Graciano 'Rio Mazos' |
Also all Graciano, the 2018 Rio Mazos is a deeper, richer wine offering classy notes of cassis and blackcurrants as well as sandalwood, candied violets, and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate, it has ripe, supple tannins, a good sense of freshness, and outstanding length. A beautiful, elegant expression of Graciano, it should keep for a decade. |

Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa' |
A lovely garnacha with sweet blue fruit, fine spices and some flowers. Taut and juicy with tight but polished tannins. Lots of flavors, but not hefty. On the contrary, this is nimble and elegant. Drink or hold. |

Garnacha Blanca '25 Vendimias' |
Lots of nectarines and white pears on the nose with hints of stones. It’s quite pristine and dry with some limey, white fruit on the palate and a mineral twist in the linear finish. Crystal clear. Drink now. |

Merlot ‘Mailbox Vineyard Reserve’ Spring Mountain District |
Aromas of hot stone, rose petal, ground spice and ripe red cherry. Medium-to full-bodied with velvety tannins. Very fruity and generous on the palate. Subtle spice here, too, but it ends rather fresh. Nicely composed. Drink or hold. |

Ocean Road |
Sauvignon Blanc |
Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of melon balls, sliced apples in greek yogurt, grapefruit peel, and wheat grass with a silky, bright, fruity medium body and a graceful, long finish imparting suggestions of spiced green apple and pear, grilled pineapple, and coconut water with no oak flavor. A juicy and flavorful Sauvignon Blanc sipper to reward yourself with after a long summer day. Gold Medal |

Dal Maso |
Pas Dosé Riserva Metodo Classico (Lessini Durello) |
Bone-dry and savory, this stunning sparkler opens with heady aromas of white spring blossom, citrus, botanical herb and crushed stone. Reflecting its volcanic origins and high-altitude vineyards, the racy, pristine palate has great mineral tension that underscores ripe pear, Myer lemon, green melon and almost salty mineral notes before closing on a hint of honeyed almond. Crisp acidity keeps it energized while a refined perlage lends impeccable finesse. Editors' Choice |

Crisp and pristine, this vibrant, focused sparkler has delicate aromas of hawthorn, white stone fruit and citrus. Racy and bone-dry, the savory, gleaming palate delivers juicy Meyer lemon, Anjou pear, saline and a hint of bread dough. Tiny, persistent bubbles provide the elegant backdrop. |
