M. Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde L'esquerda 2018

Size: 750ml

Jeb Dunnuck: 94, Wine Advocate: 90, Wine Advocate: 93

"The color is intense, deep and steady. The nose shows maturity with aromas of black fruits and warm spices. We find the soils of origin are revealed with floral notes (violet) which are lightly smoky. We can find the same aromatic notes on the Northern Côtes du-Rhône soils, which are the birthplace of the Syrah. The attack is both supple and powerful. Tannins are at the same time powerful and tight. The finale is fresh without any heaviness." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-Made up of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan this wine comes from one of the top estates in the Rhone valley. Perfectly balanced, elegant and full of flavor from start to finish this bottle would be an ideal companion with most Lamb dishes. Take this with you to dinner and thank me later. Cheers!

"Coming from higher elevation granite soils and just about all Syrah, the 2018 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde L'Esquerda offers stunning granite character with its cassis and black raspberry fruit intermixed with lots of wet stone, ground pepper, white flowers, and hints of truffle. Deep, medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure and elegant on the palate, with light tannins, it's going to keep for upwards of a decade." —Jeb Dunnuck

"A 60-40 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2018 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde l'Esquerda looks potentially outstanding. Crushed stone accents give this full-bodied red a sense of austerity, while the blueberry and cherry fruit is bold and muscular, yielding to a long, mouthwatering finish." —Wine Advocate

High West Distillery Rendezvous Rye Whiskey Size: 750ml

21108
"Rendezvous Rye celebrates the first recorded whiskeyfest out West...in Utah. The 'rendezvous' was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. Alcohol was not one of the 'supplies' at the first rendezvous. This oversight was corrected with a generous supply of whiskey at the second rendezvous in Utah's Cache Valley.

"Rendezvous Rye is a blend of two exotic straight rye whiskies; one old, and one young. It marries the rich aromatic qualities of a 16-year-old rye with the bold spicy properties of 6-year-old rye to create a full flavored, very complex whiskey. The 6-year-old boasts an uncommonly high 95% rye mash bill. Almost every other straight rye whiskey you can buy today is barely legal, with 51-53% rye in the mash bill. Not Rendezvous Rye. It honors the way rye whiskey used to be made, with a high rye content and full, uncompromised flavor. With Rendezvous Rye, you get a taste of authentic rye whiskey. We hope you enjoy it." —producer

Aberlour A'bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky Size: 750ml

25380
"With each batch carefully made by hand, Aberlour A'bunadh is a unique cask strength whisky that has achieved cult status among whisky connoisseurs. Meaning 'the original' in Gaelic, A'bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour's founder, James Fleming, using only traditional methods without chill filtration or other modern processes. The result is a heavier, creamier single malt than most have ever experienced – memorably flavoursome, with an intense raisin character.

"Deep rich amber colour. Terrific aromas of allspice, praline and spiced orange, in harmony with deep notes of Oloroso Sherry. On the palate, orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger, spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with lingering Sherry and oak. Superlatively full bodied and creamy. Robust and long-lasting finish, with bittersweet notes of exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak." —producer
