It's pristine and delicately expressed on the nose with green rockmelon, crunchy apple and lime peel nuances, leading to a finely flowing palate that's juicy and linear. Brilliantly fine and elegant with a sustained crisp finish. At its best: 2024 to 2034

The vivid aromas, ranging from lime to mandarin orange and orange blossoms, are married to a generous and juicy palate that makes this very appealing. Then it turns nicely dry and very clean at the lemon and lime-zest finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

"Energetic grass, nettle and asparagus with smatterings of zesty lime and gooseberry and hints of honey steer themselves mindfully towards the long, saline finish. Mouth-watering stuff."

91 International Wine Report

“The 2021 Hidden Vines Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe plums and black cherries, layered with enticing aromas of warm spices, and hints of florals. On the palate, it displays a medium/full body with juicy dark fruit flavors laced with notes of spices and fresh-cut violets with an undertone of dark chocolate and subtle oak which all build into a velvety finish that lingers with a nice balance of dark fruits and hints of spices.”

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Dark cherries and blackberries with notes of chocolate, walnuts and grilled herbs. Full-bodied, structured and compact, with velvety tannins and deep, dark berry succulence in the middle. Rich and creamy at the end. Better in two to three years.

Aromas of tropical fruits and freshly picked limes. There is a piercing concentration of flavors, leading to a surprisingly medium-bodied palate with loads of fresh citrus flavors.

96 Wine Enthusiast

"Quite light in the glass, this is a lovely style of lighter Pinot Noir, starting with aromas of light red fruit, peppered meats and sandalwood. There's a tight tension to the sip, where dried cranberry, orange peel, salumi and peppercorn flavors align into an umami bomb. -MK"

94 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2019 Pinot Noir Old Corral is a gorgeous, distinctive wine. Now with some time in bottle, the 2019 offers lovely complexity and tons of nuance. Succulent red/purplish fruit, blood orange, star anise, spice, mint and sweet pipe tobacco all grace this mid-weight, curvy Pinot. The mix of Swan and Mount Eden clones work so well. This is all charm."

92 Wine Enthusiast

This ruby-hued wine is vibrant, with aromas of red plum, raspberry, dried red currant and dried herbs on the nose. The flavors on the palate are cranberry-cherry, blood orange zest and dried peach, gliding into watermelon, white pepper, mineral and a mouthwatering finish. Pair with grilled veggies.

"The 2019 The Buccaneer ‘Dead Drift’ Red Blend delivers aromas of red plums, wild berries, spices, pepper and oak nuances that all develop in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied and structured with soft, velvety tannins ending with a round finish."

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"There is a bit of chalkiness to the strawberries, very ripe cherries and cranberries. Some grapefruit and herbs, too. Juicy, medium-bodied palate with firm and fresh tannins and a very appetizing finish. An excellent pinot from Casablanca. Drink now."

91 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Vitis Unica from Casablanca was aged for 12 months with 80% in French foudres and 20% in oak barrels. Ruby red in the glass. The tart, expressive nose features sour cherry, damp earth and roses. It’s austere but fairly lively in the mouth with mild, grippy tannins that lend depth. A refreshing Pinot."

90 Wine Enthusiast

"This smooth and well-balanced wine has everything in place, from the black cherry and mild oak spice aromas to the vibrant black-cherry flavors to the light tannins and fruit acidity that keep it appetizing. -JG"

The Lisini 2019 Brunello is compelling, starting with its captivating aromas of fragrant blue flower, hay, perfumed berry, dark exotic spice, new leather and aromatic herb. It’s also delicious, delivering a great depth of flavors including juicy Morello cherry, raspberry croissant, licorice and crushed mint before a blood orange close. A backbone of velvety tannins provides seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. What a gorgeous wine and the best Brunello I’ve had so far from this historic estate.

97 Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator

Leafy underbrush, earth and dusty mineral notes frame the core of cherry and raspberry flavors in this succulent red, which is supple, with a layer of chewy, chalky tannins coating the finish. Balanced overall, with a long, cherry-infused aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2043. From Italy.—B.S.

Below the town of Sant'Angelo in Colle, Lisini sprawls over 120 hectares, 24 of which are planted to vines. The 2019 embodies this warm, munificent, exotically scented southern stretch of Montalcino. Ripe arbutus berry and red rose meld marvellously with chestnut, iron and sunbaked earth. Sumptuously textured, it is generous in body and flavour, exuding fleshy persimmon and ripe strawberry. The palate drips with luscious acidity and a mineral drive lifts the core. Sandy tannins are relatively supple without sacrificing their commanding hold, and it finishes with crushed allspice.

Kim Crawford's 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is round and supple with tangy acidity. It's rather muted in terms of flavor concentration and has a short finish.
