2017	Dunham	Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXIII' Columbia Valley	The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon XXIII from Columbia Valley is a stunning new bottling by the talented Dunham winemaking team. Ripe red cherry and dark currants mingle with sagebrush and tar tones in the glass. The palate is chewy and plush, showing a silky mouthfeel and a wonderful sense of texture. Ripe cassis, anise and tobacco leaf tones mingle with minerals, dark-chocolate-covered cherry, graphite and smoky undertones. This has some great aging potential.	Vinous	93		2022-03-23

2020	Pacific Redwood	Syrah	This serious, dark and tannic wine is nevertheless sleek and well-balanced. It emphasizes blackberry, wood char and 90% cacao flavors, so it’s slightly on the grippy, bitter side, but shows how good certified organic wines can be. Best Buy. #21 of Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Best Buy Wines for 2022	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-03-22
2018	Donati	Red Blend 'Claret' Paicines	Subtly integrated aromas of roasted strawberry and charcoal show on the nose of this blend of all five major Bordelaise varieties.

2019	Castaing	Cotes de Bourg	This wood-aged wine is smoothly textured, with a streak of fresh black-currant flavors. The wine is structured and freshened with acidity. Drink from 2023. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-03-22
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Sables de la Crau'	There’s a distinct perfume and delicacy of texture to Châteauneuf-du-Pape sourced from les sables, the region’s famed sandy soils, and this bright-fruited, satiny red is no exception. Bold in concentration and primary in raspberry and red-plum flavors, it’s an elegant Grenache marked by feathery tannins and a thrilling lift of minerality. Delicious now, the wine should drink well through 2030 at least. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-03-22
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige'	This powerful, fruity red balances Grenache’s rich, sunny plum and preserved-strawberry flavors against the peppery sharpness and angularity of Mourvèdre. Concentrated and creamy on the palate, it’s a weighty sip layered in fine but persistent tannins. Approachable young, the wine should drink well through 2027 at least.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2022-03-22
