Pierre Girardin - 'Eclat De Calcaire' Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019

13th Generation "Rising Star" of Burgundy 

Burgundian Pinot Noir of this quality is easily mistaken for Premier Cru Village wine (Because it is!). You can tell Pierre-Vincent has Burgundy in his blood - His Pinot Noirs are incredibly well-structured, striking wines which pay homage to their roots with rich minerality and textured red fruit, followed by layers of fresh violets, strawberry, rhubarb, and a silky finish with plenty of lingering spice from precise barrel aging. These prestigious family vineyards combined with generations of Girardin winemaking equate to a modern-style wine with an eye towards Burgundian elegance, purity, precision, and cut, highlighting by the extraordinarily rare terroir Pierre is ever so graced. Simply put - Pierre is taking Burgundy to the next level. These are not to be missed.

Lewelling - Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena, Napa Valley 2018

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points - A killer wine as well as a smoking value, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon comes all from the estate vineyard outside of St. Helena and spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. Loads of crème de cassis, blueberries, toasted spices, and flowery incense make up the bouquet, and it hits the palate with a ripe, round, sweetly fruited, perfectly balanced style that’s already impossible to resist.

Domaine Equis [Maxime Graillot], Syrah "Equinoxe"

Crozes-Hermitage, Rhone Valley, 2018

Vinous Media - 91-93 Points

"Mineral-accented dark fruit and floral aromas are energized by a jolt of spicy black pepper. Fleshy, juicy and nicely concentrated, offering finely etched boysenberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that tighten up on the back half. Densely packed yet energetic as well, finishing with sharp clarity, smooth tannins and strong persistence. Made from fruit grown on the granitic soils of Saint-Jean-du-Muzols."
