Rocca di Castagnoli |
Chainti Classico DOCG |
French oak, underbrush, balsamic aromas, coconut and baked plum aromas are front and center on this radiant, structured red. Made entirely with organically farmed Sangiovese, the savory, elegant palate delivers wild cherry, pomegranate, baking spice and a hint of orange zest. Firm, polished tannins and fresh acidity provide age-worthy support and balance. Drink 2019–2029. |

Vina Chocalan |
Vitrium Red Blend |
This Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah-led blend opens with blackened oak, vanilla and blackberry aromas. A deep strong palate is not shy with tannins, while this tastes a bit woody, with herbal, spicy black-fruit notes. A dense peppery finish is texturally solid. |

Chateau Beauchene |
Cuvee de la Serrière Châteauneuf-du-Pape |
While plush with ripe blueberry and cherry flavors, this fullbodied, warming red has tinges of freshly tilled earth, garrigue and spice. It’s not concentrated but easy drinking and fresh. The finish is moderately long, ending in slightly tacky but fine-grained tannins. |

Jean Marc Burgaud |
Morgon Grands Cras |
One of three bottlings from this producer that showcases different aspects of Morgon, this wine is full, seriously structured and has the potential of great fruitiness. That will take time; for now the wine is a series of rich tannins that are very mineral in texture. Drink from 2019. |

Landmark |
Overlook Pinot Noir |
Aromas of roasted red cherry, sharp black raspberry and herb-tinged smoked pork in mulberry sauce make for a mouthwatering entry to this bottling. The oak is strong on the palate, giving a vanilla overlay to the cranberry and rose petal flavors. A hint of juniper shows on the finish. |

Di Giovanna |
Helios Rosso |
This red blend shows especially well with an abundance of rich dark red fruit accented by earth, tobacco and licorice. It has a firm structure with round tannins and an especially appealing, long savory finish. |

Siciliani Nero d'Avola |
This dark fruited wine is big and full and firmly structured. It reveals a pleasant pepper spice that complements the sweet dark fruit. Delicious and dry on the finish. |
