Robert Parker 100 points

Like the other vintages tasted on this occasion (2016 and 2017), the 2018 Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red is massively concentrated. But what sets it apart from those other great wines is its greater degree of integration and flow. From start to nearly infinite finish, the flavors of ripe cassis, dark chocolate and purple raspberries ease across the full-bodied palate in a seamless, velvety swell of lusciousness, without ever seeming heavy or overdone. Of all the amazing wines I tasted at Abreu this year, this one rises above the others.

BOBBY’S PRIVATE COLLECTION RED WINE
2018 Klipsun Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla
Average retail $165
Our price $110

Fruit for this wine comes from one of the appellation’s oldest and most venerated vineyards. The aromas of dark roasted coffee bean, black cherry, licorice and dried herbs draw you in. Velvety, juicy cherry flavors follow. It’s a hammer in a velvet glove, a wine that wins on nuance and grace but with plenty of power behind it. Undeniable in appeal now, this is really meant for the cellar.

Pèppoli delivers intense notes of red fruit, especially cherries, currants and strawberries accompanied by floral undertones of violets and lavender with light, spicy hints of licorice. Its palate is defined by a soft entry, accompanied by lively sensations, and sustained by ripe tannins that lead to a fresh, savory finish.

2022 Lovebock by Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand
Average retail $24
Our price $20

Water white with a hint of green and gold. Clear and attractive pineapple, peach, and lychee aroma, with crushed green herbs, wet stone minerality, and a hint of white pepper spice. In the mouth, it is dry, pure, and fresh with ripe pineapple, peach, and yellow apple, followed by hints of meadow grass on a hot summers day. Plenty of mineral energy and citrus-inspired flavors linger on the palate, underscored by umami.

RED WINE
2019 Fontodi Pinot Nero Case Via Tuscany
Average retail $85
Our price $75

The 2019 Pinot Nero Case Via is a very special expression of the grape that shows darkness and increased concentration in this beautiful vintage. This wine offers a purely Tuscan take on Pinot Nero. It pours from the bottle with a dark garnet color, showing aromas of dried cherry, smoke, tar and road paving. The wine closes with a broad, mid-weight approach.
