Producer Description 

Heaven Hill - Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof 118.2 1st Edition. 

Heaven Hill launched the first release in its new Heaven Hill Heritage Collection which will feature one of the distillery’s six unique mashbills for release. The inaugural whiskey is a barrel-proof bourbon bottled at 118.2 proof and made using the distillery’s core bourbon mash bill of 78 percent corn, 10 percent rye, and 12 percent malted barley. The label says the whiskey is 17 years old, but that’s indicative of the youngest whiskey in the bottle, which also includes 19 and 20-year-old bourbon (the exact breakdown: 28 percent 20-year-old barrels, 44 percent 19-year-old barrels, 28 percent 17-year-old barrels).

Nose is complex yet not overwhelming. A splendid taste with a warm feel to it. Not to smoky but silky smooth.

Winemaker Description 

It is not known for certain how long Gelber Muskateller has been in the Rust vineyards. We do know that this grape variety used to be called Weirer. This name comes from Weihrauch (frankincense) because the nutmeg scent is so prevalent. Winemaker Description. 

Green apple, papaya, pineapple, white flowers, peppermint and flint dominate this rich, extracted and exotic delight from Heidi Schröck.

Hendrick’s Flora Adora Gin — Girvan, Scotland | Limited Release

Hendrick’s Flora Adora is the most floral expression to ever emerge from the legendary Girvan distillery — and one of the most captivating limited releases in the Hendrick’s Cabinet of Curiosities series. Crafted by Maste Distiller Lesley Gracie, this gin takes the iconic Hendrick’s DNA — cucumber, rose, and a precise juniper-coriander backbone — and elevates it with an extraordinary bouquet of enchanting blooms and lush green botanicals. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

The nose is immediately arresting: a garden in full bloom, with layers of fresh florals, sweet herbs, and a whisper of green freshness that is unmistakably Hendrick’s in character. On the palate, the juniper and coriander backbone is beautifully lengthened by lush, wonderfully sweet floral notes that create a gin of rare balance and elegance. The finish is long, aromatic, and deeply satisfying — perfect over ice with a slice of cucumber, or as the heart of a floral gin & tonic.

• Producer: William Grant & Sons, Girvan Distillery, Ayrshire, Scotland
• Expression: Flora Adora — Cabinet of Curiosities Limited Release
• Style: Floral Scottish Gin
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Enchanting florals, fresh herbs, cucumber, juniper, coriander, sweet green botanicals

Hendrick’s Gin — Girvan, Scotland | 1.0L

No other gin tastes like Hendrick’s — because no other gin is made like Hendrick’s. Crafted at the Girvan Distillery in Ayrshire by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, Hendrick’s is built on a genuinely unique production method: two rare stills working in tandem. The Bennett still steeps botanicals overnight for richness and depth; the Carter-Head still gently steams them for delicacy and lift. The result is then infused with two signature ingredients that define the gin’s unmistakable character: Bulgarian Rosa Damascena — one of the world’s most prized rose varieties — and specially selected fresh cucumbers. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 92 points. The 1.0L format is the ideal size for serious home bartenders and entertaining. Kosher certified.

The nose is fresh and immediately distinctive: cucumber, rose petal, and a whisper of juniper. On the palate, white pepper, citrus, and floral notes unfold with a silky, unusually smooth texture and a long, complex finish. It is a gin of unparalleled character and balance — and it drinks beautifully in a classic G&T with a slice of cucumber.

Wine Enthusiast 92 — “This gin has a fierce following… it lives up to the hype. A hint of cucumber mingles with juniper in the aroma, with white pepper, citrus, and floral notes on the lingering finish.”

• Producer: William Grant & Sons, Girvan Distillery, Ayrshire, Scotland
• Style: Scottish gin — dual-still production (Bennett + Carter-Head), 88 proof (44% ABV)
• Signature Infusions: Bulgarian Rosa Damascena, fresh cucumber
• Format: 1.0L
• Certification: Kosher
• Tasting Notes: Cucumber, rose petal, juniper, white pepper, citrus, floral, long smooth finish
• Best Served: Classic G&T with cucumber & tonic; Hendrick’s Martini; Cucumber Collins
• Best Paired With: Smoked salmon blinis, cucumber canapés, light seafood, sushi, soft cheeses

A 92-point Scottish gin in the ideal entertaining format — Hendrick’s is the benchmark for what cucumber-and-rose gin can be.

Hendrick’s Orbium Limited Release Gin — Girvan, Scotland, 750ml

Hendrick’s Orbium is what the beloved Scottish gin might taste like in a parallel universe — a bold reimagining by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie that pushes the boundaries of the original while remaining unmistakably Hendrick’s. Built on the classic foundation of cucumber and rose essences, Orbium is further instilled with three additional extracts: Quinine, lending a bitter, tonic-like backbone; Wormwood, adding an herbal, almost absinthe-like intrigue; and Blue Lotus Blossom, contributing a delicate floral lift that rounds the whole composition. The result is a gin of unusual depth and complexity — oddly exquisite, as Hendrick’s puts it, and entirely accurate.

On the nose, expect the familiar cucumber and rose of classic Hendrick’s, now layered with bitter botanicals and a faint ethereal quality from the Blue Lotus. The palate is round and full, with the quinine providing structure and the wormwood adding a dry, lingering finish of real distinction. Serve over ice with premium tonic and a cucumber ribbon, or explore it in a classic Negroni or Martini where its complexity can truly shine. A limited release — not to be missed.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “Orbium is a reimagining of Hendrick’s Gin — instilled with Quinine, Wormwood and Blue Lotus Blossom. An oddly exquisite gin that sits roundly on the palate.” — Lesley Gracie, Master Distiller

• Producer: Hendrick’s Gin / William Grant & Sons
• Origin: Girvan, South Ayrshire, Scotland
• Expression: Limited Release
• Base Botanicals: Cucumber, rose, plus Quinine, Wormwood, Blue Lotus Blossom
• Style: Contemporary Scottish gin
• Size: 750ml
• Best Served: Over ice with premium tonic and cucumber, or in a Martini or Negroni

A limited release from one of Scotland’s most inventive distilleries — Orbium rewards the curious.

Another Hendrick's is a new expression of Hendrick's Gin that is not only a delicious new liquid but impactful new packaging. The Hendrick's flavor is enhanced by the velvety rich notes of cacao with bright citrus elements of orange blossom leading into a smooth finish.

Hendrick’s “Another” Gin is a distinctive limited expression from the iconic Scottish distillery known for its unconventional approach to gin-making. Crafted in small batches and bottled at 44% ABV, this release continues Hendrick’s tradition of balancing classic juniper character with unexpected botanical nuance.

Distilled in Scotland and presented in the brand’s signature apothecary-style bottle, this expression offers a refined, aromatic profile designed for curious gin lovers and collectors alike.

Hendrick’s Oasium Gin — Girvan, Scotland | 750ml

Hendrick’s Oasium is the 8th expression in the Cabinet of Curiosities — and the most unexpectedly inspired. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie travelled to a faraway desert oasis (yes, she really did — camel polo was involved) and returned with a vision: the vivid colours, aromatic herbs, and bright fruits of a lush desert paradise, distilled into a gin like no other. Built on the iconic Hendrick’s DNA of cucumber, rose, and precise juniper, Oasium layers silky verdant green botanicals, deep delicate herbal tones, and a bright citrus finish into something genuinely extraordinary. The name is pronounced oh-ace-e-yum — and once you taste it, you’ll understand why.

The nose is fresh and aromatic: lush green herbs, citrus blossom, and a whisper of juniper. On the palate, silky verdant green notes sing in harmony with fresh aromatic herbs and a wonderfully bright, invigorating citrus finish. It is Hendrick’s at its most refreshing — and it was born to be served in a Gin & Tonic. For the adventurous, an Oasium Fizz with pink grapefruit is a revelation.

• Producer: William Grant & Sons, Girvan Distillery, Ayrshire, Scotland
• Expression: Oasium — Cabinet of Curiosities, 8th Edition
• Style: Aromatic herbal Scottish gin with bright citrus
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Lush green herbs, citrus blossom, juniper, verdant botanicals, bright citrus finish
• Best Served: Gin & Tonic with a slice of pink grapefruit; Oasium Fizz; Hendrick’s Martini

A desert oasis in a bottle from Scotland’s most curious distillery — Hendrick’s Oasium is the benchmark for herbal, citrus-forward gin.

Hendry · Unoaked Chardonnay · Napa Valley · 2024

Hendry Unoaked Chardonnay 2024 highlights the purity of the estate's old-vine Chardonnay fruit. Pale straw in color, it brings green and pink apple aromas together with stone fruit, followed by a light-bodied palate of tangy apple and citrus. Freshness and balance carry through a surprisingly long, lemony finish.

The Hendry family ranch sits at the foot of Mt. Veeder in the rolling hills northwest of the town of Napa. Its 114 acres of vines experience substantial marine influence, and Hendry makes its wines exclusively from estate grapes. The family's connection to the ranch began in 1939, when George W. and Margaret Hendry made it their home.

Winemaker Description

Hendry: This unassuming, unadorned wine always highlights the beauty and purity of our old-vine Chardonnay fruit. Pale straw color. Aromas of green and pink apples, stone fruits. Light-bodied, with pleasing flavors of tangy apple and citrus. Fresh and vibrant, with green apple and lemony acidity in the surprisingly long finish. Balanced palate. Keep it light when pairing with this wine. Try grilled chicken breasts, lemony hummus or guacamole with chips, mozzarella with prosciutto and summer fruit, and other light, bright foods--or just sip all by itself! Drink now through at least 2028.

Estate Philosophy

Hendry: We believe in good wine at a fair price. In growing good grapes, and keeping the winemaking simple. We’ve remained true to our roots, doing our best to honor the hard work of George W. and Margaret Hendry, who first made this ranch their home in 1939.

You'll find our family ranch tucked at the foot of Mt. Veeder, in the low, rolling hills just northwest of the town of Napa. It includes 114 acres of vines. We experience substantial marine influence, allowing us to grow many different types of wine grapes. All Hendry wines are made only from our estate grapes, and are crafted to highlight the unique soil and climate of this very special place.

Estate Recognition

Hendry's estate materials highlight inclusion in Wine Spectator's Ultimate Travel Guide to Napa Valley 2026 and San Francisco Chronicle Top Wineries recognition for six consecutive years, 2021–2026.

San Francisco Chronicle · Estate Commentary: This unassuming family-run estate is one of Napa’s best-kept secrets. The staff here is among the most knowledgeable of any tasting room in Napa Valley, and the guided tastings on the front porch of the farmhouse-like winery strike the perfect balance of casual and informative.

Sommelier Kelli White · Napa Valley Then and Now · Estate Commentary: Straightforward, delicious, and priced with an eye toward value, the Hendry wines offer an unpretentious counterpoint to an increasingly precious Napa Valley. The operation remains firmly in family hands, and the already impressive quality seems to improve with each passing year.

Food Pairings & Serving

Serve chilled with grilled chicken breasts, lemony hummus or guacamole with chips. Mozzarella with prosciutto and summer fruit is another producer-recommended match. Keep the menu light and bright, or enjoy a glass on its own.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021 

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Handsomely structured and full-bodied yet refined in approach, offering blackberry and cherry flavors laced with mocha espresso and cinnamon notes that build richness toward polished tannins.

The Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | A generous and glittering Zinfandel that is both savory and mouthwatering. This wine showcases raspberry, ripe plums, tobacco and dry, forest notes. Robust and lengthy.

James Suckling 91 Points |  Aromas of blueberry tart, poached rhubarb, cigar box and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm yet integrated tannins, bright acidity and notes of black cherries, baking spices and burnt oranges. Block 28 sits at 60 meters above sea level and is planted to St. George rootstock. The wine is aged for 15 months in 65% new oak. A powerful and tightly bound wine that will age gracefully. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Description 

Hendry Block 28 is located on bench lands west of the town of Napa. This 4.17-acre block is 160 feet above sea level and has thin, stony soils. Morning fog and strong afternoon breezes from San Pablo Bay moderate the maritime climate. The vines were planted in 1998 using St. George roots and grafted with budwood selected from an old-vine Zinfandel vineyard on Mt. Veeder called the Brandlin Vineyard. The vines are spaced 6.9' x 5', cordon-trained and spur-pruned. A vertical trellis system supports the cordon and the canopy.

Mt. Veeder’s Brandlin Ranch was planted in 1926 with a Zinfandel which produces complex, intense fruit.  The character of this mountain fruit was very interesting to George. In the early days of winemaking at Hendry, he made an arrangement with the vineyard’s owner to tend the vines in exchange for the fruit. When the vineyard was sold, George was able to obtain budwood from the gnarled old vines, which he then grafted onto rootstock in Block 28, where we’ve grown it ever since. The character of the fruit remains distinct from our other Zinfandel and Primitivo cultivars. 

In 2021, bud break in Block 28 occurred April 7th. Bloom was May 24th. Harvest was on September 25th, with a yield of 2.93 tons per acre. Bloom-to-harvest period was 124 days. 

The alcoholic fermentation was completed in approximately one week in closed fermentation tanks. The wine was then pressed and put into barrels for malolactic fermentation. Aging was fifteen months in French oak barrels, approximately 65% - 75% of which are new each year. 

Deep ruby color. Big, blackberry jam aromatics jump out of the glass. Fruity on the front-palate, medium-heavy and balanced, drawing out to a firm finish of black tea tannins. This is a Zin for Zin-lovers! The bolder of our two Zinfandel offerings. Plenty of structure for burgers, braised lamb shanks, salumi, cheeses, and slow-roasted brisket.

92 Points — Wine Spectator
91 Points — Vinous

Pinot Noir from the heart of Aÿ. Henri Goutorbe's Cuvée Prestige is the signature non-vintage Brut of one of the Vallée de la Marne's most respected family estates — a grower Champagne built around the richness, depth and vinous character that Aÿ Premier Cru Pinot Noir delivers better than almost anywhere else in Champagne. Rich yet lively, layered with vanilla, pastry cream, brioche, blackberry and blood orange zest, it is an excellent introduction to the Goutorbe house style: fruit-forward, structured and generous, with enough acidity to keep the wine elegant and fresh.

The Place

Henri Goutorbe is based in Aÿ, one of Champagne's most celebrated Premier Cru villages and the historic heartland of Pinot Noir in the Vallée de la Marne. Aÿ's south-facing slopes, deep chalk soils and warm mesoclimate allow Pinot Noir to achieve exceptional ripeness and concentration, producing wines with body, ripe red fruit and a distinctly vinous character that sets them apart from the lighter, more delicate styles of the Montagne de Reims or Côte des Blancs.

The Goutorbe family has farmed vines in Aÿ for generations, and the estate's identity is inseparable from the village. Their vineyards are planted predominantly on the chalk-rich slopes that give Aÿ Champagne its characteristic combination of richness and mineral freshness.

The Blend

Cuvée Prestige is led by approximately 70% Pinot Noir, with 25% Chardonnay and a small proportion of Pinot Meunier. Pinot Noir contributes body, ripe red and dark fruit, and the vinous depth that defines the Goutorbe style. Chardonnay brings freshness, lift and precision. Meunier adds aromatic charm and suppleness to the blend.

The assemblage draws on reserve wines from multiple vintages, giving Cuvée Prestige consistency and complexity beyond what a single harvest could provide.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Vinification follows traditional Champagne methods, with fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks and extended lees aging in bottle to develop the wine's creamy mousse and subtle notes of brioche, pastry and toasted almond.

The dosage is calibrated to complement the wine's natural fruit and acidity without masking its character — keeping Cuvée Prestige firmly in the Brut category while preserving the generosity and approachability that define it.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with aromas of ripe pear, red apple, blackberry and citrus, followed by notes of toasted brioche, pastry cream, honey, roasted almond and subtle spice. The palate is broad and creamy, supported by a fine, persistent mousse and bright acidity. Flavors of orchard fruit, blood orange, salted nuts and warm toast lead into a balanced, harmonious finish.

Wine Spectator describes it as rich yet lively, with layered notes of vanilla, pastry cream and brioche joined by blackberry, salted almond and blood orange zest, carried through a harmonious finish by fine acidity and texture.

Professional Ratings

92 Points — Wine Spectator: Rich yet lively, with layered notes of vanilla, pastry cream and brioche, joined by blackberry, salted almond and blood orange zest. Fine acidity and texture carry the wine through a harmonious finish.

91 Points — Vinous: A Pinot Noir-driven Champagne with generous fruit, attractive richness and the structure typical of the estate's home village of Aÿ.

The Producer

Henri Goutorbe is a historic family grower-producer based in Aÿ, one of Champagne's most prestigious Premier Cru villages. The estate has farmed its own vineyards for generations and produces a range of Champagnes that reflect the depth, richness and mineral character of Aÿ terroir. The Goutorbe style is built around ripe Pinot Noir, careful vineyard work and traditional winemaking — producing Champagnes that are expressive, structured and age-worthy.

Food Pairing

Cuvée Prestige is an excellent aperitif and a versatile food Champagne. Serve with oysters, smoked salmon, shellfish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, mushroom risotto, soft cheeses or lightly seasoned pork. Its body and red-fruit character also make it a natural partner for charcuterie and poultry dishes with cream or mushroom sauces.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve well chilled at approximately 46–50°F in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or white-wine glass. Ready to drink now and will continue to develop over the next three to five years.

The prestige bottling. The finest vintage. The most celebrated designation in grower Champagne. Henri Goutorbe's 2015 Cuvée Special Club is the house at its most refined and expressive — a Pinot Noir-driven vintage Champagne from Aÿ Grand Cru, produced under the Special Club designation reserved for top members of the Club Trésors de Champagne. Disgorged October 2024 after nearly a decade in the cellar, it captures both the personality of the generous 2015 vintage and the pedigree of one of Champagne's most celebrated villages.

The Special Club Designation

The Club Trésors de Champagne is an association of elite grower-producers committed to expressing individual terroir and village character. Members may only release a Special Club bottling in years they deem exceptional, and each wine must pass a blind tasting panel before it can carry the designation. The distinctive embossed bottle is a guarantee of quality, provenance and the producer's highest ambitions for that vintage.

The Place: Aÿ Grand Cru

Henri Goutorbe is based in Aÿ, one of Champagne's 17 Grand Cru villages and the historic heartland of Pinot Noir in the Vallée de la Marne. Aÿ's south-facing slopes, deep chalk soils and warm mesoclimate allow Pinot Noir to achieve exceptional ripeness and concentration, producing wines with body, ripe red and dark fruit, and a distinctly vinous character. The village's chalk-rich geology preserves freshness and mineral tension, preventing the wines from becoming heavy or overripe.

The Blend

The 2015 Special Club is composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, sourced from the estate's finest Grand Cru parcels in Aÿ. Pinot Noir provides the wine's structure, depth and ripe red-fruit character; Chardonnay contributes freshness, lift and the mineral precision that gives the wine its elegant, long-lived profile.

The 2015 Vintage

The warm, generous 2015 growing season produced concentrated, expressive fruit throughout Champagne. In Aÿ, Pinot Noir achieved excellent ripeness while retaining the acidity and structure necessary for extended aging. The vintage delivered the depth and personality required for a Special Club bottling — a wine designed to reward patience and develop complexity over many years in the cellar.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Vinification follows traditional methods, with fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks and extended aging on the lees in bottle. The wine was disgorged in October 2024 — nearly a decade after the harvest — allowing it to develop the layered complexity, refined mousse and subtle oxidative depth that define a mature prestige Champagne.

Tasting Notes

The 2015 Special Club opens with layered aromas of kirsch, cinnamon, dried flowers, ginger, citrus confit and marzipan. With air, notes of ripe orchard fruit, baked apple, toasted brioche, roasted nuts and subtle pastry cream emerge, underscored by delicate mineral tension.

The palate is broad and vinous yet precise, with fine mousse, impressive concentration and a long, elegant finish marked by pear, lemon curd, spice and chalky tension. Vinous describes the finish as deceptively long and understated — a thing of beauty — and notes that the wine has been gently shaped by the passage of time in a way that reveals the essence of Aÿ in a ten-year-old Champagne.

Professional Ratings

94 Points — Vinous (December 2025): The 2015 Special Club is a very pretty, expressive wine that captures the essence of Aÿ in a ten-year-old Champagne. Kirsch, cinnamon, dried flowers, ginger, citrus confit and marzipan all caress the palate. Readers looking for a Champagne that has been gently shaped by the passage of time will find that here. The deceptively long, understated finish is a thing of beauty. This is one of the finest Champagnes I have tasted from Goutorbe in some time. Disgorged October 2024.

The Producer

Henri Goutorbe is a historic family grower-producer based in Aÿ Grand Cru. The estate has farmed its own vineyards for generations and produces a range of Champagnes that reflect the depth, richness and mineral character of Aÿ terroir. The Goutorbe style is built around ripe Pinot Noir, careful vineyard work and traditional winemaking — producing Champagnes that are expressive, structured and age-worthy.

Food Pairing

Rich enough to enjoy on its own, the Special Club pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, truffle dishes, foie gras, creamy cheeses and elegant seafood preparations. Its depth and Pinot Noir structure also make it an excellent partner for duck, veal and mushroom-based dishes.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve at approximately 50–54°F in a generous tulip-shaped Champagne glass or white-wine glass. Already showing beautifully, the 2015 has the structure and concentration to develop additional complexity through the early 2030s.

Explore the Excellence of Henriot Champagne

Winemaker Description 

The Brut Souverain is the most historical cuvée in the region, as it was the first cuvée Apolline Henriot produced in 1808. Apolline aspired to put the light on her vineyards through the expression of a champagne. According to her, one year was not enough to tell the story of the terroirs, so she decided to put wines in reserve each year to incorporate them into a future blend.

Therefore, she founded the House by creating a Champagne that would have blending as its fundamental principle. The House respects this philosophy today and uses every terroir in this multi-cru, multi-vintage cuvée. It was named Brut Souverain by Ernest Henriot, Apolline's grandson, when the House was appointed the official champagne supplier to the Courts of the King of Holland and of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary.

Hermann J Wiemer Magdalena Riesling 2022 · Finger Lakes, New York

Producer Description

The unique traits of Wiemer’s Magdalena Vineyard are featured in this lush Riesling. A beneficial air exchange with Seneca Lake moderates the temperatures, creating a warmer and more protective site in the colder months and a cooling effect throughout the summer. The airflow keeps the vineyard dry, and deep soil provides room for spreading root growth. The lime silt loam soil that the site is celebrated for is crucial to the development of flavor intensity in the grapes. Magdalena wines are striking and powerful, and develop very well over time– whether in the glass or in the cellar.

Critical Acclaim - Vintage 2022

Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points (Christina Pickard) — Still a spring chicken, this top Riesling—if drunk now—needs a few good swirls in the glass before releasing delicate orange citrus, jasmine and honeysuckle aromas from the clutch of more reductive ones. There’s richness and intensity on the dry, slippery palate, cut with citrusy acidity and a chalk dust minerality to the ultralong finish. This is a wine of complexity and class that should cellar until 2032 or longer.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 95 Points | A very pretty red with blackberry, black-cherry, flint and crushed-stone aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a firm, focused tannin structure under the poised fruit. Long and caressing. Complex and crunchy. Drink or hold.

The Wine Advocate 91 Points | The 2023 Cabernet Franc Magdalena Vineyard boasts slightly darker-hued fruit than the regular bottling, with the aromas tending toward black raspberries and black cherries. At the same time, it's perhaps a bit less leafy but still reasonably floral. In the mouth, the wine is medium- to full-bodied and silky-textured, with soft tannins that linger on the finish.

Winemaker Description 

Our single-vineyard iteration of our pillar red variety, Cabernet Franc, with more weight and structure than our traditional version. This fruit hails from a two-and-a-half-acre block within our Magdalena Vineyard- a warmer site which produces fruit that is amongst our ripest picks in each vintage. This additional development yields bold tannins up front which advance into red fruit transitioning to purple; black cherries, red plums, holiday seasoned cranberries. Texture, depth, and freshness are found in green flavors and garden soil earthiness, thanks to the rain of the earlier part of the '23 vintage. A drier and hotter fall is to thank for the counterbalancing fruit and composition.

Upon release, this Cab Franc has youthful muscularity to it, and has been destined to cellar beautifully. Drink now through 2038.

Perfect for pairing with rosemary roasted Parsnips and Lollipop Lamb Chops or Maple Roasted Butternut Squash with Pomegranate Seeds and Pepitas.

Memo Summary Notes

The Hermann J. Wiemer Cabernet Franc "Magdalena Vineyard" 2023 is a standout single-vineyard red from arguably the most prestigious estate in the Finger Lakes. While the winery is world-famous for Riesling, their Magdalena Vineyard—a warmer, 2.5-acre site on the western shores of Seneca Lake—is known for producing the region's most "serious," age-worthy Cabernet Franc.

The 2023 vintage is a significant release, as it was recently highlighted by James Suckling as one of the top-scoring New York reds ever tasted.

Pair with - Meats: Roast pork belly with sweet soy, lollipop lamb chops, or a classic steak with arugula and Parmigiano. 

• Vegetarian: Maple-roasted butternut squash with pomegranate seeds or a hearty lentil soup.

• Service: This is a "serious" red; decant for 30 minutes to let the flinty mineral and tobacco notes emerge from the primary fruit.

Mojama is the jewel of Spanish charcuterie — and the Herpac Mojama de Barbate Extra de Atún IGP Cured Yellowfin Tuna Loin (2.82oz) is among the finest expressions of this ancient tradition. Produced in Barbate, on the windswept Atlantic coast of Andalusia, this cured yellowfin tuna loin carries IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status, guaranteeing its provenance and the rigorous standards of its production.

The tuna is salt-cured and slow-dried in the Atlantic sea breeze for weeks, resulting in a deeply concentrated, silky, ruby-red loin with an intense umami depth reminiscent of the finest aged charcuterie. Slice paper-thin and serve with marcona almonds, good olive oil, and crusty bread — or shave over pasta, salads, or scrambled eggs for an extraordinary finishing touch.

Pairing

The classic Andalusian pairing is a chilled manzanilla Sherry — its briny, oxidative character is a perfect mirror to the cured tuna's saline intensity. A crisp Albariño works beautifully as well.

Expert Reviews

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
The perky aroma suggests vanilla and citrus, for a lemon cream pie-like effect. The palate starts out with vanilla, coconut and waxy honey, and is perked up by citrusy acidity and hints of lemon peel in the finish.
