Merlot 'La Storia' Alexander Valley |
Dramatic aromas of chocolate-covered strawberries and candied raspberries jump from the glass on the nose of this wine. The palate brings a wash of vibrant cherry-lemon acidity and flavors of cocoa powder, licorice, cherry jam and cinnamon before a long finish with enough tannin for mid-term aging. |

Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva 'Neromoro' |
A tart, spiced nose of chocolate, cloves, cardamom and sweet dark cherries foreshadows a palate where f lavors of spice, earth and berries mingle above a strong dark-chocolate foundation. Powerful tannins and hot, unapologetic acid create a balanced feel and ensure this wine will continue to develop. |

Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 'Le Murate' |
The nose is earthy, savory and slightly salty, but gentle, with aromas of black olive, sun-dried tomato, dried thyme, blackberries and black plum. On the palate, a current of milk chocolate brings out a sweeter dark-fruit element, while firm tannins and vibrant acid provide both structure and energy. Best Buy. |

Domaine Yves Cheron |
Cotes du Rhone 'Les Dentelles' |
Bright and lifted, this wine bursts with ripe red cherry, rhubarb, wild strawberry, black olive and dried lavender aromas. Fresh, juicy yet dry, it features round, youthful tannins that support black fruit, cassis, licorice and dried thyme. Approachable now, but best enjoyed after a gentle decant. |

Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 'Le Murate' |
The nose is fresh, cool and balanced, with aromas of tart blackberries, wild cherries, top soil, pepper, graphite and violets. On the palate, the blackberries ripen but stay tart, while those sophisticated, bitter earth tones contrast nicely. Substantial yet refined tannins provide structure and lithe acid brings a bolt of energy. Best Buy. |

Chardonnay 'La Storia' Russian River Valley |
This wine displays a tropical nose, loaded with aromas of green papaya and lemon curd. The palate feels plush and almost sweet, with flavors of candied ginger, roasted pineapple and a bit of cinnamon that emerges towards the finish. |

Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari' |
The palate is mostly crushed dark berries, dirt and brush, but hints of fresh raspberries and strawberries provide a warming lift. On the palate, the earthiness crescendos through a bitter, warm, spicy finish that positively crackles with pepper. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO' |
On the nose, wild strawberries and raspberries are joined by a touch of passion fruit, ripe peach and Mandarin blossom, while on the palate that ripe, juicy stone fruit is contrasted with a peppery bite and fierce acid. |
