2020 Donnafugata Cuordilava Dolce&Gabbana
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, October 2025
“Coming from the best selection from all their vineyards, the 2020 Etna Rosso Cuordilava was aged for one year in second- and third-year passage French oak barrels. It pours a medium red color with a light orange tinge, with the nose revealing notes of sandalwood, cherries, clove, Mediterranean herbs, and crushed flowers. Medium-bodied, it boasts an additional level of refinement, featuring a silky texture, with even tannins and a balanced feel. It’s ready to enjoy now, although it should also provide another 10-15 years of enjoyment ahead. ”

Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025
“Wild strawberry, wild cherry, mandarin blossom, crushed rocks, wild oregano and thyme on the nose, then more sweet fresh wild berries on the palate anchored in more savory wild herbs and damp earth. A hint of chocolate paves the way for a finish that soars with salinity. ”

2020 Donnafugata Cuordilava Dolce&Gabbana
Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2025
“The 2020 Etna Rosso Cuordilava Dolce & Gabbana is distinctly savory and floral, blending green olives and ashen stones with cedar shavings and dried strawberries. It's soft-textured, round and more feminine than anticipated, with tart wild berry fruits that pepper the senses with a coating of crunchy minerals. Nuances of blood orange combine with licorice and spice as the 2020 tapers off tannic yet still fresh. The Cuordilava is a blend of selections from a mix of Donnafugata's vineyards on Etna.”

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, December 2025
“Round and mouthfilling yet not heavy, this offers a mix of meaty notes and red fruit flanked by dusty red earth and bacon lard. The tannins are finely polished, for a ripe, chewy profile, with a subtle tug of tar, which adds to the brooding density. Very solid. Drink now through 2033. 200 cases imported”

2023 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge
Michael Apstein, Wine Review Online, December 2025
“Chapoutier, one of the top Rhône producers, consistently makes a winsome Crozes-Hermitage, from the generally flatter and larger appellation surrounding the exalted Hermitage hill. Their Syrah-based, mid-weight 2023 Les Meysonniers, made from organically grown grapes, displays fresh and lively red fruit notes overlain with peppery nuances. Mild tannins make it an easy choice for current drinking with wintertime fare.”

2019 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024
“The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine—Chapoutier's négociant wine from this appellation—is an assemblage of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, from a mix of soil types. Aged predominantly in concrete, with a small amount in demi-muids of 20 hectoliters, there's a hint of almond on the nose, alongside ripe cherries. Smooth and silky, this full-bodied wine is expansive and supple on the palate, a solid effort.”
