2013	Mas d'En Gil	Coma Vella	The 2013 Coma Vella is a blend of Garnacha with 20% Cariñena and 10% Syrah from the Coma valley within the Mas d'en Gil property. It fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak vats, and the wine matured in 225-, 1,500- and 3,000-liter French and Austrian oak barrels and vats for one year. It's very classical and serious, without any excess, quite balanced, subtle, earthy and spicy. The palate is medium-bodied with some dusty, fine-grained tannins and some rusticity that provides character. 35,618 bottles were filled in May 2015.	Wine Advocate	92+		2018-11-09
2015	Mas d'En Gil	Bellmunt	The village red 2015 Bellmunt is produced with grapes from younger vines from deeper soils and shows sweet fruit. It's juicy, fresh and ripe without being jammy, as the palate is lighter than you think. It has a mixture of berries and a touch of orange peel that provide freshness. It's a blend of 60% Garnacha with 30% Cariñena and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Part of the wine is very lightly oaked in used 1,500- and 3,000-liter oak vats, while the rest was kept in concrete.

2016	Hentley Farm	Shiraz	Polished and generous, with flavors of dark chocolate and date bread and notes of dried violet, cumin and tobacco.

2014	Marziano Abbona	Barolo DOCG	A beautiful expression of cherry, strawberry, rose and light spice flavors is buoyed by dusty, linear tannins. Tense and energetic, with a long, resonant finish. Best from 2022 through 2040.	Wine Spectator	93		2018-11-01
2016	Le Cadeau	Red Label Pinot Noir	Refined and expressive, with black cherry, orange peel and violet aromas and well-built red plum and spiced cinnamon flavors. Drink now through 2024. 245 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2018-11-01
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
