93 points Wine Enthusiast"A strong vintage for Te Mata and the Hawke's Bay region in general, this release of Elston strikes a fine balance between fruit ripeness, freshness and oak. Lemon and pineapple aromas are vibrant above seashell and creamy oak...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck"As with almost all of the Syrahs here, the 2020 Syrah The Deal was not destemmed, saw an extended maceration, and spent 18 months in 40% new French puncheons. Deep ruby/purple-hued, it has an incredibly floral perfume of black and...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"In this wine, lemon and green-apple flavors are edged with hints of dried orange peel and hazelnuts. While ripe on the palate, it maintains a steely, sharply honed edge and delicately salty, chalky finish that grounds it firmly...

95 points James Suckling"Lots of beautiful fruit with blackberries and orange peel with crushed stone character. Medium body. Fine tannins and vivid acid underneath. Made from co-planted vines in the Douro. August 2023 release. Better after 2026...

91 points Vinous"Sweetly scented and impossible to ignore, the 2022 Pallagrello Bianco Caiatì opens in the glass with notes of peach and mango complemented by sweet white flowers and a dusting of spice. This soothes with its cooling acidity as...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"Candied boysenberry, blueberry paste, milk chocolate and a bit of smoke make for a wildly complex nose on this bottling. There is plenty of tannic support on the rich and hearty palate, which is loaded with roasted blueberry,...

95 points James Suckling"Wonderfully delicate floral aromas with citrusy freshness on the focused and concentrated palate. So pure and straight with fantastic integration of oak, fruit and body. Long pristine finish that has a flinty edge that adds a lot...

95 points Wine Spectator"Round and opulent, this red features cherry, raspberry, rose, menthol, tobacco and mineral flavors. Dense and firmly structured, with superb balance and terrific length. Combines power and finesse. Best from 2026 through 2047...

93 points Wine Advocate"I also tasted the white 2022 Trenzado from old cordón trenzado vineyards of Listán Blanco in the village of Los Realejos. It fermented and matured in oak foudres and barrels for 11 months. It has lower alcohol than...
