawberry and raspberry as well as a persistent earthy note, while the finish offers lingering hints of vanilla and cola.

As Chuck Wagner explains, his new Bonanza Cabernet isn’t Caymus, but rather an expression of the sort of other superb California vineyards he never tires of exploring, the sort that are capable of “producing Cabernet Sauvignon that’s less expensive but a wine of its own riches.”"One thing is important to me – Bonanza calls back to a previous era when a glass of good wine with dinner was a simple pleasure. Bonanza aims to be a smart and gratifying choice, speaking to the enjoyment of everyday life. You may agree that our biggest fortune is good company, great food and delicious wine."

Winemaker Notes The nose of the 2014 Te Wahi Pinot Noir leads with red and black cherries, black plum and rich Christmas cake spices. As the wine unfolds, smoky flint and floral flavors appear. Complex, earthy and structure, this wine is the definition of a new Pinot Noir place. The wine is youthful on the palate with sweet fruit framed by bright acidity. The texture is supple with a velvety, yet firm tannin structure. The finish is long, focused and complex. Great pairings for Te Wahi include wild game and duck, venison and wagyu beef. Critical Acclaim Wilfred Wong of Wine.com An impressive effort, the deeply colored 2014 Cloudy Bay Te Wahi Pinot Noir shows power with excellent restraint. While the wine shows loads of black fruits and chewy earth, it stays just this side of going over the top. Youthful now, the wine is just beginning to show itself.
