Bartolo Mascarello Barolo DOCG, Piedmont 2011 750ML ($149.95) $119 special
Wine Advocate 94 points “The 2011 Barolo is a very expressive wine with more determination and muscle than you usually get in the wines of Bartolo Mascarello. The bouquet opens to plush flavors of red fruit and cherry with grilled herb, tobacco and mineral delineation. Its structure is yielding and round and the finish is ripe with soft fruit flavors. Make no mistake, it doles out complexity and an ethereal sense of balsam herb, cola and licorice that is the hallmark of this historic estate with a tiny garage winery in the town of Barolo.

OREGONMorgen Long Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2014 750ML ($59.95) $49 special
Winemaker’s note “With a bright platinum hue & slightly hazy clarity, an array of cool, fresh & dense Chardonnay aromatics open this wine, offering subtle lemon crème, lime oil, citrus blossom, salted almond, ginger & flinty, wet rocks. As the wine warms, its scent shifts to peach, fennel, crushed lemongrass & honeycomb. Vibrant acidity and sappy fruit are well-integrated with oak, dry extract & weight, the flavors of honeycomb, lime, peach pit, brine, almond meal & white flowers finish long with the warmth of ginger & lemon.

Ian D’Agata–Vinous 95 points “Fully saturated ruby. Pure, very deep aromas of black cherry, red plum, medicinal herbs and minerals. Rich, dense and suave, with complex flavors of saline red berries and dark plum complicated by repeating botanical herb and balsamic nuances.
