2020	I Custodi	Etna Rosso 'Aetneus'	The 2020 Etna Rosso Aetneus smolders up with a darkly floral mix of mentholated black cherries, dried violets and ashen stones. Silken textures, cooling acidity and ripe wild berry fruits wash across the palate. A saturation of minerals and fine tannins amass toward the close. Built for the cellar, this finishes long and structured with a resonance of sour citrus and lavender pastille. The 2020 is a gorgeous rendition of I Custodi's Aetneus.	Vinous	95		2025-08-27
2022	Lornano	Chianti Classico	Restrained red cherries, leafy citrus character and fresh violets. The attack is supple and juicy with velvety tannins and brisk acidity. Medium- to full-bodied, it shines with pulpy fruit. Harmonious. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2025-08-26
2022	Jolete	Pinot Noir 'Le Verre Cuvee' Willamette Valley	Aromas of cherries, strawberries, dried leaves and subtle spices. The palate is light and fresh, with soft tannins and a simple, fruit-driven finish. Easy and approachable. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2025-08-26
2021	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	High-toned and textured like its cousin Twin Bear, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is softer in tannins, but equally worth attention. Textured, complex, and savory, it has dark, deep layers of full-bodied black fruit at its core and a lasting note of iron and oak. Age 10-15 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	96		2025-08-26
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
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
2023	Domaine Philémon	Gaillac Rouge Braucol	Packed with red-berry flavors and juicy acidity, the wine is immediately attractive. Its raspberry aroma and open texture mean the wine is ready to drink. Organic. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-08-18
2024	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Rose 'Vielles Vignes'	Despite light cherry notes it is a bit more neutral and direct in style. Simple and straightforward. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-08-18
2022	Nicodemi	Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The nose is primarily savory, with aromas of preserved lemon, wild oregano, white peach and tea leaf, while the palate sweetens slightly with honey, lemon, iced tea and salted almonds. Textured, substantial–a gastronomic wine, as the Italians love to say.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-08-18
2018	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva'	On the nose, earthy, cool aromas of damp top soil and coffee grinds are balanced by crunchy, barely ripe berries and just a hint of vanilla. The berries turn sweet and ripe on the palate and are joined by bergamot, before the earth tones reemerge. Acid bounces around tannins that are polished, but clingy.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2025-08-18
