2014	Bodega Cuarto Dominio	Chento Single Lot Malbec	A malbec with loads of fruit and so much dark berry and blueberry character. Full body, light tannins and a crisp finish. Very lively. Lots of tar and dark fruit flavors. New wine from here. Only 20% new wood. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2018-11-01
2012	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	Dark flavors of plum and blackberry give this red a modern feel. Spice and tobacco notes chime in. Polished, ending with serious grip. Best from 2020 through 2032. 600 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2018-11-01
2012	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	I am impressed by the La Fiorita 2012 Brunello di Montalcino, although my impression is that this wine will be best enjoyed within the next five to ten years when the primary fruit is still intact. I say that because the primary fruit is indeed impressive with luscious, dark and succulent characteristics. This Brunello opens to a very dark color and rich concentration. The aromas burst from the glass with happy intensity. The mouthfeel is layered and rich in a similar manner. The wine surrenders easily to those who want to enjoy it immediately.

2012	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	Plum, espresso, French oak and a balsamic note herb emerge on this full-bodied red. On the chewy palate, notes of vanilla and licorice accent a core of mature black cherry alongside the warmth of evident alcohol. Firm close-grained tannins leave a grippy finish.

2017	David Arthur	Chardonnay	The 2017 Chardonnay reveals scents of ripe Bosc pears, peach preserves and honey-drizzled apricots with hints of buttered popcorn, allspice and fennel seed. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played and wonderfully savory with lovely texture and a spicy finish.	Wine Advocate	91		2018-10-31
2014	Keenan Winery	Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard	The 2014 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard is plump, juicy and inviting. Dark stone fruit, tobacco and leather are sketched in broad strokes. Pliant and open-knit, the 2014 will drink well pretty much upon release. This, too, is very nicely done. The Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard emerges from estate vineyards on Spring Mountain.

2014	Keenan Winery	Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard	The 2014 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard has traditionally been one of the top Merlots made in Northern California. Beautiful deep black cherry and blackcurrant fruit with some spice box and earth jump from the glass of this dense ruby/plum colored wine. It is rich, medium to full-bodied, pure, textured and serious. This is a beauty to drink over the next 12-15 years.	Wine Advocate	93		2018-10-30
2015	Boutinot	La Cote Sauvage Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne	Focused, featuring raspberry and boysenberry pâte de fruit notes carried by a graphite spine, with flashes of fruitcake and red licorice skittering through. Frankly ripe, but with freshness for balance. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. Drink now through 2022. 3,333 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2018-10-30
2015	Boutinot	Les Coteaux Schisteux Cotes du Rhone Villages Seguret	Inviting, with a mix of blueberry, raspberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors scored with a licorice note on the finish. A light-handed apple wood note gives this a frame. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2022. 3,333 cases made.	Wine Spectator	91		2018-10-30
