1-Resonance 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Oregon
Decanter Magazine 94 Rating
This so-called ‘entry-level’ Willamette Valley bottling is absolutely stellar. Pretty aromatics of Moroccan spices, pine bough and deep notes of forest floor. On the palate, an elegance and finesse. Wonderful red fruits chopped mint leaves and lively blue fruit character. Forest-driven umami and a wonderfully integrated, supple mouthfeel through the finish.
2-Chateau Pegau 2022 Cuvee Maclura Cotes du Rhone Southern Rhone Valley
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Rating
I loved the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Cuvée Maclura, which would be one heck of a great house red. Spicy red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, leather, and herbes de Provence all give way to a medium-bodied, supple, nicely textured, savory, focused red that’s absolutely loaded with character.
3-iL Poggione 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany Italy
Vinous 96 Rating
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today.
4-Hamel Family Wines 2020 Stratum Red Blend Sonoma Valley
The Tasting Panel 95 Rating
From the western slopes of the Mayacamas, volcanic soils of rhyolitic colluvium and fractured basalt play an integral role in shaping the character of this estate blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot. Seamless, luscious, and broad, with suede tannins capturing ripe red cherry and cinnamon tea. A dusty cocoa-plum profile exudes pulchritude and charm.
