2022 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc
2022 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc is more than just a bottle of white Burgundy — it’s a golden invitation to sip on history, elegance, and a little French magic. The Drouhin family has been making wine since 1880, but it was in the 1920s that Joseph Drouhin’s son, Maurice, had the brilliant foresight to purchase a rocky, sun-drenched vineyard on the Beaune hillside — a place the medieval monks once called Clos des Mouches (named not for insects, but for the old Burgundian word for bees, who loved the flowering vines). Fast forward to 2022: the buzz is still real. This vintage of Clos des Mouches Blanc is a dazzling Chardonnay, precise and poised, with floral notes, citrus zest, a whisper of honeysuckle, and a kiss of oak that’s more French charm than muscle. It balances richness with mineral tension in a way that Burgundy lovers dream about and New World winemakers try to copy on weekends. Whether you're toasting Tuesday night triumphs or cellaring it for a future celebration, this bottle is pure Burgundian class and proof that good things happen when you follow the bees.

2021 Moon Tsai Napa Chardonnay
We’re delighted to offer the 2021 Moon Tsai Napa Valley Chardonnay, a luxurious yet finely balanced white that exemplifies the elegance of world-class Napa Chardonnay. Moon Tsai was founded by Larry and Mary Tsai with a vision to craft limited-production wines that merge Napa Valley’s power with Old World finesse. Working with acclaimed winemaker Philippe Melka, the winery sources from top-tier vineyard sites, including the famed Hyde and Ritchie vineyards, to produce Chardonnays of depth, purity, and precision. The 2021 vintage is beautifully expressive—aromas of ripe pear, lemon curd, toasted brioche, and white peach unfold into a creamy, textured palate lifted by vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of vanilla bean, crushed stone, and hazelnut linger through a long, polished finish. Aged in French oak (a portion new), this wine strikes a sophisticated balance between richness and restraint, making it equally compelling now and over the next 5–7 years. A standout expression from one of Napa’s most meticulous producers.

2014 Mail Road 'Mt. Carmel Vineyard' Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
We’re pleased to offer the 2014 Mail Road ‘Mt. Carmel Vineyard’ Chardonnay from California’s renowned Sta. Rita Hills AVA—a rare and highly regarded bottling from one of the region’s most compelling vineyard sites. Mail Road Wines was founded by winemaker Matt Dees (of Jonata and The Hilt) and proprietor Sam Marmorstein, with the singular goal of producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the historic Mt. Carmel Vineyard. Planted in 1990 on steep, windswept slopes above the monastery of the same name, Mt. Carmel is dry-farmed and organically tended, yielding wines of extraordinary precision and tension. The 2014 Chardonnay is a beautifully composed wine—layered with lemon curd, crushed seashell, white flowers, and a saline minerality that speaks to the site's diatomaceous earth soils. Aged in mostly neutral French oak, it combines richness and restraint with remarkable energy and length. This is a truly limited-production wine from a vineyard few ever get access to, and it’s drinking at a perfect point now, with several years of graceful evolution still ahead.

2021 Opus One
Opus One, the iconic Napa Valley estate founded in 1978 by Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, remains a benchmark for luxury Bordeaux-style blends in California. Crafted with precision and elegance, the 2021 vintage continues the estate’s legacy of producing a singular, expressive wine from Oakville fruit. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, the wine spent 19.5 months in new French oak and was made from a notably dry and low-yielding vintage that emphasized concentration and structure. In the glass, the 2021 Opus One opens with refined aromatics of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, layered with notes of violet, graphite, and subtle baking spices. The palate is plush yet vibrant, with fine-grained tannins supporting a core of dark fruit, cocoa, and black tea, finishing long and elegant with a touch of minerality. Critics have lauded the vintage with scores in the mid to high 90s, praising its poise, depth, and age-worthiness. Ideal for high-end clients and collectors, the 2021 Opus One offers both immediate drinking appeal and the potential to evolve gracefully over the next three to four decades, making it a compelling investment for those seeking classic Napa Valley refinement in a modern frame.

1989 Chateau Gruaud Larose 3.0 Liter
The 1989 Château Gruaud-Larose 3.0L (double magnum) is a mature, classically structured Saint-Julien with impressive depth and complexity that has evolved beautifully in large format. In the glass, it opens with an inviting bouquet of dried blackcurrant, cedar, leather, and tobacco leaf, alongside earthy notes of forest floor, graphite, and a touch of mint. On the palate, it delivers a medium to full body with refined, silky tannins and a harmonious balance between aged fruit and savory tertiary elements. Flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, cigar box, and worn saddle leather unfold gradually, supported by bright acidity and a long, nuanced finish marked by hints of spice, iron, and crushed herbs. While not as flamboyant or fruit-forward as the celebrated 1990, the 1989 offers a more subtle and restrained expression of Gruaud-Larose, appealing to lovers of traditional Bordeaux. Château Gruaud-Larose, classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, has a history dating back to 1725 when it was founded by Joseph Stanislas Gruaud. The estate was consolidated in the early 20th century by the Cordier family and has been under the ownership of the Merlaut family since 1997. The 1989 Chateau Gruaud Larose remains a compelling example of the château’s age-worthy and characterful wines.

2021 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard
The 2021 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Vineyard, grown on the family estate in the volcanic benches of St. Helena, Napa Valley—planted in 1955 and producing estate wines since 1993—is a compelling expression of precision and depth under winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses. In this vintage, tiny clusters from a dry winter and mild growing season yielded concentrated fruit, with 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot hand-harvested in mid-September, fermented with native yeasts, and aged 19 months in 30% new French oak before bottling in May 2023. Medium-bodied yet intense, with poised acidity and layered flavors spanning black cherries, blood orange, tobacco, and cedar, this vintage delivers both immediate appeal (especially with a touch of decanting) and aging potential through 2036, making it a standout Napa Cabernet with estate pedigree, critical acclaim, and classic elegance.

2022 Brilliant Mistake Napa Cabernet
Brilliant Mistake is an enigmatic wine project which is on the irreversible countdown to cult wine status and blast-off is well under way.

2021 Rotem & Mounir Chateuneuf du Pape Arioso Blanc
We are pleased to present the 2021 Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso Blanc, a distinguished white wine from one of the Rhône Valley's most innovative producers. Mounir Saouma, renowned for his work with Lucien Le Moine in Burgundy, ventured into Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 2006, acquiring a small, neglected plot in Pignan. This acquisition marked the beginning of a meticulous journey focused on low-yield, organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. Today, Saouma oversees 21 acres across eight vineyards in all five villages of the appellation, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of each site. The 2021 Arioso Blanc is crafted exclusively from Grenache Blanc, sourced from the sandy soils of the Pignan lieu-dit. The wine undergoes a gentle pressing with small, traditional presses, followed by an extended maceration period and aging in a combination of barrels, foudres, and cement vessels. This method preserves the wine's purity and expression, resulting in a complex and age-worthy white wine.
