About

Alamos is the accessible label from Catena Zapata, the family that put Mendoza Malbec on the world map, drawing on high-altitude vineyards in the Andes foothills. Deep ruby with violet hues, the 2024 layers dark cherry and blackberry with aromas of violet, spice and vanilla. The palate is velvety and expansive, with balanced tannins and a long, smooth, lingering finish — the definition of a reliable midweek steak red.

Kaesler Stonehorse SHZ 2022

Kaesler

Shiraz from Kaesler estate vines between 35 and 47 years old, fermented for a week and then rested mostly in older French oak so the fruit leads. Vibrant fruits of the forest and cassis on the nose with hints of spice box, then a supple, elegant palate of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry threaded with redcurrant and raspberry over soft, silken tannins. Drink now or hold four to five years.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France

Domaine Santa Duc Chateauneuf-du-pape le Pied de Baud 2021

Domaine Santa Duc

Grenache-led single-vineyard Châteauneuf-du-Pape (80% Grenache with Cinsault and Mourvèdre) from Le Pied de Baud, one hectare in the appellation's northern sector where old vines root deep into river gravel and clay laid down by the prehistoric Rhône. Eighteen months in large foudres and terracotta jars keeps the oak out of the way. Raspberry and cherry on the nose, supple and velvety on a medium- to full-bodied palate — fleshier and more powerful than Santa Duc's other Châteauneufs. Wine Advocate rated the 2021 at 93-95 points with a window out to 2040.
