Spicy reedy cherry and red-plum aromas open this high-acid sizzler from a cool vintage. Lean as a stick in terms of build, this tastes of raspberry, red plum and dry spices. A short but juicy and tig…
Black cherry, underbrush and tilled soil aromas lead the nose of this blend of 70% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. The polished yet firmly tannic palate delivers dark plum, cake spi…
This is indicated as a reserve-level selection, but at the moment remains unfocused, and even a bit dilute. Tart fruits and tight tannins never quite fit together. The drying finish carries a hint of…
Subtle plum, toast, underbrush and violet aromas slowly emerge in this Riserva. The firm palate offers black currant, sour cherry, dried sage and espresso, while taut, close-grained tannins leave an…

Stewed prune, espresso, and menthol aromas lead the nose, along with a whiff of leather. The warm, robust palate offers raisin, clove and licorice flavors, while fine-grained tannins provide support.…
The nose is very shy: a mere hint of earthiness emanates. The slender palate shows very clean fruit of yellow apple residing on a slender lemony palate. This is fresh and sprightly with a dry finish.…
This Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend opens with black-skinned fruit and incense aromas. The palate is straightforward, delivering black plum and vanilla flavors with a hint of leather. Round tann…
While it does have the structure of a Pommard, this is also a ripe, rounded wine. Its sweet red fruits surround the firm tannins offering richness. A wine that will offer sold pleasure in 3–4 years.
An interesting blend of equal parts Syrah and Mourvèdre wiith 8% Tannat, The Pepper Pot offers concentrated aromas and flavors of dark forest berries and fleshy black plums. A hint of leather and gam…
There's so much nuance and complexity in this rustic yet fascinating Croatian wine, that it takes a while to break down its components. Initial scents of dried leaves and mulch blow off to reveal an…
A classic Brunello with a savory, aged quality that exudes sophistication and elegance. Dried fruit, cassis, spice, old leather and rum cake form the bouquet. The wine is finely textured, sharp and c…
This wine strikes a nice balance between sweet and savory spice on the nose, with ripe fruit, prune and leather in the background. This is a velvety, warm, earthy wine with a broad aromatic delivery…
This Brunello shows elegant aromatic restraint in its tight aromas of wild berry and red currant. Dark flavors of barbecue spice, cured meat, leather and tobacco layer the midpalate, then turn fine a…
This Brunello shows aromas of leather and cured meat without much fresh fruit to hold it up. The structure and acidity is there, along with tertiary aromas of crushed mineral, asphalt, candied fruit…
Forward aromas of sweet spice and baked apple lead the nose, while secondary hints of cobbler and vanilla cream follow. The palate is lush and ripe, but it's kept in check by a streak of acidity that…
Here's a tight, streamlined Brunello characterized by a toasted or charred almond note and bright forest notes of wild berry and underbrush. The mouthfeel is lean and tight, and there's a tannic firm…
The wine is subdued and clean on the nose and it doesn't exaggerate or mask the quality of fruit. This is executed in a bright, compact and streamlined style that combines freshness and firmness.
This is a toasty, tasty, forward and easy-drinking Pinot Noir. Flavors of black cherry soda, cola and light toast are front and center, and the finish comes on clean and refreshing.
A crowd-pleasing Chardonnay aromatically suggestive of candied fruit and dried apricot, it offers a healthy dose of minerality amidst a well-composed structure. Striking the right balance between fle…
It leads with classic varietal aromas of stone fruit, crushed tomato vine and dried hay. The round palate delivers white peach, cantaloupe, and tropical fruit edged with notes of sage and mineral. Pa…
Freshly cut lemon and an earthy dimension make for an interesting nose. They lead to a poised, lemony-pure palate with an almost gentle touch, despite all the lemony freshness. Intriguing in its conc…
While fairly neutral on the nose with subtle aromas of apple and lemon, this off-dry Riesling is lush and fruity on the palate with flavors of white grapefruit and quince jelly. It's straightforward,…
Crisp, clean and fresh, this showcases yellow apple lightly dusted with cinnamon. Nicely balanced and immaculately rendered, it's perfect for those occasions when Chardonnay is just a bit too heavy.
