2019	Decibel Wines	Giunta Malbec Nouveau	For this lighter style, the Malbec colour is quite a dark purple. The nose is fresh with deep electric violets, plums and hints of fresh dill, dusty tamarillo and fruit cocktail. The front palate is lush with a punchy, bright mid palate. The finish lingers with a bit of black currant, Rose hip that is very refreshing. Overall the wine is soft up front, crunchy in the middle and bright and fresh on the finish.

2016	Decibel Wines	Testify Red	Fleshy plum, five spice and rich tamarillo on the first breath. The nose evolves into savoury notes with a light cassis aroma. The palate is structured straight through with dusty, drying tannins and lengthy dried tea notes. After first taste, the wine evolves into a fuller, rounder palate with distinctly Gimblett Gravels angular tannin structure built to last for many, many years.	Wine Orbit	93		2019-10-25
2016	Cedric Parpette	Cote Rotie Montmain	Opaque ruby. Lively, mineral- and smoke-accented blueberry, cherry and olive aromas pick up floral and incense accents with air. Sweet, energetic black and blue fruit and violet pastille flavors open up steadily on the back half. In a juicy, appealingly forward style, showing a vibrant mineral quality that adds cut to an impressively long, floral-driven finish.	Vinous	92		2019-10-25
2016	Decibel Wines	Testify Red	Floral, peppery and fine, with loads of black cherry and cassis fruit, the 2016 Testify Malbec is a solid effort. It's medium to full-bodied but tight and focused, showing excellent length, while the tannins are fine-grained and streamlined, framing the fruit and pushing it forward to extend the finish. I wouldn't be surprised to see this reach the 10-year mark in good shape.	Wine Advocate	91		2019-10-24
2013	Marziano Abbona	Pressenda Barolo DOCG	Smoke, tar, licorice, dried herbs and shades of dark fruit give the 2013 Barolo Pressenda its brooding, virile personality. A wine of muscle and staying power, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. There is more than enough depth to the fruit to make me think the 2013 will drink well for many years to come. This is a gorgeous wine from Marziano Abbona.	Vinous	94		2019-10-24
2014	Decibel Wines	Martinborough Pinot Noir	Baked Cherry Pie and toasted nuts oscillate the nose with hints of earthy mushrooms and grainy raspberry that will develop as the wine ages. Rosemary, sweet tobacco, bing cherry, wet leaves, red currant, and hints of violets and bay leaves all contribute to the complex and alluring nose of this wine. The palate is vibrant and crunchy in its youth with slightly edgy ‘minerality’. The wine has a medium body with a bit of white pepper, spice and dusty tannins on the finish.

2014	Decibel Wines	Martinborough Pinot Noir	Silky and plush, this medium- to full-bodied Pinot Noir features a delicate interplay of cinnamon and clove with cherry and pomegranate. It glides easily to a long finish, picking up a hint of bacon or wood smoke along the way. Drink now–2023. Editors' Choice	Wine Enthusiast	92		2019-10-22
2016	Dunham Cellars	Trutina	Refined and expressive, with floral blackberry, orange peel and tobacco notes that build tension toward polished tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2024.	Wine Spectator	90		2019-10-22
2014	Decibel Wines	Martinborough Pinot Noir	Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Single Vineyard Martinbrough Pinot Noir gives fragrant notes of lavender, dried Provence herbs and fallen leaves with a core of cranberries and red currants. Medium-bodied, it is elegantly fruited with great freshness and lift for the leafy / herbal character, nicely complimenting the fruit, finishing long with a nice chewy grip.

2016	Chateau Castaing	Cotes de Bourg Rouge	Fruity while still firmly structured with tannins, this is a concentrated Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon. It shows the ripeness of the vintage in its juicy black fruits and generous, smoky texture. Drink the wine from 2021.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-10-21
