A warm, ripe and smoky wine, this is rich and full. Its black pepper aroma and its dense tannins are balanced with the wine's plum character. Drink this juicy wine from 2027.

“The 2021 Hidden Vines Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe plums and black cherries, layered with enticing aromas of warm spices, and hints of florals. On the palate, it displays a medium/full body with juicy dark fruit flavors laced with notes of spices and fresh-cut violets with an undertone of dark chocolate and subtle oak which all build into a velvety finish that lingers with a nice balance of dark fruits and hints of spices.”

Dark cherries and blackberries with notes of chocolate, walnuts and grilled herbs. Full-bodied, structured and compact, with velvety tannins and deep, dark berry succulence in the middle. Rich and creamy at the end. Better in two to three years.

This deep violet-red wine has a nose of blackberry, violet and pencil lead. It is bright at first sip, filling the mouth with red berry flavors accompanied by notes of menthol, milk chocolate, cherry pipe tobacco and clove that are sheathed in a layer of downy tannins. The finish is marked with a soft note of lavender.

A pale pink shade in the glass with a delicate mousse, this bottling offers citrus pith, nectarine and pink rose petal aromas on the engaging nose. The palate is very energetic and lively with orange blossom, Meyer lemon and light grapefruit flavors.

97 Luca Gardini - GardiniNotes.com

Classic-style label, great elegance and a hint of (precious) austerity coming from the north-western quadrant of the appellation, with notes of marasca on the nose, hints of cloves and sprinkles of bloody orange peel, the palate is salty. Closed by citrus and spicy memories.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Wow. So perfumed and intense with raspberries, oranges, orange peel and hints of bark and spices. Some balsamic. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a long, concentrated finish. Delicious now but will improve with age. Drink or hold.

91 Wine Enthusiast

The nose has the fresh feel of lime zest, green apple, raw almond and freshly cut grass. The palate stays upbeat with grapefruit, pineapple and toasted almond notes, which lead into a finish of fresh lemon and more nutty, umami flavors.

94 Decanter

Rich, dark fruit and mint aromas lead to a palate of cherry, cassis, cigar box and elegant tannins.

96 The Tasting Panel

Fine-grained tannins are reminiscent of melted dark chocolate. Violets sprout on the seamless and streamlined midpalate, whose mouthfeel is akin to a velvet robe. The juicy dénouement is rich in blackberry ganache.

94 Decanter

Pretty, floral violet aromatics; palate of fine oak, supple tannins, fresh acidity and plush, dark fruit.

If you enjoy the elegant coconut perfume issued by Bumble and bumble's Creme De Coco Shampoo, you must try this wine. A perfect coconut aroma blends seamlessly with icy lemon granita and aloe vera notes. A lightning bolt of acidity drives flavors like ripe nectarines, wet slate, rosemary and lime. Lather up.

94 Wine Enthusiast

Briary red fruit aromas blend seamlessly with notes of violets and cedar to give the impression of a raspberry coulis served in the garden. Beautifully balanced acidity and tannins, with restrained alcohol, makes it so easy to sip the night away on the pure, distilled essence of marionberries, along with a bit of sage

92 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

This is immediately appealing on the nose with dark plum, sweet cherry, warm spice and assorted nut characters. The palate is equally attractive with excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, well framed by silky tannins, finishing persistent and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029.

94 Wine Enthusiast

"An earthy coolness, of soil, herbs, salt and tart berries defines the nose, while the palate is simultaneously direct, balanced and ethereal, as delicate, savory overtones hover above a precise fruit element and a latent, simmering heat. -DC"

90 Wine Enthusiast

This is an easygoing and affordable example of modern, cool climate Aussie Pinot. Ripe red berries bounce from the glass, followed by quieter aromas of florals, baking spice and a slight mushroomy savoriness. The palate is light to medium in weight, fleshy and round, but with a tug of savory tannins holding it all together. Knock back slightly chilled, with or without food.

94 Jonathan Cristaldi - Decanter Magazine

The 2022 Ackerman Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville is a powerful and muscular wine with mulberry, cassis, black olive, and black liquorice aromatics. These notes transform beautifully on the medium-to full-bodied palate, which is finely delineated. The firm, fine tannins frame a deeply penetrating core of red berry fruit and spices, complemented by the classic cool Coombsville wild herb character and a lengthy finish of graphite and loamy earth. A truly lovely effort in 2022.

Light and delicate, with crunchy fruit and flint, cranberry and raspberry aromas and flavors. Light-bodied and spicy at the end. Crunchy, crisp and bright. A joy to drink everyday. Drink now.

The Fattoria le Pupille 2024 Morellino di Scansano is led by Sangiovese with small percentages of Alicante and Ciliegiolo that bring extra brightness and energy. In Maremma, complex soils of volcanic deposits layered with ancient marine sediments define the character of the region, and for this wine, the Sangiovese is planted on sandstone soils that enhance elegance and aromatic lift, while other parcels feature pietra serena, red clays and limestone matched carefully to the appropriate variety. The bouquet offers redcurrant, myrtle and fragrant herbal notes of fresh rosemary and thyme, evoking the herb garden that lines the walkway to the estate’s newly inaugurated tasting room and visitor center. This wine offers phenomenal value.

91 Wine Enthusiast

The nose is a mix of crunchy red fruit and flowers, as cherries mingle with peonies, plus a touch of orange peel for texture and density. Strawberries and raspberries join more cherries on the palate, with earth and bitter citrus underneath. Fresh and vibrant.

92 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2022 Cabernet Franc is peppery, fresh and lifted. It displays crushed raspberries complicated by dried roses and violet pastilles. It splashes across the palate with ease, showcasing savory red berry fruits and hints of citrus. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as this finishes with staining length and gentle tannins, leaving a pleasantly chewy feel.

92 Wine Enthusiast

A wine that smells and tastes like blackberries is off to a fine start. Additional aromas of violets, petrichor and pie crust are matched bonus flavors of clove and a saline note similar to squid ink. There's plenty of acidity here,along with velvety tannins, to match up with those berries. Give me a glass of this wine with a bowl of homemade beef barley soup and I will be a happy human.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is spicy to the core, with a burst of wild herbs, musky green citrus and sea air that form its intense bouquet. This is juicy and soft-textured, blending lime-laced orchard fruits with a cascade of minerals and spice. Fresh, pleasantly tense yet a bit short, the 2025 does its job well by calling the taster back to the glass for more. – Eric Guido

93 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

"Beautifully fruited and complex, the bouquet shows ripe apricot, honeydew melon and oatmeal characters with a hint of vanilla nuance. The palate displays good weight and rich texture, wonderfully framed by bright acidity, finishing long and harmonious. At its best: now to 2029."

93 Harvest Terroir Challenge

Ripe concentrated fruit. Good varietal character. Full mid palate. Luscious texture. Gold. 93 points.

94 Wine Enthusiast

"The nose is savory, with aromas of hot tar, mixed crushed wild herbs, soil, rocks, bitter orange and wild strawberry, before a more fruit-forward palate where cherries, strawberries and raspberries are balanced by abundant citrus, heat and salt. Integrated and cohesive, but lively. -DC"

The 2021 Granito del Cadalso has more fruit and is rounder, more approachable-looking, from locations in the valley that deliver that profile. It fermented mostly in concrete vats, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts, and had an élevage in concrete of approximately six months. It has notes of red berries and herbs, with purity and a gentle mouthfeel through very fine, chalky tannins. 4,800 bottles were filled in April 2022.
