Deep ruby/plum-hued, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Amethyste brings terrific richness and concentration, with ripe red and black fruits as well as violets, smoked meats, rose petals, and incense nuances. Fermented with more stems than usual and aged in demi-muids, it's medium to full-bodied, has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This complex, floral, seamless Côte Rôtie will keep for two decades or more. Drink 2025-2045.

Aromas of dark wild berries, spices, blood and dark cherries preface the 2022 Cote Rotie Amethyste, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and structured Côte-Rôtie framed by powdery tannins and a dense, vibrant core of fruit. It concludes with a long, ethereal and licorice-inflected finish and was crafted from different estate plots. Fermentation was with 80% whole clusters, and it matured in used barrels. Perfectly crafted, this Côte-Rôtie is a wine that invariably rewards patience.

Packed with black fruits and balanced acidity, this is the second wine of Quinta do Vale Meão. Aged for 14 months in wood, its fruit is rich while also having freshness. The wine's name comes from the massive horseshoe bend in the Douro that forms the boundary of the estate. Drink from 2026. — Roger Voss

Light yellow green, silver reflections. Delicate notes of elderflower, some passion fruit, a hint of white stone fruit. Elegant, juicy, full-bodied tropical fruit, fresh acidity, lingers well, salty finish, a versatile summer wine.

"Red berries, cherries, minerals and hibiscus on the nose with a very juicy, medium-bodied palate and fresh veins of tannins. The elegant, medium-long finish is vibrant and full of good pristine fruit. Drink now." - Zekun Shuai

Both of these blocks are planted to Clone 2, a virus-free clone that came to FPS from Lodi. Block 7 was planted in 1975 and Block 22 in 1995. The 2022 Zinfandel Blocks 7 & 22 features floral, tea-like and even orange-like aromas, plus bold berry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, silky-textured and open, with only the slightest hint of raisined fruit and a hint of French oak (one-third new barrels for 15 months). Finishing long and velvety, it's a fine Zin for drinking young, at a reasonable price.

"The 2023 Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Wine is a wild, exotic wine. Red cherry, kirsch, apricot, mint, blood orange, spice, rose petal and sweet spice all grace this layered, silky Zinfandel-based field blend from vines planted in 1910. The presence of some white grapes adds character. The Dolinsek is such a distinctive wine, one that truly soars in 2023."

94 Erin Brooks - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

"The 2023 Zinfandel Dolinsek Ranch Heritage comes from Zinfandel vines interplanted in 1910 with smaller portions of Alicante Bouschet, Barbera, Syrah, Black Muscat and other varieties. From grapes harvested very late on October 13, it has inviting aromas of red and black cherries and berries, wildflowers and spice. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated yet detailed flavors. It’s framed by soft, silky tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, spicy finish. It opens dramatically with air and will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar."

A blend of Swartland, Hemel and Stellenbosch fruit, the 2023 Pinotage has a delightful bouquet with mulberry and light blueberry scents, fine definition and purity. Maybe you would not guess it was Pinotage if tasted blind. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity and a caressing texture, with a touch of black olive tapenade on the grainy textured finish. Very fine.

"Aromas of black olives and rich dark cherries with brambly and meaty undertones. Fruity and juicy, with a solid fruit core on the mid-palate, which is fleshy, medium-bodied and nicely chewy. A dark, solid, fruity wine. Drink now." - Zekun Shuai

Some fruit from Roncaglie goes into this wine, along with tidbits from other scattered Barolo vineyards. Aged for two years in large oak barrel, the Vietti 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is not too far off from tasting and smelling like a full-fledged Barbaresco, or even a Barolo for that matter, since it does technically have the DNA of both. The fruit is delivered with fresh, vertical intensity, and the wine's texture is firm and tensile. I like this vintage more than I thought I would.
