Cotes du Crows Monterey |
The aromas of this red blend are inviting, teeming with fresh-off-the-vine strawberries and bramble fruit, alongside hints of rose petals and blood orange. The oak is seamlessly integrated with a luxurious mouthfeel, crunchy red fruit, and an energetic charge from start to finish. |

Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa' |
Plums, warm spices, oranges and Mediterranean herbs on the nose of this full-bodied red. It’s rich, spicy and zesty, with bright acidity to balance. Fine, ripe tannins. Drink or hold. |

Original Sangre de Toro |
Ruby in color, aromas of black cherry and red currant lift from the glass. Velvety tannins kick off the palate cushioned by relaxed red fruit that sparkles with some concentration buoyed by freshness. Drink now. |

Godello |
The 2024 Godello from Valdeorras opens with melon, straw and pear aromas. It is broad and taut, with good tension and mouthfeel. The 2024 is ripe yet well made. |

Barbera d'Alba 'Rinaldi' |
The 2023 Barbera d'Alba Rinaldi is a tasty, forward wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Succulent red-toned fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco and new leather are nicely pushed forward. This delicious Barbera is all charm. |

Dogliani 'Papa Celso' |
The 2024 Dogliani Papà Celso is packed with blackberry, licorice, new leather, incense and camphor. As always, the flavors are dark and quite potent. The 2024 does not have the dimension of most years, but it is still a pretty rich, heady wine with a lot to recommend it. |

Barolo ‘Bussia’ |
Silvano Bolmida's 2021 Barolo Bussia is fabulous. Rich, complex and dynamic, the 2021 opens with macerated cherry, cinnamon, new leather, tobacco, incense and rose petal. I especially admire how the Bussia develops in the glass, revealing new shades of nuance with each taste, always a signature of a great wine. |

Dogliani San Luigi |
Abbona's 2024 Dogliani San Luigi offers up crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, blood orange, game, spice and incense. This perfumed, mid-weight Dogliani is mostly about floral notes and forward fruit. It’s a wine that is not trying to be too much, something it pulls off in style. |

Barolo ‘Le Coste di Monforte’ |
The 2021 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte marries finesse with power to a degree I have not seen here in the past. Kirsch, blood orange, white pepper, chalk, rose petal and dried flowers convey brightness to play off the wine's structured, layered personality. All the elements are so well balanced. High class. |

Barolo ‘Bussia Vigna dei Fantini’ |
The 2021 Barolo Bussia Vigna dei Fantini is all class. Aromatic and persistent, the 2021 builds in the glass, offering an explosive core of understated fruit in a mid-weight package that is so appealing. Kirsch, blood orange, cinnamon, mint and dried flowers are beautifully delineated. Persistent, silky tannins round it all out in style. |
