2015	Marques de Vargas	Crianza	A polished texture carries lively flavors of cherry, berry, orange peel, spice and vanilla in this fresh, supple red. Floral and herbal accents add interest. Graceful and expressive. Drink now through 2030.	Wine Spectator	90		2018-07-20
NV	Chateau du Tariquet	12 Yr. 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac	The 12-year-old in Tariquet’s noteworthy series of 100% Folle Blanche bottlings is intense, like the first days of spring. Light in color, with a nose full of white flowers and green herbs, the spices swirl in the mouth, particularly nutmeg and cinnamon. It’s all balanced by a beautiful dried apricot note that develops from the midpalate into a long spiced-fruit finish.	Vinous	94		2018-07-20
NV	Chateau du Tariquet	15 Yr. 100% Folle Blanche Bas Armagnac	As a brandy made with Folle Blanche ages, it often moves from floral towards attractive tobacco notes, as the Tariquet 15-year-old bottling exemplifies. There’s a hint of burnt sugar and dried fruit, but those play second fiddle to the savory herbal and green tobacco leaf notes.	Vinous	93		2018-07-20
2014	David Arthur Vineyards	Three Acre Cabernet Sauvignon	From the Pritchard Hill producer's estate within an estate, this is dusty in currant and sinewy leather, with a lingering note of resin, violet and graphite. Full bodied and concentrated in black cherry and currant, it shows a density that's complex yet beautifully balanced. Enjoy 2024–2030.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2018-07-16
2015	Pietro Caciorgna	Pietro Caciorgna Ciauria Etna Rosso	A ripe red showing rose petals, crushed blueberries and hints of vanilla. Medium to full body with silky and soft tannins. A balanced and pure finish. Delicious now. Why wait?	James Suckling	93		2018-07-16
2015	Pietro Caciorgna	Guardoilvento Etna Rosso	Wonderful aromas of blueberries, raspberries and plums. Hints of light caramel, too. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a precise, vertical finish. I like the texture and the tension here. Needs time to soften. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	94		2018-07-16
2016	Bodegas Jorge Ordonez	Nisia Las Suertes	This bold white is full-bodied and exuberant, with exotic flavors of pineapple, mango and coconut that stretch out on a rich frame, but remain firmly supported by juicy tangerine acidity. Atypical but has depth and balance. Drink now through 2022. 1,000 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2018-07-06
2015	Bodegas Jorge Ordonez-Montsant	Zerran	From a 22-acre vineyard owned by the Bodegas Ordoñez, the 2015 Zerran is a blend of old-vine Carignan, Syrah and Grenache and aged ten months sur lie in Burgundy and Bordeaux barrels and bottled unfiltered. It has an earthy, mineral nose of wet slate/pebbles intermixed with black cherry and blacker fruits, as well as hints of truffle and loamy soil notes. It is followed by an outstanding wine with terrific richness, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and noticeable, but well-integrated tannins. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

2010	Ramirez de la Piscina	Gran Reserva	Heavily roasted aromas of gamy berry fruits, herbs and coconutty oak settle on charred. This wine is bulky and a touch stewed and soupy in feel. Oaky flavors of chocolate, baked berry and cassis end with chocolaty oak on a finish that's heavy and lacking in verve. Drink through 2024.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-07-06
2017	Col Vetoraz	Cartizze di Valdobbiadene DOCG	This wine is a bright star in a large sea of commercial Prosecco that floods foreign markets. You should look out for Col Vetoraz. Their 2017 Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry is spectacular. The bouquet offers fragrant tones of white peach, crushed oyster shell and garden rose. The effect is lovely. This Cartizze sparkler tickles the palate with soft and foamy effervescence. There is soothing sweetness on the delicate and elegant finish. Some 39,000 bottles were made. This is a great value offering.	Wine Advocate	92		2018-07-06
