SEVEN HILLS 2021 CABERNET SAUVIGNON WALLA WALLA VALLEY 750mL
With over 30 years of experience as Cabernet Sauvignon specialists, working with established, dedicated winegrowers, Seven Hills has sourced this bottling from a selection of the sweet spots of Cabernet Sauvignon terroir in deep silt-loam soils, thin wind-deposited silt on basalt, and cobblestone gravel at multiple-elevations around the AVA. Open-top fermented, aged in 30% new American and French barrels (225L barrels) for 15 months.
JEB DUNNUCK 91 POINTS - "Blue and black fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and gravelly earth notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley, a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 5% Syrah, and splashes of Carménère and Petite Syrah. It's medium to full-bodied and has a pure, elegant, silky texture, terrific tannins, and outstanding length."
FOXEN 2019 CHARDONNAY "BIEN NACIDO BLOCK-UU" SANTA MARIA VALLEY 750mL
Foxen has been producing wines since the mid '80's in Northern Santa Barbara County. Founders Bill Wathen and Dick Dore's vision has always been the same since the start; sustainably-farmed, vineyard-focused wines using a straightforward and minimalist approach to winemaking. The wines they produce always display beautiful balance, great texture with layers of nuances and this 2014 Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU Chardonnay fits that statement "To a T"!
ANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "Year in, year out Foxen presents some of the most compelling wines I taste anywhere in the world."
"The 2019 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU is bright, airy and wonderfully sculpted. White flowers, mint, white pepper and lemon peel are all finely-knit. As always, the UU Block Chardonnay is distinguished by its weightless personality, which makes it one of the most singular wines from Bien Nacido."
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "The 2019 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU brings up the intensity with lots of buttered apple, toasted hazelnut, white flowers, and toasty notes in a pretty, pure, yet still tight and focused style. It should have 5-7 years of longevity and is a great value in California Chardonnay."
