1 Boen Tri-App Chardonnay, $17.00 $13.00 Santa Barbara, Monterey, Sonoma, California Opulent flavors with a silky, alluring texture.

Bright acidity and unctuous roundness take the wine to a lingering, delectable finish.

2 Boen Tri-App Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara, $17.00 $13.00 Monterey, Sonoma, California Aromas of dark plum and white pepper, this wine is well-structured and framed by dry Italian herbs with notes of cinnamon and clove spices.

Abundant blackberry bramble and touches of maraschino cherry fill the mid-palate.

4 Bisol Jeio Cuvee Rose, Veneto, Italy $14.00 $11.00 The color is brilliant with extremely fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with intense hints of rose, fresh fruit, crisp citrus and a dry, long finish.

Table III BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE TREASURY WINE ESTATES

15 Maison de Grand Esprit, Burgundy, France $24.00 $19.00 The nose has hints of white nectarine, toasted almonds and a sense of minerality. A balanced example of good length, the mousse is persistent and elegant. White stone fruit and a touch of citrus can be noted.

16 Stag’s Leap Winery Chardonnay, $23.00 $18.50 Napa Valley This Chardonnay opens with fresh apples, Bosc pears and white grapefruit notes with wafts of honeysuckle and toasted almonds.

18 Penfold’s Max Shiraz/Cabernet, Australia $20.00 $16.00 A bluestone saltiness and waft of iron filings immediately captures attention.

Almond cake sweetness and white chocolate on the nose create a web with boysenberry and blue fruit aromatics. Structural grip and defined tannins wrap around a palate full of blueberry and mulberry brightness. Black olive and brine-like Nori savories add an extra dimension so that fruit doesn’t stand alone.

19 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet $21.00 $17.00 Sauvignon, Knights Valley, California This Cabernet is set each vintage as a Bordeaux blend, with soft and silky tannins and a plush, full mouth-feel setting it up for immediate enjoyment, although it’s built to age and develop further complexity.

Quantity

20 Kendall Jackson VR Rose, $14.00 $11.00 Santa Barbara and Sonoma, California A gorgeous hue of pale pink jumps out of the glass with crisp grapefruit, strawberry and white floral notes. Aromas of fresh cut watermelon, hibiscus and apricot. The Pinot Noir is bright, juicy and vibrant with delicate floral and pink citrus fruit nuances. The Syrah contributes a beautiful pink/coral color and strawberry fruit notes.

21 Kendall Jackson Estate Santa Maria $18.00 $13.00 Valley Chardonnay, California The chilly climate and very long growing season allow the grapes to retain a high natural acidity, while the narrow diurnal temperatures of the growing season result in extraordinarily flavorful grapes. Rich and creamy with golden mango, pineapple, yellow peach and honeysuckle flower flavors, plus a hint of tangerine. Oak barrel aging adds notes of buttered biscuits and vanilla bean to the palate and a long, lingering finish.

22 Kendall Jackson Estate Camelot $21.00 $17.50 Highlands Chardonnay SMV, California A direct infusion of daily fog and moderate temperatures combine for an extremely long growing season. Pineapple, guava and tangerine help provide a lush, rich palate. Notes of cinnamon, candied lime and vanilla bean create an appealing and long, lingering finish.

23 Kendall Jackson Estate Anderson Valley $21.00 $17.00 Pinot Noir, Mendocino, California The wine shows its cool-climate origins in bright acidity, accenting the rich flavors of wild strawberries, black cherries and plum. Firm minerality grounds the wine. The tannins are firm, yet silky on the finish, while oak barrel aging brings a smoky, sandalwood note.

24 Kendall Jackson Estate Petaluma Gap $22.00 $17.50 Pinot Noir, Sonoma, California The daily appearance of gusty winds causes a cool-climate environment, which creates smaller berries and thicker skins. The result is a richer, concentrated pinot noir, loaded with flavors of red and blue fruit alongside savory spice notes.

Table V GRAPEVINE DISTRIBUTORS

26 Commanderie De La Bargemone Blanc, $16.00 $13.00 Provence, France 2018 Bargemone is among the foremost estates of the Coteaux d’Aix appellation of Provence. Founded by Templar knights in the 13th century, the Commanderie is home to a proud viticultural tradition and more than 160 acres of sustainably grown vineyards. This classic, unoaked white is light, crisp and refreshing, offering aromas of lemon oil and sage, with a light mineral character and a long clean finish.

27 Domaine Sanguard-Guyot Pouilly Fuisse $21.00 $16.50 “Terroirs”, Burgundy, France 2017 This pouilly-fuisse is a wine for ageing. It is crisp but silky, easy to drink, with good acidity that guarantees an improvement in bottle for 3-5 years after harvest. It combines the purity of ripe fruit with the typical minerality of Vergisson terroirs. 40 year old vines from different Vergisson parcels.

28 Clarendelle by Chateau Haut Brion, $14.50 $11.50 Rose, Bordeaux, France 2018 40% merlot, 30% cabernet franc, 30% cabernet sauvignon The powerful bouquet features floral aromas such as rose, as well as fruity overtones of blood orange, apricot, and grapefruit.

29 Chateau Teyssier “Lacroix” $13.00 $11.00 Bordeaux, France 2016 55% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon, 20% cabernet franc.

30 Hook & Ladder Station 10 Red Blend, $19.00 $15.00 Sonoma, California 2015 70% zinfandel, 11% petit sirah, 15% cabernet sauvignon, 3% carignane, 1% alicante bouschet. For Station 10 we envisioned a bold, fruit forward, wellstructured zinfandel blend that would pair well with a myriad of dishes. To achieve this, we picked grapes from our oldest zinfandel vines and a small amount of carignane and alicante bouschet from the same vineyard. These were combined with the petite sirah and cabernet sauvignon from our Los Amigos vineyard, to enhance the berry and spice profile of the blend. The varietals were aged separately in European and American oak for over a year before blending and bottling.

31 Ty Caton Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, $25.00 $20.00 Moon Mt., Sonoma, California 2016 Greets the palate with rich and robust flavors of black cherries, plums and cassis, followed by oak notes of sandalwood and vanilla. These dark flavors produce a dense textured mouth feel that combine with soft sturdy tannins, followed by a long silky-smooth finish. Caton Vineyard is defined by its sustainable farming and belief that healthier vineyards produce unique and distinctive wines. The vineyards have multiple sun exposures, soil types, and vary in altitude over 300 feet between each other. Our meticulous farming practices showcase the love for our land and passion for the wines that come from it. 100% cabernet sauvignon, estate grown.

32 Champagne Drappier, Carte d’Or NV, $48.00 $39.00 Urville, Champagne, France 92 Points - Wine Spectator, 75% pinot noir, 15% chardonnay, 10% meunier.

Michel Drappier is the 7th generation of the Drappier family. The family stretches back to the draper Remy Drappier, who was born in 1604, but it was not until 1808 that Francois settled in the Urville, in the south of Champagne, where Cistercian monks had settled in the 12th century.

The Carte d’Or cuvee is the very expression of the Drappier style. With its very high proportion of pinot noir, one is almost tasting a blanc de noirs.

Champagne with a fine aromatic richness, it opens with aromas of stone fruits such as white peach. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex palate.

33 Dopff & Irion Pinot Blanc, $15.00 $12.00 Alsace, France 2017 The Dopff and Irion families, whose origins can be traced to the vineyard as of the 16th century, have known, from one generation to the next, how to build upon their heritage: the vineyard and Chateau de Riquewihr constructed in 1549. Riquewihr is dubbed “the pearl of Alsace”. 100% pinot blanc. Complex notes of nectarine, pineapple, fresh almond, white acacia flowers, and white pepper. Very harmonious, evoking honey, spicy cardamom pepper, citrus fruit on the finish, well balanced acidity and alcohol.

34 Joseph Drouhin Saint-Veran, $19.00 $15.00 Burgundy, France 2018 Stylistically close to pouilly-fuisse, with a golden hue, greenish reflection and refreshing taste. “The wines from Saint-Veran, a small appellation surrounding its more famous cousin, Pouilly-Fuisse, can offer exceptional value, especially when produced by someone like Drouhin. Made entirely from chardonnay, Drouhin’s Saint Veran combines a lovely stoniness characteristic of the appellation and a hint of creamy seductiveness with the elegant and lacy Drouhin style. A bright finish keeps you coming back.

A great bargain!” Michael Apstein 35 Chateau de Campuget Tradition Rose, $13.00 $10.00 Costeries de Nimes, Rhone, France 2018 The Wine Spectator “Best Values.” “White peach, watermelon rind and cherry pit notes mingle in this fresh, breezy rose, syrah and grenache. Drink now” Since 1942, our sole aim has been to produce Rhone Valley Grands vins, respecting the heritage of our soil and our identity. The round rhone stones, the southern sun, the mistral winds and the syrah and grenache grapes are the basic elements which form the identity of campuget.

36 Drouhin Oregon, Roserock Pinot Noir, $27.00 $22.00 Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette 2015 94 Points - James Suckling. Another amazing pinot noir that shows such purity of the fruit. Blueberries, raspberries, lemons, oranges and hints of caramel. Medium to full body, an incredibly poished texture and a beautiful, exciting finish.” 92 Points - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. “Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Roserock pinot noir is a little closed at this youthful stage, offering delicate red cherry and raspberry leaf notes over hints of black pepper and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate offers firm, chewy tannins and a lively backbone to support the red berry and cedarlaced flavors, finishing long with a nice toastiness.” Our Roserock pinot noir is a cuvee selection from the estate’s 35 blocks which are handpicked, sorted and individually fermented.

Today, the winemaking reins are in the hands of the young, yet incredibly talented Florent Lancon, who has a green thumb when it comes to growing just about anything (ask to see his greenhouse if you visit!)” The Wine Advocate The estate is a contiguous 100 acres planted to 86 acres of red grapes and 14.8 acres of white grapes, with vines averaging 50 years of age. Iron-rich topsoil over clay and limestone. Aging occurs in vats for a period of 8 months, with wines from the different vineyard parcels and different grape varieties kept separate. Blending does not occur until after the aging period.

38 Dusted Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, $41.00 $33.00 Columbia Valley, Washington 2016 91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck. “The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon offers more purity and elegance with impressive cassis and blackberry fruits, a kiss of graphite and tobacco, medium body, and a polished, balanced, elegant style. It’s a terrific, outstanding cabernet that will keep for over a decade.”

90 Points - James Suckling. “A somewhat biscuity edge to the nose with baking spices that are infused into violet flowers and blue fruit. The palate has a gently firm edge that holds flavor long with a succulent and freshly appealing edge to the finish.”

39 Pewsey Vale Riesling, Eden Valley, $16.00 $13.00 Australia 2018 94 Points James Sucking. Pale straw in color with green hues, intense aromas reminiscent of fine dried herbs, white flowers, lemon and lime. The palate shows great length and depth with grapefruit and lime, fresh rosemary, white pepper and a hint of tropical fruit. The wine finishes with a fresh natural acidity which balances the flavor intensity and a minerality that will reward medium to long term cellaring.

40 Collemassari Melacce, $14.00 $11.50 Tuscany, Italy 2016 90 Points Wine Spectator. A vermentino of noble character with crispy peel and lively acidity.

42 Pico Maccario Lavignone Rosato, $17.00 $14.00 Piedmont, Italy 2018 91 Points James Suckling. 100% barbera. Pale salmon in appearance, Lavignone Rosato is beautiful to look at.

The dry and balanced finish leaves the palate feeling clean and refreshed.

43 Sean Minor Pinot Noir, $19.00 $15.50 Somona Coast 2016 91 Points Wine Enthusiast. 100% pinot noir. This wine is medium-bodied with plum, blueberry and strawberry nuances.

55 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, $20.00 $16.00 Santa Barbara County 2017 This wine is the perfect red for light lunches on the patio, lazy afternoons picnicking in the shade or an evening of hors d’oeuvres and lunch at the pub.

56 Vinum Cellars Red Dirt Red, $20.00 $16.00 Paso Robles 2016 This is a unique blend which yields a combination of flavors that is only possible with a blend. The syrah is very juicy with ripe cherry and supple with a silky texture; the mourvedre is responsible for the earthy tones and then the wine finishes with the spicy grenache which seems to express black and/or white pepper notes and followed by the super dark and dense petite syrah which adds depth, concentration a supple cherry flavors which brings the whole blend together.

57 Familia Zuccardi Jose Malbec, $48.00 $37.00 Argentina 2013 94 Points Wine Advocate. The 2013 Jose Zuccardi is mostly malbec, with 5% cabernet sauvignon from Altamira and Gualtallary. It fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in large oak foudres.

There is a great austerity and balance here, with more bone than flesh.

There’s never any excess ripeness, extraction or oak. Serious, focused, deep mineral and long. Truly outstanding.
