2020	Domaine de la Pauline	Sancerre 'Les Montachins'	From a small parcel of vines, this wine is ripe, full of kiwi and apricot flavors cut with citrus. It is already balanced but will benefit from further aging. Drink from 2023.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-03-22
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
2019	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Tradition'	Whiffs of charred rosemary and thyme accent rich blackberry and cassis in this buoyantly fruity Grenache augmented by 5% each of Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Syrah. Although massively ripe, it maintains a fresh, juicy appeal unadulterated by new-oak influences, making it inviting young.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2022-03-22
2021	Lobster Reef	Sauvignon Blanc	Zippy lime and lemon zest mingles with peach and dried herbs on this fresh, everyday-drinking Sauvignon. There’s lifted but balanced acidity with subtle textural notes and a zing of citrus on the finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2022-03-22
2020	Barker's Marque	Sauvignon Blanc Blind River 'Arona'	This is an attractive, vibrant Sauvignon that offers heady aromas of passion fruit, black currant, tomato stem and grass. Acidity is borderline shrill in the mouth, but there’s just enough chalky texture and juicy lime and passion fruit flavors to bring it down to earth. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2022-03-22
2020	Decibel	Chardonnay Hawke's Bay 'Testify'	The 2020 Chardonnay Testify offers substantial concentration and a weighty core of savory fruit. It's a big mouthful of just-ripe Conference pears, beeswax, and hazelnut flavors. Despite its assuring core, the wine concludes with salivating acidity and a sense of texture that focuses the wine on the lengthy finish.	Vinous	92		2022-03-17
2019	Isabel Estate	Pinot Noir	A full-bodied, richly textured example thanks to the richer soils on the estate's southern borders. You can expect attractive aromas of violets, herbs and red cherries. There's a sumptuous veil of fine-grained tannins that coat the mouth and add sinew and a sense of purpose on the medium-length finish. If you were feeling intrepid, you could approach this now with a decent hunk of meat, but leave it for a couple of years to enjoy its evolution of flavor and tannin.	Vinous	91		2022-03-16
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	This is packed with succulent cherry, plum paste and blackberry fruit flavors that show hints of mulled spice, dried anise, singed tobacco and sweet tapenade as they move through. A mouthwatering mineral edge extends the lengthy finish. Cellar patiently, then serve with game for the full seduction. Best from 2024 through 2038.
