2017 Chateau de Pampelonne Legende Rose Cotes de Provence Pampelonne is situated in the hills above the luxury resort of Saint-Tropez, giving a great view of the yachts. It's a stylish wine in its smart bottle. Almost white in color, it is mineral textured with tight intense acidity and red-currant fruits. It will be worth aging for a few months, so drink this wine from later in 2018. Editor's Choice Wine Enthusiast 91 2018-06-21

2016 Le Cadeau Rocheaux Pinot Noir Willamette Valley As the name suggests, this wine comes off a rocky part of the estate vineyard, creating a sturdy platform for its rich array of blue-berry and brambly cherry fruit. There’s a whiff of chicken stock also, and it’s still tight with youthful tension. Give it plenty of aeration or an extra year or two in bottle before popping the cork. Wine Enthusiast 92 2018-06-21
2010 Punset Barbaresco Campo Quadro DOCG A powerful, meaty style, boasting cherry, plum, licorice, leather and tobacco aromas and flavors, and beginning to show a hint of truffle. Still supported by dense tannins, with a mineral element gracing the long finish. Best from 2020 through 2038. 300 cases made. Wine Spectator 95 2018-06-21
2016 Aubichon Cellars Pinot Noir This blend from three vineyards comes on thick and sappy, with chunky black fruit flavors. Earth, forest floor and dark chocolate details emerge as it fills the palate. It glides smoothly into a rich finish marked by a vein of cola. Wine Enthusiast 90 2018-06-21
2016 Aubichon Cellars Reserve Pinot Noir This reserve bottling from five vineyards—principally in the Chehalem Mountains AVA—is layered and complex. It leads with tart berry and Bing cherry fruit, building toward lighter notes of Dr. Pepper, mushroom soup and miso as it opens. Then, it charges back into lush berry flavors through the palate-rousing finish. Wine Enthusiast 91 2018-06-21
2016 Jolete Pinot Noir Le Verre Consumers have an impressive number of excellent Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs from which to choose at this price point. This one offers deep and potent black fruit and even darker notes of black coffee and chocolate. There's nothing cheap or cheerful about it. It's a serious bottle of wine, right down to the finishing suggestions of toast from new oak aging. Wine Enthusiast 90 2018-06-21
