100 Luca Gardini - GardiniNotes.com

A fixed point of the typology, coming from the south-east quadrant of the denomination and a valuable processing protocol. Nose with basil, notes of red mulberry, then wild sage and touches of green olives; salty palate, with officinal memory and floral sensations.

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Enticing aromas of red cherries, dried strawberries and hints of plums, cedar, sandalwood and balsamic. Medium-bodied with a tight and rich center palate and a chewy and powerful finish. This needs time to come together and soften slightly. Best after 2029.

97 Kerin O'Keefe - kerinokeefe.com

Aromas of new leather, spiced black plum, violet and camphor unfold on the bold and beautiful 2021 Brunello Pianrosso. Combining power and restraint, the full-bodied palate delivers layers of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and fine tobacco blend before a spiced orange zest close. Velvety, enveloping tannins provide seamless support. Drink 2029–2041. Abv: 15%

97 Peter Moser - Falstaff

Bright ruby ​​with a pronounced garnet hue. Open and accessible nose, opens with notes of dark cherries, raspberries and some plums, with spicy cedar wood in the background. Full-bodied and intense on the palate, shows plenty of robust tannins, still brittle and slightly warming on the finish, still needs a long aging period.

95 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Dark and richly textured, this expression opens with ripe fruit nuances, sweet plum and baking spice. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is unapologetic about ripeness and the more concentrated side of Sangiovese, a style reinforced by the warm growing conditions of the vintage and the naturally powerful Pianrosso site. There is so much richness and phenolic texture here that it recalls warm years such as 2017 or 2019. The tannins are soft, the alcohol is high at 15.5%, and production stands at 43,000 bottles, including larger formats.

Lively aromas of raspberry and pomegranate meet with sumac, red flowers and wet forest fronds on the nose of this bottling. The palate combines flavors of dried and liquified cherry along with cola and toasted sage elements that are slightly sour. — Matt Kettmann

99 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Superb aromas of black currants, rose petal and mint. Lavender and stones too. Full body with incredible fruit density. Complex, yet it's agile and bright. Tannins are perfectly polished. It builds on the palate and shows the structure of a first growth Bordeaux but remains so Chilean. A blend of 58% cabernet sauvignon, 15% carmenere, 12% malbec, 10% merlot, and 5% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. This is a joy to taste now but it will show itself in 2019. Even better than the amazing 2012.

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Attractive nose of crushed apples, pears, lemon peel, wet stones and a hint of mint. Dense, polished and long on the palate, with a medium body and vivid acidity. Very elegant and well made. Sustainable. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

"Tobacco, black tea and pencil shavings on the nose. Cherry, plum, forest berry, milk chocolate, vanilla, leather and cured meat balance fine acidity and firm chalky tannins. Good tension, fresh finish."

"This features oak spice notes, but with nice vibrancy and ripeness of Damson plum and mulberry. Some ripe stem notes emerge and mark the moderately long finish." — Aleks Zecevic

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Crunchy and brisk, with aromas of limes, grapefruit pith, fine herbs and white blossoms. Medium-bodied with mouthwatering acidity and a juicy, citrus-driven finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

90 Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous Media

The 2022 Muscat still crackles with a touch of reduction. Only then do honeysuckle and lemon appear, with subtle elderflower in the distance. The palate has far more elderflower than the nose, which is creamy, lemony and light. It's a scented wine with a creamy texture. It shows some pithiness, richer than usual, but dry and bright. (Bone-Dry)

85 MaryAnn Worobiec - Wine Spectator

A firm red, with herb, cola and black licorice accents that complement the core of cassis and blackberry preserves. Drink now.

92 Falstaff Magazine

Light yellow green, silver reflections. Delicate notes of elderflower, some passion fruit, a hint of white stone fruit. Elegant, juicy, full-bodied tropical fruit, fresh acidity, lingers well, salty finish, a versatile summer wine.

91 Wine Enthusiast

"Ripe and soft, impressively rich, with tight citrus minerality."

Both of these blocks are planted to Clone 2, a virus-free clone that came to FPS from Lodi. Block 7 was planted in 1975 and Block 22 in 1995. The 2022 Zinfandel Blocks 7 & 22 features floral, tea-like and even orange-like aromas, plus bold berry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, silky-textured and open, with only the slightest hint of raisined fruit and a hint of French oak (one-third new barrels for 15 months). Finishing long and velvety, it's a fine Zin for drinking young, at a reasonable price.
