2020	Bhilar	Graciano 'Lagrimas de Bhilar'	The peppery and floral 2020 Lágrimas de Bhilar Graciano is expressive, showy and approachable, with a soft texture and a caressing mouthfeel with some fine tannins. A lot more serious than the price suggests. It's 13.5% alcohol and has very good acidity. 10,000 bottles were filled in January 2021 after one winter in concrete tank.	Wine Advocate	91		2022-07-18
2021	Commanderie de la Bargemone	Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose	Bright, onion-skin color. Fresh and incisive on the nose, displaying red berry, citrus fruit and floral qualities and subtle mineral and spice flourishes. Juicy and sharply focused, putting forward lithe strawberry, blood orange and honeysuckle flavors that deepen through the back half. Finishes long and silky, with the red fruit and floral notes lingering.	Vinous	91		2022-07-18
2021	Commanderie de la Bargemone	Rose Marina 'Collection' Coteaux d'Aix en Provence	Limpid orange. Displays expansive, spice-tinged redcurrant, cherry and blood orange scents, along with suggestions of pungent flowers and fennel. Bright and penetrating in the mouth, offering intense, mineral-laced red berry, citrus pith and honeysuckle flavors that smoothly blend concentration and litheness. Finishes impressively long and precise, with the blood orange and mineral notes repeating.	Vinous	93		2022-07-18
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
2021	Di Giovanna	Camurria Orange	Clay and peach with a savory palate gives this grape a new life	VinePair	91		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.	Wine Spectator	93		2022-07-06
2019	Isabel Estate	Pinot Noir	This is on the dense, rich side by Pinot standards, but is balanced and food friendly. It leads with supple black cherry, plum, chocolate, medicinal herbs, black pepper and warm tarmac aromas. A zing of acidity buoys the succulent fruit. Spicy tannins keep a firm grip right to the finish. Drink now with protein until 2029.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-07-05
