2015 Sidebar, Sauvignon Blanc, High Valley, California, USA

Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,

Sourced from High Valley in Lake County, the Brassfield Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is north of Napa at 1,800 feet above sea-level. It is one of the coolest sites in Lake County and helps the wines obtain nervier acidities. As for the winemaking: whole-cluster fermentation, no malolactic and a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels for fermentation, it’s then aged for two months on lees, in a mix of neutral oak, stainless steel and concrete egg. The resultant wine is almost Loire in style – fresh and chalky with a citrus core.

2015 Qupé A Modern White Blend, Central Coast, California

Qupe, Drink now,

Very peachy nose. Rich and full at the front of the palate, gentle, and the freshness is more from the lightly grainy texture than from acidity. Pear-grained.

2015 Tablas Creek, Patelin de Tablas, Paso Robles, California

Tablas Creek Vineyard, Drink now,

This is a blend of 51 percent Syrah, 31 percent Grenache, 14 percent Mouvèdre and four percent Counoise. “Patelin” is slang for “neighbourhood” and is a project that enables Tablas to be selective with their own fruit, as well as sourcing from some high-quality vineyards around their ‘hood, Paso Robles. Each vineyard which makes it into the blend is mentioned on the label. Bright and energetic, the wine has aromas of violet, blueberry and pepper spice. It has a silky but pronounced tannin profile, with a juicy and generous mid-palate.

2015 Sidebar, Red Field Blend, Russian River Valley, California, USA

Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,

This wine comes from the Alegria vineyard (in Sonoma County’s Russian River. Certified sustainable, the site has complex alluvial, gravelly loam, marine and volcanic soils. The gnarly head-trained vines range from 60 to 125 years old. The field blend is mostly Zinfandel (80 percent) with Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Carignan, Trousseau, Petite Bouschet, Syrah, Beclan, Tannat, Peloursin, Graciano, Plavac Mali, Palomino, Monbadon. This undergoes a 20-day ferment and maceration before being aged in neutral oak barrels for 14 months. The resultant wine has dark, red-berried fruit with spiciness. The palate has voluptuous but structured tannins, with great freshness at its core.

2015 Birichino Jurassic Park Vineyard Chenin Blanc, Santa Ynez Valley

Birichino, Drink now,

This extraordinary vineyard lies next to an oil field (called the Jurassic Park Oil Centre – from which the vineyard takes its name). The soils have a layer of deep sand (meaning the vines are able to survive ungrafted), but beneath – and as the nearby pump jacks suggest – there is complex geology. Birichino works with three precious rows of the 40-year-old vines to produce this golden wine. It offers beeswax and orange blossom aromatics, with a citrus-fruit vibrancy on the palate. The linear core has hints of dried apricot that add breadth to the mouth-feel.

2015 Birichino, Saint Georges Zinfandel, Old Vines, Central Coast, USA

Birichino, Ready, but will keep,

This is – as one might expect from the non-conformist duo behind Birichino – atypical Zinfandel with balance and floral notes, rather than high alcohol and overripe aromas. Dried cranberries are layered with sweet spice, redcurrants, sour cherries and black tea notes. Pale ruby in colour, it is vibrant, with refreshing acidity and a silky texture.

This wine is made with Burgundy clones of Chardonnay, planted in 1978. Barrel-fermented, but with no malolactic fermentation, the wine is vibrant with a mineral core. It spends eight months in bottle before release. Balanced with 14.5 percent alcohol.

2015 DeSante, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

DeSante is a small grower and their Cabernet comes from the prestigious Oakville area within the Napa Valley, home to some of the most highly regarded and sought-after wines in California. I love this Cabernet: although it displays the typical generosity and power of a Napa Cabernet, there is a purity and elegance that defines the wine and makes it incredibly accessible. Wines of this quality can be rather expensive and unaffordable, but DeSante – who make only 1,000 cases in total – really deliver with this wine, both in terms of price and quality.

2015 Lingua Franca, Avni Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Lingua Franca, Ready, but will keep,

The grapes originate from a combination of vineyards within the Willamette Valley region, that includes Salem's Bunker Hill, Dundee's Durand, Yamhill-Carlton, Laubejac (Montmouth) in a mixture of Nekia (volcanic) and Willakenzie (marine, sedimentary) soils. The grapes are picked early to obtain maximum freshness and tension in the wine (aiming for lower alcohol). The grapes are whole-cluster pressed and allowed to settle for 24 hours before being transferred to a combination of 20 percent new 600-litre casks and 80 percent old French barriques, from various coopers, and are left on fine lees for 10 months. The wines are moved to tank (still on their fine lees) for four months prior to bottling.

At 13% this wine is restrained in its approach, despite its dark inky colour . Violets, pepper, licorice, herbal aromatics and wild flowers can all be found in the glass. Savoury, tight knit tannin structure with a silky texture and lightness of touch.

Ridge Vineyards, Ready, but will improve,

The 14.5% alcohol is incredibly well integrated with a blend of 70% Zinfandel, 15% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah, 3% Alicante Bouschet. An excellent 50th Geyserville vintage! The aromatic profile is incredibly intense with notes of brambles fruits, spice, licorice and cedar are supported by a richness on the palate but with a distinct vibrancy and balance from the acidity and integrated tannins.

2015 God Only Knows Grenache, Cayuse Vineyards

Cayuse Vineyards, For laying down,

The 2015 Grenache God Only Knows Armada Vineyard is superb, wafting from the glass with a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity that features aromas of rose hips and peony, ripe cherries and orange rind, mingled with savory bass notes of garrigue, licorice and bay leaf. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and expansive, with a deep core of fruit framed by very fine-grained, velvety tannins, concluding with a sapid, even saline finish. Its concentration without weight, as well as its striking aromatic amplitude, mark it out as one of the finest expressions of Grenache to be found in the United States. The 2015 was cropped at 1.2 tons per acre and saw a saignée of 8% to 15%, and it was fermented with 70% to 80% whole cluster, attaining 14.2% alcohol.

2015 Horsepower Vineyards, The Tribe Syrah, Walla Walla Valley, USA

Horsepower Vineyards, For laying down,

Of these three offerings from Horsepower, the 2015 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard will require the most time, as it's the most tight-knit at this early stage, slowly unwinding in the glass with savory aromas of raw cocoa, tapenade, nori and ripe blackberries. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a rich chassis of satiny structuring tannins and a layered, umami-laden core of fruit. At 13.6% alcohol, it's also beautifully balanced

2015 Opus One

Opus One, For laying down,

Purity and brilliance on the nose with so much currant and flower character. Roses, currant bush and fresh leaves, too. Brightness is the word that comes to mind. Full-bodied and broad-shouldered. Juicy and so gorgeous now. Balance is so wonderful here. All about harmonious fruit and tannin balance. I like it slightly better than the excellent 2014. 81% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot and 2% malbec. Drink or hold.
