PRIMA Notes: Aged in French oak barrels, as opposed to the American oak that remains the stylistic signature of both Silver Oak Cabs, it was to be an elegant, rather Bordeaux-leaning wine that also would preserve the essential character- the Napa...
98 points James Suckling Aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries with hints of crushed walnuts, grilled thyme, cocoa powder and graphite. It’s full-bodied with layers of ultra-fine, silky tannins that elegantly coat your palate,...

Importer's Notes: This red is the exception to the rule at Quintarelli. It is aged for only two to three years—as opposed to seven—and only the Cabernet is partially dried. The Corvina and Corvinone are pressed directly after harvest. The...
Apples, they say, don’t fall far from their trees, and five minutes with Carlo Mondavi will confirm that the same applies to grapes. Carlo is very much like his dad Tim, and there’s an awful lot of his famous grandfather in there too!...
I remember, back sometime in the mid-1990s, driving from Piemonte to Tucsany with Marco de Grazia, then the instigator, impresario and importer of the ‘Barolo Boys’ wines from Piemonte. Even with the taste of the last Barolo we had...
2021 Domaine La Folie Rully Blanc 'Clos La Folie' Rully, near the regional city of Chalon-sur-Soane and just three miles south of Chassagne-Montrachet as the Burgundian crow flies, has long been the source of some of the most over-achieving white...

We love these bone-dry Austrian Rieslings. Hiedler’s is penetrating, persistent and utterly delicious. Its laser-like acidity will do wonders alongside a right-from-the-fryer schnitzel but we love it with oysters, fresh, delicate fish...
Winery Notes: With the first in vintage 1974, it is a tradition for Friuli to make Pinot Grigio. And we have a good mixture between river valley vineyards and the hillside. The river valley grapes add freshness, and are a little more thin on the...
Pale sunshine yellow color and slight frizzante, this Moscato d'Asti has intense aromas of peaches, rose petals and ginger. On the palate, it is delicately sweet and sparkling with balanced acidity, good complexity and a finish of fresh apricots...

The base wine is a 10-year old Barolo Riserva, which gives the Chinato an unsually soft-textured, generous personality. All of the typical notes of sweet herbs, cinnamon, cardamom, flowers, anise and baking spices are layered into a sweet, expansive...
Importer's Notes: The Vilmart NV Grande Reserve represents a blend of relatively young vines of Chardonnay with around 70% Pinot Noir. Displays a surprising degree of lees autolysis in the nose, joined by smoky and chalky nuances that come out more...
