Washington

Figgins Estate Red 2019, Walla Walla Valley $99 special, 36 bottles in stock
Jeb Dunnuck 97 points “… a gorgeous bouquet of cassis and blueberries fruit as well as spicy oak, tobacco, and scorched earth-like minerality. Full-bodied on the palate, it’s supple and forward at first yet builds on the palate, with more density and tannins showing on the finish … It’s one of the top releases in the vintage.

Bow & Arrow Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2021 750ml $21.90 special, 36+ bottles in stock
Winemaker’s Note: “While this ethos of “wine for the people” infuses the entire posture at Bow & Arrow, it’s this wine, the Willamette Valley Pinot in particular, that serves as our proof of concept. … Read the rest

Giacomo Conterno, Barbera D’alba Cerretta 2020 750ml $64.50 special, 10 bottles in stock
Vinous 93 points “The 2020 Barbera d’Alba Vigna Cerretta is silky, soft and effusive, with gorgeous red-toned fruit, lifted aromatics and fine balance. Understated and classy to the core, 2020 exudes freshness and energy from start to finish. Sweet red cherry fruit, rose petal, mint and orange peel are finely woven together, framed by silky, ripe tannins that caress through to the finish.”

Giacomo Conterno, Barbera D’alba Vignia Francia 2020 750ml $69.00 special, 8 bottles in stock
Vinous 95 points Antonio Galloni “The 2020 Barbera d’Alba Vigna Francia is fabulous.

Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Grands Liards Vieilles Vignes, Cote de Beaune 2020 750ml $49 special, 6 bottles in stock
John Gilman 92 points “The lieu à dit of Grands Liards must be one of the warmer microclimates in Savigny, as this is the highest octane wine in the Camus-Bruchon cellars this year at 13.6 percent, and the same thing was true of Chisa Bize’s version as well in her lineup of 2020s. This wine was raised in the same cask regimen as the Pimentiers in 2020 and has also turned out beautifully, delivering a bouquet of cherries, plums, pomegranate, woodsmoke, pigeon, lovely soil tones, a touch of vanillin oak and a spicy topnote.

Domaine Garon

Domaine Garon Cote Rotie Lancement, Rhone 2020 750ml $189 special, 6 bottles in stock
Jeb Dunnuck 95-97 points “The 2020 Côte Rôtie Lancement has more black fruits as well as some classic Côte Rôtie floral and mineral notes. This vineyard normally yields a more ethereal, feminine wine, but this is a powerful, dense, stacked barrel sample with plenty of fine grained tannins and a great finish.”

Domaine Garon Cote Rotie Le Combard, Rhone 2020 750ml $99 special, 12 bottles in stock
Jeb Dunnuck 94-96 points “The 2020 Côte Rôtie Le Combard is also terrific, revealing a powerful yet also pure and precise character.
