"Easily one of the top wines in the vintage, the incredible 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet comes from the northern part of the appellation and is made from 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre. Full-bodied, decadent and layered, with fabulous mid-palate depth and building tannin and structure, it knocks it out of the park with it ripe black raspberry, roasted meats, chocolate, licorice and toasted spice aromas and flavors. While this might take a back seat to the 2010 and 2007, it’s an awesome wine that will have 15-20 years of longevity."

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with a dark and dusty bouquet as dried flowers and crushed stone give way to red currants. It’s soft textured with tactile mineral tones up front, adding a crunchy character to the tart wild berry fruits within. The 2019 finishes long and staining, leaving a tinge of balsamic spice and a liquid stone sensation that mellows over a bed of fine tannins. This is a brighter style for Mocali, and I like it quite a bit.

The Mocali 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle Raunate carries lots of thick fruit weight that wraps over the palate in its entirety. There are hints of candied cherry, raspberry confit and baked plum. These dark fruit nuances give lift and verticality to the bouquet, but the wine is otherwise very broad and rich in terms of mouthfeel.

Though tightly wound, there's a core of concentrated cherry and plum to this red, along with accents of earth, tobacco and rosemary. Fresh and balanced, leaving a layer of fine tannins on the extended finish. Best from 2027 through 2042. 4,200 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

Just bottled, the 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is stellar. It offers a beguiling mix of dense fruit supported by a core of vibrant acids. Striking aromatics, notable depth and exceptional balance make the Riserva a winner. This is a such a gorgeous and compelling wine.

This wine is fresh, lively with aromas of raspberry compote, strawberry jam, potpourri and cinnamon on the nose. The flavors on the palate are strawberry, cassis, crisp red apple skins, black tea, dancing across the mouth into cardamom spice, licorice, and supple, silk tannins. Pair with conversation and a good friend.

"Even parts of chardonnay and pinot noir naturally fermented in a combination of stainless steel and wood, this has a beautifully pure and fresh nose with almonds, brioche, lemon, chalky stony aromas, light rose, vanilla and strawberry. Beautifully nuanced and detailed palate with a super fine thread of acidity that fuses perfectly ripe fruit that is coated in a sheen of very smooth polished tannins. Delicate, seamless and long, crisp apple finish. Drink now."

"The NV Brut Cuvée Ste.-Anne is one of the best Champagnes readers will find in its price range, or any price range, for that matter. Bright and beautifully focused, the Ste.-Anne has so much to offer. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. If anything, it needs more time on the cork to soften, as it is quite reticent at this stage. This release is based on 2017, with reserve wines from 2016 and 2015. The blend is 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, with the Chardonnay very much in evidence at this stage. Dosage is 5.15 grams/liter."

Vibrant and lifted with poppy fruit, the 2022 Pinot Noir Mirabai is a brilliant ruby hue, with fresh, lifted aromas of wild red cranberry, white pepper, and fresh tangerine. Open and approachable, with medium body and soft elegant fruit as well as a supple texture and fresh acidity, it's even-keeled and has a hint of spice on the finish. I love this wine for youthful fresh drinking.

"Juicy and lively red currant, blood orange and dried sage show on the nose. The palate is fresh raspberry, strawberry, orange zest, black cherry and allspice. A dry finish weaves in espresso, mocha and more lifted fruit. Pair with drunken noodles. -TP"

The wine's name derives from the eight-year noncompete agreement originator Dave Phinney signed when selling his brand The Prisoner. A Zinfandel-based blend, the 2022 Red Blend 8 Years in the Desert kicks off with briary, blackberry-like notions, plus hints of peppery spice and vanilla. It's full-bodied and flavorful but falls away a bit on the mid-palate, then finishes soft and gently dusty.

95 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

The wine is gorgeously expressed and elegantly lifted on the nose showing blackcurrant, dark plum, cigar and toasted almond characters. It is superbly weighted and concentrated on the palate, delivering excellent depth and intensity, backed by fine texture and firm, chalky tannins. Sturdy and lingering. At its best: now to 2027.
