- Pepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola El Veneno 2020WA95+Special Price $39.98 Regular Price $59.98Availability:In Stock
95+ Points! The depth of the nose of the 2020 El Veneno already talks about a much better vintage with very complete and full wines that are floral, expressive and ripe but delicate, what they always look for: delicate wines with power, the proverbial iron fist in the velvet glove. It's varietal, Mediterranean, fresh, expressive, rich and complex, with abundant, chalky tannins that coat your mouth and give it a dry sensation, earthy and mineral. It has more of everything. The finest vintage of El Veneno to date. - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com

- Zind Humbrecht Gewürztraminer Alsace Grand Cru Hengst 2019DEC95JS97$79.98Availability:In Stock
97 Points! There’s nothing obvious about this intensely spicy gewurz. In fact, studying the aromas is like solving an intricate puzzle. Very powerful and creamy with succulent tropical-fruit character, the bold minerality balancing the touch of sweetness. The palate is no less intriguing, thanks to the cool depths that are ever more revealed on the very refined finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. – JamesSuckling.com

97 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
Learn More - Los Frailes Monastrell Viñas Viejas Dolomitas 2020WA92$24.98Availability:Out of Stock
92 Points! The 2020 Dolomitas was produced with old-vine Monastrell from dry-farmed vines on very shallow soils. The wine comes through as more concentrated, powerful and tannic, finishing with a dry sensation. This needs time and/or powerful food. This fermented with 25% full clusters, and they also used some used 700-liter oak barrels for the aging, complementing the concrete vats and clay tinajas. There is a spicy twist from the oak. - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com

95 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

92 Points! Opaque ruby. Spice-accented dark berries, mocha, cola and pungent flowers on the highly perfumed nose. Appealingly sweet black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors become livelier and pick up a hint of vanilla with air. The blue fruit and floral notes recur on an impressively long, penetrating finish that features subtly gripping tannins and a hint of exotic spices. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 2 LEFT! - Casa Castillo Jumilla Las Gravas 2020WA98Special Price $58.98 Regular Price $80.00Availability:In Stock
98 Points! The phenomenal 2020 Las Gravas was produced with 92% Monastrell from 30- to 40-year-old vines on north-facing gravel soils (hence its name) complemented with 8% Garnacha. It fermented with 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in underground stone lagares and matured in a combination of 500-liter barrel and 5,000-liter foudres for 16 months. It has classical parameters, 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.47 and 4.87 grams of acidity per liter. The wine is super perfumed and floral, really showy, elegant, nuanced and refined, with the notes of pine needles and wet soil much subtler than in the 2019. There is an ethereal character to the 2020s that I haven't found in any previous vintage here, but at the same time, the wines are very mineral and have lots of energy and light. There is precision, cleanliness, definition and elegance like I hadn't seen before and refined tannins with a pungent mineral sensation in the textured finish. This is an incredible wine for the price asked. - Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com
