Red Wine - 2021 L'Aventure Optimus Estate Paso Robles

95 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Optimus is an elegant, polished blend of 55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot. It takes plenty of air to reveal maraschino cherry, blueberry, leather, aniseed, gravel dust and garrigue aromas. The full-bodied palate offers expansive, spicy fruit framed by powdery tannins and focused acidity, and it has a long, latent finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle." - Erin Brooks (Dec 2023)

95 Points - James Suckling:
"Ripe blackberries, cassis and plum skins with blood orange, anisette and wet stones on offer. Full-bodied with compact, refined tannins and velvety texture. Generous and plentiful with a deep core of black fruit and a spiced, chocolatey finish. Really well made. A blend of 55% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot. Drink or hold."

White Wine - 2022 Jayson by Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Chardonnay

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:

"Layers of pleasing and mouthwatering flavor -- spiced apples and baked pairs with accents of lemon cream and cloves. A creamy mouthfeel carries a generous wine that's full of length and humming persistence." - Elaine Chukan Brown (Dec 2024)

93 Points - James Suckling:

"This generous, buttery and spicy wine is sourced from several parts of Napa Valley and brings gorgeous richness to the nose, palate and finish. Elements of brown butter, marzipan, toasted almonds and poached pears flood the flavors, with vanilla bean and a touch of sweet coconut. Barrel fermented in 36% new French oak, it’s full-bodied and nicely viscous in texture. Drink or hold." (Jul 2024)
