2022	Lobster Reef	Pinot Noir	A cool, minty note opens and, after some swirling in glass, makes way for a cocktail bitters-like combo of dried red and orange fruit, spices and herbs. The palate is lightweight with tongue-tingling acidity and a chalky tannic backbone. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-02-20
2020	Susie Bynum	Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon	This opulent, full-bodied wine is bold in dark plums and dark chocolate aromas. These lead to a weighty palate of dried plums and dried cherries laced with cedar, toast and cinnamon from oak aging. Drink now–2028.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2024-02-20
2019	Ramírez de la Piscina	Crianza	Aromas of black currant and sautéed portobello mushroom lead the way for cassis, blackberry, charcuterie, black-olive paste, smoke, dried thyme and caramel flavors. While the flavor profile leans towards savory rather than fruit-dominant, sturdy tannins and well-balanced acidity make for a nice pour. Best Buy. #75 of Wine Enthusiast’s Top-Rated Wines Under $20 for 2024	Wine Enthusiast	91		2024-02-20
2022	Dunham	Shirley Mays Chardonnay	Surely it would be difficult to find a better bang for the Chardonnay buck than the Mays. Tropical papaya, macadamia nut and grass skirt aromas sway in the air, followed by flavors of ripe mango, butter, coriander and honey. The wine’s rich, almost creamy texture is balanced by zippy acidity.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2024-02-20
2021	Frey	Zinfandel Mendocino	This wine is concentrated with expressive fruit, black currant jam, blueberry, cinnamon and fresh caramel. Super bright and juicy, it offers balanced acidity that lifts the midpalate.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2024-02-20
