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
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
2023 Foris Pinot Gris Rogue Valley A pear and wet slate aromatic combination is flanked by traces of rosemary and lemon peel. The wine’s acidity is restrained, making for an almost creamy texture.

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
