The 2024 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) gives the impression of a basket of tropical fruit covered in flaky sea salt. Passion fruit, papaya and banana unfurl on the rounded, supple frame, grounded by notable mid-palate weight. There's real character here, especially for $20.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

88 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

The 2023 Malbec Pizzella is from Paraje Altamira, San Carlos in the Uco Valley. Fifty percent aged in oak barrels, this wine showcases red fruit and plum notes. It is leaner than in previous years, with a slightly rough texture, reflecting the impact of a challenging vintage.

87 Wine Spectator

A polished youngster, showing a smooth-textured core of macerated berries, with twinges of slate and herbs folding around suave tannins. Drink now.

96 Falstaff Magazine

Bright ruby red with a delicately brightening rim. Generous nose of wild strawberry and raspberry, with subtly sweet nuances of fruit and tea, then leather and wet stone, complex and deep. Extremely juicy on the palate, opens up in many layers, powerful and polished, seems to build up endlessly, lingers for a long time.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Intense floral nose of red and dark fruit, with a slightly peppery, almost meaty character. There is a lot of stony minerality. Tight-knit structure with fruit and acidity that are crisp and zesty, ripe tannins, a velvety texture and a medium body. Good cherry fruit finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Aromas of limes, green apples, melon and pineapple. The palate is light and crisp, with bright acidity and clean fruit flavors. Fresh and easy to enjoy. Drink now. Screw cap."

94 Tastings.com (Beverage Testing Institute)

Violet color. Aromas and flavors of blueberry and blackberry, leather, mocha, and tobacco, and cedar with a round, lively, bone-dry medium-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that exhibits touches of red and black berries, chocolate covered acai, cherry cordials, and black tea with well-integrated, coating, firm, woody, drying tannins and moderate oak flavor. Powerful and lush red and black fruits with layers of oak that will integrate and show best with years in cellar.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A vivid, fresh, almost chewy wine that's vibrant in crisp apple and tangy lime flavors on the signature creamy texture of Ramey. Flavors emerge on the palate, including minerals, chalk and touches of flint and lemon zest. The grapes come from the Charles Ranch from vines planted in 1982. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

The 2023 Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview comes from Martinelli’s Charles Ranch Vineyard. Originally planted in 1981 to Clone 4 and Old Wente, it’s located just three miles from the Pacific Ocean at 1,115 feet in elevation, and vines are planted in Goldridge and Josephine soils. The grapes were harvested October 18-21, and the wine was barrel-fermented. It matured for 12 months in 10% new French oak barrels and was bottled in January of 2025. It’s surprisingly open on the nose, with aromas of red apple, apricot, panna cotta, graham cracker and citrus blossom perfume. The medium-bodied palate is silky and vibrant, with pure, concentrated, saline-laced flavors and a very long, taut finish.

94 Wine Spectator

There's impressive precision and focus to the flavors in this white, with pure Meyer lemon, pomelo, yuzu and fresh ginger accents, plus a crunchy sea salt detail. Honeycrisp apple, lemon verbena and lemon blossom notes emerge on the finish, where the vibrant acidity gives this a firm backbone. Drink now through 2037. 3,429 cases made.

Strawberries, oranges and nutmeg on the nose, followed by a fresh, fruity and medium-bodied palate. Lots of juicy fruit. Drink now or hold.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2022 Halley's Comet Pinot Noir charges out with powerful notes of juicy blackberries, black cherries and forest floor, leading to hints of black truffles, crushed rocks, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate is dense with black fruit and earthy sparks, supported by velvety tannins and amazing tension, finishing very long with so many layers.

96 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

Exotic red and black fruits, leafy herbs, underbrush, and sappy flower notes all shine in the 2022 Pinot Noir Halley's Comet, a beautifully balanced, elegant 2022 that has integrated acidity, ripe yet present tannins, and a stunning finish.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Deeply brooding, refined aromas of blackcurrants, bitter chocolate, blood plums, dark cherries, cedar and coffee beans. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and bright acidity that lead into a structured yet silky-smooth and savory finish. 92% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 2% malbec and 2% cabernet franc. Great to drink young, or will reward after time in bottle. Drink or hold.

93-95 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

The 2022 Insignia is a similar blend to the 2021 and checks in as 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% each of Malbec and Cabernet that's still resting in new barrels. It has a terrific dense purple/plum color as well as a perfumed, lifted nose of red and blue fruits, candied flowers, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, it's balanced, shows the plush, riper style of the vintage, has good tannins, and outstanding length.

93-95 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 Insignia is packed with succulent red cherry fruit, rose petal, sweet spice and new leather. The 2022 is shaping up to a be a showy Insignia, but it is not overdone.

95 Jonathan Cristaldi - Decanter Magazine

2022 is a beautifully structured and expressive wine. It opens with savoury wild herb notes—spearmint, bay laurel, and high-toned cinnamon spice—lifted by elegant red florals. A core of crunchy red fruit delivers ripe density balanced by energy and tension. Cocoa powder tannins provide grip without heaviness, and the finish is exceptional in length, refined and savoury. This is a poised and polished wine that confidently delivers the goods.

94-96 Jasper Morris, MW - Inside Burgundy

Bright mid purple. Immediate distinction and discretion, impeccably balanced. Alpine strawberry, finesse with intensity, picked at impeccable ripeness, the last red to be picked, on 9th September, but it has held out thanks to underground springs. Everything exactly where anybody would want it and stays in the mouth for so long. Drink from 2033-2045. Tasted Nov 2024.

98 Colin Hay - The Drinks Business

A wine of richness and classical depth, opening with aromas of sweet spice, dark berry and stone fruits, delicate dried florals, patchouli, violet, and an authentically Italian saline character. On the palate, it shows dynamic, tactile tannins that begin soft and spherical but develop a granularity guiding the fruit across the mid-palate, underpinned by an iron-tinged, slightly bloody richness that firmly places it in Tuscany. Hay emphasizes the vintage character, calling it a very “solaire” or sunny expression of Solaia, yet remarkably balanced with its lower 13.5% alcohol content, the first time in a decade it has fallen below 14%, ultimately finding it a deeply impressive and expressive wine of the vintage.

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

More elegant than powerful and more approachable than usual, with stunning concentration and complexity. Aromas of subtle cassis, toast, herbs and a refreshing balsamic touch. Firm on the palate, with a full body, velvety texture and moderate acidity but not at the expense of its great balance. Sleek, polished aftertaste with sweet tobacco flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

98 James Button - Decanter Magazine

The drought and heat of 2022 pushed vines in Tuscany to their limits, and the outcome in many cases are wines of density and concentration but with a vein of freshness – and that's exactly what we see here in the 2022 Solaia. It opens with cool aromas of damp earth, woodland berries, red fruit coulis and a waft of balsamic herbs. In the mouth it is immediately very fleshy, almost voluptuous but holding its shape. Balsam-infused black cherry and dark berries are deepened by chocolatey wood, while succulent acidity brings out the top end and leads to a long, bright, energetic and fresh finish which is full of promise for the future.

96 Kerin O'Keefe - kerinokeefe.com

Blueberry, black currant, eucalyptus and lavender aromas delicately waft out of the glass on the stunning 2022 Solaia along with whiffs dark spice. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignion, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Sangiovese, the structured, linear and savory palate delivers ripe black cherry, raspberry, red currant and layers of dark exotic spice accompanied by taut, close-grained that give the finish some grip. Drink 2027–2037.

96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Antinori’s 2022 Solaia opens with scents of graphite, lavender, espresso, menthol, plum and blackberry. Cabernet Sauvignon is so magical here, especially in its aromatic profile. Deep and layered on the palate, but in the mid-weight style of the year, the 2022 impresses with its poise and long, resonant finish. The 2022 is not a big wine, but it exudes striking balance. Its persistence is especially of note. Solaia is a highlight in a vintage that has plenty of ups and downs. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Sangiovese, a bit less Sangiovese than in most years.

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Fabulous white with subtle pineapple, stone, white peaches and apples, in an al-dente sense. Picked just at the right time. Medium-bodied with a dense center-palate and a wonderful, seemingly endless finish. Drink or hold.
