2018	Foris Vineyards	Pinot Noir Rogue Valley	Deep, shimmering magenta. Expressive red and blue fruit aromas take on a smoky nuance with air. Silky and energetic on the palate, showing good depth to the gently sweet black raspberry, mulberry and spicecake flavors. Supple tannins lend shape to a long, smooth finish that echoes the red fruit note.	Vinous	90		2020-08-05
2016	Marziano Abbona	Barolo Pressenda	A transparent red with raspberry and citrus undertones and hints of flowers. Full-bodied, yet tight with beautiful, pure fruit and firm tannins. There’s an orange-peel undertone to the wine. Some nuts, too. Needs two or three years to come together. Better after 2022.	James Suckling	93		2020-08-05
2018	Marziano Abbona	Nebbiolo d'Alba Bricco Barone	A solid nebbiolo with cedar, dried strawberries with hints of balsamic. It’s medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2020-08-05
2018	Chiappini	Bolgheri 'Felciaino'	A tight, focused red with blackcurrants, minerals and some fresh-herb character, such as sage. Medium body, tight and firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Just a hint of wood at the end. Blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink in 2021.	James Suckling	92		2020-08-05
2017	Chiappini	Bolgheri 'Guado de' Gemoli'	A ripe, flavorful red with dark berries, currants and chocolate. Some walnuts, too. Full-bodied, layered and fruity. A little simple, but enjoyable. Blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	91		2020-08-05
2016	Marziano Abbona	Barolo	A firm, silky red with tight, fine tannins that have some strength. It’s medium-bodied, layered and pretty. Consistently outstanding. Drink after 2022.	James Suckling	93		2020-08-04

2016	Di Giovanna	Rosso 'Helios'	Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the wine shows dark fruit richness together with toasted spice, smoked game, tapenade and roasted hazelnut characters.
