At once juicy and well structured, this may be light-bodied but it has excellent substance and a wealth of slatey minerals that give it wonderful energy in the very clean but slightly off-dry finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Vegan. Drink or hold.

A heady perfume of lemon peel, white grapefruit and florals, with a metallic, coppery tinge opens. Flavors are more muted, the gentle creamy texture and mouth-watering acidity, which creeps in on the midpalate, taking center stage. Subtle enough to handle boldly flavored cuisine like Thai or Mexican. — Christina Pickard

An ersatz field blend, co-fermented: vermentino (73%), fiano (16%) and backing vocals of grechetto, greco, glera, pinot bianco and grigio. Light-weighted, bright, frisky and immensely versatile at the table. Stone fruit allusions meld with accents of quince, preserved lemon, tangerine and frangipani. The finish, a saline slake of powdery phenolics. Easy drinking stuff with a whiff of intrigue. Drink now.

Aromas of pithy grapefruit, cut flowers and stemmy herbs swirl on the nose of this Sauvignon Blanc. The palate feels fresh and zesty, with energetic acidity framing flavors of tart pineapple, nectarine, mixed citrus, and lemon blossom at the finish. Excellent for poolside sipping with grilled shellfish.

"Year in and year out, one of the most exotic, flamboyant, and sexiest cuvees in the d'Arenberg portfolio is The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier. The 2005 exhibits a spring flower garden-like character interwoven with blackberries, creme de cassis, melted licorice, and sweet, toasty new oak. Opulent and voluptuous, with silky tannin, and a plump, fleshy, rich, full-bodied personality, this offering is meant to be consumed over the next 5-8 years."

A stand out in the Clos de Luz lineup, the 2023 Massal 1945 Carménère derives from old ungrafted vines planted with small portions of Cabernet Franc and Carignan. Opening with a dark, spice-dominated bouquet with a refreshing herbal twist, the palate is impressively pure, elegant and taut. It concludes with a lush, layered and finessed finish that continues to unfold with time in the glass—an overperforming, contemporary example of Chilean Carménère.

The 2020 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding Gattinara. Black cherry, plum, licorice, crushed rocks, lavender and spice all race across the palate. A wine of somber intensity, the 2020 is built for the long haul. Deep and beguiling, firm tannins enshroud the long, building finish. Drink: 2028-2050

Long oak wood refinement for the label-symbol of the house project. Dogwood, yellowcurrant and tangerine in olfaction, puffs of chamomile and dehydrated thyme, then juniper. To the juicy and savoury sip, with memories of flowers and red fruits.

The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino comes from a warm but not extreme growing season, helped by timely rain and a normal harvest window. It pours a deep ruby red hue and opens with black raspberries, violets, fresh earth, licorice, and rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it feels more vertical and energetic than the 2020, with a bright spine of acidity, well-defined tannins, and a long, focused finish that stays light on its feet. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is an understated beauty, mixing dusty rose and lavender with shavings of blood orange and black cherries. It is surprisingly juicy yet elegant and refined, as ripe wild berry fruits slowly drench the palate in primary concentration. Structured and dramatically long, the 2021 finishes spicy and intense with nuances of citrus, clove and licorice. The complexity here is off the charts and the energy is incredible.

"A super, dense core of mixed dried berries, together with notes of caramel and a mix of mild Indian spices, from coriander to mace. Full-bodied with a liqueur-like bead of fruit that’s riding abundant but well-integrated tannins through the long, long finish. Excellent and so fresh. Delicious to drink now, or in your centenary year!"

"The Bertani 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella shows a generous and exuberant style initially, with all sorts of black fruits, tar, spice and a hint of saltiness. Yet this vintage is also characterized by a particular strength and power that is expressed with firm tannins and a solid structural backbone that shows best in the cooler vintages such as this. The 2013 offers linear heft and determination and will surely stand up to long bottle evolution."

92 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

"The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens with an intense burst of shaved cedar, dark chocolate and crushed black cherries. This soothes with its silky textures, offset by tart red and black fruits as rosy inner florals form toward the close. Medium in length, it finishes fresher than expected, showing the wiry yet energetic character of the vintage."
