Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut
William Kelley, Wine Advocate, September 2020
“The new release of Piper-Heidsieck's NV Cuvée Brut is performing nicely, delivering notes of toasted brioche, yellow orchard fruit, peach, honeycomb and biscuits. Medium to full-bodied, it is elegantly fleshy and precise, with lively acids, well-integrated dosage and a pinpoint mousse.”

2018 Palacios Remondo La Montesa
Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, June 2020
“The quality/price champion 2018 La Montesa is now 100% Garnacha from organically farmed vineyards from the 100-hectare family property that gives the wine its name. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats and matured in barriques, 85% of them produced with French oak and the rest with American oak. It feels very young, and the oak is still present; and the American oak, which is spicy and smoky, with ashy incense and vanilla with some sweet undertones, gives it a character that brings back the character of the traditional wines from yesteryear in a very clean way. It has vibrant freshness and should develop nicely with a couple of years in bottle. It has great purity and typicity, less Mediterranean than the 2017, nicely textured, velvety. I think the breakthrough vintage for this wine was 2015. This has all the grapes that would have been used for the Propiedad label, which was not bottled separately in 2018. It carries the EU organic-farming label. It's quite impressive for the quantity they produce—700,000 bottles. They started bottling in April 2020 from a single master blend. I tasted one of the first bottles.”

2019 Crios Torrontés
Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, October 2019
“The just-bottled 2019 Críos Torrontés felt a bit reductive and with the influence of the sulfur in the bottling. But underneath, there are notes of white peach and some citrus, and of course, the orange blossom and Moscatel pulp sensations. It has a combination of the Salta wilderness and the cooler side from the Valle de Uco, as it's a blend from both places. 324,000 bottles produced.”

2018 Borgo Conventi Friulano
Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, October 2020

Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, October 2020
“Editors' Choice. Enticing aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, hay and crushed tomato vine leap out of the glass in this fragrant, inviting white. The savory, racy palate delivers juicy white grapefruit, white peach and grilled herb alongside crisp acidity. Lemon drop candy and tangy oyster shell notes linger on the close.”

2017 Villa Sandi Superiore di Cartizze La Rivetta Prosecco DOCG
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, June 2018
“Here is a zesty and very attractive wine from Villa Sandi. The 2017 Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Vigna la Rivetta Brut is a food-friendly expression with a frank, open and generous personality. You could pair this Italian sparkler with raw seafood or summer salads with flaxseeds, herbs and fresh cheese. I think previous releases were non-vintage, but this bottle definitely has the vintage date on display.”
