Barolo ‘Ravera’ |
The 2021 Barolo Ravera is another terrific wine from Marziano Abbona. Rose petal, chalk, mint, blood orange and cinnamon are beautifully delineated in this salivating, nervy Barolo. Brisk acids and beams of supporting tannin —signatures of this site—extend the mid-palate and finish effortlessly. |

Barolo 'Cerviano Merli' |
The 2020 Barolo Cerviano-Merli is soft, open-knit and very easy to like. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint, macerated cherry, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco give this mid-weight Barolo lovely aromatic presence. The 2020 is quite delicate, lithe and understated, with fine balance and lovely persistence. |

Silvano Bolmida |
Barolo ‘Bussia’ |
The ruby-colored 2020 Barolo Bussia lifts with ripe notes of mixed berries and cherry candies, toasted cedar, pressed flowers, and sweet herbs. It has a medium-bodied frame on the palate, with ripe concentration and good freshness, as well as refined tannins that turn a touch dusty on the finish. All in all, it’s a very nice wine to enjoy over the next 6-8 years. |

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon |
Teeth-grabbing tannins and plum skin add tension while cola, coffee, licorice, and graphite broaden the generously lengthy, multilayered finish. |

Dancing Crow Vineyards |
Zinfandel North Coast |
The vast majority of this Zinfandel blend came from vines planted in the 1950s in the Calpella area of Mendocino County, whose cool climate contributed to even ripening and a pure, impeccably balanced character. Fresh but also flavorful, it's a classy wine. |
