2016 Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz Gorgeous purity and silky tannins set the stage for kirsch, blueberry syrup, white chocolate and espresso flavors. Complex and generous, with an epic finish, where the harmonious flavors linger. Drink through 2030. - MaryAnn Worobiec. Wine Spectator 93 2017-12-11
2016 Chateau Beauchene Cotes du Rhone Grande Reserve 30 to 50 year old vines have produced a wine with an inviting, expressive, slightly peppery nose. A medium-weight style, it has freshness and aromatic detail, with gently saline tannins and bright acidity riding in on the finish. This would make a great house wine, at home or in a restaurant. Well balanced and satisfying. Decanter 90 2017-12-08
2016 Chateau Beauchene Cotes du Rhone Premier Terroir From 30 to 100 year old vines. Well-judged oak here sits just behind the fruit, with lifted violet and juniper notes. It's full-bodied, generous and concentrated in style, ambitious and remarkably intense for a Cotes-du-Rhone. Slightly raised alcohol perhaps, but it's a minor niggle - this is certainly attention grabbing and will be good when it's ready. Decanter 91 2017-12-08

2015 Rocca di Castagnoli Chianti Classico DOCG A ripe and juicy red with hot stone, dried cherry and hints of berry undertones. Full and chewy yet soft and polished texture. A muscular and solid red. Drink or hold. James Suckling 92 2017-11-29
2013 Rocca di Castagnoli Stielle Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Very fine and tight with berry and chocolate character. Hints of cedar and walnut.

2015 Landmark Overlook Chardonnay Richly soft, round and concentrated, this wine is exuberant in apple flavor, with a touch of stone fruit and papaya. It has a pleasing succulence that should broadly appeal. Wine Enthusiast 90 2017-11-29
2015 Clos Alivu Patrimonio Rouge This rich, structured wine is made from 100% Niellucciu (Sangiovese) from a nine acre estate. Its black cherry flavors are bolstered by plenty of firm tannins and concentration, and its richness and density are now at peak maturity, so drink now. Wine Enthusiast 90 2017-11-29
