The deep ruby red 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Millecento 1100 is layered with aromas of grenadine, sanguine iron-rich earth, blood orange, and toasted spices. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a weightless feel on the palate, with ripe and supple tannins, even acidity, and notes of polished leather and saline on the finish. It has a seamless, balanced feel and is drinking well now, but it will go the distance over the coming 20 years.

It shows fresh, laser intensity, with aromas of peach, red candy apple and baker’s yeast on the nose. The midpalate offers concentrated mandarin orange, cotton candy, raspberry-rhubarb, racy acidity and a dry supple finish. Decant these bubbles for aeration. Yes, bubbles can be decanted—especially those with complexity.

This wine is opulent, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, dark plum, orange zest and notes of dried sage on the nose. The flavors on the palate are boysenberry, pink grapefruit segments, vanilla cream and Red Vines, intertwined with dried tobacco, bittersweet chocolate and a dry, long finish. Hold or decant until 2034. Pair with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms.

This is the flagship Chardonnay produced by Domaine Anderson. It is a glimpse into the winemaking style of the house, highlighting the cool climate, sunshine and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The nose conveys pithy apple, youthful nectarine and butterscotch candy. The palate intensifies these notes, along with high acidity, minerals, cinnamon and a mouthwatering finish. Pair with a seafood tower.

Fresh and crisp to the point of being exacting, with echoes of sage surrounding a youthful, flinty frame. Tart lime coats the tongue, adding a dusty shiver of chalky oyster shell. Notes of dill with a twist of pure lemon blossom cleanse on the finish.
