2024	Decibel	Chardonnay Hawke’s Bay ‘Testify’	Lovely reductive struck match characters are present but not overwhelming on this small batch Chardonnay from ex-pat American Daniel Brennan. Toast, nougat, and nectarine soar, with weight and power to the palate but with freshness and a subtle core of fruit amid the toastier, more lactic characters. This could cellar for several more years but is drinking pretty darn beautifully right now.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2026-03-03
2022	Domaine Yves Cheron	Cotes du Rhone 'Les Dentelles'	Black-cherry fruit leather meets violet, rose, and garrigue in a generous nose that is both refined and inviting. The palate is silky yet layered, balancing dried currant, licorice, flint, and a subtle meaty tone against supple texture. Sophisticated and complex, this is the kind of versatile bottle that impresses equally on casual game night or formal dinner. Serve at cellar temperature. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
2023	Moulin Rouge	Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois Supérieur	The wine is smooth, full of ripe black fruits, and features rich tannins. The black-pepper aroma and dense texture is balanced by succulent acidity. The 45-acre vineyard is at the heart of the Haut-Médoc close to the Gironde estuary. Drink from 2028.

2024	Decibel	Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe	Typical to Hawke's Bay, this is a lusher, more tropical-fruited Savvy B than those found in the South Island. Winemaker—and expat American—Daniel Brennan's wines always have that handcrafted, lo-fi appeal of small-batch winemaking. This single-vineyard bottling is no different. Spiced pineapple and peach, honeyed oatmeal, and ginger march to a palate that's less concentrated than the nose implies, but with a lovely balance of textural weight and mouthwatering acidity that makes this a pleasant drop outside the typical Savvy B canon. Hidden Gem.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2026-03-03
2024	Meadowcroft	Pinot Noir Anderson Valley	Fresh, youthful aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus waft on the nose of this wine, with notes of dried herbs and florals. The lush mouthfeel delivers fuller fruits on the palate, including red raspberry, cardamom, sweet vanilla cream in the midpalate, and a dry, supple finish. Hidden Gem.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
2024	Quadrum Wine Company	Red Blend	Restrained aromas of black plum and muddled strawberry open on the nose along with hibiscus and dried violet blossom. Supple in texture with relaxed tannins, the wine is like sangria in a glass with an underlying cheerfulness to match. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
2024	Giuliano Rosati	Pinot Grigio Friuli	Ripe pears and orchard fruits show real depth, while texture kicks things up a notch. The palate brings that classic Friuli weight without losing its fresh edge, everything staying balanced between power and lift. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
2024	Le Roi	Le Roi Rouge Cabernet Sauvignon	This would be a superb wine at three times the price, offering far more in flavor, texture and stability than most anything in its price class. Deep aromas of blackberry, peppercorn, woodspice and oregano lead from the nose into a rich palate that's lush but bone dry. Flavors of blue and red fruit are dusted in espresso and baking spice, finishing on a chocolate note. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2026-03-03
2021	Decibel	Red Blend Gimblett Gravels ‘Testify’	Inky in color, this blend of Malbec and Syrah has all the ripe, rich, hug-in-a-glass qualities you'd expect from the combo of these varieties. The pepper-sprinkled ripe dark berry fruit is etched in toasty, chocolate notes. Still quite primary and plump, it's a classic steak wine, but should gain more complexity with another several years in bottle.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
2024	Floriography	Blooming White	Floral aromas emerge on the nose of this blend made from aromatic white grapes like Chenin Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier, among others. It shows mild citrus and herbal flavors with moderate freshness lifting the palate. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
