2020 Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, January 2024
“Ripe and pure, with a jeweled ruby color, the 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva offers a lovely nose of candied raspberry, fresh violets, sweet herbs, and mossy earth. Full-bodied, it offers up a plush texture with ripe meaty fruit, sweet tannins, and a clean finish. Harmonious and ripe, with a refined touch, it’s already showing well anad will continue to drink well over the coming 10-12 years.”

2021 Donnafugata Bell'Assai
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, April 2024
“The warm, floral nose features delicate notes of roses and cherry blossoms, as well as more provocatively sweet aromas of strawberries and cream. The palate takes a bitter turn, which is underscored by a latent earthiness, while acid bounces around polished, firm tannins”

2021 Luke Columbia Valley Merlot
Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, April 2024
“A powerful blueberry scent blazes a path for aromas of loamy soil and rose petals dried between the pages of an old book. The wine's flavor combination of black tea, marionberry muffins and oatcakes is like breakfast breaking out—only this meal includes tannins so muscular, they grab you by the lapels and steal your milk money.”

2021 Luke Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, April 2024
“The black currant and raspberry aromas are so rich, this wine tiptoes up to cassis territory. Its viscous texture makes the blueberry, poached pear and cinnamon flavors feel like they are careening down a backyard Slip 'N Slide. You can expect plush tannins, medium acidity and a touch of cedar on the finish.”

2019 Bibi Graetz Colore Rosso
Mike DeSimone, Robb Report, February 2024
“Bibi Graetz makes wine in a privileged location overlooking the city of Florence and we have been privileged to taste some of his amazing wines with him. He prefers to source his grapes from older vines and uses Sangiovese, Colorino, and Canailolo grapes to make this delightful and delicious wine. The 2019 vintage of Colore is made to celebrate his 20th anniversary and has aromas of black cherry, black currant, and a touch of dried Mediterranean herbs with flavors of ripe dark fruits, black plum, raspberry all wrapped in a velvety tannic sheath plus there’s a nice burst of acidity in the long, long finish. ”

2021 Donnafugata Ben Ryé
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, February 2024
“A rich, luxurious sweetie, with flavors of orange glacée, pink grapefruit sorbet, spun honey, apple peel and butterscotch melting on the palate like cotton candy. A bright tang of citrusy acidity and a touch of salinity give this good cut and form, while fragrant hints of lavender, cardamom, white chocolate and Earl Grey waft in on the long, lasting finish. Drink now through 2034. 9,500 cases made, 590 cases imported”

2022 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Blanc
Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2023
“Stunning nose of ripe mirabelle with delicate candied citrus aromas. Wonderful mineral freshness that picks you up and carries you into the sky. So clean and bright at the long finish. From organically grown grapes. From the eastern side of the appellation with gravelly sedimentary soil. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”

2019 Vall Llach Vi de Finca Mas de la Rosa
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, January 2024
“Like a swathe of fine silk, this is finely knit and graceful, integrating supple, deftly honed tannins and orange peel acidity. Offers a lovely range of crushed mulberry, raspberry, oolong tea leaf, vanilla and smoke notes. This is quietly persistent on the finish, with delicate hints of milled pepper and anise. Sit and sip slowly, as this opens beautifully in the glass. Drink now through 2034.”

Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, January 2024
“A round and creamy chardonnay with lemon curd and hints of apple pith and vanilla beans. Medium acidity, with enough freshness to balance the medium- to full-bodied palate with creamy apple fruit and a flavorful finish.”
