2019	Château Vieux Chevrol	Lalande de Pomerol	The 2019 Vieux Chevrol is laced with crushed raspberry, graphite, mint, rose petal and blood orange. A wine of real dimension and complexity, Vieux Chevron is beautifully persistent from start to finish. This Lalande de Pomerol has real energy to match its presence. Terrific.	Vinous	90		2024-05-31
2019	Valderiz	Juegabolos	In 2019, Juegabolos reached a new height. Less marked by the oak than in former vintages, with more expressive and very ripe black fruit, it is extremely young for a 2019. Very concentrated on the palate; still quite oaky and exuberant but showing amazing fruit and silky tannins beneath. The finish demands a lot of attention, because of its complex and refined expression. I would bet on this wine's future improvement - it would make a great investment.

2015	Valderiz	Tomás Esteban	Most original in style, this wine is a blend of Tempranillo with white varieties that are used to enhance colour and retain more good tannins in the wine. Despite its age - it is a 2015 - the wine is packed with lots of fruit and oak. Graphite. toasty and spicy aromas go together with developed blackberry fruit. Finely textured despite the high density, it caresses the palate. Long finish, on a great classic style. Such character.	Club Enologique Magazine	96		2024-05-28
2021	Carol Shelton	Zinfandel 'Wild Thing' Mendocino County	Right out of the briar patch, this Zin is appealingly rustic, with zesty cherry, cranberry, roasted sage and cracked pepper flavors. Drink now through 2031. 7,614 cases made. From California.	Wine Spectator	90		2024-05-24
2023	Pampelonne	Cotes de Provence Rose	The salmon-hued 2023 Rosé deftly balances ripe tropical and citrus fruit with juicy acidity, grip and inner sweetness. Bruléed grapefruit, papaya, pineapple and rosemary flesh out beautifully, evolving and gaining complexity with time in the glass. There's a lot of stuffing here. I especially admire the long, fresh finish. Nicely done. - Billy Norris	Vinous	91		2024-05-22
2023	Penya	Cotes Catalanes Rose	The 2023 Rosé, a light cotton candy pink in the glass, is smoky and sultry. Pear, toasted hazelnut and slate give an impression of seriousness, but juicy citrus tartness lights up the tongue and cheeks. The 10% Syrah in the blend lends some peppery tannins toward the close. This is cohesive and distinctive, and I like it for both of those reasons!	Vinous	90		2024-05-22
2023	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Rose 'Vielles Vignes'	The 2023 Rosé Cinsault is a pliant, joyful, ripe style of Rosé that wears its heart on its sleeve. Apricot, pineapple and limestone-derived minerality coast across the palate. Partial malolactic fermentation and aging for three months on fine lees yielded a nice creamy roundness here, counterbalancing the wine's natural citrusy nerve and steeliness. 2023 is a testament to the expressiveness that can derive from old-vine Cinsault. - Billy Norris	Vinous	91		2024-05-22
2022	Thomas Henry	Chardonnay Sonoma County	A winsome face belies a stout structure in this sun-kissed Chardonnay. Pretty aromas of pear, apple and lemon balm wrapped in lightly buttered toast and baking spice leave a charming first impression. Hints of jasmine, mango and an intriguing whiff of sea breeze give the wine depth and interest. But the real focus is on structure, a balanced and integrated marriage of fruit, oak and minerals that entices with both sumptuousness and vivacity. The medium-plus body sports a round, creamy midpalate, the medium-length finish crisply textured with taut vibrant acidity. The flavors are intense, bursting with lemon, vanilla, and ginger at midpalate with good fruit persistence and a touch of salinity on the finish, a sparkle like when salt hits the palate. Ripe but not too ripe, a bit of oak but restrained, neither underdressed nor overdone. A good effort.	The Sommelier Company	90		2024-05-21
2020	Marqués de Tomares	Crianza	The 2020 Crianza is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano sourced from Sotes, Cenicero, Huércanos and Oyón in Rioja. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet-hued wine presents aromas of wild herbs and black fruit, complemented by oak layers. On the palate, it is dry, rich and fairly taut with a lingering juicy profile, offering notes of black fruit and a clingy texture.	Vinous	90		2024-05-21
