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.

2016	Trentadue	La Storia Cabernet Sauvignon	This wine is well made and satisfying, opening in a bright sanguine nose of iron and leather. The midpalate is lengthy and graceful, offering a succulence of cassis and black cherry.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-07-08
2018	Perusini	Sauvignon	Light yellow. Showing scents of pear and fresh thyme, the Sauvignon is dense and mineral like on the palate with herbal, almond and orchard fruit notes on the palate. An original wine that hits the happy medium between the green Sauvignons of New Zealand and the riper Sauvignons of California. Rich extract and thick chalky minerals on a lingering finish.	i-Wine Review	90		2019-07-02
2018	Perusini	Ribolla Gialla	Light yellow straw. The Ribolla Gialla is similar to the Pinot Grigio with its pronounced minerality, but it’s a more intense, flavorful wine. Aromas of flowers and herbs give way to flavors of nectarine and peach with a lemon edge. The finish is long and pleasant. A wine that could be paired with a wide range of light fare; excellent with Julia Child chicken breast. Ribolla Gialla is like Picolit another historic variety that is enjoying growing popularity today. It’s commonly made as a sparkling wine.	i-Wine Review	90		2019-07-02
2016	Perusini	Refosco	Dark red. Perhaps Italy’s most under-rated grape, Refosco offers rich flavors and freshness in a relatively low alcohol red. This medium weight wine reveals blackberry and black cherry fruit on the nose and palate with fine, firm tannins on a long finish. A lovely, easy drinking wine with real character. There are many Refosco varieties, but the Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso, named after its red stalk, is especially popular in Friuli. Genetically, it’s the father of the Veneto’s Corvina grape used to make Amarone.	i-Wine Review	91		2019-07-02
2016	Perusini	Etichetta Nera Merlot	Revealing mocha-scented plum and berries on the nose, the Merlot is softly textured on the attack with sweet, expansive fruit flavors and suggestions of mulberry and crushed plum. A medium weight, easy drinking wine with restrained sweetness, velvety tannins, and good length. Aged in French oak.	i-Wine Review	90+		2019-07-02
