2022 Donnafugata Sedàra
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2025
“Spicy and intense, the 2022 Rosso La Bella Sedàra blossoms with a display of crushed blackberry, blood orange, sage and ashen stone. Silken textures wash across the palate, offset by cool-toned acidity, as a wave of ripe wild berry fruits and citrus tones adds saturating tension toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, it leaves a resonance of bitter dark chocolate and edgy tannins to fade slowly through the structured finale.”

2023 Donnafugata Bell'Assai
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2025
“The 2023 Frappato Bell'Assai opens like a basket of blackberries laced with violets, sage and a hint of fresh tobacco. Juicy in character, it offers a savory core of wild berry fruits elevated by cooling acidity. Nuances of lavender pastille resonate over a coating of crisp tannins as the 2023 tapers off with a lovely fresh persona. Incredibly pretty, the 2023 keeps the palate aching for more.”

Piper Sonoma Brut Rosé
Beverage Dynamics, November 2025
“Piper Sonoma has certainly earned its reputation for producing high quality sparkling wines for decades. This lovely and vibrant rosé serves to reinforce that reputation. A lovely pink salmon in the glass, the nose and palate are dominated by bright red fruit. The vibrant acidity, in addition to the elegant fruit, contribute to the extended finish, and the wine's pairing with a wide range of dishes.”

2023 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa County
Beverage Dynamics, December 2025
“With more than 94% cabernet sauvignon, this wine demonstrates the power and finesse that people have come to expect from Napa cabernets. Exceptionally deep color in the glass, the nose and palate reflect the complexity and power of the wine. Black cherry and berries, with notes of cocoa and baking spices add to the flavor and lingering finish. ”

2022 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa County
Tasting Panel, September 2025
“The wine ripples with plush Tuscan leather and bright, juicy plum and cherry. The oak treatment and fruit profile is sophistication incarnate, with cassis, dark chocolate and baking spices that blossom with balance and measured precision. Tannins are soft yet defined, with a Cabernet Sauvignon that is categorically self-assured. ”

2019 Isole e Olena 'Cepparello' Toscana IGT
James Suckling, James Suckling, March 2025
“Savory, almost meaty profile in this vintage, with lush red cherries and blood oranges, as well as balsamic depth with a kind of pine-resin character. Full-bodied, it shows density and extraction with ripe fruit and a clean, powerful finish. Super fresh aftertaste. Drink or hold”

2020 Isole e Olena 'Cepparello' Toscana IGT
Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2024
“The 2020 Cepparello is a total stunner, just as it was last year. Deeply colored, layered and explosive in the glass, the 2020 possesses striking textural richness and overall intensity. Black cherry, graphite, plum, spice and lavender flesh out effortlessly. There's tremendous pedigree and sheer stature here. Cepparello is surely one of the wines of the year.”

2022 Trenel Pouilly-Fuissé
Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, May 2025
“This wine is bright with a fresh bouquet of lemon zest, acacia, lemongrass, and wet stone. The textured palate layers citrus pith, mushroom, white tea, and leads to a savory-lemongrass mid-palate. Bright acidity lifts an umami-driven finish, making it an ideal pairing for spicy shrimp noodle dishes. ”

2012 Rare Millésimé Brut
Audrey Frick, Wine Spectator, September 2024
“A graceful Champagne that waltzes across the palate, with a fine, plush mousse carrying a lovely range of ripe black cherry, pureed raspberry, candied ginger, Mandarin orange peel, grilled nut and pastry flavors enlivened by a vibrant spine of lemony acidity. To a certain extent, the precision and elegance belies the focus and breadth on display, so sip this slowly and enjoy as it opens in the glass and expands on the palate, echoing on the finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2040”

2012 Rare Millésimé Brut
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, December 2024
“Golden yellow-hued, the 2012 Champagne Millésime has notes of pineapple, brûléed citrus, honeyed ginger, and lemon curd. Round and full, it offers a pillowy mousse with a long finish. It has more ripeness than the 2013 but has fantastic underlying tension and acidity. It’s deceiving, as it is quite approachable now but also has the bones to age over the coming decades.”
