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
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
2021	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	The black fruit aroma is a mix of tart blackberries and sweet, ripe damson plums, all backed by puffs of dark chocolate and wet concrete. Flavors like black cherry and black tea are spiced with cardamom and pepper. The wine’s acidity buzzes softly, pairing with velvety tannins to create a satiny texture. This bear is a dinner table necessity, especially if roast beef is involved. Editor’s Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		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
2023	Foris	Pinot Gris Rogue Valley	A pear and wet slate aromatic combination is flanked by traces of rosemary and lemon peel. The wine’s acidity is restrained, making for an almost creamy texture. The flavors are a mix of banana and lemon balm tea, with a slightly metallic note on the finish. Pour chilled on your next hot summer evening. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		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	Eola Hills Wine Cellars	Pinot Gris Willamette Valley	With its aromas of tangerines and a batch of fresh-picked carnations, this Pinot Gris is like aromatherapy in wine form. The light-bodied wine’s green apple and cinnamon flavors are tart and spicy, but its acidity is softer than I was expecting. I might try this Pinot Gris with a fresh goat cheese salad. Best Buy.

2023	Ryan Patrick	Naked' Chardonnay Columbia Valley	While this Chardonnay might be “naked” in oak barrels, it did see partial malolactic fermentation and packs some weight. The aromas are a mix of butter and toasted almonds, with a touch of apple. Modest acidity and a creamy texture complement the wine’s lemon, dill, butter and Tahitian vanilla flavors. Best Buy.

2020	La Caminade	Cahors 'La Commandery'	The wine’s bramble and ripe black-fruit aroma leads to a wine that has dense power and concentration. It is rich with blackberry flavors and a layer of tannins to allow the wine to age further. Drink from 2026.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-08-18
2023	Lava Cap	Cabernet Sauvignon El Dorado	Concentrated, this wine offers aromas of huckleberry, blueberry, black licorice, vanilla and coriander on the nose. The midpalate is dry, with flavors of black currant confiture, clove and citrus cream. Lip-smacking tannins create a dry finish. Decant and pair with grilled duck breast.
