2019	Stel+Mar	Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi	This elegant, easy-sipping wine offers ample black-cherry and black-plum flavors, good balance and a touch of tartness in the mouthfeel. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2022-01-24
2018	Fairvalley	Pinotage	This wine starts off a bit reserved in character, though with time it reveals aromas of baked plum, cherry and blackberry coupled with licorice, tobacco leaf and light char, as well as a hint of pressed violet. It’s bold and flavorful on the palate, where the aromas carry straight through to the lingering finish, shaped by velvety tannins and lingering earthy spice tones. Best Buy.

2018	Canon Chaigneau	Canon Chaigneau	Lots of pretty red fruits, white chocolate, flowers, and cured meat notes emerge from the 2018 Château Canon Chaigneau, which is medium-bodied and has a silky, seamless texture, impressive tannins, and a great finish. This smoky, complex, beautifully textured Lalande de Pomerol is going to keep for 10-12 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	91		2022-01-18
2015	Marziano Abbona	Barolo Ravera	There is a bright core of cherry and currant fruit underneath the hard exterior of this taut red. Iron, tobacco and tar notes join the party as this cruises to a lingering conclusion. Finds a nice equilibrium in spite of the stiff tannins. Best from 2023 through 2040. 570 cases made, 75 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	92		2022-01-17
2016	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino 'Le Pope'	A firm, silky red with lots of chewy tannins, as well as blueberry, blackberry and chocolate character. It’s full and tight with lovely presence and intensity. Give it three or four years to soften. Better after 2023.	James Suckling	94		2022-01-11
2015	Punset	Barbaresco Basarin Riserva	This is tasting beautifully now with strawberry, cedar, and hazelnut character. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins that need to soften. But very pretty already. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years. Try after 2024.	James Suckling	92		2022-01-10
2020	Punset	Barbera d'Alba	Fresh and fruity with sliced orange peel to the pomegranate and raspberry flavors. It’s medium-bodied, bright and delicious. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2022-01-10
2018	Meadowcroft	Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder	Dark plums, mulberries, dark chocolate and sweet spices on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Round and fruity with a chewy yet fresh finish. Drink from 2023.	James Suckling	91		2022-01-10
2019	Keenan	Merlot Napa Valley	The 2019 Merlot is a very pretty wine. This charming, light-bodied Merlot is pretty easygoing, but it offers a good deal of nuance in the classic style Keenan fans expect. The 2019 is not terribly complex but it is quite tasty.	Vinous	90		2022-01-10
2019	Keenan	Merlot 'Mailbox Vineyard Reserve' Spring Mountain District	The 2019 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard is a powerful, savory wine. Dried herbs, lavender, spice, menthol and tobacco hit the palate, followed by searing tannins that lend quite a bit of presence. If the fruit emerge, the 2019 might merit a more optimistic review, but now, the 2019 is very tight and youthfully austere. It will be interesting to see what time brings.	Vinous	93		2022-01-10
