2023 Cave de Viré Chardonnay, Mâcon-Villages, Burgundy, France – Reserved aromas of Golden Delicious apple, tangerine peel and freshly sliced quince open on the nose. The palate is round and predominantly steely, with a mellow finish. Wine Enthusiast: 90 $17.00

2023 Château Le Chêne de Margot, Bordeaux, France – This easy-drinking blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Malbec is ripe, soft, and full-bodied, with a black coffee aroma. Its firm tannins, rich spice, and black fruit flavors show a wine full of potential. Wine Enthusiast: 89 $16.00

2022 Château La Rose Vircoulon, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux – This blend of Merlot 59%, Cabernet Franc 15% and Cabernet Sauvignon 26% shows richness and sophistication. Planted on terraces at the eastern limit of Saint-Émilion, the wine shows a hint of vanilla aroma from wood aging and concentrated black fruits typical of this warm vintage. $30.00

2020 Esprit de Gloria St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux – This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is fragrant and fruity, with a nose of violets, purple plums, cassis, honey and cloves. It’s creamy, balanced, and well-rounded, with a medium- to full-bodied profile and well-integrated tannins. Joyful! Drink or hold through 2030. JamesSuckling: 92 $39.00
