Nicodemi |
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOCG ‘Cocciopesto’ |
The nose is primarily savory, with aromas of preserved lemon, wild oregano, white peach and tea leaf, while the palate sweetens slightly with honey, lemon, iced tea and salted almonds. Textured, substantial–a gastronomic wine, as the Italians love to say. |

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. |

Chateau Montus |
Madiran |
This is a powerful wine, with dense black fruits. It has weight and concentration that are enhanced by rich black-currant fruits and a dark-coffee aroma. The wine, with its 80% Tannat will age further. Drink from 2027. Cellar Selection. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
