E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2020
Côte-Rôtie
June 23, 2025 - Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from this area, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

Jeb Dunnuck - April 26, 2024 "2020 Côte Rôtie Brune Et Blonde is a winner, and readers could do much worse than a case of this in the cellar. Ripe black raspberries, spring flowers, smoke, and…
Ornellaia Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2022
Toscana IGT
June 23, 2025 - Le Volte dell’Ornellaia combines a Mediterranean expression of generosity with structure and complexity, reflecting the philosophy of Ornellaia. It represents the first step into the Ornellaia family, and is an ideal wine for everyday enjoyment.
Wine Spectator - April 17, 2024 "A fresh, expressive red, this also exhibits tension, lending energy to its black currant, cherry, licorice and cedar flavors. Graphite and salty accents add detail to the long, tightly-wound finish."
Masciarelli Marina Cvetić Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2022
Abruzzo
June 10, 2025 - The Trebbiano Riserva Marina Cvetic represents the ultimate expression of one of Abruzzo’s historic vines. Like Montepulciano, Trebbiano was once considered a workhorse grape without real potential. This wine changed that view completely, offering an original, full-bodied, and elegant interpretation with its own character. Marina Cvetic wines are known as a “lone voice” for the most demanding and technical experts. Explosive, concentrated golden fruit leads to a rich, floral, and spicy palate. This wine represents a true revolution for Trebbiano and Italian whites.
Wine Spectator - May 31, 2025 "A supple white, lightly honeyed and silky on the palate, with refreshing, lemon pith–infused acidity. Offers flavors of Anjou pear, crushed almond, chamomile and beeswax, with a subtle tang of…
Wine Enthusiast - July 19, 2024 "The nose is fresh and citric, with aromas of the sea, lemons, limes, white flowers and fresh pineapple. The palate plumps up that pineapple note, but a continued current of…
Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo 2021
Toscana IGT
May 13, 2025 - This Tuscan "Super Value" is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma called Rompicollo. The vineyard benefits from southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a soil rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.
Wine Spectator - February 12, 2025 "Black currant, blackberry, iron, tapenade and mint aromas and flavors highlight this thickly textured red. Firm and elegant, showing all the characteristics of Cabernet Franc. Ends long."
Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Marlborough
May 07, 2025 - Dog Point Chardonnay is one of New Zealand’s most expressive and distinctive white wines. Sourced from low-yielding, hand-tended vines in the Wairau Valley and crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the site’s character with clarity and intensity. A reductive, flinty edge meets layered fruit and leesy complexity, creating a taut, mineral-driven wine with serious structure and precision. As with all Dog Point wines, it’s a national benchmark—an unfiltered, uncompromising Chardonnay with Burgundian depth and unmistakable Marlborough identity.
Wine Advocate - December 20, 2024 "The 2021 Chardonnay leads with preserved lemon on the nose along with freshly picked curry leaf, white peach and spring blossoms. In the mouth, the wine is elegant and layered,…
Wine Enthusiast - January 25, 2024 "Subtle struck match and grilled nut aromas perch just above the lemon and toast aromas without overpowering them; a salty, seashell vibe is present, too. There's vibrant, citrusy acidity on…
