Drinking Window: 2033 - 2043 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 94 - 96 JM Region: Morey - St - Denis - Monts ABV: 13.5 - 14% "No malolactic fermentation so far at all, not sulphured, and will probably therefore get to the bottle without Malo taking place. 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

Drinking Window: 2032 - 2042 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 94 - 96 JM, 94 TA Region: Morey - St - Denis - Monts ABV: 13.5 - 14% "Slightly paler in colour than the Domaine's other whites. The bouquet is really fine, speaking more of the terroir than its grape (100% Aligote). Crystalline purity yet with a little flesh behind. Becomes sharper on the palate but a question of youth. Will develop some greengage character later. Really very smartly made. This will be a great success." – Jasper Morris - Inside Bordeaux - Tasted: Nov. 2022

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2046 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 97 RP Region: Oakville ABV: 15.4%"A selection of the estate's best lots and barrels, Plumpjack's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve spent 19 months in 93% new French oak, yet it seems brighter and fresher than the regular bottling. Cassis leads the way, accented by vanilla and streusel highlights, while the full-bodied palate is expansive, supple and creamy textured, then long and silky on the finish. It's a really strong effort, with ample richness yet no excess weight and a flowing, elegant feel on the palate. Sampled under screw cap." - Joe Czerwinski - Tasted: Feb 27, 2025

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2052 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 WI Region: Oakville ABV: 15.6%"It's brighter and fresher than the regular Estate bottling, with notes of fresh raspberries and cherries joined by cedar and vanilla. Full-bodied in the mouth, it's taut and zesty, its ripe tannins accentuated by bright acidity. Yet to be released, give it a few years to round into form." - Joe Czerwinski - Tasted: Jan 31, 2024

Its herbal edge is enriched with toast. Green spices, acidity and final layers of tropical fruits." – Wine Enthusiast - Tasted: July 2024

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2050 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 99 JA, 98 Falstaff, 98 VV Region: Bolgheri ABV: 14.5% "A dark ruby red colour. Quite a memorable nose, lots of juicy fruit, especially cassis and blueberry, with some smokey notes in the background. Fresh and surprisingly juicy on the palate, grippy, with very well- integrated tannins, good tension, lingers well, a bottle that you simply love to empty!" – Falstaff - Tasted: Oct.2022

Offering mountain huckleberry and black raspberry notes on dried herbs. The palate is rich and viscous with incredible underly tension. Pencil lead, anise, crème de cassis and chocolate cake notes all combined on the palate. A joy to consume now, savor this beauty over the next twenty years to come." - Owen Bargreen - Tasted: Nov. 2024

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2050 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 RP Region: Mount Veeder ABV: 14.9% "The Jackson family purchased the Veeder Peak property in 1994, from which the fruit for this Lokoya bottling comes. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder offers up fabulous spice notes, ranging from cinnamon and clove to anise and sage, all layered atop a dark-fruited base of black cherries and cassis. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, yet silky smooth, this is tannic but ripe and polished, balanced and long on the finish. Maybe the strongest of the Lokoya bottlings this year?" – Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate - Tasted: Oct. 2025

Drinking Window: 2018 - 2048 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 99 RP, 95 CT Region: Mount Veeder ABV: 14.4 - 14.9% "The nearly perfect, inky/purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder boasts abundant aromas of blueberry pie, ink, violets, burning embers, and camphor. The staggeringly intense, provocatively complex aromatics are followed by a full-bodied wine with exquisite concentration as well as a stunningly pure texture. One of the most prodigious 2007 Cabernets I tasted, it should provide magical drinking in 5-6 years, and last for three decades or more." – Robert Parker - Tasted: Dec. 2009

Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 91 CT Region: Sonoma Valley ABV: 12.00% "The alluring nose draws you in with red raspberry, peach galette, and passion fruit unfold with hints of orange peel, white flowers, graham cracker, and white truffle. The palate is mouth-filling, both vibrant and opulent, with an exceptionally fine bead and enduring finish. This wine shows its pedigree from our Le Rêve Cuvée, with elegant structure and depth of flavor revealing itself behind the fresh entry." – Winemaker's Tasting Notes

Drinking Window: 2022 - 2040 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 97 WP, 94 JA, 94 JMQ, 94 JL Region: Bordeaux ABV: 13 - 13.5% "This has tension, fresh figs, white peach, liqourice root, mint leaf, lemon verbena, spiced white pear and citrus blossom. Less grip than in cooler vintages, as you would expect, but this has been well handled, with an attractive savory edge, and a bitter fennel character that helps give focus and length." – Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux - Tasted: Jan. 2025

Drinking Window: 2026 - 2036 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 95 JD Region: Howell Mountain ABV: 14.1 - 14.2% "The 2023 W.S. Keyes Vineyard Chardonnay opens with layers of Macintosh apple, pear, and a touch of apricot, with hints of vanilla and freshly baked bread. A well-balanced hit of acidity energizes the palate, driving to a refreshing finish." – Chris Carpenter - Wine Maker
