2022	Jeff Carrel	La Tire' Fitou	A blend of 60% Carignan and 40% Syrah, the 2022 Fitou La Tire reveals a deeper ruby/purple hue as well as ripe aromatics of black cherries, mulberries, licorice, leather, and peppery herbs. This medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, mouth-filling red has ripe tannins and a great finish. A classy, balanced fruit bomb, it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate.

2022	Rocca di Castagnoli	Chianti Classico	The 2022 Chianti Classico is a serious wine. Dark red-toned fruit, leather, spice, tobacco and menthol give this fruity, deep Chianti Classico tons of sheer appeal. The aromatics are a bit open, suggesting the 2022 is best enjoyed over the near and medium term. This is very nicely done.	Vinous	91		2025-06-10
2022	Jeff Carrel	La Tire' Fitou	A juicy, straightforward and textured red with berries, herbs, bay leaves and some baking spices as well, following through to a medium- to full-bodied with plush tannins. Dense and rich, with berries and cocoa powder. Textured and compact at the center, but it remains balanced and vivid, with a lift of spice towards the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

2022	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	A quick assemblage from foudres of the 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée reveals a dark-fruited, spicy style, enlivened by hints of violets and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and densely concentrated, with a long, silky finish, it looks to be a near-carbon copy of the stunning, cellar-worthy 2019.	Wine Advocate	95-97		2025-06-09
2022	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Showing a solid step up over last year, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Reservée is a ripe, sexy, incredibly complex Pégau that's just about overflowing with red and black fruits, herbes de Provence, pepper, and leather-like aromatics. Reminding me slightly of a more elegant, less concentrated example of the 2009, it has full-bodied richness, a broad, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's already hard to resist yet should evolve nicely for 15-20 years if well stored.	Jeb Dunnuck	94-96		2025-06-09
2023	Meadowcroft	Pinot Noir Russian River	This Pinot gives layers of candied raspberry and cherry aromas on the nose, with flavors of strawberry licorice, quince and candied lemon peel on the palate. This easy to drink Pinot will be great with a light chill in warmer weather.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-06-06
2024	Penya	Cotes Catalanes Rose	The 2024 Rosé from Côtes Catalanes pours a sparkling purple-inflected light pink hue. It’s chock full of creamy red berries, cherries and citrusy acidity, all wrapped up in a warm blanket of smooth, supple curves. Grenache character is on full display here. Delicious.

2023	Marziano Abbona	Barbera d'Alba 'Rinaldi'	A floral wine with aromas of violets, roses, red cherries and pomegranates. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and silky, elegant tannins. Light and transparent with a biting finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2025-05-28
2022	Di Giovanna	Grillo 'Helios'	A fresh, clean and precise white that has aromas of sliced apples, peaches and lemon blossoms. Stony, minerally undertones, too. It’s medium-bodied, driven and pure. Excellent length. Drink now.	James Suckling	92		2025-05-28
2022	Di Giovanna	Nerello Mascalese 'Vurria'	This is a pale, crunchy and inviting red that has aromas of oranges, mushrooms, tobacco and cherries. It’s medium-bodied, fresh yet firm on the palate, with medium-chewy tannins. Pretty rose petal character at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.	James Suckling	92		2025-05-28
