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
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
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
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.

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
2023	Ocean Road	Chardonnay	This is an ultra-fruity Chardonnay that, while crowd-pleasing, drinks more like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris than a Chard. There’s punchy candied peach and green apple Jolly Rancher. The vibrant palate shows perhaps a touch of residual sugar with plenty of tangy, green apple and lime acidity to counter it. Best Buy.

2021	Gota	Dão Tinto 'Prunus Private Selection'	An intense jammy bedrock of blueberry and damson offset with a lively herbaceous and white pepper lift; succulent and juicy with a long, refreshing finish. Stunning!	Decanter	95		2024-02-16
2016	Marziano Abbona	Barolo 'Pressenda'	Super silky and delineated, this red packs a laser beam of cherry, raspberry, rose and mint aromas and flavors. Still taut and a bit austere, yet continues to unfurl slowly on the long, mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2025 through 2043. 1,100 cases made, 50 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	93		2024-02-14
2021	Marziano Abbona	Barbera d'Alba 'Rinaldi'	A sleek, stylish red highlighted by blackberry, black cherry liqueur and violet aromas and flavors. Juicy and harmonious, with a seamless texture and intensity from the beginning to the long finish. Drink now through 2029. 3,500 cases made, 150 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	93		2024-02-14
2019	Marziano Abbona	Barolo 'Pressenda'	Delivers a range of cherry, strawberry, iron, tobacco and eucalyptus flavors. Starts with a supple texture, giving way to sinewy tannins as this plays out on the finish. A tad dry, but long. Best from 2027 through 2042. 380 cases made.	Wine Spectator	91		2024-02-14
