Caymus Special Selection is always a selection of the best barrels that play to a style constantly pushing the limits of richness and concentration, in this case, clocking in at 16% alcohol. The nose is slightly cooked and raisiny with plenty of cassis, chocolate, and coffee spilling onto the palate. Blackberry jam, pipe tobacco and brown spices line a richly dark, dense tannin finish. It is only made in the best years, but I wouldn’t mind if this was throttled back a bit.

This vintage scored a perfect 100 points with Wine Enthusiast

A concentrated floral character to this bottling emerges more redolently as the wine breathes, showing lavender, violet, cherry and wild berry on the nose. The palate is bold but silky, offering dark berry and cranberry as well as slightly bitter touches of sagebrush

Tasting note: Atypical aromas are surprisingly broad and sweet given the mash bill: Boiled lollies, peppermint chocolate and peach nectar come to mind, followed by candied fruits and rye spices in the mouth. Rounds out with grilled pineapple and minty rye notes through the aftertaste. Interesting take. 45% Alc./Vol.

Legent® Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend is a testament to the collaborative artistry and innovation in whiskey-making. Originating as a meticulously crafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Fred in Kentucky, it embarks on a transformative journey across continents to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery in Japan. Under the expertise of Shinji, it undergoes secondary aging in French Oak wine casks and Spanish Oak sherry casks, as well as a finishing period in sherry casks previously used for maturing Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky. These unique aging processes impart rich notes and a vivid spiced finish, adding layers of complexity and depth. Finally, the carefully selected batches are blended with the original Bourbon Whiskey before bottling in Clermont. The result is a harmonious and complex expression, marrying oaky warmth with smooth brightness and culminating in a distinctly long finish.

Bright, forceful and slightly reductive, this white is aged less than a year in neutral French oak, allowing the fruit to speak and offer richness on the midpalate. Gingerbread and lemongrass flavors accent its essential core of green apple fruit.

The Pym-Rae reveals a deep garnet-purple color and a slightly reticent, slowly emerging nose of freshly crushed blackcurrants, ripe blackberries and wild blueberries with suggestions of garrigue, red currant jelly, mossy tree bark and truffles plus wafts of bouquet garni and Sichuan pepper.

The SLV has generous dark fruit aromas of black currant, plum, candied fig and cocoa dust. The palate is dense, yet polished with tannins that meld with layers of dark fruit, fig and violet. The structure and tannins of this wine point to its ageability. Lay this one down for a few years and drink from 2026-2039. This too scored high - 99 points from Wine Enthusiast. Because we also carry the 2018, this is a great opportunity to create a mini-vertical.

92/100 James Suckling
Blackcurrants, blackberry jam, walnuts, earth and dried herbs on the nose. Salted olives, too. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins and rich, savory character.

Beautifully crafted, juicy, bright and flavorful. Bucket loads of strawberry, melon and pineapple flavors practically leap out of the glass. Dry with racy, vibrant acidity. Discover the amazing versatility of this refreshing, food-friendly Rosé.

98+/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple in colour, the Cabernet Sauvignon Estate needs a lot of swirling and coaxing to unlock notions of blackcurrant pastilles, warm black plums and mulberries, plus hints of black olives, tilled soil, mossy tree bark and violets with emerging baker's chocolate and star anise hints. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and with impeccable poise, it has beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing epically long and earthy.

98/100 James Suckling

Gorgeous blackberry and currant aromas with hints of herbs. Wonderfully varietal character. Full-bodied with tannins that frame the wine so nicely and create a long, lightly chewy finish. Fantastic wine.
