2016	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir "Red Label"	This red label cuvée is made exclusively from estate grown fruit. And although its production is higher in 2016, the quality remains consistent. Concentrated black fruit abounds, recalling blackberry, blueberry and black cherry. There’s a touch of dark chocolate and café crème, along with fine-grained tannins.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2018-04-19
2015	Le Cadeau	Cote Est Pinot Noir Willamette Valley	From a cool site, this is tightly wound, with herbal accents and thin red berry fruit. Despite its relatively high alcohol, it seems restrained and slightly underripe, with tomato leaf scents and flavors.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-04-19
2015	Purple Star Wines	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	Lively and harmonious, with red currant, smoky tea and spice flavors that take on polish toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2023. 1,973 cases made.	Wine Spectator	90		2018-04-19
2016	Robert Eymael Monchhof	Monchhof Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett	Juicy squirts of tropical pineapple, melon and tangerine burst from nose to finish in this zesty spry kabinett. While light in body and delicately textured, there’s a honeyed heft on the midpalate off set by dazzling streaks acidity and crystalline minerality.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-04-19
2016	Robert Eymael Monchhof	Monchhof Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese	Dusty mineral, salt and spice accent white peach and grapefruit in this lightfooted spätlese. Honeyed yet spine tingling with acidity, it finishes on a refreshingly green melon-rind note. Delicious now but should improve through 2026 and likely further.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-04-19
2016	Robert Eymael Monchhof	Monchhof Estate Riesling	While exceptionally light footed and frisky, this off-dry Riesling offers bold yellow-peach and cantaloupe flavors glazed by sweet hibiscus nectar. Briskly composed and refreshingly mineral, it finishes with a delightfully nervous tension.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-04-19
2015	Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Rich, deep and layered, the 2015 Cornas Vieilles Vignes has it all. Big fruit allied to spicy complexity? Check. Ample tannins that are fully ripe? Check. A finish that extends for days? Check. Oh, you want details? Hints of brown sugar, savory spices and roast meat accent black berry and plum fruit, and while the mid-palate is dense and tannic, those tannins actually turn more supple and approachable on the lingering finish.

2015	Chiappini	Felciaino	The 2015 Bolgeri Rosso Felciaino is a very pretty entry-level offering from Chiappini. Sweet tobacco, spice, leather and dark-fleshed fruit give this pliant Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend much of its personality. Another six months or so should help the tannins soften.	Vinous	90		2018-04-12
2014	Chiappini	Guado de' Gemoli	The estate's 2014 Guado de' Gemoli is terrific, especially within the context of the year. Gracious and medium in body, the 2014 offers a compelling melange of varietal Cabernet Sauvignon inflections. Hints of espresso, dark cherry, leather and mint shape the expressive finish.	Vinous	93		2018-04-12
2014	Carol Shelton	Karma Reserve Sonoma County	Dark and brooding, with black cherry and bittersweet chocolate aromas and plump flavors of orange zest, black licorice, and smoky cracked pepper. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignane and Viognier. Drink now through 2027.	Wine Spectator	91		2018-04-09
