2013	Wesmar	Pinot Noir Russian River	Crisp red cherry and a taste of grenadine characterize this light, bright wine, with accents of orange and rhubarb. Fruity and straightforward in structure and body, it retains nicely interwoven acidity through the finish. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2016-11-21
2013	Wesmar	Pinot Noir Baletto	A light, clear and bright wine from the heart of the appellation, this bottling exudes juicy layers of earthy cardamom spice and dark black cherry. It’s well integrated and varietally consistent, offering jolts of minerality that buoy the texture. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2016-11-21
2012	Domaine Pegau	Cuvee Laurence	A throwback style and proud of it, with warm chestnut and bay leaf notes taking the lead, followed quickly by worn leather and smoldering tobacco accents. The core of dark currant, warmed cherry and mulled blackberry lies in reserve for now, while the finish lets singed iron and brick dust details hold sway. Just wait for everything to pull together in the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2032.	Wine Spectator	96		2016-11-09

2012	Sabate I Coca	Castellroig Brut Nature Reserva	The 2012 Brut Nature Reserva blends 65% Xarello, 30% Macabeo and 5% Parellada from their vineyards; it matured in bottle with the lees for 30 months and has no dosage added, so it's dry. This shows a step up in complexity and integration of the bubbles, that feel smaller and provide for a creamy texture complementing the clean and fresh style of the house. 25,000 bottles produced.

2010	Sabate I Coca	Castellroig Brut Nature Gran Reserva	Similarly, the 2010 Brut Nature Gran Reserva has increased the time in bottle to no less than 50 months, and the Xarello represents 85% of the volume with the balance provided by Macabeo. There are balsamic aromas and notes of camphor, roasted nuts, smoke and bread dough. The palate feels more balanced, and the acidity and bubbles are in very good harmony. Here, more time on the lees is an advantage.	Wine Advocate	91		2016-10-28
NV	Sabate I Coca	Castellroig Brut Rosat		Wine & Spirits	90		2016-10-28
NV	Sabate I Coca	Castellroig Cava Nature Gran Reserva	Dense white peach and yellow citrus flavors provide a succulent match for this wine’s mouthwatering acidity. It feels smooth, substantial and balanced, lasting on the pale smoke of the lees and lemon. Chill this for nigiri sushi.	Wine & Spirits	92		2016-10-28
2015	Aldonia	Vendimia Rioja	This is not your traditional Rioja, quite the opposite. Predominantly Grenache, this offering is full of red and bright juicy fruit with notes of plum and red cherry. This modern style has only spent 4 months in 500 litre oak barrels, resulting in a very fruit driven style with a bright acidity and spicy edge.	Decanter	90		2016-10-26
