"(45% pinot meunier, 25% pinot noir and 25% chardonnay, with the rest arbanne, petit meslier and fromenteau; disgorged in April, 2013): Bright straw. Pungent aromas of Meyer lemon, pear and fig, with a gingery accent adding lift. Sappy, penetrating citrus fruit and floral flavors are given a refreshingly bitter character by notes of pear skin and peach pit, with a waxy note coming up on the back half. A smoky nuance lingers on the finish, which shows very good clarity and length. Fifty-five percent of this blend is from 2010 and the rest is reserve wines, mostly from a solera that was begun in 1998." (12/13)

"This is not your typical non-vintage Brut. The Aubry brothers include ancient indigenous varieties, which make up five percent of the blend; pinot meunier accounts for 45 percent, the balance in equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay. Nearly half of the blend is reserve wine, half of that coming from a solera made up of vintages going back to 1998. If all that seems complicated, the wine is not. Instead, it tastes like an essential Champagne, with scents of chalk, oyster mushroom, pear skin and lemon pulp creating a bold surround-sound of flavor. There's purity to the expression and a healthy weight to the wine. Pour it with sea bass roasted with chanterelles." (12/13)

"The non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Reserva reveals a medium amber hue along with a nutty, honeyed, dry personality with great acid." (08/12)

"A more flattering style, with an off-dry edge to the walnut paste, hazelnut, date and clove-studded orange notes, which show nice focus and zip on the finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported. -JM" (Reviewed 02/12)

Dried flowers, dried herbs and conserved cherries on the nose, with a touch of red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, framed by polished tannins, with delicate fruit and a velvety, prodigious texture that is highly attractive. Derived from long aging on the skins in amphora (talha, as they are known in Alentejo). Drink now.

94 Wine Spectator

This is intense, offering mentholated cherry, plum, earth, iron and tar flavors. There’s a brooding feel to this red, with a line of thick tannins guarding the finish. Best from 2029 through 2047. 275 cases made, 83 cases imported.

"Year in and year out, one of the most exotic, flamboyant, and sexiest cuvees in the d'Arenberg portfolio is The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier. The 2005 exhibits a spring flower garden-like character interwoven with blackberries, creme de cassis, melted licorice, and sweet, toasty new oak. Opulent and voluptuous, with silky tannin, and a plump, fleshy, rich, full-bodied personality, this offering is meant to be consumed over the next 5-8 years."

The 2016 Santa Croce is the estate's blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent close to eight years in cask during a time when proprietor Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa was ill and some lots sat undisturbed in cellar for extended periods. Dark red fruit, rose petal, spice and menthol build in the glass. Most suprisingly, the 2016 is shockingly fresh for a wine of its age. This is a great, great wine. It's not Sangiovese, it's not Cabernet Sauvignon, it's not a blend. It’s simply Castell'in Villa at its most profound. (AG)

A rich and dark-fruited wine with complex aromas of brooding black cherries, resinous herbs and mint. The palate is juicy, with broad tannins and flavors of cherries, sage and black tea. Medium- to full-bodied. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous wine from Castell'in Villa. Soft contours are the first sign of a rare young Chianti Classico from this estate that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Dark wild cherry, cedar and pipe tobacco open first. The 2020 offers gorgeous dark Sangiovese fruit along with all of the structure that is so typical of the wines here. Plum, graphite, leather, incense and dried herbs shape the striking finish. What an absolute delight!

A core of pure cherry and raspberry fruit heralds this red, along with orange peel, licorice and tar flavors. Elegant, if tightly wound today, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity driving the finish. Offers terrific balance and length. Best from 2029 through 2047. 355 cases made, 150 cases imported.

The 2023 Chardonnay Green Quartz was sourced from Casablanca. Fifty percent of the wine aged for six months in French oak barrels. Golden in hue, it delivers creamy, buttery aromas alongside notes of corn, apple and ginger. Indulgent and rich, the tasty, simple palate delivers balanced finish. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Oatmeal aromas with notes of pineapple, roasted almond and pie crust. Slightly saline on the palate with medium body and bright acidity. Not complex but pretty flavorful in the finish. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now.

87 Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of tropical fruits invade the nose of this light-bodied wine. The palate delivers subtle notes of mango and pineapple, followed by spices. This is an enjoyable and easygoing Chardonnay. — Jesica Vargas

Showing great warm-vintage intensity and focus, the Tolaini 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Montebello Sette represents a deep dive into Sangiovese. This elegant expression of the grape (delivered in a production of 15,000 bottles) shows a bold fruit profile with spot-on ripeness and bold cherry. It follows through with a mildly creamy texture. More depth is provided thanks to delicate mineral shadings and lightly toasted spice. These are balanced and elegant results.
