JUAN GIL BLUE LABEL 2021-Bodegas Juan Gil
An aromatic thread of toast, licorice, vanilla and Mediterranean macchia winds through generous flavors of plum sauce and blackberry paste. Full-bodied but fresh and well-structured, this red is firmed by chalky, integrated tannins that sculpt the long, lasting finish.
-
PIPER-HEIDSIECK CHAMPAGNE CUVEEE BRUT-Piper-Heidsieck
A vivacious Champagne, this shows flavors of black cherry, toast point, white peach puree and salted almond set on a finely detailed mousse. Creamy and mouthwatering on the spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay
-
CUVEE RESERVEE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2019-Domaine du Pegau
Dark and brooding, this has serious heft, with tightly coiled plum reduction and black licorice offset by savory tea, menthol, smoked meat and iodine. A great example of an old-school style, with mineral intensity building and salty iron and grippy tannins carrying the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre
-
LES HAUTS DE BARVILLE CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2022-Brotte
There's beautiful fruit purity on display in this wine, with fresh Bosc pear, star fruit, fresh-cut chives and thyme. Buttercream details add to the lushness, while bitterness, chalk-fine tannins and notes of flint bring structure and balance. A very harmonious white. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.
-
CONCRETO MALBEC 2020-Zuccardi Wines
Deeply aromatic, with blood orange and plumeria notes and a palate of spiced plum and sour cherry, plus a pleasant wave of minerally acidity chiming in and carrying the flavors on to the finish.
-
LUCENTE 2020-Luce della Vite
Both rich and salty, this red expresses black currant, cherry and plum flavors framed by cedar, tobacco and toasty oak. Turns more elegant midpalate through the finish, where refreshing acidity, refined tannins and spice notes linger. Merlot and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2028. 33,333 cases made, 6,500 cases imported.
-
EL CANDADO PEDRO XIMENEZ SHERRY-Valdespino
Offers layers of macerated date, ganache, warm caraway, buckwheat honey and chocolate-covered orange peel notes, with a deep, intense finish that lets a wonderfully smoky hint curl through. The power is obvious, the range and definition more subtle. Drink now.
-
CIACCI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Dusky cherry and plum flavors are the main themes in this red, with accents of leather, spices and wild herbs. Lively and focused, with excellent harmony and a sequel of ripe cherry on the lingering finish.
-
RAVENTOS I BLANC DE LA FINCA 2020-Raventos i Blanc
Sleek and well-knit, with a fine creamy bead carrying flavors of white raspberry, preserved lemon, white blossoms and Marcona almond. Shows linear focus and definition, but expands nicely through the midpalate and finish. Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Disgorged April 2023. Drink now through 2028.

DOMAINE DE SÉNÉCHAUX CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2019-Domaine des Senechaux
Dark, with a muscular core of blackberry, black currant and black Mission fig flavors that rumble through, laced with charcoal, cast iron and licorice root notes. Features a broad swath of tobacco and savoriness on the finish, lending cut and drive. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
-
UGOLFORTE BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017-San Giorgio
Tightly wound, this red evokes cherry, raspberry, plum, iron and tobacco flavors, with a solid tannic spine giving this support and a firm grip on the lingering finish. Tips a wee bit to the tannins in overall harmony, yet this is complex and long. Best from 2025
