Restrained, complex and spicy, showing licorice, dried roses, wild strawberries, vibrant orange peel and savory, almost meaty depth. Medium- to full-bodied, offering firm, dusty yet ripe tannins and an integrated, refreshing and long finish. Drink or hold.

"Laced with cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and white pepper flavors, this red is expressive despite being linear and taut. Firms up on the finish, where lively acidity drives the fruit and savory elements. Shows excellent harmony and potential."

95 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2020 Lessona is a classy, polished wine. Macerated cherry, mint, rose petal, pomegranate and tangerine peel lift from the glass. The 2022 is wonderfully fresh and translucent, with relatively soft contours that make it an absolute joy to taste today. I especially admire the wines vibrancy."

The 2023 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is a very pretty and expressive white. Tangerine peel, mint, white flowers and tropical overtones lend notable aromatic brightness. Blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors lively, but there's also plenty of textural creaminess. This is a fine edition.

What fabulous perfumed aromas of lavender, blackcurrants, graphite, tapenade and hints of sweet tobacco. So complex and sophisticated. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that have an incredible finesse and length. It goes on for minutes. It’s all about elegance and class. There’s harmony and freshness for a dry year. Seductive and so long. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 23% carmenere, 4% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but one for the cellar. Drink from 2028.

Almaviva 2022 (Maipo Valley; 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 4% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot; 15% alcohol). Fascinating and distinctive aromatically, all the more so as it’s a little timid at first. A baked earth path, sun on sand, deep dark berry fruits – mulberries and brambles – and then dark stone fruits – damson and black cherry. Crushed black and red peppercorns and a hint of nutmeg. A massive attack of great intensity, depth and concentration, accentuated by the quite narrow frame, with the staunchly Cabernet tannins really grabbing the fruit from the moment this hits the tongue, pulling and massaging it back to the spine and releasing little plumes of juicy freshness like ripples as they do so. Quite sunny in feel (‘solaire’ as the French would say) and spicier than the 2021, this is a real vin de garde. Very impressive once again.”

96 Matthew Luczy - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

“The 2022 Almaviva leads with a brooding, woody nose with savory, roasted pepper aromas and pleasing top notes of lavender and dried herbs. The palate is dense, luscious and staining, with considerable concentration and opulence. The finish continues this lush, layered opulence, concluding with supple, firm, unyielding tannins, welcomely braced with fresh acidity and herbal, methol-tinged flourishes. Despite its immediate richness, this is quite wound up, and it will take a few years to integrate its formidable tannins further. But it should be a joy to watch develop over the coming decade and beyond. It's a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak.”

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Thieuley shows an elegant, more complex bouquet than its 2018 counterpart, exhibiting aromas of dark berries, pencil lead, licorice and menthol, followed by a medium to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping palate that’s framed by powdery tannins. Seamless and already nicely integrated, this vintage can be approached with pleasure, even if has four or five year of evolution ahead of it.

The 2024 Pinot Noir Avni blends vibrant black cherry with sweet sage and clove to form an inviting bouquet. This is soft-textured with silken depths of ripe wild berry fruit propelled by juicy acidity. It leaves chalky mineral tones and a hint of wild blueberry that pucker the cheeks and call me back for more.

A very generous, luscious and focused chardonnay with a good core of fruit and spices, bright acidity and a textural, rounded mouthfeel. Well made, poised and stylish. Drink or hold.

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Plenty of dark cherries, spices and ripe plums on the nose with a touch of spices. Juicy and firm on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a ripe, juicy finish. Good length and flavor intensity here. Drink now or hold.

90 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Alta Collection hails from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. It exhibits blackberry and cassis aromas with a hint of green bell pepper. The palate is dry and juicy, featuring active tannins and a compact mouthfeel.

The 2021 Sauvage Vineyard Pinot Noir is supremely pretty. It's elegant and fine and still powerful, thanks to the Bannockburn area; however, the wine itself shows rose petals and spring flowers, graphite and pencil lead, white pepper and tapenade. Svelte and sleek, this is composed and detailed and so, so good. I am (mostly) resisting hyperbole and adverbs here. This is a standout wine from a superstar producer—an asset for the region and indeed the country (and the New World in general). 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Juicy and lively strawberries, red plums and lavender followed by vanilla beans, salted caramel and a touch of squeezed orange wedge. Mineral. Medium-bodied wine with fine velvety tannins and acidity. Very precisely framed wine with great harmony. It’s beautiful already but will age gracefully. Drink or hold.

95 Wine Spectator

Well-structured, with a firm backbone to complement the dense core of flavors, including blackberry, wild blueberry and red fruit notes. Accents of Earl Grey tea and white pepper, plus hints of dried rose petal, forest floor and salted black licorice, linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2033. 750 cases made, 200 cases imported.

95 Wine Spectator

Polished and detailed, with multilayered raspberry and cherry flavors that take on toasty spice, garrigue and savory pepper tones as this builds richness toward supple tannins. Drink now through 2035.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A fruity, juicy, velvety and charming red with notes of cherries, raspberries, cassis and olives. Medium body, fine tannins and a straightforward development on the palate. Fruity and agreeable. Drink now.

90 Wine Enthusiast

Dense and dark fruit aromas are juicy on the nose of this bottling. Loam, clay and wet wood elements add earthy nuances. The palate is well structured, showing hearty blackberry, cracked pepper and coffee bean flavors. — Matt Kettmann
