2022	Nicodemi	Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The nose is primarily savory, with aromas of preserved lemon, wild oregano, white peach and tea leaf, while the palate sweetens slightly with honey, lemon, iced tea and salted almonds. Textured, substantial–a gastronomic wine, as the Italians love to say.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-08-18
2022	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.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		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
2021	Pursued by Bear	Syrah 'Baby Bear' Columbia Valley	This Baby Bear smells like a bowl of boysenberries sprinkled with black pepper. Diminutive aromas like lavender and straw hover in the background. The wine’s flavors combine dark plums, blackberries and graham cracker dust in a pleasing fashion. Elevated acidity and silky tannins help to create an elegant texture. Mama Bear and Papa Bear should be proud of their wee nipper.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2025-08-18
2023	La Caminade	Cahors 'Mission La Caminade'	Big, ripe tannins, juicy black fruits and a licorice aroma mark out a wine with structure and richness.

2022	Nicodemi	Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari'	The nose opens savory and smoky, then turns sweet with sugar plums and milk chocolate. The palate stays sweet with blackberry compote and blueberry jam, alongside dark chocolate with a sprig of mint, while chalky tannins and vibrant acid provide structure. A great expression that gives a taste of all the many sides of Montepulciano.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-08-18
2023	Frey	Sauvignon Blanc North Coast	Made from organic grapes, this wine is fresh and bright, with ripe cantaloupe, guava, citrus, white nectarine and dried spice on the nose. Flavors on the palate are youthful and robust, with white grapefruit, bitter rind, thyme and sedimentary rock throughout the mouthfeel. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-08-18
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.

2021	Nicodemi	Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The 2021 Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto is smoky in the glass with a burst of savory herbs, balsamic spice and dried black cherries. It's silky-smooth with an elegant wave of ripe red and blue fruits that slowly saturate. Violet inner florals amass toward the close. The 2021 displays incredible balance, finishing gently tannic and potently long, leaving a tinge of licorice and the mouth watering for more. The Cocciopesto is refined for one year in amphora made of crushed bricks, sand and clay. As enjoyable as it is today, plenty of cellar potential is also packed within.	Vinous	93		2025-08-18
