96 points Wine Enthusiast"Mocha, blue flower, menthol and forest berry aromas lift out of the glass. Firmly structured but elegant, the linear palate exhibits pomegranate, wild strawberry, star anise and white pepper alongside a backbone of fine-grained...

95 points Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateFruit for this wine comes from a 1.2-hectare site with classic calcareous soils. The 2018 Barolo Brunate is very different from the other two wines in this portfolio. Brunate shows a higher level of intensity and...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"The second wine of Cos d'Estournel is powerfully packed with tannins and dark ripe fruit. It is enormously rich and intense while keeping a fine smooth texture. There is a dark core that is going to allow the wine to develop...

Vinous Reverie NotesThe Sonnenmulde organic winery of the Schreiner family is located in Gols, one of the most famous and successful wine-growing communities in Austria. There, on the north-eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl, the estate has been owned by the...

95 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate"The 2020s feel very elegant, and the 2020 Paso Las Mañas, which mentions the Paraje El Chorro in Samaniego where the vines are, is no exception. It has a very lively palate that is effervescent with...

90-92 points Jeb Dunnuck"Deep purple hued with a classic Syrah nose of ripe black fruits, game, violets, and peppery notes, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Villages Vaison-La-Romaine Shyrus hits the palate with medium to full body, ripe yet building...

91 points Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe only one of the 2019 reds to have been bottled at the time of my visit, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage is a super effort, and it should represent a terrific value (the 2018 sells for about $30). Hints of violets...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"Fruity and refreshing, this well-balanced and medium-bodied wine offers mouthfilling Golden apple and Bosc pear flavors backed by lively acidity and mild notes of vanilla and butter." Vinous Reverie Notes"Los Primeros - meaning...

91 points Wine Spectator"Silky-textured, with glossy red and black fruit. Gains shape from gently grippy tannins, while crushed iron details add savory dimension. This is flecked with tapenade and fresh black pepper. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre...
