COLIN LAGAVULIN 8-YEAR-OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH A soothing light texture with a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect: sweet, smoky, and warming, with a growing, smoky pungency, then dry, with more smoke. Charred, with minty, dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced mid palate, then salty, oven-charred baked potato skins and smoke. Water rounds things out, the taste still mighty yet more succulent, sweeter, spicier, and now tongue-tingling, mint-fresh, and warming. $56.98 $65.99 Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry, and raisin. $39.98 $47.99 ROBERTO KIRK AND SWEENEY GRAN RESERVA RUM Gran Reserva delivers an intriguing range of aromas, from intense vanilla to faint notes of sherry and raisins–all built upon a notable undercurrent of roasted cane sugars. Expert blending comes to life with the first taste, revealing a deep vanilla flavor, followed by dried fruits, nutmeg, cinnamon spices, and a hint of oak.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020 Rated 93 by James Suckling

CHARDONNAY 2022 Rated 92 by James Suckling

Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with Napa Valley and has always been a mainstay in the winemaking program at Stags’ Leap Winery. Their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines estate fruit and grapes from select Napa Valley growers, focusing on sourcing from the valley floor. Incredibly approachable and pleasing upon release, this wine is sure to dazzle.

The 2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay is fragrant and bright with aromatic notes of fresh green apple, lemongrass, lychee, lime peel, coriander spice, and white jasmine flowers. The palate's texture is lively and viscous with mouth-enveloping flavors of lemon citron, white peach, Asian pear, lanolin, and white pepper spice. The luscious mouthfeel is a signature of this elegant Chardonnay, providing the round and creamy texture, which is a nod to the delicate bâtonnage (lees stirring) during the winemaking process. The wine finishes long and graceful with undertones of minerality and a present backbone of acidity, providing mouthwatering richness and the perfect al fresco refreshing white, making it an ideal accompaniment to various cuisines. $26.98 $36.99 SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022 Rated 92 by James Suckling The 2022 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is bright, crisp, and refreshing with aromatic notes of white peach, lemon verbena, lime peel, and white elderflower. More subtle notes of brioche toast and biscuit crumb support the lively fruit (a nod to the subtle oak influence) alongside a delicate mineral flintiness. The palate is rich, creamy, and round with notes of Meyer lemon, green apple, lime pith, cassis bud, and lychee. A zippy, racy acidity is throughout, creating a mouthwatering texture and lively backbone that carries through to the long, lip-smackingly crisp finish. This is the perfect sipper with crudités, charcuterie, and aperitivo-style dining. $26.98 $36.99

$52.98 $70.99 PETIT SIRAH 2019 Rated 93 by James Suckling

The 2019 Petite Sirah is dark, inky, and dense, with layers of bramble berry fruit, touches of earth, and lovely floral tones interwoven with more savory notes of black pepper and cigar box spice, all supported by balanced oak integration. On the palate, ripe, saturated flavors of cassis, blackberry preserves, blueberry creme, cherry kirsch, vanilla spice, and dark plum envelope the intense mouthfeel. A silky viscosity with a voluminous texture, wrapped in velvety mouth-coating tannins, completes the generous and lengthy finish. Blend: 86% Petite Sirah, 6% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 3% Mixed Rhônes $38.98 $50.99 MERLOT 2020 Rated 92 by James Suckling True to its southern Napa origins, the 2020 Merlot exhibits fresh, expressive aromas and flavors with ripe black cherry, red currant, and black plum notes. These mingle with spiced notes of cinnamon, clove, Madagascar vanilla, and caramel from the delicately interwoven oak aging. Lively, lifted chaparral notes of lavender, fresh mint, and sage dance alongside riper tones of blueberry preserves and bittersweet dark chocolate, while hints of anise and black tea add savory complexity. This sumptuous wine is creamy and round with a backbone of fresh acidity. The tannin profile is polished and firm, adding richness and balance. The finish is deep and nuanced, demonstrating grace and finesse. Blend: 96% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon $29.98 $41.99

ARROYO SECO SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022 Rated 90 Points by Jeb Dunnuck Coming from a cooler climate AVA east of Soledad (in Monterey County), the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is light gold-hued and offers beautiful peach and honeyed lemon fruit and medium-bodied richness on the palate. It's fruit-forward, textured, nicely balanced, and has a clean finish, making it about as gulpable as they come. $19.98 $24.99 SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS CHARDONNAY 2023 The 2023 Luli Chardonnay exudes freshness. This wine is made with 100% native fermentation in neutral barrels to best capture the site's complexity and the vineyard's character. The inviting bouquet consists of freshly peeled Meyer lemon, ripe pear, and crushed stone. Subtle notes of peach and flint are expressed as the wine swirls. The old Chardonnay vines farmed for Luli yield tiny berries with great voluminous texture. These low yields combine with the cold and foggy days of the Santa Lucia Hillsides to retain the brilliant acidity. $21.98 $27.99 SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS SYRAH 2023 Sporting richly hued shades of dark ruby and near purple, each swirl in the glass brings new life to this savory and spicy offering, with notes of freshly ground coffee, dark chocolate, new leather, and spiced plum filling setting the stage. As this deliciously pure Syrah coats the palate, waves of blackberry crumble, red cherry, and black pepper pair with hints of dried herbs de Provence and subtle meaty undertones to create a complex mélange of flavors. Approachable to its core, this wine possesses structured tannin and remarkable acidity, suggesting it will continue to age for years. $21.98 $27.99 SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS PINOT NOIR 2021 Rated 93 Points by Wine Enthusiast Sumptuous, expressive, and undeniably pure, the 2021 Luli Pinot Noir is a refreshing and delicious expression of this world-class California appellation. A vibrant and youthful medium ruby hue splashes into the glass, releasing notes of strawberry compote, fresh rhubarb, sandalwood, and baking spice. Becoming more expressive with each swirl in the glass, this wine awakens the palate with the first sip. Distinctly spicy initially, subtle hints of sage and dried herbs give way to generous and focused black cherry and raspberry crumble flavors. The finish is no less remarkable, as soft, delicate tannin gives way to bright acidity, suggesting this wine will only improve with time. $24.98 $31.99 ColonialWineShop.com | OCTOBER 2024 | 17

Despite its proximity to Presqu’ile, it makes vastly different wines from their Estate, and they were compelled to explore these differences by crafting their expression of Bien Nacido. The vineyard’s rocky soils make for a dense, sappy, structured rendition of Pinot Noir, one whose exotic Seville orange and 5-spice notes are singular within their lineup. $59.98 $74.99

Inspired by the Northern Rhone but California in spirit. $34.98 $43.99 PINOT NOIR SANTA MARIA VALLEY 2021 Presqu’ile Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir is laden with flavors of meaty cherries, citrus rind, damp earth, and sweet spice. This wine is less tightly wound than the single-vineyard offerings, which makes it perfect for sipping with hearty stews, roasted veggies, or burgers on the grill. $34.98 $48.99 CHARDONNAY SANTA MARIA VALLEY 2020 The Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay displays the complexity and poise expected from the deep, sandy soils of western Santa Maria Valley. Traditional, natural techniques—native yeast fermentation, native malolactic conversion, and sur-lie aging—elevate and enhance this region's distinctive character, accenting its delicate balance between richness and vivacity. $27.98 $37.99 ColonialWineShop.com | OCTOBER 2024 | 19

OF THE MONTH CIGAR

DEADWOOD LEATHER ROSE The name is crazy, and the packaging is bizarre, but if you know Drew Estate, you know these are on the must-try list. With a maduro wrapper that’s exotic and aromatic, these cigars deliver wave after wave of delicious Drew Estate flavor. The difference between the Leather Rose and the other Deadwood Tobacco blend is the undisclosed filler blend of the Leather Rose, which is said to have more spice when compared to each other.
