If you enjoy the elegant coconut perfume issued by Bumble and bumble's Creme De Coco Shampoo, you must try this wine. A perfect coconut aroma blends seamlessly with icy lemon granita and aloe vera notes. A lightning bolt of acidity drives flavors like ripe nectarines, wet slate, rosemary and lime. Lather up.

"An earthy coolness, of soil, herbs, salt and tart berries defines the nose, while the palate is simultaneously direct, balanced and ethereal, as delicate, savory overtones hover above a precise fruit element and a latent, simmering heat. -DC"

This is an easygoing and affordable example of modern, cool climate Aussie Pinot. Ripe red berries bounce from the glass, followed by quieter aromas of florals, baking spice and a slight mushroomy savoriness. The palate is light to medium in weight, fleshy and round, but with a tug of savory tannins holding it all together. Knock back slightly chilled, with or without food.

Powerful and opulent yet graceful and balanced, the wine is richly layered with dark and purple fruit, cedary oak, cake spice and mocha. The impressively concentrated palate delivers a multi-layered mouthfeel and beautifully integrated tannins, making it sumptuous and immensely appealing. At its best: 2026 to 2040.

94 Decanter

Impressively fresh given the heat of the vintage, the wine shows boysenberry fruit and dark purple floral notes, with an underlying earthiness from the Grenache and Zinfandel in the blend. Syrah contributes muscle, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds juiciness and lift. Full-bodied and velvety, it has an underlying tension that keeps everything in balance.

95 Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal

This Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon leans into the appellation’s unmistakable character: dark fruited, finely structured, and marked by a savory mineral edge. Layers of black plum, cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, graphite, and warm spice build across the palate, framed by supple tannins and a long finish. The wine’s hallmark is its balance – concentrated and polished, with the dusty Rutherford signature giving it depth, grip, and a clear sense of place. Get it while you can, this is a lovely wine.

The Fattoria le Pupille 2024 Morellino di Scansano is led by Sangiovese with small percentages of Alicante and Ciliegiolo that bring extra brightness and energy. In Maremma, complex soils of volcanic deposits layered with ancient marine sediments define the character of the region, and for this wine, the Sangiovese is planted on sandstone soils that enhance elegance and aromatic lift, while other parcels feature pietra serena, red clays and limestone matched carefully to the appropriate variety. The bouquet offers redcurrant, myrtle and fragrant herbal notes of fresh rosemary and thyme, evoking the herb garden that lines the walkway to the estate’s newly inaugurated tasting room and visitor center. This wine offers phenomenal value.

The nose is a mix of crunchy red fruit and flowers, as cherries mingle with peonies, plus a touch of orange peel for texture and density. Strawberries and raspberries join more cherries on the palate, with earth and bitter citrus underneath. Fresh and vibrant.

The 2022 Cabernet Franc is peppery, fresh and lifted. It displays crushed raspberries complicated by dried roses and violet pastilles. It splashes across the palate with ease, showcasing savory red berry fruits and hints of citrus. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as this finishes with staining length and gentle tannins, leaving a pleasantly chewy feel.

92 Wine Enthusiast

A wine that smells and tastes like blackberries is off to a fine start. Additional aromas of violets, petrichor and pie crust are matched bonus flavors of clove and a saline note similar to squid ink. There's plenty of acidity here,along with velvety tannins, to match up with those berries. Give me a glass of this wine with a bowl of homemade beef barley soup and I will be a happy human.
