Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
2016	Lornano	Rosso Toscana 'Commendator Enrico'	Very attractive character of cherries, blueberries and flowers. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. Tight and layered. Nicely done. Needs time to come together. Try after 2023.	James Suckling	93		2021-08-23
2018	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	Well-structured and tightly focused yet generous, with blackberry, tapenade and savory anise tones that finish with refined tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2028. 7,686 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2021-08-20
2019	Boutinot	Cotes du Rhone Villages 'Les Coteaux'	A singed mesquite note leads the way in this offering, with gently mulled cherry and plum fruit following along. Sanguine and red tea notes line the slightly taut finish. Drink now through 2023. 8,700 cases made, 1,600 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	90		2021-08-17
2019	Di Giovanna	Grillo 'Helios'	A concentrated and sophisticated grillo with a lovely combination of Amalfi-lemon and herbal freshness and some textural richness. Long, salty-mineral finish. Enough depth and energy to mature for several years in bottle. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	92		2021-08-17
2019	Di Giovanna	Nerello Mascalese 'Vurria'	Plenty of red cherry, plus notes of pomegranate and rose give this nerello mascalese red a lot of appeal. But, true to the grape's personality, this is a fresh and dry red that's very straight and invigorating. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	91		2021-08-17
2019	Di Giovanna	Nero d'Avola 'Vurria'	The big and bold blackberry and plum nose with touches of cinnamon and allspice make this a prototypical nero d'avola, but the dry and moderately tannic palate has clear contours and good balance. Positive, supple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	91		2021-08-17
2019	Pietro Caciorgna	Etna Rosso 'Guardoilvento'	An unusually silky Etna red with bright red-fruit and orange-zest character. Attractive, gentle tannins on the medium-bodied palate, building nicely at the finish, where there's quite a bit of chocolate. Lacks the bite we expect from a high-end wine from this appellation. Drink now.	James Suckling	92		2021-08-17
2020	Pietro Caciorgna	Etna Bianco 'Guardoilvento'	An immediately appealing Etna dry white that's brimming with white-peach and persimmon aromas. Full-bodied and silky on the palate, but also very crisp and slightly salty at the finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2021-08-17
2017	Pietro Caciorgna	Etna Rosso 'N'Anticchia'	Striking nose of burnt field stuble and sage with underlying red berries. On the medium-bodied palate there are some nice tannins that give the front and mid palates a positive shape, but the caramel character dominates the short finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2021-08-17
2008	Champagne Thiénot	Brut ‘Cuvee Alain’	Now properly mature, this ripe wine has great toastiness as well as a tight texture and minerality. Dominated by Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, the blend is taut, with beautiful acidity and elegance. Drink now.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2021-08-09
