2020	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley	There's lots to admire in this compact red, which offers dense, firm tannins and accents of Earl Grey tea, smoked paprika, bay leaf, blackberry, blueberry and a hint of sweet mint on the finish. Drink now through 2036.	Wine Spectator	91		2022-05-09
2019	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley	Very rich, open-knit aromas here with ripe raspberries and blackberries given full voice. The palate’s silky mouth feel carries plenty of blackberry and dark-plum flavor. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	91		2022-05-09
NV	Stel+Mar	Rose	This is a beautifully dry wine with peach and apricot aromas, hints of strawberry on the palate with refreshing acidity and herbal undertones. Enjoy with good food and good friends.	Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada	91		2022-05-09
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Tradition' Rouge	Royer's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is a beautiful blend of 85% Grenache, with 5% each Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Resiny, herbal notes of rosemary and pine join red raspberries and cherries upon the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, creamy and lush. Supple but concentrated, this strong, almost entirely tank-aged effort finishes long, with ample intensity.	Wine Advocate	93		2022-05-06
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige'	A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre from a classic galets roulés terroir (le Bois de la Ville), Royer's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige matured in older demi-muids, but it still shows hints of clove, cedar and mocha. It also easily marries resiny, herbal notes with black cherries and blackberries, making for plenty of complexity. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it finishes long, with a velvety feel and ample tannins. I'd give it a few years in bottle, then drink it over the following decade. Tasted blind, I didn't detect any alcoholic heat, although I note that the submission materials state that it's 16.6% alcohol.	Wine Advocate	94+		2022-05-06
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape ‘Les Sables de la Crau’	A 100% Grenache cuvée emerging from a sandy sector of La Crau, Royer's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Sables de la Crau features wonderfully pure aromas of red raspberries, accented by hints of vanilla. It's full-bodied and concentrated, boasting remarkable freshness on the palate, finishing long but also dusty and tannic, with plenty of cellaring potential.	Wine Advocate	94+		2022-05-06
2019	La Fiorita	Rosso di Montalcino	Aromas of red-skinned berry, forest floor and spice lead the way. The savory palate features juicy red cherry, star anise and clove alongside velvety tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2026.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-05-03
2020	St. Urbans-Hof	Riesling QbA 'Nik Weis Old Vines'	Flavors of tart tangerine and yellow cherry penetrate throughout this light-footed yet mouth-drenching off-dry Riesling. Zippy in acidity yet plump and pulsating with fruit, it’s delicious in youth but concentrated enough to drink well through 2028	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-05-03
NV	Lindemans	Peche	Sweet peach ring candy aroma appears first and is given depth from a more earthy, yet still candied peach flavor. Funky yeast adds a floral character to the beer with a nutty malt lightly perceivable in the background. Finishes sweet, but not cloying, inviting another sip.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2022-05-03
NV	Lindemans	Kriek	Visually vibrant dusty purple with a thin head that laces the glass, this kriek is a lovely combination of tart black cherry and sweet red cherry candy. Lively carbonation keeps the fruit dancing on the tongue. Slight yeast funk adds umami to the glass before finishing dry.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-05-03
