2022	Di Giovanna	Nero d'Avola 'Vurria'	The nose opens with black cherries, blackberries, damp earth, and crushed rocks, then a hint of vanilla emerges. The palate scatters cool, fresh, ripe berries over more damp earth, then sprinkles salt and pepper over structured, insistent tannins. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-04-06
2022	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	This wine has it all, from great fruit and sharp acidity to a pleasing texture and integrated tannins. You know, just the bear necessities. This Bear enters from stage left with aromas of blackberries, fresh-pitched Yakima Valley hay, and a wisp of Madagascar vanilla bean. The balanced, medium-bodied wine then delivers rich, juicy flavors of black cherries, mocha, and star anise. Best Bear yet? Editor's Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2026-04-06
2023	Jolete	Pinot Noir 'Le Verre Cuvee' Willamette Valley	Aromas of cherries, plums, violets and baking spices. Medium-bodied and expressive, showing soft tannins and a nice mix of red and black fruit with dark chocolate in the finish. Easygoing and drinkable now.	James Suckling	91		2026-03-24
2024	Punset	Barbera d'Alba	Not only fruity but spicy, showing incense, iron and plums. Silky, savory and flowing, with medium body, a supple palate and a zesty, balanced finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	93		2026-03-24
2023	Rocamadre	Malbec Paraje Altamira	In Argentina’s Uco Valley, a movement toward terroir is taking hold. In Argentina “paraje” translates to a specific place or spot, used here to represent the expression of a certain vineyard site. Paraje Altamira, where this wine comes from, was the first region in Argentina designated by soil composition rather than political boundaries. This wine embraces that philosophy, offering a beautiful, terroir-driven experience. The nose is earthy, with notes of mushroom and soil complemented by hints of aged balsamic. On the palate, it is composed and mineral-forward, featuring medium depth and fine tannins. The finish is lingering and savory. Voted VinePair's The Best Malbec From Argentina.

2023	Sandro Fay	Valtellina Superiore 'Valgella'	The 2023 Valtellina Superiore Valgella is airy, gracious and super expressive. Kirsch, mint, white pepper, herbs and mint are all finely knit. Silky contours and gorgeous mid-palate pliancy add to a feeling of finesse. This is very nicely done.	Vinous	91		2026-03-20
2021	Sandro Fay	Valtellina Superiore Valgella Riserva 'Carteria'	The 2021 Valtellina Superiore Valgella Riserva Vigneto Carteria is soft, delicate and very pretty, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Kirsch, mint, sweet red cherry, spice and vanillin all meld together. This soft, forward Valtellina is all charm.	Vinous	93		2026-03-20
2023	La Fiorita	Rosso di Montalcino	The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino is perfumed in the glass, with crushed violets, blood orange and black cherries. This is deeply textural, silken and serene, with crisp acidity and citrus-laced wild berry fruits. The tart finish leaves a gentle inner tension and hints of black raspberry.	Vinous	92		2026-03-20
2022	Le Cadeau	Pinot Noir 'Merci Reserve' Chehalem Mountains	Amaro cherries, ripe plums and figs alongside anise and cinnamon. The medium-bodied palate shows plush, dark-fruit flavors of black cherries and bitters, with spiced-oak tannins. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2026-03-19
2022	Domaine Porte Rouge	Chateauneuf du Pape	Less floral than the 2021 but richer and suppler in style, Porte Rouge's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape is full-bodied and creamy in texture, delivering lush waves of black cherry fruit and a long, velvety finish. It should be a beauty, but note that it's not scheduled to be bottled until October 2024.	Wine Advocate	94-96		2026-03-19
