2019	Ryan Patrick	Redhead Red'	Dark cherry, hay and fir-tree needle aromas are joined by a trace amount of lavender-scented baby powder. The wine’s viscous texture makes it seem like its black cherry and black tea flavors are navigating a Wham-O Slip ‘N Slide. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2023-01-17
2020	A Mano	Fiano-Greco	A play between salty and spicy, the nose on this Fiano blended with Greco is a savory journey from tamales to jalapeños to baked clams with a squeeze of lemon. Yellow apple and lemons take over on the palate, deepening into lemon candy with a salty-rubbery note on the back palate. Enough acid to carry it through the finish line. Best Buy.

2020	Rocamadre	Criolla Uco Valley	Aromas of tart cherry and raspberry are subtle on this light-bodied red. Coming from Uco Valley, it features a subtle mineral texture. Tart cherry and pomegranate flavors are bright on the mid-palate and extend to the finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2023-01-17
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Ian D’Agata’s Great Italian Wines of 2022	TerroirSense Wine Review	95		2023-01-16
2019	Ryan Patrick	Rock Island Red' Columbia Valley	Aromas of blackberries, fresh blueberries, licorice and lavender. Full-bodied, peppery and savory, with tight-grained tannins. Not the most complex, but balanced. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	90		2023-01-16
2019	Ryan Patrick	Redhead Red'	A fresh and fruit-forward nose with ripe berries, dried orange peel, chocolate and moist earth. Juicy and crunchy with a medium body and racy tannins. Attractive and flavorful. Drink now. Screw cap.	James Suckling	90		2023-01-16
NV	Stel+Mar	Proprietary Red Blend	Using the best grapes from select vineyards in California, this Bordeaux-style red blend is bursting with flavors of plum, blackberry, baking spices, and vanilla. A full-bodied wine that is jammy with velvety tannins.	Tasting Panel	91		2023-01-16
2019	Nicodemi	Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari'	The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Notari impresses with a vivid bouquet, mixing blackberry preserves, freshly rubbed sage and hints of ash. It’s texturally deep with velvety textures that wash a dense wave of ripe black fruits across an energizing core of juicy acidity. Through it all, a coating of fine tannins slowly collects, resulting in a youthfully structured yet long finale where hints of licorice and violet florals mingle throughout.	Vinous	92		2023-01-16
2019	Two Hands	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Sexy Beast' McLaren Vale	Dense, almost sinewy tannins set the stage for this rustic red, with blueberry and wild blackberry flavors and dark-brewed tea details. Aromatic grace notes of dried rose petal and rosemary add some charm, as does the harmony on the finish. Drink now through 2035. 10,000 cases made, 4,500 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	92		2023-01-16
2018	Marziano Abbona	Barolo Ravera	The 2018 Barolo Ravera is the most savory and mineral-driven of the three 2018 Barolos I tasted from this report. Dried flowers, mint, crushed rocks, sage, tobacco, incense, fallen autumn leaves and pipe tobacco lend quite a bit of aromatic breadth to this deceptively mid-weight, driving Barolo. Readers who appreciate aromatic subtlety will find plenty of that here. A few years in bottle should help soften the searing tannins.	Vinous	93		2023-01-12
