Barker's Marque Wines |
Three Brooms Sauvignon Blanc |
While there’s nothing outside the box about this wine, it is classic Marlborough in all the best ways, finding balance and texture amid all the fruit and freshness. It opens with a pretty, perfumed nose of bright lime leaf, jalapeño and tomato leaf. The acidity is crisp and lifted but neatly harmonized by a chalky texture and juicy, citrusy fruit. |

La Griffe de l'Ource Blanc de Noirs Brut |
This textured wine shows tannins as well as ripe fruits. More than a decade on, it is still young, with a tight, taut character to balance the fruitiness. Drink this Champagne from 2021. |

Ramirez de la Piscina |
Reserva |
Ripe berry aromas are dark and oaky, with a welcome hint of black pepper. This Reserva from a marginal vintage impresses via a lush palate that’s generous and fruity. Spicy blackberry, graphite and toasty oak flavors finish with cassis and spicy oak notes. As ripe Rioja goes, this is performing; drink through 2025. |

Nicodemi |
Notari d'Abruzzo Montepulciano Teramane DOCG |
There’s enviable concentration on the nose of this wine, delivering plumes of dark cherry, plum, salt and tobacco. There’s power and verve to the thick-skinned berry fruit on the medium-bodied palate, built up by a sturdy frame of tannins and pushed along by a refreshing vein of acidity. |

Traslapiedra |
Malbec Paraje Altamira |
This natural style Malbec is fermented with native yeast and aged entirely in concrete. It’s lively on the nose in reedy wild berry and red currant aromas. The crisp, racy palate is jolting, while flavors of red plum, currant and cranberry lean spicy prior to a tight, focused finish. Drink now. |

Trentadue Winery |
OPR Sauvignon Blanc |
Fragrant, fresh herb aromas and a good, crisp texture give an assertive appeal to this medium-bodied well-balanced unoaked wine. It shows tons of varietal character in the scents of rosemary, parsley and thyme, and the bright citrus flavors. Best Buy. |

Morgan Winery |
Cotes du Crow's |
This blend of 66% Grenache, 31% Syrah and 3% Tempranillo is slightly effervescent in the glass at this young age, delivering aromas of red currant, hibiscus and crushed gravel. Cranberry and cherry meet with stony acidity on the zesty and fresh palate. Editors’ Choice. |
