ACCOLADE RESULTS
94 Points
2016 Dutton-Goldfield Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, March 2019
“This wine is beautifully fruity in tones of cranberry, strawberry and raspberry, with perfumed wafts of rose and lavender on the nose. It's light in body, driven by bright acidity that keeps it fresh and inviting. A silky display of Asian spice rings on the finish.”

2016 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Walker Hill Vineyard Chardonnay
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, March 2019
“This white has an expert level of intensity and concentration, and plenty of length within its balanced frame. Flavors of lemon meringue, brioche and apricot are complemented by wet stone.”
89 Points
2015 El Vínculo Alejairén
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, September 2018
“This rich, distinctive white has a deep gold color and a thick, toothsome texture. Candied orange, dried fig and vanilla flavors give this a dessert wine profile, but without sweetness. Shows enough acidity to stay fresh. Drink now. 200 cases imported.”
88 Points
2013 El Vínculo Crianza
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, January 2018
“Inside a hard shell of tannins, flavors of kirsch, strawberry preserves and vanilla mingle. A bit candied but lively, thanks to sweet-tart acidity. Slightly disjointed, but has fruit and muscle. Tempranillo. Drink now through 2023. 1,300 cases imported.”

2011 Dehesa La Granja
James Suckling, James Suckling, August 2018
“Big, ripe blackberry and smoky nose with hints of earth and caramel. A full-bodied red with plenty of positive, dry tannins. Pleasantly warm, but also fresh and animating, this is delicious now and should hold through at least 2021.”
93 Points
2009 Condado de Haza Alenza Gran Reserva
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, September 2018
“This firm red delivers cherry and red plum flavors, with accents of dried herb, black pepper and baking spices. Firm tannins and blood orange acidity keep this balanced. Not showy, but fresh, focused and energetic. Drink now through 2029. 50 cases imported.”
93 Points
2016 Bruno Giacosa Barbera d'Alba
James Suckling, James Suckling, September 2018
“Loads of blackberries and blueberries here with citrus peel and flowers. Full body, juicy fruit and a vivid and fruity finish. Lots of citrus peel underneath it all. Drink or hold.”

2016 Bibi Graetz Grilli
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, September 2018
“The 2016 Grilli is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Syrah and 20% Merlot (all from vineyards in Chianti) that is fermented and aged in steel vat to preserve the freshness and the fruit-froward nature of the wine. Grilli is also Bibi Graetz's only wine made with Bordeaux or international grapes instead of Italian indigenous varieties. You get great value at this price point especially if you are looking for a mid-weight red for immediate drinking that is intense, soft, ripe and succulent. The wine opens to a beautifully saturated color with dark veins of crimson and inky purple. The bouquet is redolent of blackberry preserves, sour cherry, dark plum, bitter almond and grilled rosemary twig. The finish closes with subtle tones of menthol or medicinal herb. Drink this wine within the next two or three years. Some 30,000 bottles were made.”

Bibi Graetz Bollamatta
James Suckling, James Suckling, January 2017
“This is more of a rosé with bubbles than a sparkling rosé and I like it. Very fun and refreshing. Medium-bodied, fruity, yet crisp and entertaining. Delicious fruit/acid balance. Sangiovese. Try it!”
