The 2023 Chianti Colli Senesi is terrific. In fact, the 2023 is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. The purity of the fruit is very fine, while the wilder side of the Colli Senesi is tempered at the same time. Crushed flowers meld into a core of bright, red-toned fruit. Hints of cedar, leather and sweet pipe tobacco build into the refreshing finish. Terrific.

"An elegant rose, with flavors of dried cherry, oyster shell, candied ginger and orange peel riding through the delicate mousse. Shows fine integration."

"The NV Brut Cuvee Rose is a fairly anonymous Champagne with a soft, pleasing personality. The wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. .

A distinctive Sauvignon, offering warm spice, quince and apple flavors that show nice roundness, with notes of sun tea. Toasted hay and quinine notes gild the slightly chewy palate, while cooling minerality washes through with menthol and bitter quinine notes. This has nice complexity and savoriness. Drink now. 1,500 cases imported.

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% each Carmenère, Merlot and Petit Verdot, Quintessa's 2022 Red Wine initially offers up mossy, savory and earthy notes, but those are backed by layers of mixed red and black cherries, plus some plummier bass notes. Aged 22 months in 60% New French oak, there are hints of cedar and vanilla as well. In the mouth, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, fairly broad on the palate, showing some effects of the vintage's early September heat wave, stretching the wine's structural tannins into a coarser weave than typical, without upsetting the overall sense of harmony on the lingering finish.

The Giovanni Rosso 2022 Etna Rosso Contrade Nuove has a little more textural heft with dark fruit aromas due to the warm summer growing conditions on the volcano. This vintage was hot but cooled down by rain at the right times. Vintner Davide Rosso says that Nerello Mascalese tends to go into reduction and can produce green tannins. His solution is to allow more oxygen in winemaking with the use, for example, of amphorae, which tend to be more porous. Conical oak vats and stainless steel are also used. This pretty wine offers bright fruit, cherry and crushed roses.

This fragrant red features macerated cherry, plum, pomegranate, blood orange, iron and eucalyptus flavors. Harmonious and solidly structured, needing time to resolve its thick swath of dusty tannins. Offers excellent length, so be patient. Best from 2030 through 2048. 1,334 cases made, 334 cases imported.

"The 2021 Selección Especial, the classic house blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo from Rioja Alta, reflects the finesse of the vintage. Aromas of plum, blackberry and a touch of raspberry are lifted by delicate balsamic hints. On the palate, it is dry and moderately compact, with chalky grip and long, savory flavor. Delicacy, energy and juiciness are kept in balanced interplay by the vintage."

The 2021 Barolo Gramolere is deep, layered and super-expressive. Blood orange, cinnamon, star anise and cedar give the 2021 a gorgeous, exotic aromatic flair. Plush and layered in the glass, with exceptional resonance, the Gramolere is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. The long, explosive finish invites a second taste, and then a third.

The 2024 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast comes from the Martinelli family’s Charles Ranch, where the vines were planted in 1982 at 1,115 feet in elevation and just three miles from the Pacific Ocean. Matured for 12 months in 10% new French oak barrels, it has inviting scents of red apple, white peach, panna cotta, pie crust and spice. The full-bodied palate has a satiny texture and expansive, savory flavors. A bright spine of acidity adds tension, and it has a long, energetic finish. 3,429 cases were made.
