2019	Nekeas	Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 'Vega Sindoa'	Pale yellow. Fresh pear, orange and tarragon scents take on a hint of sweet butter with air.

2018	Nekeas	Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa'	Deep garnet. Mineral-tinged cherry, raspberry, vanilla and exotic spice aromas show excellent clarity and take on a smoky nuance with air.

Shows impressive energy and florality on the persistent finish, which is given shape by polished, even tannins.	Vinous	92		2021-06-22
2017	Dunham	Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXIII' Columbia Valley	Blackcurrants, dried herbs, chili chocolate and hazelnuts on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Integrated spice notes, layered with dark fruit and leaves. Delicious and balanced. Better in two or three years.	James Suckling	93		2021-06-22
2018	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	A rich and polished nose of plums, baked blueberries, cedar, milk chocolate and lavender. It’s full-bodied with a beautifully plush and creamy texture.

2017	Andrea Oberto	Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata	With fruit from La Morra, where this winery is located, the Andrea Oberto 2017 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is dark and enriched, all thanks to the heat and dry growing conditions of this growing cycle. You taste the extra fruit power and concentration with baked cherry and blackberry. The mouthfeel is textured and rich, imparting more muscle than grace at this point. That appears to be a common trait found in Nebbiolo from 2017. Only 3,900 bottles were made.	Wine Advocate	92		2021-06-21
2018	Chateau Brondeau du Tertre	Château Brondeau du Tertre	This smoothly textured wine has ripe black-currant fruits and a polished character. Wood aging has given the fruit tones a heightened elegance that will stand the wine in good stead as it matures. Drink from 2022. Editors' Choice	Wine Enthusiast	91		2021-06-21
NV	Sabate i Coca	Brut Reserva Rosat 'Castellroig'	Marcel Sabate makes this wine at his family estate, blending garnacha, trepat and xarel-lo in this pale-salmon-pink sparkler. It’s light and crisp while the bubbles are explosive, the effervescence limiting the flavor to tart Mandarin orange. The wine becomes luscious with air, yielding scents of orange blossoms and a clean purity of flavor as you work your way through the bottle.	Wine & Spirits	90		2021-06-21
2020	Raza	Vinho Verde 'Raza'	Arinto (50 percent) and azal (35 percent) are two grapes that perform well in the Basto district of inland Vinho Verde. Blended here with trajadura, the combination is refreshing and green-apple bright, with juicy green-pear flavors lasting in the finish. The plentiful acidity and clean depth of fruit will take on pork with clams. Best Buy	Wine & Spirits	91		2021-06-21
