2015	Cantina Plani Arche	Montefalco Rosso	Crushed black cherry, wild herbs, balsamic spice and hints of undergrowth come together to form a dark and moody bouquet on the 2015 Plani Arche Montefalco Rosso. On the palate, silky textures usher in fleshy ripe red fruit, as zesty acids add vibrancy, and a mix of sweet minerals and tannin slowly saturates the senses. The finish is long, teeming with energetic wild berry fruits and spice, with a twang of salty minerals contrasting a tug of grippy tannin. I find myself enamored of this wine and its unique blend which really shines through: 60% Sangiovese, 25% Barbera and 15% Sagrantino, all in perfect balance.	Vinous	92		2020-06-30
2019	Waiana Estate	Rose 'Summer Sault'	Fabulously elegant, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, crunchy apple, lemon peel and white floral aromas on the nose with a hint of sweet strawberry. It's juicy, lively and vibrant on the palate, delivering pristine fruit flavours together with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing delightfully long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2022.

2019	Chateau de Lancyre	Languedoc Rose	Previous vintages were sold as Pic Saint Loup, but I suppose production of the 2019 Languedoc Le Rosé has expanded. It's still a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Cinsault, with a medium-pink hue in the glass and attractive aromas of cherries, pineapple and grapefruit. It's full-bodied for a rosé—sitting at 14+% alcohol and showing some serious ripeness and weight on the palate—but it remains refreshing and lively on the citrusy finish.	Wine Advocate	90		2020-06-30

2014	Mountford Estate	‘Liaison’ Pinot Noir	Supple and elegant, featuring fragrant red licorice and sarsaparilla details, adding complexity to the core of creamy strawberry and maraschino cherry flavors. A hint of herb emerges on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2035. 832 cases made, 112 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	92		2020-06-23
2019	Chateau de Pampelonne	Cotes de Provence Rose	Limpid peach skin. Nervy and focused on the nose, displaying lively red berry and citrus zest aromas complemented by suggestions of succulent flowers and chalky minerals. Dry and lithe on the palate, offering juicy pomegranate, strawberry and blood orange flavors that pick up a spicy element on the back half. The mineral and floral notes come back strong on a very long, incisive finish that shows sharp delineation and no rough edges.	Vinous	91		2020-06-12
2019	Domaine de la Pauline	Sancerre Rose	Brilliant onion skin. Ripe strawberry, white peach and floral aromas are sharpened by a frisson of chalky minerality. Chewy and focused on the palate, showing good depth to the vibrant red berry and pit fruit flavors. Closes minerally and long, displaying strong, red-fruit-driven persistence.	Vinous	90		2020-06-12
2019	Pursued by Bear	Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley	A subtle, fruity blend of 62% grenache and 38% mourvedre that shows light cherry and apple character on the palate with bright acidity and a flavorful finish. Bright and lively. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2020-06-12
