2022	Sandro De Bruno	Soave Classico	This golden Soave enchants with honeyed and wild flower aromas, complemented by bitter almond and expressed orange zest. Roasted apple flavors with hints of caramelization open the palate with a richness that is balanced by notes of orange peel and pith. The wine finishes with a memorable minerality that haunts the memory. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2024-07-30
2023	Pierrail	Bordeaux Blanc	This is a herbal wine, its cut-grass aroma and tight acidity giving freshness and a tightly wrought texture. The wine’s light lemon fruits and acidity are in balance. Drink now. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-07-30
2023	Trentadue	OPR Sauvignon Blanc	This wine is fresh, zesty with aromas of guava, yellow apple, white flowers and bright acidity on the nose.

2022	Trentadue	OPR Red	This wine is bright, lively with aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, cardamom spice, violet and dried herbs on the nose.

2020	Rocca di Castagnoli	Chianti Classico Riserva 'Poggio a' Frati'	Offering an alluring combination of ripe cherry, raspberry and currant fruit, Tuscan scrub and iron, this red is succulent and elegant, its supple texture offset by lightly chewy tannins. Shows excellent balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2043.	Wine Spectator	94		2024-07-24
2022	Quintay	Pinot Noir 'Clava' Casablanca Valley	Great value from Ximena Klein, this juicy, perfumed Pinot Noir has appealing rose petal and vanilla aromas, a palate of summer pudding fruit, a touch of granitic tension and supple, caressing tannins. Very drinkable.	Tim Atkin	90		2024-07-22
2022	Domaine de Fondrèche	Persia	I loved the 2022 Ventoux Persia, a pure, vibrant Ventoux based on mostly Syrah with 10% Mourvèdre. Ripe black, red, and blue fruit, lots of peppery herbs, violets, and floral notes, medium body, beautiful overall balance, and ripe, integrated tannins all make for a gorgeous 2022 that will drink nicely right out of the gate.

2020	Domaine de Fondrèche	Divergente	The 2020 Ventoux Divergente also has more than a hint of Northern Rhône-like vibe in its black raspberry, flowers, smoked game, burning ember, and liquid violet aromas and flavors. Possessing incredible purity of fruit as well as medium to full-bodied richness, it has regal, polished tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. This needs plenty of air to show at its best, so I suspect it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and show fabulously well over the following decade. Hats off to Sebastien Vincenti for another brilliant wine.	Jeb Dunnuck	96		2024-07-16
2020	Bhilar	Struggling Vines Phinca Hapa Blanco	Strictly speaking a white wine, but as it spends two months on its lees it is listed here with the orange wines. This is an original style, aiming to deliver all the character from the grape skins into the wine by extending the maceration period. This results in a complex nose of dessicated fruit and wild herbs. Savoury on the palate, with a long finish. With time, this will develop greater complexity.	Decanter	92		2024-07-16
2022	Domaine de Fondrèche	Blanc AOP Ventoux	Based on 30% each Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Clairette with 10% Rolle that saw an extended cold soak after pressing, the 2022 Ventoux Domaine is incredibly aromatic with its exotic citrus, pink grapefruit, white flowers, and chalky mineral-driven nuances. These all carry to a very fresh, medium-bodied, focused, undeniably delicious white that has good acidity, plenty of richness, and a great finish. It's a singular, exotic, incredibly perfumed white.
