Famille Georges Vigouroux |
Haute Serre Cahors 'Lucter' |
A balanced wine, this brings together fresh acidity and ripe red-berry fruits. The wine has a core of tannins that should soften soon. With its fragrant licorice aroma, the wine, from the high plateau above Cahors, will be ready from 2027. Best Buy. |

Eola Hills Wine Cellars |
Pinot Noir Willamette Valley |
This lighter-bodied Pinot Noir offers a perfume of dusty roadside raspberries and dried rose petals to catch your attention. Its easygoing acidity and soft texture act as a pillow for flavors of muddled black cherries and a wee bit of fig jam. The wine’s plush tannins and moderate acidity manage to keep up with all of that fruit. Best Buy. |

Pozzan |
Pinot Noir Russian River Valley |
This classic Pinot delivers aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, cola spice and cedar on the nose with those same flavors and well-balanced acid and tannin on the palate. Enjoy with roasted pork loin and mushroom sauce. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
