Cristom

New to the July Sale!

Cristom is a reference point wine in the Willamette Valley—as close as we have here to a first growth or a producer such as DRC or Dujac (both of whom serve as stylistic references for Cristom).  Since 1992, Cristom has been a top producer, making wines that are both powerful and elegant, and which age beautifully.

A Perfect Dominus

“If I could give more than 100 for this one, I would.” –Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
Dominus has been on a roll.  Both the 2015 and now the 2016 vintages of this landmark wine are some of the best wines in Napa ever, at prices that should make wineries like Harlan and Screaming Eagle blush.  The 2016 just might be the best yet. It’s stunning—an easy 100 pointer that will outlive its slightly older brother.

Featured New Arrival

The Sancerre (Red + White) of Gerard Boulay

“Given the crystalline purity of his Sauvignon Blancs, he has become one of my favorite producers of the central Loire. If you want to know what true Sancerre tastes like, try one of his single-vineyard bottlings. It does not come any better!” – Joel Payne, Vinous

Gerard Boulay makes some of the best white wines in France from his vineyards in Chavignol.

Henri Boillot’s Classic White Burgundy

Henri Boillot is an undisputed top producer of white Burgundy, vinifying wine after wine that turns heads and captures hearts.  Rich, bold, textured and complex, with minerality to spare, these wines are the quintessence of whites Burgundy for many.  We’ve got our allocation of the 2017’s arriving in the next month and are excited to offer them to you today.

2017 represents a return to form for the white side of the Cote d’Or.  2016 was excellent when it was good, but frost and hail damaged many vineyards, reducing yields and creating riper than expected wines in some instances.
