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 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…

Gary Farrell Winery Russian River Selection Pinot Noir 2022

Russian River Valley, California

June 03, 2025 - Most wineries focus on their single vineyard wines first. Whatever doesn’t make the cut gets mixed and sold at a lower price. Gary Farrell creates the blend first. Vineyards are fermented separately, creating transparent expressions of each terroir. They then work to make the most complex and delicious blend possible. Every bottle is comprised of the literal best vineyards in Sonoma. You won’t find another wine with this integrity and pedigree.

Domaine d’Aussières A d’Aussières Rosé 2024

AOC Languedoc

May 29, 2025 - Domaine d’Aussières A d’Aussières Rosé is a vibrant, full-bodied expression of Grenache and Syrah, grown in the estate’s cool microclimate. The top 50% of stony and sandy plots contribute to its complexity, with notes of blood orange, raspberry, and a touch of grapefruit. Pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine is matured on the lees for several weeks to enhance its richness.

Vinous - May 21, 2025 "The 2024 Rosé A d'Aussières is laden with nuances of fresh strawberry, yogurt, tarragon and crushed rocks. Fresh and energetic yet notably calibrated and refined, the 2024 finishes with good…

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."

E. Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

May 13, 2025 - Guigal produces an intensely concentrated, inviting and complex Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is unique to the region today. Their passion for Châteauneuf, the leading appellation of the Southern Rhône, runs as deeply as that for their home sites in the North. The combination of working with top fruit that has perfect ripeness, along with their extraordinary patience in the cellar, results in rich and full, yet savory, spicy, seamless and balanced wines. This one can be enjoyed immediately but is capable of aging for the long haul.

Jeb Dunnuck - March 28, 2024 "A ripe, perfumed, medium to full-bodied effort that stays firmly planted in the more elegant style of the vintage. Ripe red and black fruits (raspberries, strawberries), garrigue, and peppery notes…

Vinous - June 14, 2024 "Dried herbs, ripe strawberry and licorice introduce the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Almost equally as forward and flamboyant as the delicious 2019, the 2020 is a supple and concentrated red that’s built…
