96 Pts James Suckling

"The 2016 Lafite Rothschild is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot

Obviously a great wine for long-term aging in a great Sauternes year

with vivid acidity and finely woven tannins

the epitome of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2019 Tempranillo 96 Pts James SucklingAromas of violet and fresh raspberry introduce this Grenache dominant red. Sourced from biodynamically grown grapes cultivated on a cross section of terroir within Chateauneuf du Pape, it's ripe but pristine and concentrated, quivering with flavors of rich black cherry and boysenberry preserves. A whisper of spice and smoke suggests the barest of oak influence. Delicious now. 95 Pts Wine Enthusiast
