2024	Le Roi	Le Roi Rouge Cabernet Sauvignon	This would be a superb wine at three times the price, offering far more in flavor, texture and stability than most anything in its price class. Deep aromas of blackberry, peppercorn, woodspice and oregano lead from the nose into a rich palate that's lush but bone dry. Flavors of blue and red fruit are dusted in espresso and baking spice, finishing on a chocolate note. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2026-03-03
2021	Decibel	Red Blend Gimblett Gravels ‘Testify’	Inky in color, this blend of Malbec and Syrah has all the ripe, rich, hug-in-a-glass qualities you'd expect from the combo of these varieties. The pepper-sprinkled ripe dark berry fruit is etched in toasty, chocolate notes. Still quite primary and plump, it's a classic steak wine, but should gain more complexity with another several years in bottle.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
2022	Domaine Yves Cheron	Cotes du Rhone 'Les Dentelles'	Black-cherry fruit leather meets violet, rose, and garrigue in a generous nose that is both refined and inviting. The palate is silky yet layered, balancing dried currant, licorice, flint, and a subtle meaty tone against supple texture. Sophisticated and complex, this is the kind of versatile bottle that impresses equally on casual game night or formal dinner. Serve at cellar temperature. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
2024	Floriography	Blooming White	Floral aromas emerge on the nose of this blend made from aromatic white grapes like Chenin Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier, among others. It shows mild citrus and herbal flavors with moderate freshness lifting the palate. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
2021	Donati	The Immigrant' Red Paicines	A fun-to-drink wine with a meaningful label, this bottling offers strawberry compote, cinnamon stick, and white pepper aromas on the nose. Slow-rising acidity slices through the palate, where cherry and clove flavors harmonize.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2026-03-03
2024	Morgan	Chardonnay 'Highland' Santa Lucia Highlands	Tart and tangy aromas of lime peel and green apricot invite the nose into this zesty bottling. There's a tight weave to the palate, where flashy citrus flavors meet with warmer hints of stone fruit, all dusted in sea salt.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2026-03-03
2024	Giuliano Rosati	Pinot Grigio Friuli	Ripe pears and orchard fruits show real depth, while texture kicks things up a notch. The palate brings that classic Friuli weight without losing its fresh edge, everything staying balanced between power and lift. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
2024	Decibel	Chardonnay Hawke’s Bay ‘Testify’	Lovely reductive struck match characters are present but not overwhelming on this small batch Chardonnay from ex-pat American Daniel Brennan. Toast, nougat, and nectarine soar, with weight and power to the palate but with freshness and a subtle core of fruit amid the toastier, more lactic characters. This could cellar for several more years but is drinking pretty darn beautifully right now.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2026-03-03
2024	Decibel	Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe	Typical to Hawke's Bay, this is a lusher, more tropical-fruited Savvy B than those found in the South Island. Winemaker—and expat American—Daniel Brennan's wines always have that handcrafted, lo-fi appeal of small-batch winemaking. This single-vineyard bottling is no different. Spiced pineapple and peach, honeyed oatmeal, and ginger march to a palate that's less concentrated than the nose implies, but with a lovely balance of textural weight and mouthwatering acidity that makes this a pleasant drop outside the typical Savvy B canon. Hidden Gem.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2026-03-03
2023	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Not yet bottled but tasted as a final blend, the 2023 Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines delivers ripe, exotic aromatics of black and blue fruits, blood orange, violets, and incense, with some peppery nuances emerging with air. All the 2023s here have this exotic, lifted style, and this is medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Aging 24 months in 228-liter oak barrels with 15% to 20% new oak, it's going to need short-term cellaring to show its full potential.	Jeb Dunnuck	94-96		2026-02-27
