2012 Bell Wine Cellars Chardonnay Yountville Napa Valley
Brilliant pale gold, with piercing aromas of ripe apple and pear, and a hint of tropical fruit, Bell's 2012 is rich, compact and creamy in texture, packed with apple/honey, laced with new wood vanilla. The finish is textbook Bell -- firm and persistent, arguing eloquently for a half dozen years of cellar slumber.
For those who've been hammering us for coastal Chardonnay bargains, put away your tool kits. $35 at the winery. $18.99/bottle on today's WineAccess exclusive. Just 1200 bottles to spread around -- sorry in advance. read more »
2010 Joseph Phelps Insignia Proprietary Red Wine Napa Valley
Last year, we finally convinced our friends at Phelps to dip their toes in the WineAccess water. We were offered a small salvo of 2006 & 2008 Insignia months after the release dates. Those allocations barely saw the light of day, something that wouldn't go unnoticed in St. Helena.
Director of Winemaking, Damian Parker, says this bottle "will be hitting its stride somewhere around 2018 -- similar to the 2005 which tastes fabulous now just eight years after the vintage. This wine will last 30 plus years!" Today, with the release of one of the most magnificently structured Insignias in twenty years, WineAccess has hit the big time. Today, we come first. read more »
2010 William Knuttel Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
For those of you who got your mitts on Bill Knuttel's single-vineyard, Clone 777 Russian River Pinot Noir in 2007 and 2009, you know all about Foggy Ash's dark ruby color, luscious red berry core, and the fine, bracing backbone provided by those tight-fisted clusters. But neither the superb '07 nor the luscious '09 hold a candle to the magic of this just-released 2010.
The 2010 harvest was even shorter than 2009. Foggy Ash yields were down close to 30% from the norm. WineAccess allocations were trimmed back accordingly. Only 1200 bottles are up for grabs of Bill Knuttel's finest Clone 777 Pinot Noir to date. Release price of $40. Just $19.99. read more »
2012 Solena Estate Pinot Gris Willamette Valley
The 2012 Solena Estate Pinot Gris is pale green-gold in color. Explosive on the nose, featuring ripe melon, white peach and orchard fruits, complicated by white flowers. Wonderfully juicy on the attack, with vibrant golden apple, exotic fruit concentration, gently kissed with just enough sweetness to keep the bracing, mineral finish in perfect balance.
Don't let the price tag fool you. This is rich, zesty, marvelously complex, mineral white -- from a miracle Willamette Valley vintage -- masquerading behind a far too affordable price tag. read more »
Most of the wine world, it seems, views French wine through claret-colored glasses.
