K Vintners

2015 Substance (K Vintners) "Powerline Vineyard" Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Sauvignon
Reg $49.99 Sale $39.97 (4cs only!)
95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Wafting from the glass with notes of rich red and black fruits, cigar tobacco, petroleum jelly and spice, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Powerline Vineyard is the richest, most lavish and velvety bottling in the Wines of Substance portfolio, cutting a broad swath across the palate. Full-bodied, ample and generous, it boasts plenty of savory complexity and concludes with a dry, saline finish. Dramatic and characterful, it's immensely appealing. Sadly, at 239 cases, it's the smallest of all these cuvées too. (WK) (6/2018)
94 points Jeb Dunnuck Coming from mostly 169 and 2 clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Powerline Vineyard offers a deep ruby color as well as complex notes of ripe black cherries, currants, leafy herbs, and tapenade. It's rich, full-bodied, silky, and seamless, with fine, polished tannin and a great finish. Drink this complex, elegant, singular Cabernet over the coming decade or more. In an attempt to simplify the K Vintners lineup, Charles Smith created the Wines of Substance label in 2017 and moved all of the Bordeaux varieties under this umbrella. As with the K Vintners wines, these are terrific wines that more than over deliver at their price point. All of the wines see small batch fermentations, native yeast, aging in barrel, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. (4/2018)

2014 Substance (K Vintners) "Powerline Vineyard" Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Sauvignon
Reg $49.99 Sale $39.97 (2.5cs only!)
94-96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The new 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Powerline is a new cuvee based around a vineyard in the southern part of Walla Walla. Harvested from tiny yields and aged in mostly neutral barrels, this full-bodied, luxuriously textured, seamless beauty gives up lots of classic Cabernet notes of creme de cassis, licorice, toasted spice and graphite. There's an undeniably sexy style here, and while it will certainly be approachable on release, my money's on it evolving gracefully for 15-20 years. These latest releases from Charles Smith check in at the top of the pyramid and are flat out incredible wines that I wish every reader could taste. Readers should also check out the new label, Wines of Substance, which are also included in this report. Going forward, the K Vintners label will be for the Rhone inspired blends, and all Bordeaux blends will be moved to the Wines of Substance label. (JD) (6/2016)

2015 K Vintners "The Beautiful - Powerline Vineyard" Walla Walla Valley Syrah
Reg $54.95 Sale $49.97 (1.5cs only)
98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Co-fermented with 3% Viognier, the 2015 Syrah The Beautiful is fabulous, bursting from the glass with exotic aromas of violets, blackberries, panforte, black olives and lychee nuts (fanciful though that mélange sounds). On the palate, it's full-bodied, velvety and lavishly textural, cutting a broad swath across the palate, with a deep core of dark fruit and pungent savory nuance, concluding with a fine-grained, mouthwateringly sapid finish. It's a compelling Syrah that brooks no argument. (WK) (6/2018)
97 points Jeb Dunnuck Co-fermented with 4% Viognier, the 2015 Syrah The Beautiful Powerline Vineyard was fermented with plenty of stems and brought up mostly in neutral oak. Candied violets, game, blackcurrants, and incense notes all emerge from this beautiful, seamless beauty. It has a rich, full-bodied profile on the palate as well as a great mid-palate, fine tannin, and nicely integrated acidity. This is another singular, layered, silky beauty from this team. Keep in mind, this comes from very young vines, so I suspect the best is yet to come here, which is saying something at this quality level. One of the highlight tastings I do in Washington State is unquestionably with Charles Smith and Brennon Leighton, who together produce a sensational lineup of Rhône and Bordeaux blends, as well as a seriously good Tempranillo and Sangiovese. The majority of the Cabernet Sauvignon dominated cuvees have been moved from the K Vintners label to the Wine of Substance label, which are also reviewed in this report. All the Rhône blends are not destemmed, see native ferments, and are aged mostly in used French oak. These are the real deal and are brilliant wines. (4/2018)

2015 K Vintners "The Deal - Sundance Vineyard" Wahluke Slope Syrah
Reg $39.99 Sale $34.97 (1.5cs Only!)
95 points Jeb Dunnuck All from the Sundance Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, the 2015 Syrah The Deal (100% Syrah, not destemmed and aged in 30% new puncheons) offers smoking notes of red and black fruits, black olive, smoked earth and a huge meatiness. Full-bodied, silky and seamless, with a rock, mineral, backward style. (4/2018)
93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The most reticent and reserved of these Syrah bottlings, the 2015 Syrah The Deal Sundance Vineyard opens in the glass with notes of sweet red berries, potpourri and tapenade. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy, with an assertive chassis of structuring tannins. It will need more time than usual to round out and open up in this vintage. 93+ (WK) (6/2018)

2017 Tre Monti Albana di Romagna Anfora Vitalba Reg $39.99 Sale $34.97
(2015 Tre Monte albana di romagna anfora vitalba – wine enthusiast – 94 points)
Fermented in clay amphora, this fascinating orange wine opens with alluring aromas of dried yellow stone fruit, baking spice, aromatic herb, pressed yellow flower and a balsamic note. Boasting more fruit and flavor than many other wines in this genre, the savory enveloping palate presents apricot, yellow peach, candied nectarine zest, crystallized ginger and a hint of flinty mineral. Tangy acidity provides balance and lift while a honeyed note closes the lingering finish. Simply gorgeous.

2015 Tre Monti “Thea” Sangiovese di Romagna Reg $31.99 Sale $27.97
The Sangiovese Riserva "Thea" by Tre Monti is undoubtedly the flagship wine of the cellar romagnola, the wine most beloved and dedicated to his mother Thea. We are in the heart of the hills of Imola and Forlì, on which the vineyards are cultivated according to the fascinating method of "integrated pest management", which involves the grassing between the rows, combined with the influence of the phases of the moon, a classic of the biodynamic philosophy. In the valley where flows the Rio Sanguinario, the climate is characterized by decided thermal excursions in the night that favor the formation and the development of fragrances and freshness and the terroir is made even more beautiful and sweet and amazing views that the farm Petrignone, where does the Sangiovese Riserva "Thea" borns. The Sangiovese Riserva "Thea" is the heart of the wine of the Tre Monti, the wine reminiscent of today's past, the traditions, the beginning of a story full of charm and passion. Remember mother Thea and borns in the homonymous vineyard, located in the farm Petrignone; was born on a soil with clayey and sandy bottom and after a maceration of 12 days with malolactic fermentation, is left to age in new allier barrels for nine months. And here that its already elegant bouquet of red fruit evolves and develops with notes of pepper and licorice; it is here that grows in intensity and softness, becoming probably the Sangiovese di Romagna more appreciated by fans. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

2015 Tre Monti “Petrignone” Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore Riserva Reg $22.99 Sale $19.97
Sangiovese "Petrignone" Tre Monti is a clean and elegant wine, with a full and dynamic body and a closing pleasantly cool. The Sangiovese grape is the most important asset of the winery. The family Navacchia dedicated to viticulture since the early seventies, when Sergio decided its investment in this area. Today we are his sons, Vittorio and David, took over the business. The grapes that give life to this Petrignone "Sangiovese" are grown in Petrignone, about 200 meters above sea level, facing south and raised to cordon; enjoy a soil composed of clay evolved with a high percentage of sand and pebbles in outcrop. All the vineyards are cultivated according to the methods of integrated pest management, which involves the grassing between the rows and the minimum use of chemicals. Moreover, in recent years, surprising results have been achieved through the consideration of the influence of the moon phases, a basic principle of biodynamics. The Sangiovese "Petrignone" is really a classic of Tre Monti winery, in which the best selections of Sangiovese are cleverly combined with a well-balanced use of wood and never intrusive.ColourBright ruby red ScentIntense notes of cherry fruit and fleshy, with pleasant spicy hints of black pepper Taste Elegant and soft, warm and enveloping, with excellent persistence

Bevan Cellars

Ok! We are down to less than a case on Napa’s most sought after!
2012 Bevan Cellars Sugarloaf Wildfoote Vineyard ($299.97) (9btls only)
97 WS A remarkably seductive effort, delightfully creamy and chocolaty, plush and layered, with a firm, rich, potent core of dense, earth-laced currant and blackberry flavors. Firm cedary oak is evident, gliding along gracefully on the finish. Drink now through 2029.

2015 Bevan Cellars Sugarloaf Proprietary Red ($219.97) (9btls only)
100 pts JD Another perfect wine from Bevan is the 2015 Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Proprietary Red Wine, a Cheval Blanc-like blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot brought up all in French oak. This huge, full-bodied, opulent 2015 carries itself like a ballerina - elegant, weightless and even graceful, with remarkable purity of fruit. Currants, blueberries, liquid violets, Asian spices and a distinct minerality all emerge from the glass and it has both incredible complexity and richness. Bravo!
98+ RP Deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard offers up a compelling earthy/savory nose of tree bark, tilled soil and black truffles over a core of blackberries, black cherries and black currants with touches of clove, sage and cedar chest. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the firm, ripe, grainy tannins and lively acid superbly support the generous, muscular fruit, finishing long and multilayered. 325 cases produced.

2016 Bevan Cellars Oakville EE Tench Red Wine ($219.97) (9btls only)
From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate (98-100) pts Composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot, the 2016 Proprietary Red EE Tench Vineyard reveals a deep garnet-purple color and reticent nose of crushed black and red cherries, mulberries with wafts of dried herbs, lavender and fresh roses plus hints of pencil shavings and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, very fine and very fresh in the mouth, it has drop dead gorgeous poise and sophistication with a long, graceful finish that cannot fail to impress.

2016 Bevan Cellars Oakville Tench Vine Cabernet Sauvignon ($219.97), $2599.99/12 (8btls only)
From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 97-100 Points : “2016 Proprietary Red EE Tench Vineyard reveals a deep garnet-purple color and reticent nose of crushed black and red cherries, mulberries with wafts of dried herbs, lavender and fresh roses plus hints of pencil shavings and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, very fine and very fresh in the mouth, it has drop dead gorgeous poise and sophistication with a long, graceful finish that cannot fail to impress.”

2016 Bevan Cellars Napa Valley Ontogeny Red Wine ($119.97), (20btls only)
Have you ever had a wine so stunningly brilliant that it made you question the theory that taste is subjective? I can’t fathom anybody not getting that feeling when they taste Bevan‘s 2016 Ontogeny. This is Bevan‘s least expensive of his big reds and the 2016 has a larger percentage of Cabernet than ever before. I generally try not to predict the potential for a perfect score, however that was before I tasted Bevan‘s Ontogeny… I strongly recommend grabbing as much as you can, before the scores are out. His 2012 Ontogeny scored 99 points from Robert Parker and the 2016 is at a new level…Accumulating perfect 100 point scores at a record pace, Russell Bevan clearly has a Midas touch in winemaking. His Ontogeny Proprietary Red combines four of the top five Bordeaux Varietals, grown in several of his top vineyard sites. The wine is kept in a variety of high-end oak barrels and the 2016 is showing so much potential right now that it has to be experienced to fathom how good is. There truly aren’t enough superlatives to describe this one…
Russell’s Notes: . It also has a layer of richness that the previous Ontogeny wines didn’t have. The fruit “Ontogeny. Like our EE, this is more Cabernet Sauvignon than ever before. Less mineral, more pure fruit profile from the additional Cabernet Sauvignon is blackberry, boysenberry and there is a hint of mocha that really pops on the finish. Deep purple, incredibly seductive. This is as decadent as Ontogeny has ever been.”The 2015 Ontogeny received a 96 Pt Robert Parker rating: “Composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Ontogeny Proprietary Red Wine gives a gorgeous nose of spice box, violets and mocha with a core of crème de cassis, ripe plums and black cherries plus a touch of underbrush. Full-bodied, ripe and expressive, it is beautifully open for business right now with a soft, approachable texture and a long, spicy finish.”This plush, superripe, spicy, chocolaty red is required drinking for Napa Valley hedonists. Wait for the score at your peril!

Barrell

Barrell Bourbon 012 Reg $99.99 Sale $79.97
Vital Stats: 9 years old, 108.5 proof, distilled in Tennessee. 70% corn, 25% rye, 5% malted barley.
Appearance: A medium, somewhat brassy amber.
Nose: A warm prickle greets the nose. There’s vanilla, cherry, banana bread, cornbread, and a bit of dill. It’s somewhat brandy-like, with soft oak, a sweetness that tends more towards honey than caramel, and chalk. Water mutes the corn and fruit, leaving the scent a little one-dimensional.
Palate: Gentle at first, the amplitude builds over time. There’s lots of spice here, more in the realm of black pepper and chili than holiday spice, as well as an interesting fruity acidity. This is a pretty dry bourbon, with a good dollop of oak and salt to cut any sweetness. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a chalky, vitamin-like aspect. I love the proof: full-flavored, but not unpleasantly hot. The addition of a little water cuts the tannin and brings out some rounded vanilla and coconut tones.

Barrell Whiskey Batch 1 122.5 Proof Reg $69.99 Sale $59.97
Coming in at $60 for a NDP whiskey aged in used bourbon barrels, this certainly isn’t an inexpensive whiskey. You’re getting a blended whiskey from an undisclosed source that looks like it was aged for a few months let alone the 7-8 years it actually spent in the barrel. That being said, there also aren’t that many unique tasting barrel proof whiskeys on the market that offer a manageable amount of low heat along with an approachable flavor profile. Don’t let its incredibly light color fool you, Barrell Whiskey Batch 001 delivers a delicious palate and well rounded finish that will delight your taste buds.
What Barrell Whiskey does deliver is a unique whiskey alternative to the likes of similarly priced barrel proof bourbons. It’s an approachable whiskey that most high proof lovers will enjoy and delivers just enough discerning flavor elements to hold people’s interest while they contemplate what they’re drinking. This is a good first attempt by Barrell Craft Spirits into non-bourbon whiskey, and sets a nice base for them to build off of in the future.

Barrell Rye Whiskey Reg $99.99 Sale $79.97
Barrell brings a solid entrant to the rye whiskey space, offering balance, quality, and a unique flavor profile with their very first batch of rye whiskey. Barrell has continued to impress me time after time, and this is no exception. While I’m less wowed than I’ve been compared to some of Barrell’s excellent past releases, taking a step back puts this release into perspective. Based on what Barrell has done with their barrel proof bourbons, whiskeys, and even their rum so far, I had hopes of Barrell delivering one of the better ryes I’ve had with this batch. I believe they can do it based on their track record, but realize that placing the target so high for their very first batch of rye was a bit unrealistic on my part. Batch 001 builds off familiar flavors, but offers an end result that tastes different than anything I’ve had. It’s a win for Barrell, and I’m looking forward to the next rye they have to offer.

2016 Ports are incredibly approachable and seductive!

2016 Quinta do Vesuvio • Vintage Port
Reg Price $109.99 Sale Price $79.97 $449.97/6 (4 only 6pks)
96 Points Wine Advocate! $115.00 The 2016 Vintage Port is a blend of 43% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca and 17% Alicante Bouschet, with Tinta Amarela and Sousão filling out the rest. It comes in with 115 grams of residual sugar. If this Quinta has a hallmark to me, it is the expressive, gorgeous fruit. It has a seductive feel, but it is also muscular and intense. It is one of the most muscular in the Symington stable this year, with the concentration to soak up the power. I'd give this the nod for the moment over the 2015, but they are pretty close, granting that I do not have them side by side. They may wind up in more or less the same place overall in the long run. We'll see. That said, this seems superb. Bottled in May 2018 and to be released in October 2018, there were 1,220 cases produced

Simply one of the best Dow’s ever made. Neil Martin
2016 Dow's Vintage Port (375ml)
Reg Price $64.99 Sale Price $54.97
98 points Vinous The 2016 Dow’s Vintage Port is based around the Vinha dos Ecos vineyard behind Bomfim, populated predominantly by mature Touriga Franca vines that were cropped at just 0.68kg per vine. It has a quite astonishing bouquet with layer upon layer of intense black cherry and cassis fruit, touches of clove, leather and a hint of over-ripe Satsuma. This is a mercurial bouquet that keeps changing in the glass, revealing smoky/burning ember scents with time. The palate is quite magnificent – perfectly balanced with a killer thread of acidity slicing through such pure intense black fruit that there is no heaviness at all. There is a sense of thrust on the finish as it fans out with almost careless abandon, a Vintage Port so self-assured that you can only sit back in amazement. Simply one of the best Dow’s ever made. (NM) (6/2018)
19/20***** Based on Touriga Franca, followed by Touriga Nacional and Sousão from Quinta do Bomfim at Pinhão and Quinta Senhora da Ribeira in the Douro Superior: fine and focused on the nose, leaner and more restrained in style than either Graham or Quinta do Vesuvio (below) with underlying dusty tannins; rapier like tannins on the palate, ram rod, all the way through with the opulence and flesh of the fruit coming through on the finish. Great purity and expression, the drier style of Dow works well in ripe years like 2016. Outstanding wine for the long term. 5480 cases in total. 19
96 points James Suckling Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and dried flowers plus hints of slate follow through to a full body, very fine tannins and a driven and linear finish. Orange peel and dried fruit. Sleek and racy. Ready to try in 2024. (5/2018)

RP92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Amazingly, there are 125,000 cases of the value-priced 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine offers up classic aromas of crushed cassis, loamy soil and pencil lead.

Considering the scale of this cuvée and the pittance it commands, it's a remarkable achievement.

New! Fresh & Lively!! “2017” Ferrari Carano FUMÉ BLANC
Reg $15.99 “WineStreet Best in class”$12.97
SONOMA COUNTY: One of the first two wines Ferrari‐Carano ever made over 35 years ago, this Fumé Blanc is comprised of Sauvignon Blanc grapes from Sonoma County. This wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc grapes from various appellations in Sonoma County — Dry Creek, Alexander and Russian River Valleys. When the grapes arrive at the winery, each lot is gently crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks for 48 hours of cold settling. The juice is either transferred to stainless steel tanks or older French oak barrels for fermentation. The wine in barrels is sur lie aged and stirred every other week for two months, then blended and bottled.
The 2017 season began with much‐needed record rainfall during the winter months, followed by a mild but rainy spring. A warm summer followed, including a scorching hot Labor Day heat spike and unusual rain in September, before it finally cooled off into fall. The first Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked August 28th and the last grapes on September 28th, making it a very fast harvest, but diligent attention in the vineyards led to the perfect blend of aromas and flavors that we desire in our wines.

What’s not to love about a delicious Pinot Grigio that comes in a really cool bottle? All the grapes used to make this beautiful Pinot come from the highly prized vineyard Terre di Valfredda in Trentino. The palate is crisp and refreshing. We recommend pairing this up with a lively spring salad. Ca’ Montini is a welcome surprise from the innocuous and uninteresting Pinot Grigio often found in the mainstream market. This single vineyard wine is crisp and vibrant with notes of apple and citrus on the nose and palate with nicely balanced fruit and acidity; the perfect Steakhouse white.

D92 Decanter Perhaps the most famous Soave producer, this is the 50th vintage for Nino Pieropan, and is a blend of 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave. The vines are cultivated on clay-basalt volcanic soil, giving flinty aromas on the nose, combined with stone fruit flavours and a long lasting, intense, mineral finish.
TP90 Tasting Panel The Soave from the family’s estate in the Soave Classico zone—and a low ABV of 12%—showcases Nino Pieropan’s 50th vintage and perhaps one of the label’s finest. The aromatics are exceptional, with flint-inspired apricot and lemon curd. The palate is crisp and clean, further enhancing stone fruit and minerality.

Aromas of pear and golden delicious apples mingle with scents of wet stone. all-Chardonnay white Burgundy produced sur-lie in stainless steel. It's very fresh and full, with a clean minerally edge to its lovely citrus-apple flavors. Very versatile for pairing. One to scoop up in quantity!

Founded in 1928 on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa which was one of the most important wine estates in the region, the cellar of Chaintre is one of the oldest in France.

2016 La Posta Fazzio Malbec
Reg $17.99 “WineStreet Best in Class” $12.97
Critical Acclaim 92 pts James Suckling I love the perfume and freshness to this with flower and blackberry undertones. Medium body, fine tannins and an underlying firmness and balance. Drink it! A beautiful reddish purple color. The vibrant nose is of red and black cherries and ripe plums that combine with floral touches of violets and rose petals. It holds a nice tannic structure that is full on the palate. Vanilla, chocolate, and some spice appears to make it more complex.
This is a fruit driven, fresh and well-structured wine that pairs great with meats like prosciutto or hard cheeses. Unique recipe ideas include Smoked Chicken and blueberry Salad with Almonds and Drunken Goat Cheese, Roast Pork Tenderloin with Medjool Date, Olive and Walnut Relish, or Slow-Roasted Salmon with Blood Oranges and Fennel.

Mouthwatering!! 92+ pts! One Shot Deal!
A passion for Riesling was the inspiration for a first ever joint venture
between vintners from Germany and Italy.
2016 Weingut Dr. Fischer Steinbock Riesling
Reg $15.99 “Best in Class” $12.97
In March of 2014, vintner Nik Weis from Weingut St. Urbans-Hof on the Mosel and Martin Foradori Hofstätter from Tenuta J. Hofstätter in Alto Adige grasped the welcome opportunity to launch their project on the Mosel.
Vinous 92pts(04/01/2018) This wine, nicknamed Steinbock, originates in parts of the Bockstein deemed well-suited to neither Grosses Gewchs nor Kabinett. It’s another instance at this estate of a Riesling that signals stoniness on the nose, in this instance accompanied by a whiff of fusel oil as well as by intimations of apple, pear and lime that go on to dominate a glossy, satiny palate. The hint of sweetness is restrained but supportive, adding to the appeal of a buoyant, bell-clear, brightly persistent and infectiously juicy finish to which a mussel-like combination of maritime salinity and meatiness adds mouthwatering savor. (Incidentally, this harbors 9.3 grams acidity: no deficiency here!)
