Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
2019	Marziano Abbona	Nebbiolo d'Alba 'Bricco Barone'	Lovely balance of rich berries and creamy but vibrant spice here, together with a balanced, medium-to full-bodied palate and spicy fruit coating the medium, lightly firm tannins that never get chewy. Long, flavorful finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	92		2022-02-16
2017	Marziano Abbona	Barolo 'Pressenda'	Very nutty on the nose with clean raspberry undertones. Medium-bodied with firm but yielding tannins, allowing the fresh fruit to travel through the finish. Nice focus to this. Starting to be approachable, but better from 2023.	James Suckling	92		2022-02-10
2019	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Maclura Cotes du Rhone	The full range of exciting Southern Rhone aromas, from graphite to raw meat to black cherry, pour from the glass of this youthful wine. Concentrated and well structured, but already so accessible, thanks to the well-crafted, fine tannins, this is a standout wine in the humble category. Long, supple finish with savory and spicy notes. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2022-02-10
2019	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Rocheaux' Chehalem Mountains	Bright ruby. Mineral-accented raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by building floral, baking spice and cola nuances. Juicy and tightly wound on entry, offering bitter cherry and red fruit flavors that deepen and turn sweeter through the back half. Dusty tannins lend grip to a long, smoky, penetrating finish that echoes the mineral and floral notes.	Vinous	93		2022-02-10
2019	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Cote Est' Chehalem Mountains	Dark, shimmering red. Fresh red fruits, candied flowers and succulent herbs on the spice-accented nose. Nicely concentrated yet lively as well, offering spice-laced black raspberry, bitter cherry and rose pastille flavors that turn sweeter on the back half. Displays an appealing blend of depth and delicacy and closes long and smooth, with harmonious tannins and lingering spiciness.	Vinous	92		2022-02-10
2019	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Diversite' Chehalem Mountains	Dark garnet. Aromas of juicy red and blue fruits, succulent herbs, rose and baking spices and a smoky mineral nuance. Gently sweet and energetic on the palate, offering raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors and a spicy touch of white pepper. Shows fine definition and solid cut on a long, floral-tinged finish framed by sneaky, even tannins.	Vinous	92		2022-02-10
2019	Morgan	Cotes du Crows' Monterey	A lovely Rhone-style blend that is a combination of 62% Grenache, 29% Syrah, 5% Tempranillo and 2% Cinsault that is aged for 10 months in 7% new French oak barrels with the rest neutral. Black raspberry, blue plum, ground white pepper, and a touch of smokey meat create a wine with medium body, medium tannins and a warm, solid finish. Enjoy this wine now or over the next 4-5 years.

2017	Morgan	Chardonnay 'Double L Vineyard' Santa Lucia Highlands	Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. This wine has more of the steely minerality that many Chardonnay aficionados relish. Aromas of petrichor, cold steel, lemon curd and brioche. Very classy in the mouth, with lemon-driven flavor and a hint of honey and blonde caramel. Soft and soothing in texture, with exceptional acidic drive, culminating in a quenching, lemony finish. This is a California Chardonnay that will please many white Burgundy geeks.	PinotFile	95		2022-02-04
2017	Marziano Abbona	Barolo 'Pressenda'	Very nutty on the nose with clean raspberry undertones. Medium-bodied with firm but yielding tannins, allowing the fresh fruit to travel through the finish. Nice focus to this. Starting to be approachable, but better from 2023.	James Suckling	92		2022-01-31
2017	Marziano Abbona	Barolo Ravera	Aromas of flowers, red berries and savory, spicy notes follow through to a medium to full body with a bead of very fine-grained tannin that is really tightly wound. Firm finish that needs to soften. Try from 2024.	James Suckling	92		2022-01-31
