2022 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023
“The 2022 Anthìlia is airy and floral, with sweet smoke and crushed stones giving way to young peach. It's silky-smooth, more textural than expected, with lime-tinged orchard fruits and sour melon that add a lovely inner tension. The 2022 tapers off crisply refreshing with medium length and tropical citrus notes. Anthìlia is primarily produced using Catarratto and a small number of interplanted white varieties.”

2022 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, August 2023
“Lemon, lime and yellow and green apple aromas meet tennis ball and turf on the nose, and the palate keeps the citrus but points up nutty and saline notes with a bright acidity.”

2022 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Tom Hyland, Italian Wine Report, March 2023
“Primarily Cataratto (aka Lucido) blend with other indigenous varities. Bright, medium deep yellow; aromas of papaya, melon and honeysuckle - really lovely! Medium-bodied, there is impressive texture, lively acidity and very good persistence. This is quite delicious and a true crowd pleaser, with its beautiful freshness. Enjoy over the next 2-3 years as an apertif or paired with sweet and sour pork.”

2022 Donnafugata Bell'Assai
Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024
“The 2022 Frappato Vittoria Bell'Assai wafts up with purity, displaying an array of violets, lavender, crushed blackberries and a complicating whiff of dusty earth. Round and juicy in style, it possesses cooling acidity and crisp wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. The 2022 finishes wickedly fresh and with medium length, leaving a pleasantly crunchy, mouthwatering sensation behind on the close. The Bell'Assai would make an excellent pairing for a wide variety of cuisine.”

2018 Piper-Heidsieck Vintage Brut
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, December 2024
“The 2018 Champagne Millésime Brut displays a bright yellow/straw color and is expressive on opening, leading with notes of buttered brioche, poached pear, espresso crema, and preserved citrus. The palate is ripe and inviting, with a rounded and pillowing mousse and a soft juicy texture. It offers a generous feel and a delicate warmth on the finish. It is drinking well out of the gate and offers more immediate appeal for drinking over the coming 4-6 years.”

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, December 2024
“A bright yellow color, the NV Champagne Cuvee Brut is generous and classic on the nose with notes of toasted brioche, buttered citrus, and caramel red apples. It fills the palate with a pillowing mousse, and its ripe profile becomes more savory through the finish. This solid and highly charming cuvée wou;d be perfect for parties and as an aperitif to enjoy over the near-term.”

2021 Emblem Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
James Suckling, James Suckling, September 2024
“Fresh aromas of blackcurrants, licorice and spices. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and acidity, showing notes of blackberries, cedar and potpourri. A fruit-driven wine that will evolve nicely in the bottle. Drink or hold.”

Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, December 2024
“The NV Champagne Reserve Brut, a blend of 40% each Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, pours a yellow/golden color and is generous and inviting, with loads of classic charm in its notes of brioche, ripe peaches, honied citrus, and fresh flowers. The palate is medium framed but fleshed out by a rounded mousse and has a suggestion of decadence as well as a clean finish. This highly appealing multi-vintage cuvée sees a high percentage of reserve wine going into the final blend, which adds a very well-integrated and layered feel. Drink now or over the coming 5-7 years. Disgorged 2022.”
