NV	Nomadica	Red Blend	This wine is made from the medium-bodied and somewhat spicy Teroldego grape. Native to northern Italy, this variety is rarely seen outside its home region, but this boxed wine from California fully embraces its vibe. When you tap the box and take your first sip, you’ll feel the need to toss the stemware to the side and grab a juice glass like the old-guard Italiani used to do. (Maybe rock a tank undershirt with a bay leaf behind your ear — or was that just my family?) It’s incredibly juicy with ripe, brambly berry notes and some more savory characteristics like earth and spice. It has a soft, plushy palate with acidity that screams “pizza per favore!”	VinePair	91		2023-02-08

2018	Alain Brumont - Montus	Madiran	Grown on steep slopes where clay and pebbles have washed down from the Pyrenees, this wine blends tannat (80 percent) with cabernet sauvignon. Alain Brumont ages it in French oak barrels, a majority of them new, creating a wine that makes no concessions to early drinking. In fact, the wine’s interest lies in its tannins as they slowly grind along the tongue like a millstone. That structure almost seems to sideline the whole-plum flavors, intensifying them in your cheeks. Two days of air bring some clarity to the fruit, but does nothing to soften those tannins, suggesting this could age for another five years or a lot longer. Pop the cork when the demi-glace starts reducing and pour your glass when you’re glazing the pasta.	Wine & Spirits	93		2023-01-30
