2020	Cape Mentelle	Sauvignon Blanc Semillon	Extended stainless steel ferment at very low temperatures with cultured yeast. Opens with passion fruit/tropical florals on the bouquet, tightening up with a stream of citrussy acidity channeling along the tongue, the finish bight and breezy.	James Halliday	94		2024-10-04
2017	Nicodemi	Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva 'Neromoro'	Deep ruby with a purple hue, the 2017 Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Neromoro opens with a mentholated herbal freshness followed by cedar shavings, balsamic spices and dusty black currants. This floods the palate with silken textures, verging on velvet, with a core of ripe red and black fruits propelled by brisk acidity, as edgy tannins add grip toward the close. This tapers off with outstanding length and potent concentration yet is lightly structured, leaving a spicy sensation and hints of licorice that fade slowly. The Neromoro hails from pergola-trained vines planted in 1970. It's refined in 40% new French barriques. The next vintage produced will be the 2020, as Nicodemi only makes the wines in years that they believe are superior.	Vinous	93		2024-10-01
2023	Ryan Patrick	Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley	A fresh, lemony sauvignon blanc that has notes of sliced pears, peaches and lemon blossoms on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, cool and clean. Relatively restrained. Drink now. Screw cap.	James Suckling	90		2024-10-01
2021	Lumos	Pinot Noir 'Temprance Hill' Eola-Amity Hills	Lumos and Temperance Hill are a match made in pinot heaven. This latest vintage opens with aromas of sweet raspberry pastilles and tart lemonade. It’s a winning combination. Tarter red raspberries show up on the palate, joined by mint and thyme flavors. The wine’s silky texture matches with plush tannins and lemony acidity. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2024-10-01
2020	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran	Aged for three years in a mix of small, large and older barrels, the wine is impressive. Smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins show the concentration of the wine. Blending mainly Tannat with the two Cabernets, the wine is full of black-plum flavors, laced with still-young acidity. Drink from 2026. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2024-10-01
2019	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Sanguine aromas emerge from a layer of black plum, black cherry, seamlessly melding with violets and eucalyptus. With further aeration, a meaty undertone and black olive emerge, creating a remarkably complex nose. The palate offers vibrant blueberry, subtly dusted in oak spice, with earthy mushroom tones adding depth and intrigue.	Wine Enthusiast	96		2024-10-01
2021	Olivier Cazenave	Bel a Ciao Vin Orange Sans Souffre	This is floral and on the lighter side, with notes of green fig, spice and lime zest, plus a pure, moderate finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-10-01
