NV	Ca' Furlan	Prosecco Extra-Dry 'Cuvée Beatrice'	With a personality (and a mouthfeel) as frothy as taffeta, this fine value weaves white flowers around aromas of banana, honeydew, and the pear that reverberates on the palate along with golden apple. Nevermind the brunchtime juice mixers: It's charming enough on its own come apéritif hour.	Tasting Panel	90		2022-07-12
2021	See Saw	Sauvignon Blanc/Marsanne 'SAMM'	Orange wine from Australia. Justin and Pip Jarrett of See-Saw have made cool-climate organic wine for 25 years. And they make all kinds of cool wines from sparkling Chardonnay to skin-contact Gamay and Pinot Noir. And of course, this type of experimentation leads to orange wine. Smelling this blend of skin-contact Sauvignon Blanc and Marsanne is fun. You get a waft of grilled pineapple and a freshly sliced vanilla bean. The palate is refreshing with good acidity. There is some sediment in the bottle but don’t let that scare you, it's just part of the wine.	VinePair	90		2022-07-11

2014	Trabun	Syrah 'Soloist' Cachapoal Andes, Requinoa	The earthy 2014 Syrah is from the Trabun vineyards in Requinoa, in Cachapoal. It has a more austere character, as it was from a cooler zone, with notes of graphite and is closer to the texture of a Bordeaux than a Northern Rhône but with the aromatics of a Syrah. It's a serious red for aging in bottle. It matured in second use oak barrels for 15 months, and the oak is nicely folded into the wine. 4,600 bottles were filled in July 2015.

2015	Trabun	Syrah 'Soloist' Cachapoal Andes, Requinoa	The flagship wine here is the 2015 Syrah, a very pure, clean, varietal and defined example of how the grape can develop in Cachapoal. It's a little reticent and took some time to unfurl the varietal aromas of smoky bacon, violets and tar, always in a harmonious and elegant way. A great Syrah, with good freshness in a warmer vintage. I look forward to tasting the 2016 next time. 3,350 bottles were filled in July 2017.	Wine Advocate	93		2022-07-08
2016	Mas d'En Gil	Clos Fonta	A lively, enticing red, with a fragrant skein of graphite and exotic spice winding through flavors of black cherry and black plum reduction, minerally iron, licorice drop and dried lavender. Medium- to full-bodied and fresh, with firm, chalky tannins providing fine definition and chewy texture on the lasting finish. Grenache and Carignan. Drink now through 2031.

2017	Marziano Abbona	Barolo Ravera	Rose petal, forest floor and culinary spice aromas shape the nose. The elegantly structured, savory palate offers dried black cherry, tobacco and cinnamon alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2032.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2022-07-05
2021	Foris	Gewurztraminer	The aromas pop, with notes of grated ginger, flower, rose and pink grapefruit—classic Gewürztraminer. A medium-bodied, flavorful palate follows. Fruit flavors sail off into the distance. It’s impressive. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-07-05
2016	Aldonia	Garnacha '100'	Bright ruby to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of cassis, dried hillside herbs and black olive paste. It features flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, black tea, dark chocolate and pickled jalapeño. Substantial tannins coat the palate before evaporating into a spicy finish.

2020	Zoppi Cristina	Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato	Pronounced aromas of red rose mingle with leather, tilled earth, spice and truffle. On the savory palate, fresh acidity and chalky tannins accompany blackberry, Morello cherry, peppercorn and an earthy hint of game. Drink through 2025.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-07-05
