2019 Stonestreet Upper Barn Chardonnay
We just tasted the mesmerizing Double 95 Point 2019 Stonestreet Upper Barn Chardonnay. To those of you who are already familiar with this peak domestic Chardonnay, it will come as no surprise that we were amazed at how this team continue to knock it out of the park vintage after vintage, consistently rivaling the best that Burgundy has to offer. In the autumn of 1989, Jess Jackson acquired the Zellerbach winery and renamed it in honor of his late father, Jess Stonestreet Jackson. Stonestreet quickly garnered international acclaim for their powerful reds and luscious whites, but the Upper Barn Chardonnay has surpassed everything, becoming a regular thing of beauty. The stars continue to align as this vineyard insists on producing wines with density and a dreamy mix of aromatics and texture. The profile of the 2019 Upper Barn is both opulent and elegant, with aromas of stargazer lily, kumquat, and fennel, with the unique concentration and structure that will only improve with cellaring. This wine is perfectly balanced with flavors of honeycomb, nectarine preserves, and almond. The finish is round and mouthwatering, with lingering flavors on the palate. The Upper Barn represents the ongoing battle between the Old & New World, and wines like this one show the gap has narrowed significantly.

2018 Immortal Estate Slope Cabernet Sauvignon
100 Point Winemaker Timothy Milos created Hidden Ridge Vineyard in 2004, in collaboration with Marco DiGiulio, and has been the sole winemaker since 2008. With an impressive resume including stellar stints at Stag`s Leap, Opus One and Cliff Lede, he is now working with new owners Randy Nichols and Tim Martin (co-owner Tusk Estates) on the acclaimed Hidden Ridge property. Its unique terroir has produced wines which have earned the ultimate in wine accolades, a 100-point perfect score from Robert Parker. The 96 Point 2018 Immortal Slope is a powerful, dense wine of great depth and endless complexity, but very accessible in its youth, it will continue to evolve for decades. Summed up by Robert Parker Jr. as “clearly world-class Cabernet," it is priced at a mere fraction of its similarly rated competitors. The 'Slope' delivers truly outstanding value, and the quality/cost ratio of this monster Cabernet will blow your mind. We sold out of the 2017 in short order, and we anticipate the even higher rated 2018 to fly out exactly the same way.

2008 Henriot Cuvee Hemera
Two hundred years after Apolline Henriot founded Maison Henriot, the Champagne region experienced a classic year. 2008 was a perfect reflection of the region with cool and uncertain weather in winter, spring and summer followed by a return of the sun as the harvest approached, just as if the Goddess Hemera herself used all her powers to produce one of the greatest ever vintages. Henriot’s 200th anniversary harvest realized Apolline’s vision as Cuvee Hemera 2008, showcasing both the perfect conditions of the vintage and the six founding grands crus of the House. Last Wednesday afternoon we hosted the Champagne Henriot team at Graileys, who held a Henriot masterclass for the trade. We tasted the 2008 Hemera, and with almost 14 years on its lees it revealed itself to be a stunning vintage Champagne of incredible depth and sophistication. Considering the spectrum of the world's finest Champagnes tasted regularly in the club, to find one that really stands out, it has to be something truly special...and this one is. At the BEST PRICE IN THE COUNTRY this is the Champagne deal of the year.

The Inopia Blanc shakes up the old, flabby, more viscous white Rhones, and opens your eyes to a lighter, more complex, Burgundian style white. The 2021 Inopia Blanc is a forward-thinking, groundbreaking wine at a shockingly modest price point. Trust us.
