NAM-1159. 19 MURRIETA'S WELL LIVERMORE VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC    (94/100)

Tasting Panel 94: 'Louis Mel, the estate vineyard that provides this charmer of a Sauvignon Blanc, harbors descendants of the original Chateau Yquem cuttings planted by the site's namesake in the late 1800s. Its well-drained, gravelly soils yield an exquisite 76% Sauvignon Blanc with Malvasia Bianca, Muscat Canelli, Chardonnay, and Viognier. Notes of tangerine and honeysuckle appear on the nose and palate, the latter of which is voluptuous on the front end before salinity arises midway, surrounded by green apple with a touch of white pear; it lingers within a wave of minerality. $19.'

SAM-1273. 18 BODEGA COLOME AUTENTICO CALCHAGUI VALLEY MALBEC    (93/100)

Tasting Panel 94; Vinous 93: 'Bright ruby. Pungent, high-toned aromas of blackberry, minerals and licorice. Thick and mouthfilling but leavened by terrific penetrating acidity. The dark berry, wild herb, licorice and chalky mineral flavors are complemented by a chocolatey ripeness. Sweet, plush tannins saturate the entire palate, with the finish displaying explosive length. Very strong, very pure and very smooth; expressive and unique. The Davalos family, owners of Bodega Tacuil, also owned Colome before selling the property to Donald Hess in 2001. (this wine, made without any oak contact, represents a tribute to the old RD bottling of Bodega Tacuil). Drink now-2028.'

Wine Enthusiast 93: 'A generously ripe touch of apricot hovers before blending in with ripe Amalfi lemon and Granny Smith notes. Brightness and light seem to be at the core of this wine. The mousse is exuberant and flavors are brisk and urgent. Subtle autolysis provides a calm backdrop to all the lively, fruity action in the foreground. The balance is harmonious and flavors are brisk, fruity and pure The long-lasting finish conveys seriousness. Lovely now, the wine will evolve with bottle age. Drink now-2022.'
