"The 2021 Pinot Noir Homer Shea Vineyard is seductively spicy in character, with depths of woodland berries, cloves, star anise and cedar shavings forming its alluring bouquet. This is a model of elegance: a dense wave of ripe red fruits and spices is effortlessly lifted by brilliant acidity, and a primary staining slowly saturates the palate toward the close. The Homer finishes classically dry and crunchy, structured yet fresh and balanced for a long, steady evolution. While already a pleasure due to its beautifully integrated oak (43% new), the real magic will come forward with maturity."

91 Clive Pursehouse - Decanter Magazine

"A barrel selection sourced from the best 10 barrels in a given vintage. The aromatics are rich and ripe. Notes of dried fig, kirsch and blackberry compote follow notes of dried violet and crushed stone. The palate is rich and powerful. Crushed basalt minerality is met with ripe blackberry, Italian plum and black cherry. Notes of espresso bean and rich dark chocolate follow. There is structure and power rather than finesse, chewy tannin and ample oak influence. The finish trails off."

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar. Try after 2029."

98 Danielle Callegari - Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of vanilla, tobacco leaf, wild blackberries and blueberries gust on the nose, while the palate brings more sweet berries and vanilla but also has an unexpected bouncy, lively, almost pop-rocks feel from the acid. Flexible tannins structure a warm, citrus finish. As ever, a five-star luxury, with the ease of a lifetime of experience.

"The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience."

"The 2022 Sassicaia is a deeper, youthful magenta/red color with a slightly deeper aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage, mossy earth, and fresh black cherries. The palate has slightly broader shoulders but remains elegant. It has more plushness on the mid-palate, while its acidity shines through with the finish. It will need several years to shed its baby fat and show its full potential. Drink 2028-2058."

99 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

An exquisite mix of elegant aromas dominates the nose, with notes of Parma violets, orange peel, Earl Grey tea, dried cherries, smoky woodland and earthy minerality. Full-bodied, it shows significant tannins, but it’s velvety, sweet and full of aging potential. The flavors are enhanced by energetic, slightly lifted acidity and a super-long, austere finish. It will last for decades. Try after 2025.

The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie (tasted once in the winery and again in my office) is another classical expression of Sangiovese from vintner Alessandro Mori and his son Iacopo. This vintage is best described as more charming compared to the stacked 2019 vintage or the powerful 2016 edition. This is a very pretty wine, elegant and finessed, with pretty floral highlights of rose and violet that lean into a subtle menthol note. There is caramelized sugar and candied orange. The wine lives in oak for 46 months with just a brief time in steel before going into bottle (at the end of July 2024). This vintage is a little closed or tight in terms of mouthfeel, which suggests it needs more time in bottle to spread its wings.

98 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The undeniably elegant 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is amazingly fresh and vibrant on the nose, cascading from the glass with a burst of crushed cherries, rose petals, blood oranges and cloves. This displays exceptional elegance and grace, soothing the palate with its silken feel and ripe red and blue fruits. Hints of sour citrus add contrast, a mix of iron-borne minerals and fine tannins that mount toward the close. A saturation of primary concentration remains, offset by residual acidity as this finishes structured and impossibly long, leaving a sour cherry tinge and masses of violet pastille. The 2020 is a showboat yet complex and harmonious from start to finish. It's easily one of the absolute top wines of the vintage.

Grand Champ and Bas de Duresses. The former will disappear from 2025, along with some Bourgogne Blanc as part of the deal which has enabled the purchase of the new Meursault and Beaune Teurons vineyards. Slightly lighter and perhaps bonier than the Monthelie but still with a good concentration behind. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.

Pouring a ruby/magenta hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard offers concurrent but very different notes of incense, a hint of clove or cardamom spice, and wildflowers. Medium-bodied, it has a more coiled approach on the palate, with fine tannins, even, ripe acidity, and a mouthwatering finish with notes of dark crushed stones. It’s certainly not lacking in structure.

95+ Erin Brooks - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

The 2022 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard has layered aromas of pomegranate, blueberry, orange bitters, wildflowers and mossy bark. The medium-bodied palate demands your attention with its concentrated, powerful flavors. Abundant, velvety tannins and bright acidity structures its opulent fruit, and it has a long, luxuriously spicy finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle.

93 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2022 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard displays an intense and beguiling blend of currants, grilled herbs, crushed ashen stones and savory herbs. This is round and soothing with cooling acidity and a lifted feel throughout as ripe red berry fruits wash across the palate, giving way to a sensation of liquid stone. It leaves the cheeks puckered, tapering off with a lasting tension as silty tannins saturate.

93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Aromas of dark cherries, plums, forest floor and spices. The palate is firm and structured, with savory tannins and focused dark fruit. Earthy and balanced, with a dry finish. Drink or hold.

93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

This is really complex on the nose with very ripe fruit, yet it turns to white truffles and fresh mushrooms. Some fresh flowers as well. Full-bodied, round and creamy tannins with beautiful fruit and a long, flavorful finish.

91 Wine Spectator

"Shows more freshness-and less of a ripe, syrupy quality-than some of its peers, with a fine balance between juicy currant and tangy black cherry fruit and notes of tar, chocolate shavings and spice box. Features a fresh linen weight instead of the more typical Amarone velvet, and lightly chalky tannins show on the firm finish. AN" (08/11)

94 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

This is good. A cooler climatic expression that remains distinctly Australian, rather than playing the reductive hand of an ersatz Rhone. An exceptional nose of mace, clove, blue fruits, olive and briar, backed by a wave of beef bouillon and iodine-umami warmth. The tannins, a clatter across the middle, with a bow of dutiful acidity drawn to just the right degree of tension. Some scrubby menthol dries the finish ever so slightly. This said, this is a delicious wine of immense personality and soul. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is bright, aromatic and penetrating, with terrific cut that drives right through the mid-palate and finish. Lemon confit, slate, crushed flowers and white pepper all race through the mouth. This taut, expressive Chardonnay has so much to offer. Gavin Chanin certainly got the most out of his fruit from I and L Blocks.

94+ Matthew Luczy - Robert Parkers The Wine Advocate

Always one of the finer renditions of this site, the 2022 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard leads with a poised, focused nose that highlights this site's signature bouquet of white pepper set against a stony, citrus-curd backdrop. The palate combines floating precision with grounded depth, finishing with an intensely focused mineral spine supported by powerful dexterity. Given this wine's track record, it will reward a year or two in bottle and deliver a beautiful drinking experience over the next decade. Drink: 2024-2032

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is every bit as thrilling as it was on the many occasions I tasted it from barrel. Black cherry, hard candy, plum, rose petal, menthol and lavender saturate the palate in a sumptuous, racy Brunello endowed with magnificent depth and pedigree. An utterly stunning, sensual wine, the 2010 constantly changes in the glass as it conquers all the senses with an exotic kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures. I remember tasting the 2010 from cask a few years ago when Diego Molinari was too unwell to go down to the cellar. Nora Molinari tasked me with essentially serving myself as we went from vintage to vintage and cask to cask. For days after, I was mortified that I might not have closed some of the spigots tightly enough. Fortunately, that was not the case. In all of my years tasting the wines of Montalcino, I have only come across two wines with this level of textural unctuosity and sweetness; Gianfranco Soldera's 1983 Brunello and 1990 Riserva. Cerbaiona's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino will leave readers weak at the knees. It is every bit that profound."

98 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is an absolutely distinctive wine and one unlike this producer has ever released. It feels radically different in terms of concentration, intensity and complexity. I was blown away by the beautiful and profound sense of inner harmony on display here. The wine puts on an epic showing of aromas that span from the simple ripe cherry and blackcurrant to the most ethereal tones of balsam herb, root beer and licorice. In between, are hearty aromas of cured tobacco and smoked meat. It really has it all along the entire Sangiovese spectrum. In the mouth, the wine offers similar complexity with thick extraction backed by sweet and sour layers of fruit and tannic structure. If you are looking for outstanding Brunello, look no further. This is one of the top three wines of the vintage. Drink Date: 2017 - 2035

97 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is serious stuff and one powerhouse of a Brunello. Deep, rich, black fruits, roasted herbs, some smoke meat notes, licorice, and loads of spice take some coaxing at first, yet the wine quickly offers loads of fireworks with aeration. This full-bodied, massively concentrated Brunello has ripe tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and awesome length. Give it a decant if drinking any time soon.

"Crisp, dry and full of red-currant fruits and tight acidity, this is a delicious, young Champagne. It is textured and zesty, with layer of acidity vying with the perfumed fruit. This bottling really should age, so drink it from 2019."

94 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The La Gerla 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has spicy, dried fruit with blackcurrant, pinecone, juniper berry and a hint of medicinal herb or camphor ash. The oak comes through clearly in the form of mulled spice or crushed clove. This Brunello is rather streamlined on the mid-palate, and although there is some mild chalkiness to the tannins, they are almost approachable now. Production is 40,000 bottles.
