2015	La Perla	Valtellina Superiore 'La Mossa'	Red-berry, rose-petal, wet stone and menthol aromas form the fragrant nose, along with an earthy whiff of new leather.

2014	La Perla	Valtellina Superiore 'La Mossa'	Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this 100% Nebbiolo from the mountains has enticing aromas of wild rose, woodland berry, flint and alpine herb. Focused and all about elegance, the graceful palate offers strawberry, pomegranate, white pepper and a hint of clove set against polished tannins. Vibrant acidity keeps it balanced.

2016	Domaine du Moulin	Gaillac 'Cuvee Florentin'	One of the characteristic grapes of Gaillac, this Braucol from low-yielding vines is concentrated and now mature. The wine’s density and finely chiseled tannins are matched by its black fruits and mineral texture. Drink now.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2020-06-03
2018	Bailly Lapierre	Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc	This cooperative of about 430 growers is best known for its Crémant de Bourgogne, but it also makes a lovely St-Bris. The 2018 took a silver medal at the 29th Concours des Vins du Grand Auxerrois. Exhibiting delicate nuances of white flowers, its allure is immediate, and it dazzles with its bright stony impact. Wonderful acidity, especially given the vintage, makes it a pleasure to drink now – particularly with sushi.	Decanter	92		2020-06-03
2018	Tulocay	Chardonnay Napa Valley	Winemaker Brie Cadman coaxes briny, salty and citrusy freshness and complexity from the famous site, making for a light, bright and elegant resulting wine. Meyer lemon, green apple and just a tiny hint of oak provide ample body within a subdued ripeness.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2020-06-02
2018	Keuka Spring Vineyards	Riesling 'Humphreys Vineyard'	Ripe apple and pear aromas are lifted by a bright floral tone on the nose. There’s a pleasing rounded softness to the palate, most likely due to the partial fermentation in neutral barrel, with lifted elements of pine-dusted lemon and ripe orchard fruit filling it out. Waxy lemon peel and a bit of earthy spice frame the fruit well, giving a firm boundary to all that weight. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2020-06-02
2016	Maison Pagnotta	Meursault	Flinty reduction plays on the nose of this wine alongside earthiness. The palate rounds this out with yeasty richness that creates a smooth, concentrated texture. The rounded finish suggests lemon and buttermilk.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2020-06-02
