2021	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	The black fruit aroma is a mix of tart blackberries and sweet, ripe damson plums, all backed by puffs of dark chocolate and wet concrete. Flavors like black cherry and black tea are spiced with cardamom and pepper. The wine’s acidity buzzes softly, pairing with velvety tannins to create a satiny texture. This bear is a dinner table necessity, especially if roast beef is involved. Editor’s Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-08-18
2021	Nicodemi	Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The 2021 Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto is smoky in the glass with a burst of savory herbs, balsamic spice and dried black cherries. It's silky-smooth with an elegant wave of ripe red and blue fruits that slowly saturate. Violet inner florals amass toward the close. The 2021 displays incredible balance, finishing gently tannic and potently long, leaving a tinge of licorice and the mouth watering for more. The Cocciopesto is refined for one year in amphora made of crushed bricks, sand and clay. As enjoyable as it is today, plenty of cellar potential is also packed within.	Vinous	93		2025-08-18
2023	Eola Hills Wine Cellars	Pinot Gris Willamette Valley	With its aromas of tangerines and a batch of fresh-picked carnations, this Pinot Gris is like aromatherapy in wine form. The light-bodied wine’s green apple and cinnamon flavors are tart and spicy, but its acidity is softer than I was expecting. I might try this Pinot Gris with a fresh goat cheese salad. Best Buy.

2022	Nicodemi	Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari'	The nose opens savory and smoky, then turns sweet with sugar plums and milk chocolate. The palate stays sweet with blackberry compote and blueberry jam, alongside dark chocolate with a sprig of mint, while chalky tannins and vibrant acid provide structure. A great expression that gives a taste of all the many sides of Montepulciano.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-08-18
