Vinho Verde Colheita Selecionada Arinto 'Dom Diogo' |
This full, fruity wine is ripe with pear and kiwi flavors. Spice and touches of pepper add complexity to a wine that has fine concentration. Everything is resolved at the end with a final burst of citrus acidity. Drink now. Best Buy. |

Verdejo 'Nisia Las Suertes' |
Oily, slightly flat aromas of straw and soft white fruits lead to a full but melony palate. Oaky apple and papaya flavors suggest popcorn. This old-vine, oak-aged Verdejo is steady on a finish, with salty baked notes. Drink now. |

Ramirez de la Piscina |
Gran Reserva |
Earthy berry aromas are a touch spicy, with notes of violet, graphite and unabsorbed oak. This wine feels full and chunky but not heavy or overly extracted. Berry and plum flavors are ordinary and the wine finishes solid enough. Drink now–2025. |

Marziano Abbona |
Barolo 'Pressenda' |
Earthy aromas of leather, truffle and black-skinned berry come together in the glass. The savory, full-bodied palate offers juicy blackberry, tobacco and clove alongside firm, refined tannins. Drink 2023–2035. |

Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley |
A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre, this wine is a touch reduced out of the gate, with notes of white strawberry and watermelon rind underneath. The palate is broad in feel. It has great stuffing with plenty of enjoyment once it opens up. Don’t forget to feel the label. |

Riesling 'Lewis Vineyard' Columbia Valley |
A full two-plus years in, the aromas offer notes of petrol, lime zest, green apple and flower. Well-balanced, off-dry citrus and apple flavors follow with more than ample acidity to tie it all together. Editors’ Choice. |

Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXIII' Columbia Valley |
The aromas provide immediate appeal, with notes of raspberry, mocha, sweet spice, dried herb and currant. The palate is chockfull of ripe, plump, flavorful fruit and plentiful barrel accents, with tannins so soft you might think it were Merlot. It’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. Editors’ Choice. |

Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley |
Vanilla, baking spice, coconut and cocoa aromas are in the lead. They are followed by dark cherry and plum flavors that show saturation and intensity. It hangs on the finish and there’s tannic heft behind it all. Editors’ Choice. |

Garnacha 'Cepa por Cepa' |
A see-through ruby color and aromas of Band-Aid, savory baked beans and berry fruits set up a punchy, edgy palate that’s medium to light by Navarran Garnacha standards. Plum, currant, baking spice and chocolate flavors finish with a touch of burn. Best Buy. |

Andrea Oberto |
Barolo Albarella |
A full-bodied red with sweet, ripe-plum and black-cherry aromas and flavors, together with hints of vanilla and crushed brazil nuts. The tannins are fine and firm, but provide no real barrier to the intense fruit flavors that push through the long finish. For that it’s tempting now, but better to wait two to three years. Try from 2023. |
