Drinking Window: 2025 - 2032 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 91 CT Region: Burgundy, France ABV: 13.5% "A fruity and expressive nose of good red berries and dark cherries. Fruit-expressive but not a fruit bomb, with restraint and firmness. Attractive now, but can hold well for the next few years." *James Suckling - Tasted: June 2026

Drinking Window: 2025-2037 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 90 WS Region: Piedmont, Italy ABV: 13.5% "A beautiful violet color atypical of Nebbiolo but reflective of the 2021 vintage where fullness and richness are even present to the eye. The wine has bold notes of blackberry, cherry, blood orange, and bergamot with a touch of flintiness. Medium-structured with lots of juiciness and harmony on the palate all lead to well-balanced acidity and tannin structure with a long finish." *Perrine's Wine

Drinking Window: 2025-2033 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 92 CT Region: Napa Valley ABV: 13.9% ** Please email Alan@uncorkedmemories.com or call (210) 844-4559 for special pricing. ** "Cool vintages are something special. While there’s certainly California luster and opulence in the margins, both are tucked away right now, overshadowed by lush pear, lime leaf and orange blossom. The minerality and tension on the palate are simply awesome and the acidity is bright and racy. Wines from these vintages tend to mature slightly more slowly than their warm-vintage cousins, so expect the parade of citrus, green apple and flinty minerals to dominate for the next few years. That said, the mouthfeel is just gorgeous with more gravitas and weight than expected at this time; a very pleasant surprise." "Chateau Montelena’s Napa Valley Chardonnay combines the best of the old world: structure, acidity and grace with modern ripeness and texture. It eschews heavy oak and butter and instead showcases the purity of vintage, vineyard and varietal character. Most notably, the 1973 vintage earned international acclaim when it was named the top Chardonnay at the 1976 “Judgment of Paris”, a historic moment that redefined the global perception of American wine and solidified Chateau Montelena’s legacy on the world stage." * Winery Notes

Drinking Window: 2025-2055 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 DE Region: Napa Valley ABV: 14.8% "Scarecrow’s M. Étain label – French for 'Tin Man' – debuted in 2008. "We wanted to create a companion label to Scarecrow utilizing the younger blocks, or cuts of Clone 337 that were too abundant for the flagship bottling," explains winemaker Celia Welch. The 2022 vintage is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, all sourced from the J.J. Cohn estate in Rutherford, aged for 18 months in 60% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. In 2023, the wine reads as quintessential Rutherford, opening with perfectly ripe boysenberry and cherry before building into classic site signatures of dusty minerality, unsweetened cocoa powder and a hint of bergamot. As Welch notes, there is also a subtle touch of sweet basil—a detail that captures Rutherford’s terroir beautifully, that dusty earth component edged with gentle sweetness. The palate unfolds with impressive density and richness, yet retains lift, carried by blue, black and red fruit and generous cocoa-powder tannins through the expressive finish. Utterly delicious and immediately drinkable, yet firmly structured to evolve gracefully. Farming in 2023 was overseen by Domenick Bianco, formerly of Joseph Phelps Vineyards." * Johnathan Cristaldi, Decanter - Tasted: March 2026
