AROHA TE MUNA 2020-Craggy Range
This is a very stylish, plump and fleshy pinot that has a sweetly spicy, floral and fragrant nose with ripe red and dark cherries, as well as sappy, forest leaves and gentle, earthy tones. Complex, young and fresh. The palate has such supple and sappy cherries and blueberries with a fresh, tangy line of acidity and a long, polished finish. Impressive.
-
CONCRETO MALBEC 2020-Zuccardi Wines
What a perfumed nose with plenty of violets, iodine, blueberries and mineral. Lots of sappy fruit with fine-grained tannins that tightly wrap the full-bodied palate. Pristine, concentrated and quintessential. A selection of the stoniest soils from Paraje Altamira. 100% whole-bunch fermentation. Needs at least two years to soften the tannins
-
RUTINI CHARDONNAY 2022-Rutini Wines
Dried herbs with lemon curd, pie crust, licorice and stone on the nose. Not overly fruity, but it doesn’t lack fruit either. Medium- to full-bodied with a nice mineral tweak to the limpid fruit. Transparent before it turns creamy at the end, with a long but rather subtle finish. A consistent chardonnay that shows excellent quality.
-
RUTINI CABERNET FRANC MALBEC 2021-Rutini Wines
A spicy, vibrant red of 50% cabernet franc and 50% malbec. Plenty of baking spices, smoke and savory berries on the nose that extend to a nicely fluid, medium-bodied palate with silky tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now
-
LUCENTE 2020-Luce della Vite
A rich and flavorful red showing subtle cocoa powder, roasted spices, cassis and sweet berries. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fine tannins and a long, polished finish.
-
PIANROSSO BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Sweet berries and cherries on the nose, together with fresh violet and lilac notes. Full body with juicy tannins and a flavorful finish that opens on the palate. Lots of ripe cherry flavor. Tar, too. A rich and layered Pianrosso. One of the bigger, riper wines of the vintage, but still holds true.
-
CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE NOIRS EXTRA BRUT 2018-Philipponnat
Multilayered fruit profile here, with green apple, fresh strawberry and pure chalk minerality. Biscuity charcater in the background. The attack is intense, with full body, pinprick bubbles, savory charcater, vibrant and zesty, integrated acidity and a refined, lonf and powerfull finish. Just a bit warmer and riper in the aftertaste. 100% pinot noir.
-
PIEROPAN CALVARINO 2022-Pieropan
The first single-vineyard created here, in the late 18th century. More black soil than in the Soave Classico. This is very good, meshing the inherent ripeness of the vintage with a mineral-infused pungency. Green apples, quince and stone fruit. Yet the feel is linear, cool and taut, with a growing trajectory of fruit sweetness across the long, energetic finish. A pithy exclamation to close. Drink or hold.
-
CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE CUVEE RESERVEE 2023-Domaine du Pegau
This excellent white Chateauneuf combines creamy richness and citrusy freshness in a compelling way. Stacks of pomelo and grapefruit character on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, structured finish with excellent fresh sage and citrus rind complexity. A cuvee of 60% clairette, 20% grenache blanc, 10% bourboulenc and 10% roussanne. Fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel.

RAVENTOS I BLANC DE LA FINCA 2020-Raventos i Blanc
A broad nose with good depth, full of creamy and yeasty notes with white fruit, chalk and seashells. Intense and concentrated flavors with a medium to full body and a refined, creamy mousse that lasts to the lengthy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
-
RAVENTOS I BLANC DE LA FINCA 2021-Raventos i Blanc
A broad nose with good depth, full of creamy and yeasty notes with white fruit, chalk and seashells. Intense and concentrated flavors with a medium to full body and a refined, creamy mousse that lasts to the lengthy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
-
CIACCI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Sour cherries with stone and bark undertones to the aromas. Medium body, firm tannins and a long, linear finish that ends tight. But this will soften with some age. Subtle bark and dried mushroom character at the end. Drink after 2025, but already pretty.
