2022	Arnaud Combier	Premieres Gouttes	Already bottled, the 2022 Premières Gouttes reveals a vivid purple/ruby hue as well as gorgeous black raspberry, violets, sappy herbs, and hints of pepper on the nose. Medium-bodied, pure, elegant, and layered, it's a beautiful, seamless effort with tons to love.	Jeb Dunnuck	91		2023-08-29
2019	Lornano	Chianti Classico Riserva	Plummy fruit with a well-judged stream of oak through this medium-bodied riserva. Some vanilla flavors come through on the palate, but this remains balanced overall and smooth. The tannins are well-integrated and the bright, plummy fruit picks up again on the finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	92		2023-08-29
2022	Meadowcroft	Pinot Noir Anderson Valley	Sporting a medium ruby core with a light brick red rim in the glass, the 2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir from Meadowcroft has a lovely nose of red raspberries, dusty earth, milk chocolate, toasted walnuts, and shades of orange zest. Easy drinking and very fruit-forward, it is one of those wines you can enjoy chilled at the pool's edge on a hot summer day.	International Wine Report	91		2023-08-28
2020	Meadowcroft	Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder	With a glimmering dark purple core with a light brick-orange rim in the glass, the 2020 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of blue plums, boysenberry pie, sweet baked vanilla, toasted cinnamon stick, and new leather. The palate gifts additional notes of cassis, licorice root, and forest herbs. Grippy tannins need a year or so to soften, but the lovely acidity helps finish things off nicely.

2021	Meadowcroft	Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley	Boasting a dark purple and garnet core with a fluorescent red rim in the glass, the 2021 Meadowcroft Cabernet Sauvignon sports notes of baked plums, blackberry coulis, cassis, bitter herbs, new leather, and cedar forest. Tannins are grippy but sweet, while the ample acidity brings a nice black-fruit-forward finish.	International Wine Report	91		2023-08-28
2020	Carol Shelton	Zinfandel 'Wild Thing' Mendocino County	Notes of raspberry jam combines with a zesty, briary structure in this Zin, which also serves up roasted sage and green peppercorn flavors. The tannins firm up the finish. Drink now through 2029. 8,007 cases made. From California. One of Wine Spectator's 12 Outstanding Value Wines for Labor Day	Wine Spectator	90		2023-08-28
2020	Nicodemi	Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari'	The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Notari is dusty and floral yet also a bit coy, showing just glimpses and violet and black cherry. It's more lively on the palate, with dark red and blue fruits complicated by sweet spice and inner florals. This tapers off with chalky tannins, leaving a dusting of violet candies and lavender hints. Give the 2020 some time to develop its aromatic profile fully.	Vinous	90		2023-08-25
2021	Morgan	Double L Vineyard' Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands	Shimmering medium ruby and garnet core with a neon pink rim, the 2021 Double L Vineyard Pinot Noir spends 10 months in 40% new French oak barrels. Wonderfully aromatic on the nose with notes of huckleberry, sweet allspice, bay leaf, dried red rose petals, and tilled earth. Tannins are silky smooth alongside the mouthwatering acidity and medium body, creating an outstanding Pinot Noir that I highly recommend.	International Wine Report	95		2023-08-24
2018	Two Hands	Bella's Garden Shiraz	Hints of roasted meat and vanilla accent black cherries and blackberries on the nose of the 2018 Bella's Garden Shiraz. Medium to full-bodied, plush and creamy, yet with enough silky tannin on the finish to give it shape and sense of structure, this is a super introduction to what looks like a terrific Barossa vintage.	Wine Advocate	93		2023-08-22
2022	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Rose 'Vielles Vignes'	All Cinsault from a single estate in the Languedoc, the 2022 Cinsault Rosé is light and fresh, with bright orange blossom and dried strawberry fruit in its medium-bodied, silky, elegant profile. It's nicely balanced, has good acidity, and a clean finish.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
