2022	Chono	Carmenere 'Single Vineyard' Colchagua Valley	A balanced bouquet reveals aromas of eucalyptus and a sweet note of ripe cherries. Firm tannins and good acidity provide structure, supporting notes of green bell pepper and red fruit. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-11-17
2023	Col Vetoraz	Valdobbiadene Prosecco Brut	This is hillside Prosecco that shows why site matters. It’s from one of Valdobbiadene’s steeper slopes and arrives with something of a real presence. Crisp green apple and white peach get lifted by a chalky mineral streak that speaks of those limestone soils. Bubbles have precision rather than just fizz, making this more dinner party material than a mimosa mixer.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-11-17
2020	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	The umami, peppery nose pops with aromas of cigar wrapper, black pepper, wild herbs, crushed stones, and black plum. Blackberries enhance the black-plum element on the palate, while undertones of earth and more herbs provide balance. Tannins are dense and solid.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-11-17
2022	Lobster Reef	Pinot Noir	Prominent red-berry fruit—along with more subtle orange peel, clove, and ground pepper nuances—leads to a palate that’s light weight, with tart acidity and slightly bitter, cherry-pit finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-11-17
NV	Bailly Lapierre	Cremant de Bourgogne 'Reserve'	Enticing aromas of bread dough, brioche, and apple tart flatter white peach, orange blossom, and white flower on the nose. The palate presents fresh fruit, green apple, and lemon zest that play with chalky acidity on the finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-11-17
2023	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Beautiful ripe apple, honeyed white flowers, and baking spice define the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée Blanc, and it picks up a certain Riesling-like mineral and petrol nuance with time in the glass. It's beautifully textured, medium-bodied, has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish. This is a classic, beautifully pure, clean white with tons of character. I love it today, yet this should have a solid decade or more of overall longevity. Drink 2025-2035.	Jeb Dunnuck	93		2025-11-13
2024	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige' Rouge	Ultra-classic stuff from the galets roulés of le Bois de la Ville, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Prestige is based on 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, partially destemmed, and aged 12 months in 10% new French oak with the balance in concrete. Black cherries, leather, graphite, and peppery garrigue define the aromatics, and it's perfumed, expressive, and complex. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, round, and wonderfully textured, with outstanding length on the finish, this gem in the vintage will deliver the goods for 10-12 years. Roughly 500 cases produced.

2024	Domaine du Pegau	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvee Reserve'	Tasted out of foudre, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée is more focused, inward, and chiseled, with beautiful aromatics of darker fruits, violets, and pepper. This medium-bodied, pure, concentrated effort has ripe, building tannins and a great finish. It could easily be a match for the 2004, which was one of the best wines in the vintage.	Jeb Dunnuck	93-95		2025-11-13
2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Offering more orchard fruits, minty herbs, mineral, and a similar subtle hint of petrol, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée Blanc is medium-bodied, supple, beautifully textured, has nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It needs a year in bottle and will have a solid 10-15 years of prime drinking. It's cut from the same cloth as the 2023 but is perhaps a touch more chiseled and focused. Drink 2026-2040.	Jeb Dunnuck	93		2025-11-13
2021	Domaine du Pegau	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvee Reserve'	Ultimately spending four years in barrels, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Laurence is made with the idea of being upfront, open, and ready to go on release. It reveals spice, garrigue, and saddle leather nuances that are very charming, forward, and appealing. Medium-bodied, seamless, and complex, it's a beautiful wine that's going to check all the boxes for you traditional Châteauneuf du Pape lovers out there.	Jeb Dunnuck	91-93		2025-11-13
