2014	Valderiz	Tomás Esteban'	A fragrant nose of blackberries, blackcurrants, toast, roasted walnuts and baking spices. Full-bodied with firm, chalky tannins. Structured and layered with a rich, chewy finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2022-08-25
2017	Andrea Oberto	Barolo	Red berries and cherries with hints of sweet vanilla, almost honey, and some flower petals. Full-bodied, round and silky with firm, fruit and spice-coated tannins and a long, savory finish. Needs time to integrate. Try from 202	James Suckling	93		2022-08-25
2019	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Cote Est' Chehalem Mountains	The 2019 Pinot Noir Cote Est Pinot Noir is from the cooler eastern-facing blocks of the Le Cadeau Vineyard and was raised for 11 months in 38% new French oak. It is expressive with the perfume of lavender, cinnamon, and sweet cherry. The spicy perfume continues on the palate, with notes of dried raspberry and herbs, medium body, and fine tannins. Drink 2022-2028.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2022-08-23
2019	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Rocheaux' Chehalem Mountains	Coming from the rocky western-facing blocks of the Le Cadeau Vineyard, the 2019 Pinot Noir Rocheaux emerges with notes of smoky incense, cedar, and cranberry. The palate is supple and inviting, with fresh raspberry, rose petal, and baking spice. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins, this charming wine will be a pleasure to drink now or over the next 5-7 years.

2016	Donati	The Immigrant' Red Paicines	This blend of merlot with malbec, petit verdot and cabernet franc smells of consommé and dark-red cherries, with a fleshy middle and dusty finish. For barbecue.	Wine & Spirits	90		2022-08-22
2013	I Custodi	Etna Rosso 'Pistus'	I Custodi's entry-level red is the beautiful 2013 Etna Rosso Pistus with fruit sourced from various points on the north side of the volcano. The blend is a traditional cut of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio and the wine sees no oak aging. I loved the vibrant freshness and fruity concentration of this wine. It opens to a luminous dark ruby color and an ambitious bouquet with bramble, spice, wild fruit, licorice and dark mineral. There is little fruit as most of the bouquet is occupied by ethereal volcanic tones. Stylistically speaking, this wine shows austerity and a masculine approach with tight, firm tannins. Pistus is a stubborn, but ultimately charming Etna Rosso.	Wine Advocate	90+		2022-08-22

2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	La Fiorita's 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva leaves a lasting impression that is due to the purity and the depth of aromas in part but is also due to the very high 15% alcohol. A little less alcoholic heat would be more conducive to the delicate and lifted aromas of Sangiovese. Fruit for the Riserva comes solely from the Pian Bossolino vineyard. This wine is instead all about brawn and muscle; as a result, you're best off serving it with a creamy dish like steak smothered in mushroom sauce. A mere 3,200 bottles are hitting the market now.
