2022 Laurenz V. Friendly Grüner Veltliner
Jonathan Cristaldi, Tasting Panel, July 2024
“From vineyards near the town of Langenlois, this wine shows fragrant notes of yellow apple, flinty minerals, and vanilla. The fleshy midpalate is balanced by zippy acidity and notes of melon, apricot, and peach.”

2022 Château La Verrerie Rosé
Wilfred Wong, Wilfred Wong, May 2024
“The 2022 La Verrerie Rosé is rewarding and persistent on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of fragrant spices, dried cherries, and earthy nuances. Try it with Pad Thai and see how wonderful this match could be.”

2022 Château La Verrerie Hautes Collines Viognier
Wilfred Wong, Wilfred Wong, May 2024
“The 2022 La Verrerie Méditerranée Hautes Collines Viognier is substantial and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine has intense tropical fruits, mangoes, and floral notes in aromas and flavors. Try it with grilled oysters topped with bacon.”
88-90 points
2021 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, May 2024
“As usual, this bottling shows more substance than the la Petite Ruche. The 2021 Crozes Hermitage les Meysonniers delivers peppery spice and ripe cherries and blueberries in a medium-bodied format. Silky, pure and elegant, it finishes long, with a slightly tart edge.”
89-91 points
2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Blanc
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, May 2024
“The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine Blanc—tasted as a tank sample in the summer of 2023—boasts attractive aromas of clover honey, fresh limes, white peaches and crushed stone. Only medium to full-bodied, I'd prefer to see a bit more richness in this wine, but it's clean, crisp and nicely balanced. This vintage is about 80% Clairette from Croix de Bois and 20% Grenache Blanc from the other (western) side of the appellation, all fermented and matured in demi-muids, 15% new.”

2021 Crasto Altitude 430
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024
“The 1,400 foot-altitude of this vineyard of Tinta Francisca and Touriga Nacional has given the wine a pale ruby color. It also shows in the cool character of the aroma of intense crushed cherries. The wine is juicy with raspberry and peppered strawberry flavors. Drink from 2025. Suitable for vegans.”

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Blanc
Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, April 2024
““Full, expressive nose of candied citrus, dried pear and vanilla that pulls you into this very structured, full-bodied white Chateauneuf, which has energetic acidity for this hot and dry vintage. The positive, fine tannins really help to drive this cuvee with clairette from the extreme east of the appellation and grenache blanc from the extreme west. This was vinified in a mix of demi-muid and foudre oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.””

2021 Laurenz V. Charming Grüner Veltliner
Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, February 2024
“A medium-bodied white marked by white cherry, lemon oil and chamomile flavors. Boasts bittersweet lemon-lime acidity, which offsets the richness of custard and white mocha elements through the well-hewn finish. Drink now. 400 cases imported.”

2020 Tinto Pesquera Crianza
Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, September 2023
“Creamy oak spices and chocolate that have integrated with the dark cherry and blackberry fruit. Chewy on the full-bodied palate with tight wood tannins that need a few years to integrate. That said, there is enough intensity and weight to hold this structure. Better from 2025.”

2018 Condado de Haza Alenza Gran Reserva
Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, September 2023
“Plenty of pine cone, hazelnut and sweet vanilla spices to the minty blackberries and red fruit. Juicy and tight on the palate with a medium to full body and a tightly wound, lengthy finish. Vanilla and coconut at the end. A lot of wood here, but it will come around in a few years after the wood tannins integrate more. Try in 2025.”

2018 Tinto Pesquera Millenium Gran Reserva
Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, September 2023
“Complex nose with plenty of sweet spices, pine cones, vanilla and black walnuts to the blackberries and black mushrooms. A hint of bergamot. Tight and creamy on the palate. Don’t be put off by the wood tannins if you open it and drink it while it is young. The fine-grained tannins mesh nicely with the full-bodied palate.”

2018 Tinto Pesquera Janus Gran Reserva
Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, September 2023
“Showing plenty of hazelnuts, pine cones, sweet spices and vanilla characters. There is also a streak of minerality alongside the deep and fresh blackberries with a hint of tar. Tons of dusty tannins on the full-bodied palate with juicy berries, before an extremely long and creamy finish with vanilla, blueberries and orange peel at the end. Not a subtle wine, but it flatters with its exuberance and it has a lot to offer. Drink from 2025.”
