2015	La Ciarliana	Vigna Scianello Vino Noble di Montepulciano	Steeped prune, leather, pipe-tobacco and forest-floor aromas lead the nose.

2016	La Fond	Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir	Intriguing aromas of red cherry, mulberry, turned earth and rainy gravel show on the nose of this bottling by one of the region’s earliest pro-ducers.

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
