Sun ripened goodness. Light and approachable, but still holds a conversation.

Light, bright, juicy, and utterly transfixing.

Light bodied cousin of Barolo, this one has a fun almond hint to go with the bright raspberry and mint.

Less than 2000 bottles of this high-elevation beauty are in the wild. Super boutique and rewarding.

The grapes hail from the Barbabecchi vineyard (over 100 year old vines), about 900 meters up on Mt. Etna. Frank's wines are mercurial and very rare.

Dry-aged beef alert! Tannins and acid and fruit are in line.

Dense but energetic. Tannin lovers rejoice.

About as whacky as we get on this list. Needs a solid hour of decanting before diving in.

Love Amarone, but on a bit of a budget. This wine is for you.

Meticulous and luxurious. This vintage is an exceptional representation of Amarone. Plus, the dude that makes these wines is on an ATV when he's not making the best Amarone in the world.

Elegant, rich, and earthy. Silky Sangiovese from the motherland.

Super Tuscan blend that lives up to the hype.

Another rare gem. Coastal Cabernet that delivers.

A forest sits just below the vineyards and helps impart this lovely spruce vibe to the wine. All the fruit leather you want, with a juniper kick.

Lovely, chewy tannins but still maintains its finesse and delicacy.

Aged 5 years in barrel before bottling; this is focused and intense.

A riper style Barolo with lots of tobacco and cherry.

Whole cluster fermented juicy goodness.

Super steep vineyards with vibrant minerality. Papa Hemmingway might have had this. Who knows.

Lighter style Malbec. Aged in concrete eggs.

Rich and robust Malbec as rugged as the terrain is grown on.

Single vineyard, high elevation Cab Franc. It's begging for Waygu.

Imagine drinking hot chocolate out of a leather handbag. I might do that now that you mention it.

Light and juicy. About 90 cases made. This is a lot of fun.

Southern Rhone Syrah from one of the world's most electric wine makers.

Dry farmed, old vine Zin. Not a lot of this out there.

Dark, peppery, and lively. Natty Syrah that sings for everyone.

Drinks like Châteauneuf-du-Pape at a fraction of the price.

Richer, mountain fruit Zinfandel.

Robust and refined, earthy with lovely fruit and perfume. Banger.

Savory, chocolatey, spicy. Liquid velvet.

Opulent and tactile. Benefits from decanting.

Rich blend from Paso. Stewed fruit and leather and sage.

Mature enough to have a roommate, but still comes home to do laundry.

Bordeaux style blend from the foothills of the Mayacamas Range. Lively acid with all the California fruit.

Biodynamic Bordeaux blend. Plays like a Right Bank meets Loire Valley.

Barn yard funk and Maraschino cherries.

High toned and perfumed. A blend of three different vineyards.

Whole cluster fermented Merlot that sees 22 months in oak before bottling.

Vibrant and elegant Right Bank Bordeaux. Subtle oak and restrained fruit.

Rich, flinty Left Bank Bordeaux.

Lush, Cabernet dominated blend from the historic Napanook Vineyard.

Rocky, volcanic vineyards producing mineral driven grapes with a lot of body.

Scoreboard darling. Dynamic Bordeaux style blend with complexity and length.

Powerful but fresh. From some of the coolest climate vineyards producing Cabernet in Sonoma. #553 | Monterey County, CA | Pinot Noir
