98 Sucklingpunkte für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2018 Napa ValleyJames Suckling am 05.01.2021

Gorgeous aromas of currants, blackberries, sweet tobacco and violets follow through to a full body with round, finely chewy tannins and a gorgeous finish of fruit, iodine and graphite. But always pretty fruit there. 76% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot and 11% cabernet franc. Better after 2024
 

95 Puntke vom Wine Advocate für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2018 Napa ValleyLisa Perrotti Brown 04.02.2021

Peter Michael’s Au Paradis vineyard is composed of the red, rocky, volcanic soils common to parts of Pritchard Hill, which makes sense since it is located in Oakville foothills, below Continuum and above Dalla Valle. Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis sashays out of the glass with gorgeous notes of kirsch, cassis and redcurrant jelly, plus suggestions of garrigue, clove oil, lavender and spearmint with a touch of cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with bright, crunchy black fruit flavors, lifted by herbal and red fruit sparks and textured with firm, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. 2,171 cases were made.
 

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2018 Napa ValleyJeb Dunnuck am 22.07.2021

Coming from Oakville, the 2018 Au Paradis gives up a deep ruby/purple hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, green tobacco, lead pencil, sandalwood, and dried flowers. Flawlessly balanced, full-bodied, with silky yet present tannins, it's one of those elegant, seamless wines that surprise you with its richness and depth. It reminds me of a great vintage from Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou and is a brilliant, elegant, complex Cabernet that will evolve for two decades or more.

Love the sweet berries, black olives, tile and fresh herbs on the nose with floral undertones. Oyster shell, too. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins that are beautifully polished and refined. Very long finish. All about finesse and wonderful length. 68% cabernet sauvignon, 19% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 3% petit verdot. Drink after 2023
 

96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Peter Michael Les Pavots 2018 Sonoma CountyLisa Perrotti Brown 04.02.2021

Located in Knights Valley, Sonoma, the Les Pavots vineyard is located in the oldest of the estate-owned sites, planted in 1989. It is situated at 1,000-1,400 feet and is quite steep in areas. Composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Les Pavots is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a fair bit of coaxing to unlock the intense scents of blackcurrant preserves, ripe black plums and boysenberries with touches of wild sage, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is densely packed and tightly wound with loads of black fruits, dried herbs and earthy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and energetic. 3,255 cases were made.
 

97 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Peter Michael Les Pavots 2018 Sonoma CountyJeb Dunnuck am 22.07.2021

More minerality, graphite, and scorched earth notes emerge from the 2018 Les Pavots. Full-bodied and uber-concentrated, it reveals building tannins, awesome mid-palate depth, and one heck of a great finish. It's a serious, powerful, blockbuster beauty that also holds onto perfect balance and a beautiful sense of elegance. It will keep for two decades or more.

99 Sucklingpunkte für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2019 Napa ValleyJames Suckling am 10.12.2021

Aromas of spice, ink, blackberries and currants. Very aromatic! Full-bodied, yet so tight and fresh with firm, velvety tannins. The beautiful center-palate of fruit is so enticing and the finish goes on for minutes. Coolness at the end with blue fruit. Stunning really. Give it time, if you can keep your hands off it. 76% cabernet sauvignon, 16% cabernet franc, and 8% merlot. Best after 2025.
 

96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2019 Napa ValleyLisa Perrotti Brown 31.05.2022

In 2009, Peter Michael purchased the former Showket Vineyard in Oakville, on the hillside below Continuum and above Dalla Valle. That is the source for the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot. Matured in 60% new French oak, it's a fairly forward, opulent wine, marked by scents of cigar box, tobacco, cassis, cherries and fine leather. Full-bodied, rich and velvety without being chocolaty or overdone, the lingering finish is—texturally—plush winter-weight flannel pajamas interwoven with complex, faintly herbal threads.
 

97 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Peter Michael Au Paradis 2019 Napa ValleyJeb Dunnuck am 08.02.2022

Hailing from Oakville, the 2019 Au Paradis is nuanced, with ripe redcurrant, fresh tobacco, and sweet baking spice. The palate is fully dry and has lift through its dark fruited profile. The midpalate is flush with roses and ripe red plum, giving way to a well-balanced, tannic structure. Drink 2024-2044.

Champagne Larmandier-Bernier Les Chemins d Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut 2014
96
 BIO 
Zarte florale Aromen und eine einzigartige mineralische Dichte

Dieser großartige Champagner stammt ausschließlich von zwei Grand Cru-Lagen im Herzen des Dorfes Avize an den Orten "Chemin de Plivot" und "Chemin de Flavigny". Der Boden ist hier sehr karg und enorm kreidehaltig. Die 50 Jahre alten Rebstöcke können dadurch, und in Verbindung mit ihrem Alter, markant mineralische und zart florale Aromen in den Beeren einlagern. Um diese feingliedrige Stilistik zu erhalten, wird nur ganz schonend abgepresst. Nach der alkoholischen Gärung mit den bei Larmandier-Bernier obligatorischen einheimischen Hefestämmen und der Malo erfolgt eine Reifung auf der Feinhefe für mindestens 5 Jahre. Die Dosage beträgt nur 2 g/l.

Die Aromen erinnern bei ihm an gelben Apfel, Zitrus und exotische Früchte wie Feigen, reife Ananas und kandierte Rosinen. Auf der Gewürzebene entdeckt man beim zweiten Schnuppern dann auch Eindrücke von Zimt, Muskat und etwas weiße Schokolade. Am Gaumen entfalten sich ob des langen Hefekontakts und der naturnahen Vinifizierung beeindruckend lebhafte aber zugleich auch feingliedrige Noten. So entfacht der 'Les Chemins d'Avize' einerseits eine markante Säurestruktur, federt das aber wiederum auch sehr schön mit seiner feincremigen Textur ab. Auch hier wechseln sich die einzelnen Frucht- und Gewürzeindrücke angenehm ab und lassen das Genusserlebnis endlos lange und fein ausklingen.

Zum 2012er Champagne Larmandier-Bernier Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chemins d'Avize notierte James Suckling im September 2019: 95 Punkte - "eine sehr reiche Nase mit intensiven gelben Pfirsichen und Zitrusfrüchten, die außergewöhnliche Reife und einige exotische Nuancen zeigen. Am Gaumen ist er verführerisch und rund, sehr ausdrucksstark und mit einer geschmeidigen, weichen und pastetenartigen Textur. Im Abgang Zitronencreme und Kuchenkruste." Und William Kelley meint Folgendes zum Jahrgang 2013:

 
Larmandier-Bernier 2013 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chemins d'Avize mit 96 Punkten vom Wine AdvocateWilliam Kelley bewertet den Champagne Larmandier-Bernier Les Chemins d Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut 2013 am 30. April 2019:

Disgorged in October 2019, Larmandier-Bernier's 2013 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chemins d'Avize is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with a lovely nose of citrus oil, fresh apricot, peach and pear, complemented by hints of fresh walnuts and almond paste. Full-bodied, deep and vinous, it's layered and elegantly muscular, with a concentrated core of ripe fruit, racy acids and a long, mineral finish. Pierre Larmandier invariably excels in cool, late growing seasons, so the 2013 vintage was perfectly adapted to his talents.

Beschreibung für den Dominus 2013

Dominus 2013 captures the deep character of the Napanook Vineyard. and unfolds with magnificent dimension. Blue and purple fruit. violets and earth unite in a wine whose
aging potential is unlimited.
“In Napa. the 2013 vintage is. for me. the vintage of a lifetime.” - Christian Moueix

2 0 1 3 D O M I N U S Napa Valley
2013 was characterized by a very dry spring and a consistently warm summer/early fall. Only 6.4 inches of rainfall were recorded from January to June (versus 17.7 inches average).
Low reserves of soil water limited vine growth. While average temperatures remained warm throughout spring and summer. no heat spikes were recorded in July. August or September.
In terms of thermal time (growing degree days). the season was 18 days ahead of the norm at the beginning of harvest (September 10).
Blend:
Cabernet Sauvignon: 89%. Petit Verdot: 7%. Cabernet Franc: 4%
 

100 Punkte Vinous für den Dominus Estate 2013 Domius Napa Valley Christian MoueixAntonio Galloni für Vinous im Oktober 2015: 

The 2013 Dominus overwhelms all the senses with its magnificent overall balance and towering intensity. Deep and nearly impenetrable in the glass. the 2013 boasts off the charts dry extract and overall power. Violets. smoke. black cherries. menthol. incense. crème de cassis and dark spices are some of the many signatures that take shape in the glass. Even better in bottle than it was in barrel. the 2013 is utterly magnificent. This is a remarkably vivid. nuanced wine considering its sheer size.
 

Dominus 2013 mit 100 Punkten bei James SucklingJames Suckling beschreibt ihn am 13. September 2016 wie folgt:

The aromas to this are multidimensional and fascinating with black truffles. bark. cloves. black currants. citrus. and even ginseng. Full-bodied. yet reserved and austere with chewy and powerful tannins that remain polished and refined. The flavors are more umami and savory. Then there are forest fruits and blood-orange undertones. The wine goes on for minutes. A wine to age for a lifetime. It's an experience to taste this. A new classic showing its history and tradition as a source of the greatest wines ever from Napa. A wine to enjoy forever.
 

Dominus 2013 Napa Valley mit 100 Parker PunktenRobert M. Parker Jr. 30. Oktober 2015:

The 2013 Dominus is. to my way of thinking. one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history. both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine. with very low yields of only 3.500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon. 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. offers up notes of cedar wood. forest floor. loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color. super-pure and intense. this wine has low acidity. but ripe. noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. Drink it over the next 40+ years.

Dominus 2014 mit 98 Punkten bei James SucklingJames Suckling beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 am 27. Januar 2017:

Fabulous purity and clarity of fruit. Black currants, blackberries and violets. Full body, big soft tannins and a chocolate, hazelnut and dark fruit character. Some hot stones too. Ripe, velvety and fruity finish. Better in 2020 but delicious to drink now. Wonderful Dominus.

 
Dominus 2014 mit 97 Parker Punkten ausgezeichnetRobert M. Parker Jr. beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 im Oktober 2016:

The 2014s. where the production of Napanook was only 2.200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4.000 cases. was another early harvest. although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus. which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon. 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix’s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.


96+ Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Dominus 2014 Dominus Estate Napa ValleyThe 2014 Dominus is endowed with tons of depth, power and muscle. Black cherry, plum, smoke, menthol, licorice, chocolate, dried herbs and dark spices are all pushed forward. Deep, pliant and exquisitely layered, the 2014 possesses tons of concentration and mid-palate depth. Like so many wines in this vintage, the 2014 comes across as a hybrid of 2013 and 2012. I very much like the energy and focus in this wine. This is a fabulous wine in every way. With time in the glass, the flavors gain in brightness and focus. There is certainly much to look forward to.

Kumeu River 2022 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay

Im Jahr 1990 überarbeitete Maté Brajkovich das Land und pflanzte einen neuen Weinberg mit Chardonnay-Reben an der Stelle des ursprünglichen Weinbergs, den er und seine Familie im März 1944 erworben hatten. Die ersten Trauben aus diesem Weinberg wurden im März 1993 geerntet, dem Jahr nach dem Tod von Maté. Der daraus resultierende Wein wurde im November 1994 anlässlich der Feierlichkeiten zum fünfzigsten Jahrestag der Ankunft der Familie Brajkovich am Kumeu River veröffentlicht.

 
98 Sucklingpunkte für denTop-Bewertung von James Suckling (8. November 2023):
 
Gorgeous precise aromas of apples, white peaches, some minerals, flint and stone. Subtle mangoes, too. Full-bodied but so intense and driven with a salty undertone and a driving finish. Some white pepper at the end with citrus skin. Focused and intense. Great finish. Better after 2026 but already fantastic. Drink or hold. Screw cap.



96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Erin Larkin schreibt für Robert Parker im September 2023:

The nose on this 2022 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay leads with candied bananas, pineapple husk, white peach and a hint of lychee, and the edges of the aromatics are feathered with preserved citrus, brine, curry leaf and apple skins. In the mouth, the wine is powered by supercharged fruit; it is crystalline in its way, an attribute that I have long-since associated with the Chardonnays from Kumeu River. The flavor is sapid and palate-staining, with just enough salt and savory spices in the fruit to make it super complex as well as powerful. It is precisely folded like origami, each crease in service of the overall shape.* A wine that offers much and assumes nothing. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
