La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva' |
Pine, eucalyptus, Mediterranean scrub, cherry, blackberry, plum and mineral flavors abound in this multifaceted red. Tightens up as the pointed tannins flex on the finish yet remains long and fresh on the finish. Shows balance and excellent potential. Best from 2029 through 2046. |

Aromas of black currants, dark cherries and plums with notes of cedar, dried herbs, sweet spices and earth. The full-bodied palate has firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a generous, fruit-driven finish with a savory edge. Drink or hold. |

Annabella |
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley |
Sometimes the most attractive attribute of a $30 Cabernet from the Napa Valley is the name of the appellation on label, but this is an entirely credible specimen of the breed. It shows very appealing dark fruit aromas and flavors with just enough oak to enhance the wine's complexity without seeming overly assertive. |

Napa 1847 |
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley |
This looks and tastes as though it might cost $80 rather than half that price. Deep pigment concentration indicates that something serious is on the way even before a sniff or sip, and the wine follows through with very appealing aromas as well as dark toned fruit showing impressive density and depth of flavor. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino |
Black cherry and blackberry fruit occupy center stage in this dense, muscular red. Beefy tannins provide support, while vibrant acidity keeps this lively and long on the finish, where iron, tomato leaf and Tuscan scrub add detail. All of the components are there; this just needs time. Best from 2030 through 2048. |

Boutinot |
Cotes du Rhone Villages 'Les Coteaux' |
Strappy licorice and plum paste notes are ripe and round, with earthy dimensions of salt, tapenade, dried herbs and lavender. Robust in feel, with a graphite spine and rooibos tea tannins to keep hold through the substantial, smoky finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 8,500 cases made, 4,500 cases imported. |

Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley |
The Trutina is a Merlot-based blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Black fruits and a core of earthy minerality light up the glass with expressive aromatics. The palate is concentrated and lush, with ripe blackberry fruits, peppery notes of spice, and sandalwood lending this wine a notable oak influence. Structured and with sweet spices leading well into the finish. |
