2019	See Saw	Chardonnay	This is an affordable, energetic modern Aussie Chardy from the cool climes of the Orange region of New South Wales. There’s lovely tension on the nose. It’s high toned but with subtle fruit, a copper penny tang and an underbelly of ground ginger, freshly squeezed lemon and peach juice, vanilla bean and a dried herbal note. The tension carries through to the palate. It’s lean but not mean, focused less on oak or lees character and more on tingly acidity and juicy fruit. One to please both the Chard and the Pinot Grigio lovers in your life. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2021-03-16
2019	See Saw	Pinot Noir	This is an easygoing and affordable example of modern, cool climate Aussie Pinot. Ripe red berries bounce from the glass, followed by quieter aromas of florals, baking spice and a slight mushroomy savoriness. The palate is light to medium in weight, fleshy and round, but with a tug of savory tannins holding it all together. Knock back slightly chilled, with or without food.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2021-03-16
2019	Domaine Yves Cheron	Gigondas 'Cuvee Jurassique'	Jurassique refers to the Jurassic-era limestone and marl soils from which this fragrant 70/30 blend of Grenache and Syrah originates. Unoaked and luminous in fruit quality, it’s a full-bodied, supple wine packed with black-currant and cherry flavors etched by cooling minerality. Delightful young, the wine should gain more earthen, herbal complexities as it improves through 2030. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2021-03-16
2019	Domaine Yves Cheron	Vacqueyras 'Cuvee Jardin d'Eden'	Cassis and boysenberry flavors are ripe yet vibrant in this fruit-focused wine. A blend of Grenache and Syrah, it’s full bodied but spry, finishing on a revitalizing mineral crush. Silky, integrated tannins make it approachable now but the wine should drink well through 2030. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2021-03-16
2019	Domaine Yves Cheron	Cotes du Rhone 'Les Dentelles'	This perfumed 75/25 blend of Grenache and Syrah shares the same blossomy, fresh-fruited demeanor of Yves Cheron’s more expensive Southern Rhône wines. It’s a full-bodied, silky sip, with ample black-cherry and plum flavors edged by burnt caramel and a refreshing mineral lift. Soft in tannins and forward in fruit, it’s an immediately enjoyable wine that should drink at peak through 2024.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2021-03-16
2018	Domaine Yves Cheron	Cotes du Rhone 'Les Dentelles'	Violet and lavender perfume this full-bodied, silky blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. A juicy, pertly balanced red, it finishes on soft, satiny tannins and a lingering vein of granite. This lovely wine is best enjoyed young but is likely to hold through 2025. Best Buy.

2015	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Dark-skinned fruit, forest-floor and leather aromas shape the nose. The savory palate offers Marasca cherry, licorice and ground pepper alongside polished tannins. Drink 2022–2027.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2021-03-16
2016	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino	This opens with aromas recalling black-skinned fruit, Mediterranean scrub and tobacco. The savory palate offers dried black cherry, licorice and ground pepper alongside polished tannins. Drink 2023–2031.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2021-03-16
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	Enticing aromas of menthol, ripe dark-skinned fruit, new leather and sandalwood lead the way. Boasting a heady combination of power and finesse, the full-bodied palate doles out ripe black cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and tobacco framed in firm, velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps the richness in check. Drink 2024–2036.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2021-03-16
2016	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO'	Enveloping and delicious, this fragrant red opens with aromas of ripe plum, baking spice, blue flower and an earthy whiff of new leather. Full bodied and concentrated, it also has an almost weightless grace and poise, delivering succulent black cherry, fleshy raspberry, star anise and cinnamon before an espresso close. Fine grained tannins provide polished support. Drink 2024–2031.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2021-03-16
