2013 Rocca di Castagnoli Buriano Cabernet Sauvignon The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Buriano is powerful and unctuous in the glass. Inky and super-concentrated, the Buriano nevertheless retains tons of structure. Blueberry, vanillin, smoke, new leather and espresso infuse this deep, plush Tuscan Cabernet. Even with all of its intensity, the 2013 remains nuanced and full of class. What a gorgeous wine it is. Vinous 94+ 2019-03-15
2014 Rocca di Castagnoli Stielle Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione The 2014 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle is a positively stellar wine. Deep, powerful and explosive, but with tons of balance, the Stielle is simply magnificent in 2014. Black cherry, lavender, mint, tobacco and licorice add to a sense of gravitas in this super-concentrated, dense wine. Vinous 95 2019-03-15
2014 Rocca di Castagnoli Poggio a'Frati Chianti Classico Riserva The 2014 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio a'Frati is a powerful, virile wine. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2014 is quite imposing today. Iron, smoke, tobacco, wild red cherry and rose petal are enshrouded by a wall of potent, sinewy tannins and bright acids. A deep core of fruit lurks in the background, just waiting to emerge. This is a fabulous wine in the making. Vinous 92 2019-03-15
2016 Rocca di Castagnoli Chianti Classico The 2016 Chianti Classico offers a super-appealing combination of dense, pliant fruit and supporting structure. Succulent red cherry, white pepper, mint and dried flowers all flesh out in the glass. Ideally, readers should plan on cellaring the 2016 for at least a few years. This is a very serious wine.

2016 Morgan Winery Twelve Clones Pinot Noir The 2016 Pinot Noir Twelve Clones (aged ten months in 38% new French oak) offers ample black cherry, violet, and scorched earth aromatics, hints of background oak, medium body, and a beautiful fruit forward, balanced, layered style on the palate. It’s a winner. Jeb Dunnuck 93 2019-03-13
