James Suckling (97)Such a flinty nose that delivers a full package of minerality. Quarry, chalk, gun powder and lime. The nose really speaks to you. Creamy and textured on the palate with bright but chiselled acidity and real tension. One of the best Mainque’s ever? Chacra’s answer to fine Chablis. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2014 Cincuenta y Cinco feels very complete even at this early stage with good concentration, ripeness and balance. It combines the elegance of the 2013 with the exuberance of 2011. Since 2011 they went for a light toast of the barrels and also started using larger volume, 600-liter formats. The oak feels perfectly integrated in the wine. In the context this is more powerful, and has a little more concentration and ripeness, but it's still a very balanced and fresh. Different to 2013, but at the same high-quality level. 19,000 bottles produced. |

Wine Advocate (99)The élevage for the 2021 Cincuenta y Cinco was different from the past; they have now aged 40% in concrete tanks (it used to be 25%), 40% in French oak barrels and 20% in clay amphorae for nine months. They use cover crops in the vineyard, where they don't even use sulfur or copper. It fermented in a round and wide concrete vat with indigenous yeasts for 12 to 15 days with full clusters and an infusion with little extraction. It has moderate ripeness and 12% alcohol, with more tension than the others. This is basically the same wine as the Sin Azufre but with a little more oak, which is barely noticeable but with some spiciness and Burgundian character developing tantalizing notes of violet pastille with time in the glass. It has a bright ruby color and a complex and subtle nose full of elegance and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied, with very fine tannins and supple flavors, primary, young and apparently weightless and ethereal but full of inner energy. It has bright flavors of fresh cherries and raspberries and a citrus twist of orange peel that adds freshness. Gobsmacking! 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. |

James Suckling (96)Fresh and floral nose with tiles, vibrant red berries and pomegranate. Stony, mineral verve. Pure and expressive with good tension on the medium-bodied palate. Silky, very nimble and elegant. Acidic red berries in the finish that cleanse the palate. So much drinkability. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes. |

James Suckling (98)Red cherries, strawberries, spiced plums, violets, cloves, dried herbs, undergrowth and a touch of smoke on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Firm, mineral and tea-like tannin quality. Very focused and structured. Needs time. Try after 2025. From biodynamically grown grapes. |

James Suckling (97)Pomegranate, wild herbs and lots of fresh raspberries to the nose. Subtle, pure and tense with a fine austerity to the center-palate. Refined and medium-bodied on the palate. Nothing conspicuous here. Intense but slim and everything is well-hidden. Drink now or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes. |

Encompassing centuries of savoir-faire, the exemplary 'Chandon Garden Spritz NV' is a sparkling wine hailing from the renowned house of Moët & Chandon. This exquisite potable stands out with its unique blend of hand-crafted sparkling wine and a maceration of locally sourced bitter orange, herbs, and spices. Crafted in the verdant vineyards nestled in six of the world's choicest wine-making regions, each sip offers a symphony of the finest flavours. Setting it apart is the méthode traditionnelle - a two-century-old method where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, magnifying its complex nuances. Chandon Garden Spritz NV presents a hypnotic amber hue, dancing with a vibrant effervescence, and an aromatic journey of citrus orange, coupled with subtle spice notes. On the palate, it offers a delicious contradiction of rich bitterness softened by a bubbly zest. Carefully crafted, this sophisticated blend strikes an extraordinary balance of taste, encapsulating the exceptional craftsmanship of Moët & Chandon in every glass. |

Jeb Dunnuck (94)Rocking levels of stone fruits, honeysuckle, toasted spices, and brioche-like notes all emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Los Alamos Vineyard, a medium-bodied, forward, supple Chardonay that shines for its purity and balance. As with most 2022s, it has a soft, forward style that just begs to be drunk. It should keep for 4-6 years. |

Jeb Dunnuck (94)The 2022 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard comes from a site near the Alisos Canyon AVA and was 90% destemmed and spent 18 months in 15% new French oak, with the balance in neutral oak. It has a vivid ruby hue as well as a great nose of bright red cherries, candied violets, sandalwood, and dried flowers. This carries to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with a supple, elegant mouthfeel, nicely checked acidity, and a charming style. It shows the more forward, delicate style of the vintage yet brings considerable density and depth, and it’s beautifully done. |

Vinous (95)The 2022 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is bright, aromatic and penetrating, with terrific cut that drives right through the mid-palate and finish. Lemon confit, slate, crushed flowers and white pepper all race through the mouth. This taut, expressive Chardonnay has so much to offer. Gavin Chanin certainly got the most out of his fruit from I and L Blocks. |

Wine Advocate (95+)The most fragrant and multidimensional wine of the range, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is floral, oceanic, mossy and graceful on the nose. The palate straddles lavish decadence with silky refinement, perfectly displaying how this vineyard doesn't show all its cards at once, ceaselessly gaining in amplitude and volume but never weight. The finish combines delicious richness, bracing acidity and admirable focus. A beautiful showing of a classic site in a challenging year, this should be a pleasure to follow over the next decade. |

Wine Advocate (93)As with the Chardonnay bottling, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard falls in the stylistic center of the Chanin Pinot Noir roster. It leads with elegant and reserved aromas of dried flowers, dark spices and oolong tea leaves. The palate offers the most velvety concentration of the Chanin Pinot Noirs, leading to a rich yet energetic finish framed with subtly drying tannins and increasing tension with time in the glass. |

Vinous (96)A deep, inky wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill exudes richness and concentration. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, graphite, mocha, smoke and spices meld together as this ample, structured Cabernet Sauvignon shows off its personality. The Pritchard Hill is made in a ripe, concentrated style that is quite typical of the vintage. At the same time, the impact of heavier extractions and more new oak also shapes the wine to a significant degree. I am not sure the Pritchard Hill is meaningfully more complex than the Signature, but it is quite striking just the same. As good as the 2013 is today - and it is terrific - my sense is that it would be even better with less oak influence. This is an especially somber, virile Cabernet Sauvignon from Chappellet. |

North America is somewhat difficult to pigeonhole – though technically ‘new world’, it is In the Northern Hemisphere, and the wines have the same devoted fan base (and often first-growth prices) as many classic European wines. Cooler climate Cabs, Merlots, Pinots, Chardonnays and Rieslings with old-world structure can all be found, though if anything is lacking by comparison it is consistency.
South America is an exciting new melting pot of styles and flavours with a range of soils types and altitudes – taking international varietals and finishing with French winemaking techniques, or in the case of Argentinian Malbec, adopting a largely unloved grape and making it their own.
