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
2024	Ryan Patrick	Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley	The initial lemon aroma is quickly encircled by the wine’s herbal explosion of dill, fennel and fresh-cut grass notes. With tangy acidity supporting them, flavors like lemon zest and lemongrass tea rule the palate, joined by hints of guava and a bitter arugula note. A tangy mouthfeel makes this an invigorating wine to sip with fresh goat cheese and chunks of baguette. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-08-18
2020	Famille Georges Vigouroux	Mercues Cahors 'Les Ailes'	This is a supple, ripe wine with rich tannins and a polished texture. Its black-coffee aroma and ripe black fruits make a real second wine from this 88-acre estate. Drink from 2026. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-08-18
2023	Pozzan	Pinot Noir Russian River Valley	This classic Pinot delivers aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, cola spice and cedar on the nose with those same flavors and well-balanced acid and tannin on the palate. Enjoy with roasted pork loin and mushroom sauce.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-08-07
2021	Nicodemi	Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The nose starts with umami aromas of underbrush, balsamic and black olives, then turns tart and slightly gritty, with dark berry notes and a dusting of bitter chocolate. The palate balances a richer berry element with the stony, metallic tang of slate and earth.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-08-06
2022	Nicodemi	Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’	The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto opens with a beguiling blend of crushed stones, dried flowers, apricots and a lifting hint of fresh mint. It is soothingly round and supple, with cooling acidity and ripe white pit fruits underscored by crunchy mineral tones and an herbal thrust toward the close. This cleans up beautifully, leaving a liquid floral concentration and youthful tension as a saline tinge lingers on and on. The Cocciopesto is refined for one year in amphora, six months of which are spent macerating on the skins.	Vinous	92		2025-08-06
2021	Marqués de Tomares	Crianza	Style: standard, simple. Aroma: ripe fruit, creamy oak. Flavour: ripe fruit, spicy, round tannins.	Guía Peñín	90		2025-08-05
2023	Dominio de Eguren	Tempranillo 'Protocolo'	From low-yielding vineyards in Castilla-La Mancha, the 2023 Protocolo Tinto spent only three months in barrel, made entirely from Tempranillo (or Tina del pais as it’s known in the region). It offers a leathery, dried-fruit character and appealing rusticity, the tannins quite supple. Medium-bodied, it’s built to be approachable upon release, finessed, fluid, and full of enduring freshness. Drink now.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2025-08-04
2023	Decibel	Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe	We all know the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s premier wine region, Marlborough, for its intense, distinct flavor profile. But have you tried Savvy B from the northern island’s Hawkes Bay region? The wine is calmer and more mineral-driven than its southern counterpart while not skimping on personality. This example from Decibel has a waxy nose with quiet spikes of green and white pepper and fresh apple aromas. The palate is bright and refreshing with some added grapefruit notes and a nice balance between fruit and acidity.	VinePair	92		2025-07-31
2023	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Angels Share' McLaren Vale	Rich and succulent, with fleshy (and flashy) black cherry compote notes, wild blackberry and blueberry preserves, black licorice, bittersweet chocolate and espresso bean notes, a touch of cardamon and a frame that is both juicy and muscular, notes of violets lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2036. 20,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	91		2025-07-21
