Di Giovanna |
Siciliani Rosso |
Pleasingly aromatic and richly flavored, this Rosso reveals dense, fresh dark cherry and plum with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of charred oak. It finishes long with fine, firm tannins. |

Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau |
Cuvee Silex Vouvray Sec |
Juicy, offering a corpulent feel to the mix of yellow apple, ginger, quince and green almond flavors. Reveals a flash of toast on the finish, with the fruit lingering. Drink now through 2026. 850 cases made. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Poggi ai Frati Riserva Chianti Classico |
Aromas of violet, tobacco and a whiff of fresh sage lead the nose on this savory wine. The juicy chewy palate offers ripe black cherry, clove and star anise while fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink through 2023. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Buriano Cabernet Sauvignon |
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Buriano is a promising wine, especially if the tannins soften. There is terrific purity to the fruit, and hints of game, smoke, licorice and pepper add layers of dimension. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Stielle 2013 Chainti |
Succulent red cherry fruit and expressive floral notes meld together in the 2013 Stielle, Rocca di Castagnoli's top Sangiovese. The flavors are deep and vibrant. This is in an especially supple style for the year, but it all works quite nicely. |

Hentley Farm |
Shiraz Clos Otto |
Powerful in nature, this wine is full of raspberry, red cherry, earth and floral notes, with some charred wood in the background. There’s some heat on the palate alongside overt oak and chewy tannins, but the acidity is there, as is the fruit. This just needs time in the cellar. Drink 2020–2037. |

Hentley Farm |
The Beauty |
Still a baby and therefore rather shy in the glass, a few good swirls eek out aromas of cherry cola, sweet spice and dusty oak. The tannins are big but integrated, with vibrant acidity and herbal, medicinal flavors. This is a rich, powerful style, but give it time and watch it shine. Drink 2019–2032. |

Hentley Farm |
The Beast |
As the name suggests, this wine is indeed big and powerful, but it’s elegant and classy too. Heady notes of violets, red berries, smoked meat, white pepper and licorice are entwined with tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. One for the cellar. Drink 2019–2032. |
