Product Description
Ringbolt Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 202
93 points James Suckling
"This is very floral, with lots of violets, together with such attractive blueberries, blackcurrants, cherries, terra cotta and fresh herbs. The palate is very intense, with rich, fine tannins that have supple texture and bright, taut red and dark-berry flavors. Toasty-oak edge to the finish. So approachable. Drink or hold."

Veronica Ortega, Quite Mencia Bierzo 2016
92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The light, perfumed and highly drinkable 2016 Quite is produced with grapes from old Mencia vines from different plots in the village of Valtuille de Abajo on clay and sandy soils. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel, and the wine was partly aged in used French barriques and in 800-liter terracotta amphora for eight months. It has notes of iron and blood, with an herbal touch, less exuberant and more serious. It's textured and combines juicy fruit with earthy minerality, agile and weightless but with energy. Great introduction to Bierzo and great value. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2017."

92 points Wine Enthusiast
Tasty, toasted oak flavors intertwine with plenty of ripe red cherry and blackberry notes in this bold, flavorful and well-balanced wine. One of the best bottles in the Josh lineup."

Siete Fincas, Malbec Mendoza 2021
90 points Decanter
"This full-bodied wine has a nose of blackberry and vanilla. On the palate, slightly rough tannins support blackberry and toasted oak. Moderate acidity is enough to freshen up the lingering finish."

Gagliole, Rubiolo Chianti Classico 2017
92 points James Suckling
"This has lovely dark plums, fresh herbs and violets. On the palate it’s tightly knit and elegant with a firm row of tannin, running through layers of pretty berries. Drink in 2020."

Laurent Martray, Corentin Brouilly 2016
92 points Vinous
"Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Displays mineral-accented red/blue fruit preserve scents that are lifted by suave floral and mineral flourishes. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that are underscored by tangy acidity and a vein of smoky minerality. Closes very long and subtly tannic, showing sharp delineation and a suave blend of power and delicacy."
