NV	Jean Laurent	Brut Blanc de Noirs	Being in the Aube, it is inevitable that Pinot Noir would feature heavily in its range. Five vintages have gone into this finely balanced wine with its touches of ripe apples and taut texture. This Champagne is ready to drink.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2020-10-21
2018	Domaine de la Pauline	Sancerre 'Les Montachins'	With that extra year, this wine is now at its best. Ripe white fruits are balanced by a generous layer of acidity that has softened into rich spice and a rounded aftertaste. It is ready to drink.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2020-10-21
2018	Morgan	Chardonnay 'Highland' Santa Lucia Highlands	Stony aromas of crisp nectarine, taut pear and chalk cut through the nose on this bottling. The palate is texturally engaging, fresh and chalky, offering lively flavors of Asian pear, lemongrass and Makrut lime leaf, with just enough broadness in the midpalate to please many.

2017	Lumos	Pinot Noir ‘Temprance Hill’ Eola-Amity Hills	This limited production reserve mixes ripe strawberry and tangy pie cherry fruit, with well-integrated highlights of earth and herb. It’s balanced and detailed, with the possibility of aging nicely over the next half decade or longer.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2020-10-21
2019	Ilurce	Garnacha Rose 'Rio Madre'	A fruity rosé with sliced-peach, light plum and some green-apple aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with just a touch of tannin in the texture. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2020-10-20
2015	Rocca di Castagnoli	Chianti Classico Riserva 'Poggio a' Frati'	A Chianti Classico with serious density and richness. Yet, this remains fresh and energetic. Medium to full body, a solid core of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	94		2020-10-20
2018	Morgan	Sauvignon Blanc Monterey	This is a brilliantly bright and fresh bottling, starting with lime-zest, crushed stone and cut grass aromas. The palate is zesty and zippy, loaded with lemon, grass and green-herb flavors, while a passion fruit splash lands on the finish. Editor's Choice	Wine Enthusiast	91		2020-10-20
2016	Keenan	Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley	Keenan's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is powerful and a bit rough around the edges although it is certainly not lacking in character. Dark red cherry, savory herb, earthiness, tobacco and cedar add to the wine's somewhat rustic personality, and yet there is more than enough depth in the fruit to balance things out. Medium to full in body, but very much classically built the 2016 has so much to offer, especially for readers who can look past a few small blemishes.	Vinous	91		2020-10-19
2015	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino	The Elia Palazzesi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers savory and warm aromas with forest floor and button mushroom alongside black fruit, toasted almond, leather and tobacco. There is a very distant animal-like tone that becomes more or less noticeable depending on the serving temperature of the wine. Besides that slightly rustic note, this wine follows a classic Sangiovese profile for Brunello. The mouthfeel is soft, silky and polished—a nice accompaniment to a classic Tuscan soup with cannellini beans and toasted bread. About 12,000 bottles were released.	Wine Advocate	90		2020-10-15
2015	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino stands out thanks to the very glossy and polished quality of the fruit on display. The smooth texture of the wine sets it apart and gives it a distinct personality. This expression drinks nicely out of the gate but could stand up to more cellar aging, especially to further finesse that silky, shiny texture. Some 21,500 bottles were made.
