2018 Chardonnay Willamette Valley
Michael Hastings, Winston-Salem Journal, NC

Smoke, wood and evergreen aromas. Apple, pear and minerals on the palate. Lingering finish. An unusual chard. Very good.

La Crema
2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
Ivo Dawnay, The Lady

The notes in Cambria Katherine's Vineyard 2017 and La Crema Sonoma Coast 2018 are of citrus blossom with a touch of peach. Apparently the effect of the climate is to lengthen the growing period, which gives depth to the flavours. Deliciously different.

2016 Merlot Alexander Valley
Editor, Good Food Revolution

Full-bodied but balanced, fruit for this bottling is sourced from six specialized sites in the Alexander Valley – well-suited for grapes in the Bordeaux family. Cherries, chocolate, tobacco, graphite, leather and herbs suggest a ripe, savoury expression that rides the line between New and Old World.

La Crema
2020 Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma County
Lyle W. Norton, San Francisco Examiner, CA

The tasting began with the first sauvignon blanc vintage from a known producer of Sonoma County pinot noir and chardonnay. After winemaker McAllister, with roots in New Zealand, joined La Crema, it was only a matter of time. Sourced from the warmer north County vineyards, the 2020 La Crema Sauvignon Blanc Knights Valley is partially barrel-fermented in neutral oak for 28 days, which gives the wine, according to Craig, more texture with minimal oak notes. A vibrant bouquet of tropical and stone fruits with floral hints carried through the flavors and a long finish. Craig pairs this wine with oysters, ceviche and fried fish.

2017 Chianti Classico Riserva
Rupal Shankar, The Syrah Queen

On the nose, there are warm spicy notes with bright red fruit. The structure is wonderful and the wine is well balanced, fresh and lively. Notes of spice and cedar coat the palate. Produced from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon this Chianti Classico Riserva has bright acidity and a distinct minerality that makes you salivate and invites you to keep on drinking. You will enjoy pouring this wine again and again.

Château Lassègue
2017 Les Cadrans
Amanda Schuster, Forbes

Splendid Red, White, Rosé and Bubbly Wines To Serve During BBQ SeasonFrom the foothills of this appellation comes this versatile blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc from Ch. Lassègue’s second label. This vintage is aged only 12 months in French oak, which gives it a lightness that allows for a slightly chilled serve. It’s fantastic with barbecued chicken, or even hot dogs!

Gran Moraine
NV Brut Rosé
Katherine Cole, Sparkling Wine Anytime

Gran Moraine Yamhill-Carlton Brut RoséJackson Family Wines has built itself into a luxury winemaking conglomerate in recent years under the savvy leadership of Barbara Banke, widow of company founder Jess Stonestreet Jackson. Banke’s portfolio of investments in Oregon’s Willamette Valley exhibits an appreciation for elegance, as evidenced by this spot-on charmer clad in golden-tinged pink, which caresses the palate with delicate raspberry and strawberry notes.

Editor, Boat International

Last minute luxury gifts for Father's Day 2021A perfect pairing for a special father's day dinner together with the family, the Lassègue Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a rich, tannic red with a velvety mouthfeel and bold, black fruit flavours. Derived from the sun-drenched vineyards of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, this red blends Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes to create a wine that complements red meat with its decadent tasting notes of ripe blackberry and juicy plums melting into an earthy and oaky aftertaste with just a hint of dark chocolate.

2015 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Patrick Schmitt, The Drinks Business

What's the best wine to have with steak?Offering a touch more freshness than your average richly ripe Napa Cab is this brilliant option from the neighbouring Sonoma County, specifically within the Alexander Valley AVA. It’s still intense and juicy, with concentrated blackcurrant, and sweet vanilla and chocolate notes, but it also has a lovely dry finish, with flavours of cedar, and some refreshing red cherry among all the fleshy black fruit.

2018 Sealift Vineyard Pinot Noir
Marisa D'Vari, A Wine Story

Just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, the Sealift Vineyard sits in the “true” Sonoma Coast, where a small enclave of dramatic vineyards thrive in this cool climate, creating stunning Pinot Noirs.The sandy loam soils were shaped from ancient marine terraces turned up from the bottom of the ocean during tectonic movements millions of years ago, which resulted in well-drained, nutrient-poor soils perfect for concentrated flavor development. Rich and complex, the Sealift Pinot Noir opens with intense aromas of blackberry and ripe raspberry with hints of clove, cocoa and herbs.A powerful expression of raspberry, sage and cardamom with a deep intensity on the palate and a long, complex finish.

2018 Edmeades Vineyard Pinot Noir
Marisa D'Vari, A Wine Story

The historic Edmeades Vineyard sits on a plateau above the Navarro River, just west of the small town of Philo. High density vines are planted in clay loam soils. This causes a beneficial struggle for nutrients and the development of rich, concentrated flavors in the fruit. From the nearby ocean, chilly coastal breezes sweep in each day around 3pm, maintaining cooler temperatures and allowing the grapes to ripen slowly. The bright red raspberry, Bing cherry and savory herb complexity display signature Mendocino character. Across the palate, the texture is juicy and rich, with subtle earthiness and smooth tannins. The finish is long and vibrant.
