Drinking Window: 2030 - 2065 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 - 100 RP Region: Pauillac ABV: 13.1 - 13.5%" A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot that weighs in at 13.3% alcohol, the 2025 Pontet-Canet is one of the finest wines this estate has produced. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cassis, wild berries and plums mingled with notions of violet and burning embers, it's full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a degree of structural polish and sensuality that is rare in the Médoc, ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. Over the last handful of years, technical director Mathieu Bessonnet and his team have revitalized Pontet-Canet's vineyards with well-timed soil work and precise phytosanitary treatments; and since 2023, the careful use of "pieds de cuve" in the winery, along with early blending, more refined barrel choices and cooler temperatures in the chai—plus more precise bottling practices—have conspired to take this estate to new heights of quality and consistency. In 2025, the team formed lower-than-usual "ponts" (whereby the canopies of adjacent vines are braided together in an arch) to retain denser foliage to protect the fruiting zone from sunshine, and they waited to pick late in pursuit of full maturity in Cabernet Sauvignon, finishing on September 23. The result is one of the wines of the vintage. - 60 on Order - William Kelley, Wine Advocate - Apr 30, 2026

Silkiness is present, but in its youngest stage and a few years will help tannins already supple to express more richness. " - Winery Notes -

Drinking Window: 2024 - 2028 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 92 WE Region: Sancerre ABV: 12.5 - 13.5% This wine displays beautiful aromatic intensity, beginning with delicate floral notes of small white flowers and blackcurrants, followed by powerful mineral aromas of pebbles and gunpowder. The bouquet is elegant, complex, and expressive of the richness of this exceptional terroir. On the palate, the wine is round and supple, with a subtle tanginess.

Impeccable, polished and magnificent wine with a lifespan of 18 years". Crafted from 100% tempranillo, dark fruit rules the roost in this well balanced wine. On the nose macerated plums, black cherries and blackberries intermingle with sweet spices, black pepper, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco leaf from the oak, with hints of cedar wood, earth and graphite also coming through. Intense and concentrated on the palate, it's a powerful, complex and multi-layered wine with high acid, sweet fine-grained tannins, and a long finish." – Jeb Dunnuck

Made for the ages, but relatively accessible already. Enormously concentrated, but still light on its feet. You really feel that this must have come from a very stony site; those wines can be austere, but this is not. Very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold." – James Suckling

Still tightly wound, but the intensity and refined chalky minerality in the tense, superlong finish are stunning. With aeration, a wonderfully subtle aroma of orange blossoms emerges. From a 0.25 hectare vineyard planted in the 1970's. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drinkable now but best from 2026." – James Suckling

Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 95 CT Region: Napa Valley ABV: 14.8% "We ferment our Chardonnay in new French oak barrels; it is then sur-lie aged for 12 months with weekly stirring. We choose the best barrels for the Finch Hollow, showcasing a full-bodied Chardonnay bursting with brioche and honeysuckle aromatics. The palate layers flavors of yellow peach and ripe melon with tropical fruit undertones; the textured mouthfeel gives way to a distinctive, lingering finish. The grapes for all Jarvis wines are grown on hillside vineyards, which were originally planted in 1986. The winery and vineyards are located in the Vaca mountain range, about 1,000 feet above the valley floor and four miles east of the city of Napa. The cool mountain growing region provides moderate temperatures for optimum ripening of the grapes." - Winery Notes

In which case, the Monts Luisants will be filtered for security. Pure and clean colour, with a particularly complex bouquet, some lime blossom, some greengage, and some earthier notes. White fruit on the palate, with a crisp mineral thread, liverly at the finish, indeed a superb finish. I would keep it like this, so let's hope the Malo does not happen. Fuller bodied than the excellent 2021, but just as good." – Jasper Morris - Inside Bordeaux - Tasted: Nov. 2023

It is not just a verdejo: with its chalky minerality and freshness that awakens the senses, it invites you to a savour it leisurely. Its long, dry finish lingers playfully on the palate, like an irreverent wink for those who enjoy with style. A serious, elegant white and deliciously daring". Do not let this price point question the quality of the wine, with 60%of the juice being made from 100 to 200 year old vines and entering the summer months, this wine is certain to be a crowd pleaser." – Luis Guitierrez - Wine Advocate: June 2025
