About Winery
Vega Sicilia is one of Spain’s most iconic and prestigious wineries, with a rich history dating back to 1864. Here's a brief overview:
Founded by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, a Spanish winemaker trained in Bordeaux, who brought with him French grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. He planted these alongside the native Tempranillo (then called Tinto del País) in the Ribera del Duero region.
The winery gained fame in the 20th century for producing some of Spain’s most celebrated wines, especially its flagship wine, Único, known for its complexity and extraordinary aging potential.
In 1982, the Álvarez family acquired Vega Sicilia, marking a new era of modernization and expansion. Under Pablo Álvarez’s leadership, the winery has maintained its legendary status while also expanding into other regions like Toro (with Pintia) and Rioja.
Despite its name, Vega Sicilia has no connection to the island of Sicily. “Vega” refers to fertile river plains, and “Sicilia” is believed to reference Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music.

Winemaker Notes
With great complexity, the Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon expresses aromas of black fruit, Bing cherry, dark chocolate, red raspberry, green olive, tobacco, all integrated with the spicy sweetness of oak, cedar, connamon, clove and a hint of black pepper. The body is very full with a soft entry, coupled with dark cherry/berry flavors that develop with great depth.

Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace opens with graphite and earth aromas that segue to scents of briary fruits, peppered meats, blood orange and dark spices. Finely silty and super fresh, it boasts concentrated, layered fruit and a very long finish with a flourish of savory accents.
About Winery
Beaux Frères is the story of an uncommon encounter between the exceptional Willamette Valley, Oregon terroir and Founder Michael Etzel. While on vacation in 1986, Michael Etzel came upon an 88-acre pig farm for sale located on Ribbon Ridge in the Northern Willamette Valley, Yamhill County, Oregon. After some deliberation, Michael purchased the farm with his brother-in-law (“beaux frères”), Robert Parker, Jr. Since their first vintage in 1991, the Beaux Frères philosophy remains the same; to produce a world-class Pinot Noir from small, well-balanced yields and ripe, healthy fruit that represent the essence of the vineyard, while also using organic and biodynamic practices. Today, Beaux Frères is recognized as an exemplary Estate in Oregon.
Winemaker Notes
The 2016 Opus One is remarkably elegant and bright offering sumptuous aromas of fresh red and blue fruit, baking spices and vanilla, and a delicate fragrance of spring florals. The initial bouquet is augmented by more nuanced notes of sage, rosemary, and black olive. Juicy flavors of black cherry, blackberry and cassis flood the palate and creamy, fine-grained tannins deliver a delightfully round structure. Harmonious and lively, the flavors linger to create an enduring finish with touches of dark chocolate and espresso.
About Winery
Rising gracefully from the vineyards, Opus One winery stands in subtle celebration of the land and the open space that surrounds the estate. It remains an ongoing testament to the founders’ vision of a singular wine that transcends generations.
The estate vineyards of Opus One, comprised of four parcels, sit in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA in Napa Valley. Two parcels, totaling 100 acres, are within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard. These are complemented by the combined 70 acres of the Ballestra and River parcels, which envelop the winery. In the vineyards, hand-harvesting and other traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best. When modern techniques benefit the winegrowing process, they are researched, evaluated and integrated into practice.
Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Les Forts de Latour is characterized by a deep ruby color, a nose of intense dark fruits like cassis and blackberry, and floral hints of peony and violets. On the palate, it's full-bodied with silky, plush tannins and flavors of ripe blackcurrant, spice, and minerality, leading to a long, focused, and elegant finish. The wine is considered very pure and balanced, with excellent potential for aging.
About Winery
Château Latour, a renowned Bordeaux winery, has a rich history spanning centuries. Its name comes from a fortress tower built in the 14th century, used for defense during the Hundred Years' War. The estate, known for its powerful and complex red wines, has seen various owners throughout its history, including the Segur family, who held it for almost 300 years.
Today, his daughter Saskia de Rothschild represents the 6th generation of the family at the head of the winemaking properties.
Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Les Allées de Cantemerle is characterized by its vibrant fruit, including blackcurrant, cherry, and plum, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla from oak aging. It offers an elegant structure with silky tannins and a long, graceful finish featuring dark berry and fresh raspberry notes. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc creates a sophisticated and approachable wine, praised for its refined fruitiness and classic Left Bank Bordeaux character.
About Winery
Château Cantemerle's story is a blend of historical events, family legacy, and the enduring allure of Bordeaux wines. The property, a Fifth Growth in Haut-Médoc, has a rich history stretching back to the Middle Ages. It began as part of a defensive fortification line, later evolving into a vineyard with ties to the Pons de Cantemerle family.
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Valserrano Reserva red wine has an intense and elegant aroma with hints of ripe red fruit, mineral notes, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is potent and appetizing, offering flavors of red fruits and toasted notes with a balanced oak influence. Made primarily from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes from the Rioja Alavesa region, the wine is characterized by its good structure and intense color, reflecting the "Excellent" 2019 vintage in Rioja.
About Winery
Valserrano, also known as Viñedos y Bodegas de la Marquesa, is a family-owned winery with a long history in Rioja Alavesa. Founded in 1880, it has been continuously managed by the same family for five generations. The winery's roots trace back to Francisco Javier Solano y Eulate, Marqués de la Solana, who, inspired by French winemaking techniques, began producing Médoc-style wines in the late 19th century. Today, Juan Pablo de Simón, his great-grandson, leads the winery, and his children are actively involved in the business.
Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Château Beychevelle showcases a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine with a historically high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker notes highlight its surprising freshness, vibrant red and black fruit character, and elegant, silky tannic structure. The wine offers complex aromas and flavors of blackberry, mint, and cedar, with a savory, focused finish that should age well for two decades.
About Winery
Chateau Beychevelle, A prestigious Cru Classe whose character has been forged by three centuries of history. Nowhere does the word Chateau in its noblest sense ring as true as it does at Beychevelle.
The elegance of its classical architecture makes it a jewel in the crown of the Médoc, coveted since its creation by the powerful families who have successively marked the economic, political and cultural life of Bordeaux and the region.
