95 points James Suckling A very pretty Cabernet with very fine tannins that are polished and fresh. Beautiful currant, chocolate and walnut character. Medium to full body and a long, caressing finish. Builds beautifully at the end. So delicious now, but will develop nicely in bottle. Real 2018 character. Top vintage.

Beautiful gold colored champagne with plenty of quite fine bubbles. Scent has apple, green apple, citrus and brioche. Taste is balanced, delightful and long. You have green apple with a little baked touch to it. Also citrus, almond and almond. You can enjoy this alone and due to great structure with almost any food you like.  --Ari Weckström

J. Charpentier's Champagne Brut Réserve is made from grapes from different crus of the region (Reuil, Binson-Orquigny, Châtillon sur Marne, Villers sous Châtillon, Le Breuil, Neuville sur Seine, Ludes) and contains 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. The history of the maison begins at the turn of the 20th century. Since then the generations have succeeded and the winery is still family-run today. The fermentation of the grapes takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature and is followed by the malolactic fermentation and the assembly of the reserve wines. Champagne rests on the lees for 30-36 months. In the glass the wine is brilliant, straw yellow in color, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are aromas of fresh yellow fruit, brioche and bread crust. In the mouth the wine is creamy, full-bodied and enveloping, with a good persistence.

Winemaker Notes Lanson Rose has a beautiful pure color with pale salmon touches. Aromas of roses and fruit predominate, with discrete notes of red berries. The initial impression is tender, well-rounded and fresh. This wine has harmonious balance and good length on the finish. Delicious served with fresh red berry desserts or simply on its own. Critical Acclaim James Suckling A bright, fruity rosé with peaches and light strawberries. Tangerines, too. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture. This is a blended wine with only 7% red wines. Pretty red fruit with the same freshness as the normal black label. Very fresh and vivid. Four years on the lees. Drink now. Wine Enthusiast A ripe style of rosé Champagne, this has red fruits in profusion balanced by a crisp, tight acidity. The wine’s texture supports the touch of toast and the mature acidity.

Winemaker Notes Black Label's brilliant color recalls the characteristic straw tones of the Pinot Noir, with glints of amber. It is lively in the flute, with a fine stream of persistent bubbles. Its fresh aromas combine the impression of vitality and spring-time scents, together with hints of toast and honey. On the palate, bouquets of ripe fruits and citrus create a sensation of opulence yet lightness. Critical Acclaim Wine Enthusiast Lanson’s famed nonvintage cuvée is back on form, giving a ripe style dominated by Pinot Noir. It has weight and already a fine balance between the fruits and touches of toast from four years on the lees. This bottling of this Champagne is very ready to drink. Decanter 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier from 100 villages in all, and including 30% reserves from 10 vintages back to 1995; a small proportion now being produced with malolactic. Black Label remains the confident barometer of Lanson, and Hervé Dantan’s first blend is a class act, a resounding statement of his talent in preserving the style and integrity of the house while meticulously polishing the edges. It’s a very important cuvée in the grand scheme of Champagne: one of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.

Winemaker Notes Sinegal’s 2018 Cabernet is a wonderful expression of a superb Napa Valley vintage, exhibiting elegance, power, and purity. The nose has enticing aromas of baked blueberry crumble, ripe blackberries, with notes of sweet leather and baking spice. The wine is inky dark and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and hints of dried thyme. The wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate with supple tannins, rich blue fruits, and has lift and length from the bright acidity. Upon opening the wine delivers impressive aromas, flavors, and texture, but is worthy of ageing for over a decade. Critical Acclaim The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon turned out beautifully. Rich, sumptuous and incredibly alluring, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate. Dark red fruit, mocha, spice and licorice are some of the notes that build in the glass. I would give it a few years in bottle, or alternatively open it in advance. Aeration and the passage of time did wonders for the 2018. It spent 20 months in barrel, 85% new.  COMMENTARY: The 2018 Sinegal Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious and classic Cab with excellent persistence on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine deftly combines aromas and flavors of bold, black fruit, anise, and earth. Enjoy the wine's al dente finish with a mildly-seasoned, oven-roasted Porchetta. (Tasted: January 11, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

I have always enjoyed Paul Hobbs Cabs and once again tonight was no different. Bold, full bodied, dry, smooth with medium acidity. 14.6% ABV A wonderful intense nose with dark fruit, spice, vanilla and tobacco. On the palate there is oak, vanilla, tobacco, blackberry, plum, cassis, leather and slight earthy notes. A very nice lush and velvety mouthfeel. The finish is pleasant, long and lingering. This is simply a delightful cab that pairs with a variety of meats and poultry. 👍 --MK
