2021 Nicodemi Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’ The nose starts with umami aromas of underbrush, balsamic and black olives, then turns tart and slightly gritty, with dark berry notes and a dusting of bitter chocolate. The palate balances a richer berry element with the stony, metallic tang of slate and earth. Wine Enthusiast 91 2025-08-06
2022 Nicodemi Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’ The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto opens with a beguiling blend of crushed stones, dried flowers, apricots and a lifting hint of fresh mint. It is soothingly round and supple, with cooling acidity and ripe white pit fruits underscored by crunchy mineral tones and an herbal thrust toward the close. This cleans up beautifully, leaving a liquid floral concentration and youthful tension as a saline tinge lingers on and on. The Cocciopesto is refined for one year in amphora, six months of which are spent macerating on the skins. Vinous 92 2025-08-06

2023 Dominio de Eguren Tempranillo 'Protocolo' From low-yielding vineyards in Castilla-La Mancha, the 2023 Protocolo Tinto spent only three months in barrel, made entirely from Tempranillo (or Tina del pais as it’s known in the region). It offers a leathery, dried-fruit character and appealing rusticity, the tannins quite supple. Medium-bodied, it’s built to be approachable upon release, finessed, fluid, and full of enduring freshness. Drink now. Jeb Dunnuck 90 2025-08-04
2023 Decibel Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe We all know the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s premier wine region, Marlborough, for its intense, distinct flavor profile. But have you tried Savvy B from the northern island’s Hawkes Bay region? The wine is calmer and more mineral-driven than its southern counterpart while not skimping on personality. This example from Decibel has a waxy nose with quiet spikes of green and white pepper and fresh apple aromas. The palate is bright and refreshing with some added grapefruit notes and a nice balance between fruit and acidity. VinePair 92 2025-07-31
2023 Two Hands Shiraz 'Angels Share' McLaren Vale Rich and succulent, with fleshy (and flashy) black cherry compote notes, wild blackberry and blueberry preserves, black licorice, bittersweet chocolate and espresso bean notes, a touch of cardamon and a frame that is both juicy and muscular, notes of violets lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2036. 20,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported. Wine Spectator 91 2025-07-21
2024 Giuliano Rosati Pinot Grigio Friuli A really pretty nose of apple, peach and citrus fruits, with some floral notes and hints of minerals. On the palate this is a wonderful wine, with tart fruit flavors that lead to a long, zesty finish. justwinepoints.com 97 2025-07-17
NV Ca' Furlan Prosecco Extra-Dry 'Cuvée Beatrice' One of the best Prosecco’s we’ve tasted in a while. The nose offers beautiful pear, citrus and green apple aromas swimming in floral notes. On the palate this is a wonderfully balanced wine that you could sip all day because the long, lingering, finish leaves you wanting more and more and more! justwinepoints.com 98 2025-07-17
2023 Rocca di Castagnoli Chianti Classico The 2023 Chianti Classico is a terrific entry-level offering. Rose petal, lavender, cinnamon and dark red/purplish fruit all meld together in this easygoing, mid-weight Chianti Classico. Vibrant saline notes support the finish. A model of balance, the 2023 is an absolute delight. Vinous 90 2025-07-15
2021 Pursued by Bear Syrah 'Baby Bear' Columbia Valley Dark, inky, and earthy, the 2021 Syrah Baby Bear has powerful, velvety layers of black plum, wild game, and shocks of white and black pepper. Full of tension and texture, it has a kick of acidity that keeps it fresh and lively despite its inherent full-bodied power. Age 15-20 years. Jeb Dunnuck 96 2025-07-15
