Lambert Wines Nebbiolo 2022
$80.00“For what I want from a wine, nebbiolo ticks every box,” says Lambert. “But it’s the ultimate challenge for a winemaker. The winemaking itself is relatively easy, but the variety is so fickle: you have to adapt your farming to the site where it’s grown, and it has such a long growing season. There are so […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2021
$45.00An underappreciated variety in Australia, but I have no doubt that we will soon be tasting a Farvie Mourvedre, based on the quality of this bottle. Classic aromatics of smokey, earthy, campfire, camphor and dark fruits. Again in 2021 the shape is so different from previous vintages, rounder and somehow a little bit grander. But […]

Massolino Barolo 2019
$110.00“The 2019 Barolo is a very serious wine. Readers looking for an easygoing, entry-level Barolo will not find that here. Bright and sizzling with tannin, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. Crushed rocks, red/purplish fruit and dried flowers emerge with some coaxing, but this is really […]

Cascina delle Rose Mixed Pack
$549.00 Per case of 6A few words from Ned Goodwin MW on the vintages: “2019 is the first of a triumvirate of very good vintages, following the forward, frisky and imminently approachable 2018’s. To make recent comparisons, 2019 is dense of extract with a bulwark of firm, marked tannins. It is frequently compared to 2013, by others to 2016. […]
