A dozen varieties make up the majority of the red wines produced. Think Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and, Merlot.

Are travels to Italy, Spain, and, France have seen more Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Nerello Mascelese, Grenache, Carignan, and, Tempranillo red wines being poured into our glasses.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making red wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 2001

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.The 2001 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has astonishing intensity on the nose, perhaps more like a 1999, with copious black cherries, black truffle, juniper berries and eucalyptus. It seems incredibly young even when juxtaposed against Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux from the same vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, quite structured and grippy, backward and rather masculine yet with disarming poise. This Clos-de-Bèze is only just beginning to s
Price on Application – Contact us.The 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is just a tiny bit smudged on the nose, but it rectifies that with aeration, offering disarming brambly red fruit, bergamot and potpourri scents, just a slight ferrous tincture in the background. The palate is fine-boned with pure red fruit, structured and slightly disjointed initially. Yet it coheres magnificently in the glass, so smooth. I was shocked when the vintage was revealed because this bo
Price on Application – Contact us.Good medium red. Strawberry, coffee, rose petal and smoky oak on the nose. Sweet, ripe and plump, with aromatic flavors of plum and spicy oak. Here the nearly 100% new oak percentage (the foregoing wines get little or no new oak) adds considerable sex appeal and nicely frames the wine's rather delicate fruit. Finishes long, subtle and aromatic, with an impression of finer tannins.Neal Martin, Vinous 90 Points Tasted Mar 2004Rousseau's 2001

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 2002

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.Good ruby-red. Black raspberry, licorice and chocolatey oak on the nose. Offers compelling lushness, sweetness and fat for a 2002; wonderfully harmonious from the outset. Very suave, clearly defined flavors of blackberry and blueberry retain their shape through to the very long aftertaste. Tannins are quite fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 94+ Points Tasted Mar 2005The 2002 Chambertin Clos de Beze bursts with spicy red cherry aromas. This medium t

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 1999

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.Full ruby-red. Extraordinarily perfumed, profound nose combines tangy black raspberry, rose petal, coffee and game; essence of Cote de Nuits pinot noir. Lush, sweet and seamless; wonderfully silky and aromatic in the mouth. Truly palate-staining wine, with compelling sweetness and smooth, thoroughly buffered tannins.Stephen Tanzer, Vinous 94+ Points Tasted Mar 2002The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambertin Clos de Beze has a beguiling

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.There is a slightly cloudy aspect to the appearance. This has begun to turn secondary with overtly earthy and sauvage characters to the perfumed and pure aromas that lead to rich, punchy, intense and tautly muscular flavors that exude a fine minerality on the utterly delicious, balanced and long if robustl finish where a hint of wood surfaces. I have had two very different experiences with this wine as one bottle seemed relatively light and almost rea

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de la Roche’ 1999

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed nose is still relatively primary with its combination of various red berries, earth and soft earth and leather nuances. There is excellent size and weight to the seductively rich but overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that deliver outstanding length where the only minor nit is a touch of warmth. This remains notably robust and will need at least another 5 to 10 years to arrive at its full peak. In a word, impres

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de la Roche’ 2002

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.Like night and day between this and the Mazis as here there is much more weight, size, earth and power with a much firmer tannic spine plus an edgier, more complex finish. This is still a bit awkward but it should benefit from another 6 months in cask. This too could be the best Rousseau Clos de la Roche in several vintages.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 Points Tasted Jan 2004 Drink: Try from 2008-2017The 2002 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru ha
Price on Application – Contact us.Initially this opens with just enough reduction to push the fruit to the background so if you're going to try a bottle anytime soon I would strongly suggest decanting it first. Once the reduction clears off there are airy and cool notes of Asian-style green tea, truffle and an array of red berry fruit scents. The intense and intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors display excellent vibrancy on the beautifully long if ever-so-slightly edgy and y

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Charmes-Chambertin’ 2002

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.This too is very forward and pretty but there's more depth and structure than usual. The medium weight flavors are very supple, ripe and nicely elegant with mouth coating sap and relatively pliant tannins. There is better finishing intensity than usual and this is the best vintage of this wine than I've seen in a while.< Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 Points Tasted Jan 2004Palish medium red.

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Grenache 2016

Grenache | McLaren Vale, Australia

Grenache is Back Baby! ... and in Style! So many good wines coming out of Aus! 20 years ago making wines like these would have made you an outcast in McLaren Vale. Times have changed, and, I'm glad they have. Andre & Silena's Rayner Vineyard Grenache (Check out their review in 1min) shows a level of sophistication and rich core of fruit, perfectly balanced with the kind of quality tannins that you can only get from old vines, we're talking 45+ years.
