2017	Keuka Spring Vineyards	Riesling	A well-concentrated nose of fennel pollen, saffron, honey, white flowers and pine gives this semisweet Riesling intense complexity. It is luscious and enveloping on the palate, built by juicy orchard- and tropical-fruit flavors, yet framed by tangy acidity and delicate tea-like astringency. Editors’ Choice.

2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	Within Alain Voge’s spectacular lineup of wines, Les Chailles suggests a fresher, more youthful expression of Cornas, highlighting pristine, primary blackcurrant and cherry flavors. Whispers of leather and an intense granitic backdrop, however, confirm the producer’s trademark complexities. Enjoyed now, it’s vibrant and freshly fruited but should gain greater mineral and savory complexities through 2036.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2019-07-09
2015	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Layers of charred meat, granite and anise lend complexity to blackberry and cherry on the nose of this wine. Despite the ample fruit it maintains an earthen, mineral undertone and long finish with ripe, persistent tannins. This riveting wine should open and meld over the next decade and hold further.

2016	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Skeins of graphite and smoke provide an alluring introduction to this seductively fruity, concentrated Syrah. Blackberry and mulberry flavors are vibrant yet concentrated, spiced with black pepper, leather and olive, edged by fine, supple tannins. Irresistible already, the wine will improve through 2040.

2015	Dunham Cellars	Cabernet Sauvignon XX Columbia Valley	Stylish barrel-fermentation nuances with meaty notes and dried plums that lead to a fleshy, silky and supple palate that offers velvety tannin texture and richness of flavor at the finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	92		2019-07-08
2018	Pursued By Bear	Blushing Bear Rose	Fresh pears and hints of orange rind here that lead to a palate that has salty mineral tang and dialed-in, light berry flavors. Gently creamy finish. 50% mourvedre, 30% grenache and 20% cinsault. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2019-07-08
2016	Pursued By Bear	Baby Bear Syrah	A fragrant and easygoing brand of syrah that has an array of biscuit spices with everything from flowers to berries and bacon fat in the offering. The palate has a very plush, deeply saturated feel with a wealth of ripe dark plums and berries on offer. Handy balance and sustain. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2019-07-08
2016	Pursued By Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon	A dark, brambly feel to the nose with bracken and leaves, interspersed with red and dark berries. The palate has a smooth and gently grainy edge that delivers mulberry and poached-plum flavors with sinewy, woody punch. Drink in the next six years.	James Suckling	91		2019-07-08
2018	Ryan Patrick	Rosé	This has quite creamy, berry-pastry aromas with spiced-custard nuances and buttery complexity, leading to a palate that offers a smooth and creamy, round feel. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2019-07-08
2018	Pursued by Bear	Blushing Bear Rose	Mouvedre makes up half of this wine, with the rest 30% Grenache and 20% Cinsault. The aromas intrigue, with notes of citrus rind, herbs, star fruit, strawberry and sprice. Broad-feeling, well-balanced, mouthwatering fruit flavors follow. The acidity keeps the interest high.
