THE TIPSY ELF SPECIAL MIXED 15-PACK 2018 COURTNEY BENHAM CALIFORNIA TERROIR CABERNET SAUVIGNON “Plenty of blackcurrants and red licorice on the nose with some tile and crushed stones. Full-bodied with medium chewy tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Very drinkable now, but better in a year or two. Screw cap.” 92 Points 2018 VISTA RUTHERFORD RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON “The Vista Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 has a gorgeous, powerful nose of blackberry pie filling, French lavender, sweet vanilla and brioche. On the palate, this opulent beauty is rich and concentrated, with a core of focused fruits and flavors including mountain blackberries, red plums, ripe blueberries, menthol, vanilla spice, and dark chocolate, all supported by fine grained fruit tannins. It is amazingly ready-to-drink now, but has the structure to cellar for a decade.” 95 Points, Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier 2015 CHATEAU DE BARBE BORDEAUX COTES DE BOURG “Wood spice aromas are an indication this wine that has had serious oak aging. Along with the dense tannins and wood, there is, happily, some fruit that will develop as the structure softens. Drink this powerful wine with its rich berry fruit from 2021.” 90 Points, Cellar Selection 2016 ESPRIT DE FONROZAY BORDEAUX “Warm and ripe, this wine is full of black fruits and rich tannins. It is structured but this foundation is already well integrated with the fruit. Spice and a touch of licorice indicate the wood aging and also the potential of this wine. Drink from 2021.” 90 Points 2015 POGGIO DEL MORO ROSSO TOSCANA “A pretty red with plum and berry character, as well as spice and chocolate. Rich and powerful with lots going on. Full-bodied, chewy and juicy. Drink after 2022.” 93 Points
