Jaffurs Petite Sirah Thompson Vineyard 2021JD93VM94$34.98Availability:In Stock93 Points! The 2021 Petite Sirah Thompson Vineyard is a perennial winner. Coming all from the Thompson Vineyard in the Alisos Canyon region of Santa Barbara County and brought up in 18% new American oak, its deep purple hue is followed by a beautiful array of red, black, and blue fruits interwoven with cedarwood, flowery incense, and peppery herbs. It's rich and full-bodied, with beautiful fruit and fine tannins. This is one incredibly classy Petite Sirah that has plenty of up-front appeal yet, I suspect, the balance and structure to evolve for well over a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck

Famille Hugel Gewurztraminer Alsace Grand Cru Sporen Grossi Laüe 2015JS97WA95Special Price $49.98 Regular Price $79.98Availability:In Stock97 Points! Stunning nose of ripe tropical fruit that ranges from mangosteen to mango and lychee. Full-bodied and rich, but also so silky and creamy, the acidity hardly perceptible directly, but beneath the waterline, it holds all this extravagance on the straight and narrow. Some sweetness, but the subtle earthiness of a great site is very clear. Super-long finish with so much turkish delight, but not the tiniest hint of bitterness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

Trimbach Gewurztraminer Alsace Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre 2013WS92JS95WA94$64.98Availability:In Stock95 Points! Fabulous aromas of honeysuckle, lavender, stone and menthol. Full-bodied, lightly off dry, spicy and powerful. Very long and rich. What potential. Fabulous gewurz. - JamesSuckling.com
94 Points! The 2013 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre comes from predominately Keuper marl-limestone soils in Hunawihr (Muhlforst area) and Ribeauvillé (Trottacker) which give this age worthy wine a full and powerful style. Nobly clear and elegant on the deep and concentrated but super subtle nose where ripe bright fruit aromas with a dash of lemon juice are displayed. Round, piquant and very elegant on the palate, this is an intense, complex, lovely mineral and extremely well defined wine with a stimulating vibrancy and a nice tannin grip which, in combination with the minerality, gives not just tension and power but also a very long and salty Gewurztraminer with mandarin flavors and flowers in the very persistent aftertaste...Produced from old vines from the former wine estate of the Lords of Ribeaupierre, the grapes are selected and harvested at the peak of their ripeness. It is a wine with flowery and spicy aromas and a dry personality, and yet so rich and so fruity that it almost hints at sweetness … a mere illusion...In youth, the roundness and viscosity can mask its typical dryness as well as the underlying finesse which is the Trimbach trademark. - Stephan Reinhardt, roobertparker.com

Aaron Petite Sirah Paso Robles 2019Availability:Out of Stock94 Points! Inky violet. Powerful, smoke-accented black and blue fruits, licorice, pungent flowers and hints of espresso, vanilla and baking spices on the intensely perfumed nose. Deeply concentrated yet energetic cassis, cherry-vanilla and smoked meat flavors pick up a spicy flourish as the wine opens up. Clings impressively on a finely detailed, penetrating finish shaped by velvety, well-judged tannins. For me, this is one of the benchmark examples of this often dismissed variety – perhaps it's the benchmark. Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 55% of them new. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

Once & Future Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard Napa Valley 2019Availability:In Stock93 Points! The 2019 Petite Sirah Palisades Vineyard is laced with the essence of crème de cassis, blueberry, spice, leather and licorice. The tannins are especially suave for this Calistoga site, where the wines have often been bigger. A cool end to the season and long macerations probably explain most of the wine's personality. The 2019 spent about two weeks on the skins following the alcoholic fermentation and was aged partly in larger format 600L barrels, again, with the goal of reducing the impact of tannins from oak. , Vinous Media
