2016 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec
Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2019
“The ripe 2016 Altura Máxima Malbec seems to follow the path of the 2015, with pungent aromas of black olives, damp earth, decayed violets and malted cereals that give it a decadent profile. This hits the scale at 15% alcohol, but the palate feels a lot lighter, with a strong strike of acidity going through its core and lifting it up. This is a unique wine from grapes grown at 3,100 meters in altitude (yes, you read it correctly, that's 3,100 meters in altitude!) where the intensity of the light makes for thick skins and an explosion of flavors and aromas. The tannins are really fine and polished and give it a nice texture. It's clean and long and feels light but with lots of inner strength. A unique Malbec. 8,400 bottles were filled in August 2018”

2015 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec
Corey Warren, Wine & Spirits, June 2022
“Donald Hess planted his Altura Máxima vineyard in 2007 at a dizzying 10,207 feet above sea level. Perhaps that’s why it takes this malbec takes time to emerge from hiding, though it’s saline from start to finish. After two days open, its structure is broad, and though the flavors are restrained (a smoky umeboshi plum note), the austerity called to mind a salt flat. The tannins seem to cluster in the center of your tongue, and would be nice with char-grilled chicken thighs.”

2018 Donnafugata Tancredi Dolce&Gabbana
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2022
“The 2018 Tancredi Dolce & Gabbana is a deep purple color in the glass, with a dark and moody mix of plum sauce, black currants, grilled herbs and balsamic spice. It's silky-smooth and elegant with medium-bodied weight, getting depths of black and red wild berry fruits, hints of sour citrus and mocha. Fine tannins are left to linger through the incredibly long and lightly structured finale, as inner violet florals and hints of salted licorice taper off. The Tancredi is primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Ner d'Avla and Tannat, and it is refined for a year in new barriques. It's a very pretty, yet deep, wine that needs a bit of cellaring to come fully into focus.”

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, May 2022
“Rich hints of toast and mocha underscore the crème de cassis, fig cake and cigar box notes on display in this harmonious medium- to full-bodied red. The tannins are dense yet well-meshed, emerging on the mineral-laced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola and Tannat. ”

2020 Donnafugata SurSur
Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, December 2021
“Editor's Choice. This bright, savory white shows why Grillo is so popular right now. It opens with heady scents of white spring blossom, white stone fruit and wild Mediterranan herb. Crisp and tangy, the incredibly enjoyable palate doles out juicy white peach, cantaloupe and saline mineral notes.”

2021 Donnafugata SurSur
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2022
“The 2021 Grillo SurSur bursts from the glass with candied lemon offsetting tropical sour melon and floral tones. This impresses further with a pleasant inner sweetness contrasted by zesty green citrus and bright acidity. It finishes with medium length and leaves the palate with a dash of mouthwatering tension. The 2021 is a total pleasure and the perfect wine for the dog days of summer.”

2018 M by Michael Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon
James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, October 2022
“A ripe, polished style, with currant, plum and blackberry preserves lined with mocha-accented toast, sweet tobacco and melted licorice. Stays reserved in feel overall and relies a bit on the toast, but there's ample fruit in reserve. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2034. ”

Refined and precise, with a medium to full body teeming with blackberries. A natural, supple acidity is rounded by plenty of dusty tannins, Shows restraint and elegance in its long, subtle finish. Drink now.”
