NV	Jean Laurent	Brut Rose	This rosé Champagne is light garnet in hue, with a lively bead and expressive flavors of steeped strawberry, mandarin orange peel, dried thyme and a hint of sweet smoke. Chalky on the finish, this would pair well with food; try it with salumi and cheese or even richer game or grilled meat. Disgorged January 2020. Drink now through 2024.	Wine Spectator	90		2021-10-06
NV	Jean Laurent	Brut Blanc de Blancs	Crisp acidity frames a ripe profile of dried apricot and candied pink grapefruit peel flavors in this balanced blanc de blancs. Offers fine, satin-like texture, and a subtle streak of salinity that chimes in on the mouthwatering finish.	Wine Spectator	90		2021-10-06
2019	Morgan	Chardonnay 'Highland' Santa Lucia Highlands	This vintage showcases the unique attributes of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. The 2019 cuvée includes 51% fruit from our Double L estate, the balance from outstanding neighbors in the SLH. This focused, elegant Chardonnay features aromas of lemon custard, vanilla wafer, and sea spray, complemented on the palate by a light touch of crème brûlée, graham cracker, and salted butter toffee.

NV	Jean Laurent	Brut Blanc de Noirs	A mouthwatering Champagne. Offers hints of fennel seed and mandarin orange peel accenting cherry and raspberry fruit flavors, carrying through to the smoke-laced finish on the lively bead. Disgorged January 2020.	Wine Spectator	90		2021-10-06
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO'	Tre Bicchieri 2022	Tre Bicchieri			2021-10-05
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO'	La Fiorita's 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Fiore di No shows a saturated and nicely enriched presentation with dark ruby highlights. Compared to the estate's classic Brunello, this special selection offers increased concentration and density with blackberry and cherry highlighted by spice, campfire ash and grilled herb. The fruit for this wine comes from three sites: the best part of Pian Bossolino, Poggio al Sole and Giardinello. But like the other wine, Fiore di No has that distinctive sweet spot with cherry, candied orange and sweet baking spice. This limited 3,200-bottle release is characterized by brightness, linearity and increased focus.	Wine Advocate	95+		2021-10-05
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO'	This has sophisticated aromas of fresh and dried blackberries, lavender, cloves and porcini mushrooms. It’s full-bodied with such richness to the fruit and a deep center palate. Firm, ultra fine tannins with dried-flower and spice character. Great length, too. Drink from 2023.

2018	Marziano Abbona	Barbera d'Alba 'Rinaldi'	The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Rinaldi is a soft, plush forward wine. In 2018, the Barbera d'Alba Rinaldi is packed with jammy fruit and comes across as a bit rough around the edges. Plum, black cherry, spice, lavender and licorice complement the bright acids.

2017	Mannucci Droandi	Chianti Classico Riserva 'Ceppeto'	There’s a pleasant, mushroomy edge to the ripe red fruit here. Notes of fine herbs and spice, too. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Some cedar and toasted herbs come through. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2021-09-30
2018	Mannucci Droandi	Chianti Classico 'Ceppeto'	Black fruit and cooking spice on the nose. A fruity but savory, medium body with fine, firm tannins. There’s salty and mineral character here, too. Toasty finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2021-09-30
