2017	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	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-06-06

2017	Rocca di Castagnoli	Chianti Classico Riserva 'Poggio a' Frati'	Bright cherry and raspberry fruit is the signature of this tightly wound red. Mineral, tobacco and rosemary accents add depth, and the vibrant structure keeps it all defined. Beautifully balanced and long, echoing the ripe fruit. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Best from 2023 through 2037.	Wine Spectator	93		2022-05-25
2016	Rocca di Castagnoli	Stielle Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione	An electric, complex red, exhibiting black cherry, black currant, iron and tobacco flavors, encased in new oak that's overwhelming, not only in terms of toasty, spicy flavors, but with another layer of tannins. Nonetheless, there's so much going on here that this finds an equilibrium in the end. Best from 2024 through 2040.	Wine Spectator	94		2022-05-25
2018	Morgan	G17 Syrah	Lively aromas of black raspberry jam on French toast, dark hibiscus, tar and lavender show on the cool-climate nose of this bottling, which includes 3% each of Grenache and Tempranillo. The palate is vibrant with flavors of pepper, lavender and lilac, set against the richer black-raspberry and black-plum backdrop.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-05-25
2017	Morgan	G17 Syrah	This extremely bright Syrah shows the influence of newish winemaker Samuel Smith, who brings a crystallized focus to the variety, starting with aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry, asphalt and rosemary blossom. The palate is very floral, with candied lavender, lilacs and violets, and the red fruit is snappy and fresh. White pepper adds spice. Editors' Choice	Wine Enthusiast	92		2022-05-25
2019	Morgan	G17 Syrah	Hooray for cool climate Syrah! Dan Lee's team gets it right here, delivering black and blue berries, orange zest, meat, soft pepper and clove aromas and flavors over bright acidity and supple grip that keeps the flavors coming. I can't say enough good things about Morgan these days.	WineReviewOnline	93		2022-05-25
