Finca Decero Amano 2019

Mendoza

February 25, 2026 - As the flagship of the estate, Decero Amano takes its name from Finca Decero's “amano” or “by hand” approach. Each year, the wine is masterfully blended using the most distinctive parcels from the Remolinos Vineyard. A blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Tannat, the wine is characterized by its warm aromas of leather, liquorice and baked black plum. World-renowned wine critic, Luis Gutierrez, of The Wine Advocate, once described the wine as “pure silk, with a kind of Audrey Hepburn perfection.”

James Suckling -June 27, 2022 "A deep, complex and full-bodied blend of 61% malbec, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot and 2% tannat, showing blackberries, dark olives, cocoa powder and dark spices. Quite dense and…

Casisano Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Tuscany

February 24, 2026 - Casisano Brunello di Montalcino is an elegant, traditional-style wine from a mid-sized estate in the southern hills of Montalcino, nestled between Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, this wine is a true expression of Montalcino’s terroir, shaped by over 100 years of winemaking passion. The nose opens with floral and spicy aromas, leading to ripe cherry and plum flavors. Hints of dried herbs and earthy undertones provide depth, while vibrant acidity and fine tannins ensure a well-rounded, lasting finish.

Wine Spectator -April 06, 2026 "Cherry, pomegranate and rose aromas and flavors are front and center in this round, fleshy red. Hints of green olive, eucalyptus, iron and tar add complexity. Shows fine balance and…

Jeb Dunnuck -February 18, 2026 "The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a transparent red/orange hue and offers savory aromas of ripe cranberries, bergamot, anise, and menthol. The palate is tangy and medium-bodied, with elegant fine…

Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - Ponzi, a pioneer in Oregon Pinot Gris, helped establish it as the state’s first quality white grape variety. Their Pinot Gris is aromatic, expressive, and perfect for easy drinking, offering fantastic value with serious pedigree. Sourced from LIVE Certified Sustainable vineyards like Avellana, Aurora, and Madrona, it features aromas of marmalade, yellow plum, and honeycomb, balanced by lemongrass and lavender. The textured mouthfeel shows dried apricot, mango, and vanilla, finishing with bright acidity and salted caramel.

James Suckling -January 29, 2026 "A delicate, aromatic, light-bodied wine with a fresh and crunchy palate and mouthwatering acidity. Aromas of green pears, orchard fruit and blossoms, with flavors of grapefruit and white peaches. It…

Domaine Roy & Fils Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - The calling card of Domaine Roy & Fils, the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is the only Pinot from the winery that comes from both estate vineyards–Iron Filbert in Dundee Hills and Quartz Acron in Yamhill-Carlton. The wine sees 15 days of maceration on the skins followed by 10 months of lees aging in barriques, of which only 10% are new oak. The wine expresses the signature style of Domaine Roy & Fils, favoring elegance over power: floral notes mix with lifted red fruit on the nose, followed by a bright, sappy Bing cherry character on the palate.

Wine Spectator -February 09, 2026 "Keenly structured and dynamic, with multilayered flavors of raspberry and guava that take on forest floor and dusky spice accents as this finishes on a stony mineral note. Drink now…

Vinous -July 01, 2025 "Bright cherry-berry fruits mix with citrus zest and violets as the 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley opens in the glass. The nose is cooling to the senses, showing a solid…

Jeb Dunnuck -August 17, 2026 "A deep jeweled ruby color, the 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is sourced from both vineyards, with slightly more fruit from Yamhill. Deep and attractive, it reveals dark stone fruit,…

Domaine Roy & Fils Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a skillful blend of the Iron Filbert Vineyard in Dundee Hills and the Quartz Acorn Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, planted with Clones 76 and 95. It offers a fresh and lively bouquet with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, accompanied by delicate floral notes, with an elegant and mineral-driven mouthfeel.

Wine Spectator -May 01, 2026 "Fragrant and refined, with well-focused flavors of apricot, lemon and apple that finish on a zesty, spicy accent."

Vinous -July 01, 2025 "The 2024 Chardonnay Incline Willamette Valley is zesty and intense from the first tilt of the glass, as flintstone mingles with citrus rinds and crushed green apples. Mineral-drenched orchard fruits…

Domaine Roy & Fils Iron Filbert Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - A fantastic showcase of the winery’s “home property,” the Iron Filbert Vineyard. Aromatically complex, showcasing ripe plums alongside baking spices and sage. The palate is lengthy and rounded from its structured silky tannins and minerality, tasting of candied cherries, toasted chestnuts and slate.

Wine Spectator -May 01, 2026 "A dynamic red, offering rich and detailed flavors of raspberry and cherry framed by crushed rock, forest floor and dusky spices."

Vinous -July 01, 2025 "Earthy in the best possible way, the 2024 Pinot Noir Iron Filbert Vineyard evolves in the glass with notes of sour cherry and blackberry, giving way to a hint of…

Jeb Dunnuck -August 17, 2026 "...displays a deep magenta red hue while remaining youthful in appearance. Aromas of black cherries, smoky cedar, polished pine, menthol, black raspberry liqueur, stony earth, and candied orange unfold with…

Domaine Roy & Fils Iron Filbert Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - Sourced from the highest-elevation block of the Iron Filbert Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, this Chardonnay, crafted from Clones 95 and 76, is hand-sorted and whole-cluster pressed. It is 100% barrel fermented and aged on lees for 10 months in 20% new French oak. On the palate, golden apple and pear are layered with citrus and floral notes. A creamy texture and vibrant acidity are complemented by the volcanic minerality of the Dundee Hills, giving the wine depth and energy.

Wine Spectator -May 01, 2026 "Dynamic and steely, with delicately layered flavors of lemon and lime laced with crushed stone, fresh ginger and spice accents."

Vinous -July 01, 2025 "The 2024 Chardonnay Iron Filbert Vineyard is distinctly savory in the glass, as a whiff of white smoke and crushed stone evolves to reveal yellow apple and a hint of…

Jeb Dunnuck -August 17, 2026 "Pouring a bright yellow color with a green tinge, the 2024 Chardonnay Incline spends about 10 months on the lees and sees a touch more new oak. Toast, elegant baking…

Domaine Roy & Fils Quartz Acorn Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Willamette Valley

February 20, 2026 - The Quartz Acorn Vineyard, located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, faces southeast and is rooted in ancient, well-draining marine sedimentary soils rich in quartz. Hand-sorted, 100% barrel fermented with full malolactic. It is aged on lees for 10 months in 20% new French oak. On the palate, it offers notes of apple and peach, bright citrus and white flowers, balanced by light creaminess, lively acidity, and a clean, saline finish.

Wine Spectator -May 01, 2026 "Steely and vibrant, with laser-focused accents of lemon tart, pear, mineral and spices that build richness on the finish."

Vinous -July 01, 2025 "The 2024 Chardonnay Quartz Acorn Vineyard is distinctly savory in the glass, as crushed nectarines mingle with sesame seeds and flinty reduction. Silken textures coat the palate with glycerol depth…

Jeb Dunnuck -August 17, 2026 "...pours a green-flecked, bright yellow color and gains impressive intensity with aromas of honey, pilsner, minty herbs, lemon balm, toast, a touch of flint, green pear, and delicate passion fruit.…

Le Macchiole Scrio 2021

Toscana IGT

February 19, 2026 - First produced in 1994, Scrio is a unique interpretation, and one of the very few Syrahs produced in Bolgheri, with an aromatic profile that tends more toward the spicy notes of the variety than the balsamic ones, and has acidity and freshness on the palate. The production numbers are tiny, never exceeding 5,000 bottles.

Wine Spectator -October 15, 2024 "This vibrant, elegant, supple red exudes blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruit, with violet, graphite and black pepper accents. Driven by vivid acidity and punctuated with velvety tannins, this is…

Wine Advocate -February 15, 2024 "The Le Macchiole 2021 Scrio (made with 100% Syrah) is a wine of generosity, depth and texture. It offers a full embrace of the senses with mulberry, damson plum, soft…

Vinous -December 10, 2024 "The 2021 Scrio, Le Macchiole’s Syrah, opens with crushed flowers, bright, red-toned fruit and a kick of white pepper. Vibrant acids lift the mid-palate beautifully. This is an especially elegant,…

Wine Enthusiast -December 01, 2024 "Perfumed, spicy, earthy aromas of top soil, sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, candied orange peel, Luxardo cherry and rose petals create a nose that's simultaneously sophisticated and adventurous. The palate balances…

Le Macchiole Paleo Bianco 2024

Toscana IGT

February 19, 2026 - Le Macchiole Paleo Bianco, first produced in 1991 in small quantities for a local restaurant, is a sophisticated blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Initially dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, recent vintages have seen a shift towards more Chardonnay. This high-end Italian white wine is silky and mineral-driven, fermented in oak barrels of varying sizes, and aged for six months. The result is a vibrant, fresh wine with distinct Mediterranean character, offering a perfect balance of richness and brightness that reflects the terroir of Bolgheri.

Wine Spectator -June 08, 2026 "Peach, lemon and Tuscan scrub aromas and flavors are the themes in this rich yet intense white. Almost creamy in texture, with lively acidity and a bitter citrus aftertaste."

Wine Enthusiast -February 15, 2024

James Suckling -June 16, 2026 "A reductive, vibrant and fragrant style, showing peach peel, lemon tree, Mirabelle plums and broom bush. Deep notes of wild fennel. Medium-bodied, silky and sleek with savory, leesy character, midpalate…

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2024

Bolgheri

February 19, 2026 - Bolgheri Rosso is a refined, irresistible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, serving as an introduction to the estate. The wine is, frankly, almost too good at the price. All the intensive artisanal work that Le Macchiole carries out in its vineyards and cellars benefits this wine, and despite more availability than its Paleo Rosso, Messorio and Scrio siblings, it sells out nearly as quickly. Bolgheri Rossi is also the youngest of Le Macchiole’s wines, first produced in 2004. The objective: to make a Bordeaux blend, but typical of Bolgheri.

Wine Spectator -October 31, 2026 "Plum, blackberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors ply the fluid texture of this lively red. Well-structured, showing both vivid acidity and dense tannins, yet everything is in balance, with a…

Wine Enthusiast -October 26, 2026 "A layered, intriguing nose opens earthy and graphitic, then turns juicy and fresh, and finally spicy and rich."

James Suckling -May 27, 2026 "Fresh and perfumed, showing roses, bramble fruit, horseradish and a touch of balsamic. Silky, supple and medium-bodied, with tension and firm structure."

Tommasi Amarone Classico 2021

Amarone Classico

February 19, 2026 - Tommasi’s Amarone Classico is a benchmark for the traditional style of this iconic wine, emphasizing elegance, balance, and earthy complexity over sheer weight. Grapes from top plots in the Valpolicella Classica zone are dried naturally until February, concentrating their flavors. Tommasi’s dedication to quality has made them a global ambassador for Amarone. The wine shows rich, dried red fruits layered with spice and a savory, earthy character, offering a classic, food-friendly expression that highlights the beauty of tradition.

Wine Spectator -August 31, 2026 "A harmonious red, quite elegant for an Amarone, with a refreshing plum skin tang that buoys flavors of plumped black cherry, dried fig, spiced orange peel, sweet tobacco and fresh…

Wine Enthusiast -March 31, 2026 "Pure talent needs no tricks. Fresh cherries dance with their dried cousins while coffee beans and turned leaves add quiet sophistication. The palate shows off years of experience, fine tannins…

James Suckling -February 25, 2026 "Overt and fruity with assertive raspberries, bay leaves and roasted black peppercorns. The full-bodied, supple palate is warming, showing crisp acidity and tight yet ripe tannins. A bit sticky in…

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2021

Abruzzo

February 19, 2026 - The Montepulciano Marina Cvetic is an intense, remarkable expression of one of Abruzzo’s historic vines. Sourced from eight of the estate’s top parcels, it shows the heights Montepulciano can achieve with richness, depth, and balance. While Villa Gemma is Masciarelli’s most famous Montepulciano, the only Italian wine to win the Tre Bicchieri award 14 times, many see Marina Cvetic as its equal in quality, differing only in style and often benefiting from a blend across varied altitudes and soils.

Wine Spectator -December 31, 2025 "Supple and graceful, this starts off slowly on the palate, but the fine mesh of crushed raspberry and chopped cherry fruit, dried rosemary, paprika, white pepper and tar quickly gains…

Vinous -May 08, 2025 "Mentholated herbs mix with balsamic spice and a core of dried black cherry as the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Marina Cvetic San Martino Rosso smolders up from the glass. It…

Champagne Ayala Brut Nature

Champagne

February 18, 2026 - Ayala’s Brut Nature is a zero-dosage Champagne that is aged for nearly four years. It reveals elegant complexity, with extended autolysis highlighting the exceptional quality of grapes from Champagne’s best crus. The blend features primarily Chardonnay, with Pinot Noir and a touch of Pinot Meunier for balance. Its bright gold color leads to a fine nose of citrus and subtle saline notes. On the palate, it is clean and complex, offering dry mineral flavors and vibrant grapefruit and white fruit, all while maintaining freshness and tension.

Wine Spectator -August 11, 2025 "A balanced, mineral-driven Champagne, showing a fine, lacy texture that softens the impact of the firm spine of acidity and carries flavors of poached apricot and white cherry, candied kumquat,…

Wine Spectator -December 31, 2015 "Focused on red grapes (40 percent pinot noir, 20 percent pinot meunier), this is a red-fruited Champagne with a brisk, stony scent. Presented without dosage, it bristles on the tongue,…

Vinous -January 31, 2015 "Pale gold. Nervy lime, ginger and floral scents, with suggestions of iodine and tarragon. Tightly wound, mineral-driven citrus fruit flavors put on weight with air and take a turn to…
