2014	I Custodi	Etna Rosso Riserva 'Saeculare'	A whiff of Christmas spice gives way to wild blueberries and dusty dried flowers as the 2014 Etna Rosso Riserva Saeculare tempts the imagination. It is beautifully resolved with a silken gracefulness brought about through maturity. Cooling acidity guides ripe red berry fruits across the palate. A gentle tug of fine tannins remains as sour citrus, minerals and spice come together on the hauntingly dark and nicely balanced finale. This late release is a beautiful interpretation from one of Etna's landmark vintages.	Vinous	94		2025-08-27
2024	Pursued by Bear	Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley	A blend of 77% Grenache and 23% Mourvèdre, the grapes for the 2024 Rose Blushing Bear are picked early and whole-cluster pressed to maintain freshness and offer delicious complexity. This is an outstanding, textured, complex, and vibrant wine, richly layered in red and black berry, mouth-quenching citrus, and wisps of white pepper. Drink now.	Jeb Dunnuck	95		2025-08-27
2022	Lornano	Chianti Classico	Restrained red cherries, leafy citrus character and fresh violets. The attack is supple and juicy with velvety tannins and brisk acidity. Medium- to full-bodied, it shines with pulpy fruit. Harmonious. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	93		2025-08-26
2021	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	High-toned and textured like its cousin Twin Bear, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is softer in tannins, but equally worth attention. Textured, complex, and savory, it has dark, deep layers of full-bodied black fruit at its core and a lasting note of iron and oak. Age 10-15 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	96		2025-08-26
2022	Jolete	Pinot Noir 'Le Verre Cuvee' Willamette Valley	Aromas of cherries, strawberries, dried leaves and subtle spices. The palate is light and fresh, with soft tannins and a simple, fruit-driven finish. Easy and approachable. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2025-08-26
2020	Chateau Montus	Blanc Sec Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh	Intense and rich, this dry wine is filled with a ripe orange-peel aroma and spicy white-fruit flavors. Made from the Petit Courbu, one of the rarer varieties of the region, the wine exudes concentration balanced with final acidity. Drink now. Hidden Gem.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-08-18
2023	Arnaud Combier	Soreli ‘Vents Contraire’	An interesting wine with a noticeable grip on the palate, this showcases clear skin-contact influence. Notes of orange peel and poached peach give it depth, and it’s best enjoyed with food to bring out its full character.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-08-18
2018	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva'	On the nose, earthy, cool aromas of damp top soil and coffee grinds are balanced by crunchy, barely ripe berries and just a hint of vanilla. The berries turn sweet and ripe on the palate and are joined by bergamot, before the earth tones reemerge. Acid bounces around tannins that are polished, but clingy.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2025-08-18
2024	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Rose 'Vielles Vignes'	Despite light cherry notes it is a bit more neutral and direct in style. Simple and straightforward. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-08-18
2020	Chateau Montus	Madiran	This is a powerful wine, with dense black fruits. It has weight and concentration that are enhanced by rich black-currant fruits and a dark-coffee aroma. The wine, with its 80% Tannat will age further. Drink from 2027. Cellar Selection.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-08-18
