Domaine Du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape Telegramme 2016
Very complex and composed. Bright aromas of wild, red-berries and herbs. Some blueberry pastry, too. Plush, ripe and concentrated palate with long, smooth, ripe and powerful tannins. Great depth and detail. Fresh, red-berry and plum flavours run riot on the finish. Drink or hold.
$43/bottle
SAN FELICE Chianti Classico 2016
Expressive and smooth, this hits all the right notes, with pure black cherry, black currant and violet flavors. Touches of earth, iron and tobacco add complexity. Shows best from 2020 through 2036. 25,000 cases made. -B.S.
$21/bottle
Ripe-currant and walnut aromas with a hint of rose bush.
Enjoy this beautiful, intense but refined wine from the best Tuscan vintage in 10 years.
This drinks like a Bordeaux at a much higher price level.

New Vintage – Market Favorite
2015 Alban Vineyards Patrina Syrah
$49.00/Bottle
Moving to the 2015 reds, the 2015 Patrina shows beautifully from barrel and even better from bottle, which is always a good sign. There’s not much of it, but it’s a magnificent Syrah loaded with notions of cassis, blackberries olive tapenade, and ground pepper. Possessing awesome purity of fuit, medium to full body, and a great finish, it should be snatched up by savvy readers.

A Top-Notch Chateauneuf at a reasonable price!
At $50/bottle, Domaine La Barroche is one of the new superstars in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. This is due entirely to recent changes in their wine-making and vineyard management techniques. But the truth is, Domaine La Barroche has a long history in the Southern Rhone Valley as they are one of the older properties in the Chateauneuf du Pape!
The Casablanca Valley in Chile is a place that is still shrouded in mystery to the American wine drinker. For a country that is known for its dark/brooding reds (Cabernet and Syrah), some of the best values can be found in the coastal areas that are more known for their aromatic Whites and Pinot Noir.
At 33 degrees South, the Casablanca Valley is the much closer to the equator that every other major Pinot Noir growing region in the world. The Valley is oriented East-West and sucks in cool air from the ocean and the arctic ocean currents. This makes the perfect conditions for growing Pinot Noir.
