2012	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Some glossy oak with hints of burnt toffee across ripe red and dark cherries. This shows handy richness and depth through the palate. Acidity holds the finish fresh. Try from 2022	James Suckling	92		2018-07-05
2013	Collelceto	Brunello di Montalcino	Bright red with a pale rim. Flinty red cherry, violet, sandalwood and graphite on the nose and in the mouth. Clean, dense and juicy, with polished tannins nicely framing the juicy flavors; this lovely wine has a captivating vibrancy and is remarkably elegant and precise, rather than powerful and fleshy. The best young Brunello from Collelceto I have memory of.	Vinous	94		2018-07-05
2015	Chateau Viranel	Saint Chinian Tradition Rouge	Twenty percent of Viranel's 2015 Saint Chinian Tradition spent a year in oak (the rest stayed in tank for its élevage), so there's no obvious oak flavor in this blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre. Instead, it delivers raspberry and cherry fruit, the merest hints of thyme and rosemary and a touch of star anise. Drink this medium to full-bodied, supple wine on the fruit over the next few years.

2017	Bargemone	Rose	This ancient estate, founded in the Middle Ages by the Knights Templar, has produced an exemplary rosé. It has lightness and poise as well as great fruitiness, acidity and a crisp, zesty texture. Perfumed and with red-currant and strawberry flavors, the wine is ready to drink.

2017	Keuka Sping Vineyards	Rose	This dry rose is a blend of Lemberger and Cabernet Franc from vineyards overlooking Keuka Lake. It displays a very pale blush color with faint yellow and red cherry skin scents. Crisp on the attack, it is subtly flavored on the palate, almost like a white wine. Very clean and mineral like with persistent mineral notes on the finish. Good example of a mineral driven, subtly flavored rose. Part barrel fermented. Astounding value!	I Winereview	91		2018-06-27
2017	Pursued by Bear	Blushing Bear Rose	Very pale rose, near clear rim. Mourvèdre 50%, Grenache 30%, Cinsault 20%. Actor Kyle McLachlan’s Winery project, with wines made by Dan Wampfler (Abeja). Given the dominant variety, we are not surprised this is a more richly textured, fuller bodied Bandol-style Rosé. Faint berry aromas, then light mineral-fresh, slightly stony aromas. Medium plus acidity adds relief and provides a nice saline, earthy/mineral length to the finish. Not as breezy and lifted as most rosé wines, but perfect to drink with fuller dishes and richly flavorful ones. A blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 20% Cinsault made Provence style by winemaker Kyle MacLachlan. 12.9% alc.	I Winereview	90		2018-06-27
2017	Chateau de L'Aumerade	Marie Christine Rose Cotes de Provence	Light pink. Syrah makes itself known in this Provence blend. Darker fruit notes show on a beautifully extracted wine, but red berry/cherry notes appear on the finish. Crisp, clean and great balance. A blend of 42% Cinsault, 34% Grenache/Garnacha, and 24% Syrah grown on clay-limestone soils in Cru Classé vineyards located in Côtes de Provence's "Golden Triangle".	I Winereview	92		2018-06-27
2017	Domaine Poli	Ile de Beaute Niellucciu Rose	Pale eye of the partridge. Minerals, garrigue and rose petal aromas. Very fresh, mineral laden palate with good intensity of sour cherry fruit. Firmly structured but delicate on the palate, this is a serious food wine. Direct press; 100% Niellucciu from the Domaine Eric Poli's vineyards in the commune of Linguizzetta in Corsica. Eric Poli is the winemaker.	I Winereview	90		2018-06-27
NV	Champagne Serge Mathieu	Rose	Bright salmon pink color. Shows notes of ripe red berries and orange zest with a complicating savory, earth note. Its wine like palate offers concentrated flavors that mirror the bouquet and linger on the finish. Serve this Champagne with rare duck breast. 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay with 3 years on the lees and 9.5 g/l RS.	I Winereview	91		2018-06-27
2017	Enanzo	Garnacha Rosado	This 100% Garnacha is medium red in color with a lovely perfumed nose of red raspberry, strawberry and floral notes. It has a wonderful silky palate feel, pure fruit and excellent balance. It is handpicked, direct pressed, and fermented in old cement vats with very little lees contact. Bodegas Campos de Enanzo is a cooperative comprised of 269 family winegrowers located in the southern part of the appellation. Firstclass winemaking.	I Winereview	91		2018-06-27
