2017	Col Vetoraz	Cartizze di Valdobbiadene DOCG	Col Vetoraz is one of the only wineries located in Cartizze, where glera vines cling to steep slopes at elevations up to 1,300 feet, where clusters ripen under intense sunshine, developing rich flavors of mango and peach along with subtle spice notes. Cool evenings preserve crisp acidity that, along with the wineries pearly texture and bright saline notes, balances the lush fruit flavors and brings the wine to a refreshing finish.

2017	Keuka Spring Vineyards	Riesling	On the dry side of semi-dry, this riesling may leave you wondering where to fix your attention: on the passion fruit accents, the assertive lemon-lime scents, or the wheaty savor that frames it all? The flavors are graceful and a touch creamy from the risidual sugar, but the apple skin finish renders any sweetness a memory, unless the wine is served with something mildly spicy, like Japaneese curry.

2018	Chateau de Pampelonne	Legende Rose Cotes de Provence	Marie Pascaud made this special cuvee to commemorate the formation of Les Maitres Vignerons de St- Tropez, a coalition of ten estates. A selection of cinsault, and grenache from 100 year old vines on the Ramatuelle hill, it's a savory rose, with notes of herbs and flowers accenting the delicacy of it's pale fruit. Its power lies in the texture, at once airy but substantial, which holds the flavors long.	Wine & Spirits	92		2019-08-01
2015	Keenan Winery	Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Spring Mountain District	If you're looking for a cabernet with exceptional track record, consider that Michael Keenan's Reserve has earned 94 points or more in every vintage since 2011. This 2015 is close to that level, a tarry, concentrated cabernet from 17 year old vines at Keenan's Big K vineyard, high up Spring Mountain, with a small contribution of cabernet franc. It's intensely spicy, with coriander, anise and red pepper pricking the wine's dark earthiness. The fruit emerges over the course of several days, adding a taste of fresh-picked cherries in the midst of the black extract. It's zesty and racy, with the energy to age, and the flavor concentration to repay patient cellaring.	Wine & Spirits	93		2019-08-01
2016	Lava Cap Winery	Petite Sirah	This is a pure and focused wine that’s uncomplicated by too much oak or overripeness. It offers dark, dense concentrated black fruit flavors of the variety on a firm, tannic texture. It's built for aging and should be best from 2023-2030.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2019-08-01
2016	Lava Cap Winery	Merlot	This robust and flavorful wine is scented with cigar box and dark chocolate. The palate adds in a black cherry flavor for a big and complex array of facets to savor. A full body and firm tannins give it good structure and its concentration is intense enough to deliver a lingering finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-08-01
2018	Bodegas Sierra Salinas	Mo	A primary-fruited style with violet reduction and raspberries. Bright and fruity, this is reminiscent of Beaujolais and quite enjoyable. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2019-07-29
2018	Dominio de Eguren	Protocolo Rosado	This is creamy and very pretty with sliced-strawberry and apple character. Medium body. Clean fruit. Flavorful finish. Tempranillo and bobal.	James Suckling	91		2019-07-25
2018	Dominio de Eguren	Protocolo Rosado Organic	This is a tight and well-made rosé with creamy, strawberry and light strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Delicious finish. Shows character and finesse. From organically grown bobal grapes.	James Suckling	92		2019-07-25
