E. Guigal Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin 2022

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

October 27, 2026 - The Guigal family's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin brings together fruit from all three Nalys vineyards into a wine of exceptional precision and completeness, with intense old-vine Grenache and Syrah at its core, Mourvèdre and other estate varieties rounding out the blend. Half the composition draws from La Crau, whose ancient soils deliver the wine's signature structural intensity, building layers of fruit, spice, and minerality that unfold long into the finish.

Wine Spectator - February 28, 2026 "Warm and rich, with sweet tobacco leaf and mocha notes traveling alongside cassis and mocha-dusted cherry preserves. Sturdy and broadly textured, with singed alder smoke behind its savory elements of…

Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château de Nalys offers up aromas of dark berries, fresh thyme, licorice and flowers, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, structured and layered palate that is…

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2024

Bolgheri

October 27, 2026 - Bolgheri Rosso is a refined, irresistible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, serving as an introduction to the estate. The wine is, frankly, almost too good at the price. All the intensive artisanal work that Le Macchiole carries out in its vineyards and cellars benefits this wine, and despite more availability than its Paleo Rosso, Messorio and Scrio siblings, it sells out nearly as quickly. Bolgheri Rossi is also the youngest of Le Macchiole’s wines, first produced in 2004. The objective: to make a Bordeaux blend, but typical of Bolgheri.

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "A layered, intriguing nose opens earthy and graphitic, then turns juicy and fresh, and finally spicy and rich."

Wine Spectator - October 31, 2026 "Plum, blackberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors ply the fluid texture of this lively red. Well-structured, showing both vivid acidity and dense tannins, yet everything is in balance, with a…

James Suckling - May 27, 2026 "Fresh and perfumed, showing roses, bramble fruit, horseradish and a touch of balsamic. Silky, supple and medium-bodied, with tension and firm structure."

Wine Spectator - June 30, 2026 "Well-defined aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackberry highlight this smooth, graceful red. Mineral and wild scrub notes emerge as this gathers steam midpalate. Ends with plenty of energy…

Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2023

Chianti Classico DOCG

October 27, 2026 - Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from vineyards perched 1640 feet above sea level in Gaiole, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a unique amphitheatre layout. This distinctive terroir imparts a brilliant purplish hue, intense fruity aromas, and exceptional tannic structure to the wine, which exhibits an elegant vibrancy. The hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, with maceration and pump-overs for maximum polyphenol extraction. Maturation in oak barriques and bottle-aging further refine the wine's complexity and depth.

Wine Advocate - September 01, 2026 "The Tenuta Perano 2023 Chianti Classico is a nicely made and classically styled wine with good exuberance and no loose ends. Made primarily with Sangiovese and some complementary grapes, it…

Vinous - August 31, 2026 "...very pretty, delicate wine. Crushed flowers, mint and pipe tobacco lift a core of red-toned fruit. This is an especially understated, floral style for Perano. Silky tannins add to the…

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "On the nose, a woodsy, floral feel comes first, followed by a sweet juiciness. The palate pivots to flavors of raspberry, strawberry, and orange peel, then the flower petals and…

October 27, 2026 - Castello Pomino Benefizio Riserva is a single-cru Chardonnay from a high-elevation vineyard with diurnal shifts and sandy soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed, and fermented in barriques, with partial malolactic fermentation and aging on lees.

James Suckling - May 07, 2025 "A fairly neutral wine on the nose, with a textured, silky palate, a medium body, zesty integrated acidity and a vibrant citrus aftertaste."

Wine Spectator - July 28, 2025 "A creamy texture embraces peach, vanilla, honey, sea salt and buttery pastry notes. This elegant white is harmonious and alluring; the only edge is a lightly bitter citrus finish."

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "The wine has dill flower, Tahitian vanilla, and just a little yellow banana pepper that escapes the glass. On the palate there are zesty lemon qualities that entwine with green…
