It's been an exciting last few weeks at K&L as we geared up for the closing days of 2020. Hopefully, you've got your holiday shopping buttoned up and have made plans for a safe and socially distanced New Year. We lined up some pretty incredible finds to round out the year, from great everyday pours to hard-to-find collectible treasures. Let's take a look at some of this week's top picks. If you love perfectly aged Bordeaux but want to stay within a budget, we have several extraordinary wines this week that will fit the bill perfectly. At the top of the list is the 1997 Grandis, Haut-Médoc for only $18.99. A bright and charming red, it is one of the best values we've found in the vintage. Longtime K&L customers will immediately recognize the 2009 Coufran, one of this great vintage's most affordable collectibles. Showing lush opulence and priced under $25, this is a wine you want to go big on. In the $30-$40 range, we have the quartet of 1997 Gaudin, 2004 Haut-Bergey, 2016 Fombrauge, and 2012 Sociando-Mallet. All offer a classic Bordeaux profile and are showing beautifully while also affording decades of aging potential. Rarely do we see such an incredible bounty of reasonably priced library selections, making this the perfect opportunity to stock up for 2021. Shifting to our side of the pond, our domestic buyers have scored another ridiculous value in the 2018 Diatom (Brewer-Clifton) "Santos Road" Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay. Our hidden pricing should tell you the savings here is pretty incredible. Hailing from one of the most revered producers in California's Central Coast, this tantalizing white is firing on all cylinders. Our jaw-dropping price makes a case purchase a prudent choice. It's not often we find a 95-point wine for under $20, but when we do, we know to go big. The 2018 Lapostolle "Cuveé Alexandre - Apalta Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon is in the running for the best rendition of this wine we've ever tasted and is about as classic as they come. The wine's ripe fruit plays a starring role, but a perfect complement of spice keeps things interesting. Given its fun and easy-going approach, it is an excellent candidate for your next house red. If Pinot Noir is more your pace, we have two exciting options you won't want to miss. First is the 96-point 2018 Anthill Farms "Hawk Hill Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. We've been loving these single-vineyard expressions from this Pinot specialist. Antonio Galloni of Vinous was so impressed with this 2018, he wrote: "Understated, vibrant and classy, the 2018 is so finessed and so sculpted. It is one of my favorites in this range." Equally as captivating is the 99-point 2017 Rippon "Mature Vine" Pinot Noir. We've been singing the praises of New Zealand Pinot Noir a lot lately, and this one is a prime example. A rival to the Grand Crus of Burgundy, but for a sliver of the price, this is a wine you'll want to return to again and again. The parade of exceptional Brunellos from the heralded 2016 vintage continues. This week we are pleased to present the stellar 95-point Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino. This sophisticated expression deftly captures all the best characteristics of this remarkable year. This estate has developed quite to following at K&L, and bottlings like this are a good reason why. Finally, for those on the hunt for aged Highland single malts, you'll want to zero in on the Oban 18 Year Old "Limited Edition" as well as the crown jewel of Scotches, the legendary Macallan 30 Year Old Sherry Oak. Both are transcendent expressions that would be welcome additions to any collection. Quantities are extremely limited, so quick action is a must. This week's highlights include:
