2022	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.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-05-20
2019	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.

2021	Lornano	Chianti Classico 'Riserva'	The nose features both the clean tartness of black cherry and blackberry and the more textured tang of tea leaf and bergamot. The palate opens with more cherries and berries, then those bitter citrus notes return, joined by earth tones which are emphasized by fierce tannins and lively acid.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-05-20
2020	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.

2022	Trentadue	La Storia Cuvee 32' Alexander Valley	Aromas of ripe raspberry, cinnamon and lemon zest burst from the glass on the nose of this Sangiovese- and Merlot-dominated blend. The palate has waves of berry, spice and herb flavors in a richly tannic framework softened by zesty acidity. While delicious now, this will be best from 2028.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2025-05-20
2018	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva'	The nose is meaty, earthy and dense with dried fruit, as aromas of dried cherries, dried figs and bitter orange jam layer over a herb-crusted grilled steak. The palate stays savory, but presents a super-saline contrast, with tangy, bright, crunchy fruit and cool saltwater flowing over rocks.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2025-05-20
2018	Davide Fregonese	Barolo 'Prapo'	Aromas of ripe red fruits, dried herbs, and a hint of earth on the nose. The palate is full bodied and structured, with firm tannins and a deep, complex and mixed fruit and spice character. Drink from 2026.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-05-20
2024	Lobster Reef	Sauvignon Blanc	Fresh and fruity with zippy lime and passion fruit aromas, this is an easygoing, balanced summer sipper with crisp, crunchy acidity and a black currant leaf finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-05-20
2022	Lornano	Chianti Classico	The nose opens saline and floral, with wet slate, crushed rocks and peonies, then intensifies with aromas of raspberry candy, sweet tobacco and wild oregano. The palate balances wild berries with savory earth tones, before a finish that crackles with a spicy, peppery heat. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2025-05-20
2021	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.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-05-20
