Sommelier Selected 2021 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône
750ml $33 bottle/$13 glass
Red Rhône blend from Rhône, France
Winemaker Notes :
90 points Decanter
“Modern, lifted and a bit heady, but attractive and evocative. Black cherry inkiness segues into a dense palate where all the fruit is crammed into a structured body with drying tannins. Herbs and stones hemmed in by a firm grip. A good all rounder.” (Panel Tasting)
2021 Talbott Pinot Noir “Kali Hart” 750ml $30 bottle/$12 glass
Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, California
Winemaker Notes :
93 POINTS Wine Enthusiast
“This is one of the most reliably delicious while affordable Pinot Noirs in California. Bright but concentrated aromas of strawberry cream, singed sage and crushed rock kick off the nose. The palate is satisfyingly rich with baked cherry and pecan pie flavors, yet tense in texture and zippy in acidity.”
92 POINTS James Suckling
“A soft and juicy pinot noir with dried strawberry, orange peel and dried mushroom character with some dust. Medium body. Round tannins and a juicy finish.

Wine # 12 is a 2021 Lapostolle Merlot
“Grand Selection Casa” 750ml
$30 bottle/$12 glass
Merlot blend from Valle Central, Chile
Winemaker Notes: Attractive bright purple red with deep violet notes. Expressive red fruit and black spices over a subtle oak notes. Medium body with a good fruit expression. Good balance among components. Blend: 85% Merlot, 14% Syrah, 1% Cabernet Franc
Professional Ratings 92 POINTS
James Suckling “Impressive balance between ripeness and freshness. Fresh red plums and cherries with some fine spices. Juicy and bright on the palate with fine, silky tannins. Balance is the word. Excellent drinkability.”
#11 Sommelier selected Wine is a 2021 Zuccardi ‘Q’ Malbec 750ml
$36 bottle/$14 glass
Malbec from Uco Valley, Argentina
93 points
Descorchados Zuccardi Q has a long history that begins with its first vintage in 1998, and it has been a road with many changes in style. We believe this latest version must be the best, the closest to the idea we have of a mountain malbec. It comes from vineyards in Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes, both more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and it offers not only tart black fruits, but also herbal notes in a body of tense, firm, and sharp tannins. One of those malbecs that make your mouth water and bring images of a barbecue to mind.” (12/2023)
93 points James Suckling
“A spicy malbec with a touch of fine herbs, oyster sauce and dark minerals to the fresh blueberries. A very fresh and nicely chewy expression of malbec with a medium to full body on the palate. Tannins are tight, fresh and grained. Mostly from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes.” (3/2023)
92 points Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Q Malbec comes from Altamira and Chacayes and was made with a significant part of full clusters (especially Altamira) and aged mostly in concrete to keep that sense of purity. It has notes of some blue fruit, aromatic herbs and a citrus twist, reminiscent of green tea. It is floral, expressive, perfumed and fine-boned, with a medium-bodied palate where the tannins are fine and there’s some grip.” (LG)
