92+ Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Faustine Vieilles Vignes Rosé is labeled as Vin de France because of the use of a single indigenous grape: Sciaccarello. Evoking aromas of rose petals, grapefruit, spring flowers, iodine, red berries, peach, garrigue and lemon, it’s sappy and velvety, built around bright acids with a fleshy core of fruit and a fresh, salty and iodine-laced finish. As usual, this overperforming estate from granite soils has produced a rosé that punches above its weight."

The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale—tasted as a tank sample—boasts knockout aromas of rose petals, garrigue, ripe cherries and red raspberries. It's full-bodied and tannic, concentrated yet somehow light, airy and refreshing at the same time, with a long, lingering finish. Great stuff from vines more than 100 years old.

This astonishing 2022 Chateauneuf has giant depth and concentration of black fruit aromas with notes of spices and dry earth, beneath which is a deep foundation of super-fine tannins. Very long, imposing finish with stacks of licorice and black olive character. Great aging potential. 92% grenache from vines planted in 1901 and 1902, with a small amount of white grape varieties inter-planted. Matured exclusively in concrete tanks. Bottled unfiltered. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Showing more structure than the La Morra bottling, the gorgeous 2019 Comune di Castiglione Falletto from Monchiero is a classic Barolo. Boasting aromas and flavors of camphor, rose, forest floor, ripe red berry and baking spice, it also has great energy and tension thanks to firm, refined tannins and fresh acidity. Notes of licorice and mint linger on the finish. Drink 2029–2044. Abv: 14% Kerin O’Keefe August 2023 ©kerinokeefe.com

90 International Wine Report

The 2023 Quartz Sauvignon Blanc is bright and lively, this beings with vivid aromas of lychee, lime zest, herbs, wet stones and white floral notes all bursting from the glass. On the palate this is nicely balanced with a lovely combination of bright acidity, citrus and fresh tropical fruits all leading up to the mouthwatering finish.

"Currants, red plums and green olives follow through to a medium-bodied palate with lightly chewy tannins and a crunchy, medium-length finish. Not complex, but quite well-balanced. Drink now."

90 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

"If there's a wine that encapsulates what Chile can offer as a crowd-pleaser, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Los Vascos might just top the list. Sourced from Peralillo in the Colchagua Valley, it boasts a purple hue. The fruit-forward nose features blackberry and cherry notes, along with hints of pepper. Indulgent, clingy and flavorful, the faintly grippy tannins ensure a textured mouthfeel."

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Stillwater Creek Vineyard offers notes of blackberry preserves on the dark and brooding nose, which is softly volatile and displays the 14.9% alcohol. Full-bodied, big and juicy, the wine seems as if it’s been pushed too far, and the fruit's expressions seem to run together, blurring the line of finesse and precision. The wine ends with tannic grip on the long, juicy and chocolaty finish, leaving me wanting more varietal purity and finesse. For those who appreciate a big, bold wine, this is it.

20 Rand Sealey - Rand Sealey's Review of Washington Wines

From what is now the Royal Slope AVA, this is blended with 12% Merlot. It displays an inky ruby color and intense aromas of wild blackberries, old tree cherries, Damson plums, crushed black roses, sweet tobacco, sweet pea flowers, sandalwood, cedar, black olive, rosemary, a hint of mint, and stick incense. The flavors are simultaneously velvety and authoritative, marked by infusions of crèmede cacao, French press coffee and Frenchman Hills alluvial minerals. On the back, the wine enrichens further(from the Merlot) with sensations of pressed fruits,roasted pecans, mocha, pulverized charcoal, integrated oak (again 100% new French) followed seamlessly by a long, complex sweet-dry tannin finish. This is old vine Royal Slope Cabernet at its best. 20/20 points
