NV	Domaine du Moulin	Gaillac Methode Ancestrale Mauzac Brut	Nicolas Hirissou farms his vines organically, fermenting this mauzac in the ancestral method, with the fermentation finishing in the bottle. It’s a sparkler amped up by leesiness, with notes of stewed apple and spice. Faint kumquat flavors and floral notes give it delicacy at the end of its surprising length.	Wine & Spirits	91		2021-08-23
2020	Saint Roch les Vignes	Cotes de Provence Rose	From a cooperative in Cuers, this is a restrained, elegant rosé. A blend of equal parts cinsault and grenache, it feels very Provençal, a smooth sea of strawberry, almond, lemon blossom and thyme flavors. It ends with a pleasant bitter note, a sign that it will hold its own with food.	Wine & Spirits	92		2021-08-23
2016	Barao De Vilar - Proeza	Douro Red	Álvaro van Zeller makes this wine from Douro Superior grapes, a blend of touriga franca, tinta roriz, tinto cão and tinta barroca. The flavors burst with blueberry freshness and a crush of strawberries, the fat sweetness of the fruit tended by green notes of peppercorn and basil. A supple and happy Douro red.

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	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
