Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

James Suckling 92 Points | Restrained and ambitiously structured, showing some roasted coffee beans, pine cones and sweet spices to the rich blackberries and cherries. Juicy and chewy on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a tight, lengthy finish. Drink from 2025.

Decanter 91 Points | Plummy fruit on the nose, with smoky bacon fat nuances and jammy fruit notes. Powerful and textural, long and pleasant.

Expert Reviews - VIntage 2022 

A deep ruby/magenta color, the 2022 Il Pino Di Biserno starts to show more mineral-inflected notes of graphite, preserved strawberries, blackberries, cocoa, and sweet herbs. Full-bodied, the palate expands with ripe tannins, even acidity, and darker mineral undercurrents, as well as a hint of gamey richness and notes of tea leaf through the mid-palate and rather long finish. Hold this one another couple of years and drink 2027-2040.: Audrey Frick - Jeb Dunnuck - 94 Points

A cedary twist to the typical notes of black olives, tobacco, paprika and black fruit. Medium- to full-bodied with prominent, fine-grained tannins and fruit. Long, demure and tight. Needs at least one more year to soften and open up. Drink from 2026."  Zekun Shuai - James-Suckling - 94 Points

The Tenuta di Biserno 2022 Il Pino di Biserno delivers a ripe fruit profile with blackberry confit and sweet cherry pie. Those warm vintage tones are followed by an ample use of oak that adds baking spice and toasted nutmeg. There is a hint of campfire ash or something blackened or toasted at the core of this full-bodied Tuscan blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot. I pick up a note of dryness on the otherwise velvety tannins. Monica Larner - The Wine Advocate - 92 Points

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

James Suckling 96 Points | A full-bodied and expressive malbec with 5% cabernet sauvignon. Minerals, black cherries and cool blue fruit. A touch of cocoa powder, but there is nothing plush. Concentrated but austere, with tons of juicy fruit and dusty tannins treading into a long, bright finish. Fermented in concrete and aged 24 months in foudres. Drink or hold. 

The Wine Advocate 94 Points | Sourced from Altamira and Gualtallary, the 2021 José Zuccardi is 95% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented in concrete before maturing two years in foudre. It is an homage to Sebastián's father, aiming to evoke the historic wines of Argentina—as Sebastián says, "not the 1990s or 2000s, but the 1940s or 1950s." It leads with an inviting, focused nose of black fruits and balsamic accents, introducing a creamy, svelte and taut palate. It concludes with a seamless, refined and elegantly decadent finish. It is a perfect marriage of classically informed richness and contemporary precision.

Tim Atkin 94 Points | Named after Sebastián Zuccardi’s father, José, this is an assemblage of Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary and Paraje Altamira. Aged in large wooden foudres that have a negligible impact in terms of flavour, but do soften the wine’s structure, it’s dark, brooding and intensely coloured, with savoury tannins, damson and bramble flavours, bright acidity and a mountain herb top note. 

Memo Pairing Suggestion

Food Pairings: Pairs excellently with traditional Argentine asado, porterhouse steak, grilled veal chops, or rich mushroom-based dishes.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Vinous 92 Points | The 2020 Cantos de Valpiedra is 100% Tempranillo sourced from a single vineyard on the Ebro riverbank, in the Cenicero area of Rioja Alta. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet wine with a purple sheen presents aromas of sour cherry, sweet cherry and fresh plums over an herbal bed. On the palate, it is dry and taut, with a young mouthfeel offering a granular and reactive texture. Pure in flavors, I anticipate it will settle and evolve with time.

The Wine Advocate 91 Points | The aromatic, fruit-driven and juicy 2020 Cantos de Valpiedra is velvety, clean and modern, with a balanced and tasty palate, contained ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and good freshness. It matured in new barrels for 12 months in the style of a modern Crianza. With time in the glass, it develops an acute note of licorice.

James Suckling 91 Points | A juicy Rioja with vibrant spiced cherries, red plums and stones. Succulent and firm, with fresh and fine-boned tannins and a juicy, exuberant finish. Very well made.

Winemaker Description

Cantos de Valpiedra, made entirely of Tempranillo harvested in mid-September, is fermented in stainless steel tanks with a 16-day maceration, before aging for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. It is a rich, round example of this famous Spanish style. In Finca Valpiedra the soil type is formed by a layer of pebble stones and limestone that give its name to the wines.

VINIFICATION: Fermentation in stainless steel temperature-controlled vats. 16 days maceration.

AGEING: 12 months in French and American barrel.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018

The Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | This dark ruby-colored wine offers aromas of Luxardo cherry and toasted baking spices. It is very spicy at first sip as flavors of clove and mint leaf with a touch of black pepper hit the taste buds, followed by blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors. Muscular tannins are balanced out by well-integrated acidity that stays around for a while. 

James Suckling 92 Points | Juicy and expressive Rioja with some dark spices, black earth and a hint of peppercorn to the cherries and plums. Fresh and bright on the palate with a medium body rounded by fine-grained tannins. Succulent and long. Consistent quality. The first year that there is some maturana in the blend. Drink now, but can hold well, too.

Memo Summary Notes

Food Pairings: Highly versatile. Pairs perfectly with grilled meats, roasted lamb, hearty stews, mushrooms, cured ham (Jamón Ibérico), and medium-aged cheeses.

Expert Review - Vintage 2020

The Wine Enthusiast by Jesica Vargas writes 91 Points | This medium-bodied red offers sweet red-fruit aromas and hints of chalk. The palate displays honest black fruit and red cherry followed by a light note of spice that lingers through the persistent finish. It has a mineral texture and vibrant acidity typical of the Gualtallary sub-region in the Uco Valley. 

Vinous 91 Points | The 2020 Malbec Poligonos Del Valle De Uco Gualtallary was aged in concrete. A dark, bright purple in hue. The liqueur-inflected nose offers ripe notes of plum and blackberry with subtle hints of violet. Compact in the mouth with good freshness, the young, reactive tannins and trace of chalk keep things tight, lending the wine a rugged character with sustained flavor.

Memo Summary Notes

    •    Style: A "Village Wine" (Vino de Pueblo) focused on pure terroir expression.
    •    Fermentation: Fermented with indigenous (wild) yeasts in epoxy-free concrete vats; approximately 30–50% whole clusters are used.
    •    Aging: Matured exclusively in concrete vats to preserve the wine's mineral identity and fresh fruit character (unoaked style).
    •    Food Pairings: Complements grilled red meats (classic Argentine Asado), beef milanesa, roasted venison, and hearty mushroom-based dishes.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 90 Points | Raspberries, oranges, licorice and red plums on the nose of this fresh and bright red. It’s medium-bodied, juicy and fruity. Drink now.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

James Suckling 97 Points | This shows a lot of class, with aromas of blackcurrants, graphite, blueberries, dried flowers, black truffles and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with seamless tannins that goes on and on. Endless. Blackcurrants, dark mushrooms and violets with hints of fresh rose stems and light herbs. Velvety texture. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points | The 2021 Napanook is one heck of a Napanook, offering complex notes of currants, cassis, graphite, leafy tobacco, lead pencil, and chocolate. Incredible on the palate, it s full-bodied and round, with supple, vibrant, incredible tannins. This is easily the finest vintage I've tasted of this cuv e and it s the equivalent of many a Grand Vin from other producers.

The Wine Advocate 94 Points | Certainly the best Napanook bottling I can recall, the 2021 Napanook is a 3,000-case blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Boasting harmonious aromas of raspberries, red and black cherries, cinnamon, clove and dusty earth notes, this full-bodied wine tips the scales at a declared 15% alcohol, yet it shows no detectable heat. It is full-bodied, intense, rich and velvety, with hints of black tea on the long finish. Matured in 20% new French oak, it stands out for its lush mouthfeel and savory complexity.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Bright and fresh, with a streak of tobacco enlivening the core of cherry and red currant preserve flavors. A subtle accent of singed cedar runs along the edges, giving this a reserved feel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2036. 3,000 cases made.

Memo Pairing Suggestions

Food Pairings: Pairs excellently with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, or aged hard cheeses.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022 

The Tasting Panel 92 Points | Quintessential aromas of ripe berries and plum are joined by vanilla and peppercorn in this textbook Zin grown on the most southerly estate vineyard in Paso Robles 14 miles from the Pacific. The result is a red of effusive energy and real charm that's fruit-forward enough to sip on its own yet has sufficient spice and structure to stand up to grilled meats.

The Wine Spectator 89 Points | Snappy and briary, with user-friendly raspberry and green peppercorn flavors that end with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2030. 4,008 cases made.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Vinous 92 Points | The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigneto Sant'Eusanio is spicy and intense, with a vivid blend of black raspberries and cloves offset by worn leather and dusty earth. It floods the palate with silken textures and ripe red and blue fruits underscored by saline minerals and saturation of exotic spice. Gently tannic and dramatically long, this finishes with outstanding clarity and freshness while boasting a structure that will support cellaring.

James Suckling 92 Points | Aromas of well-ripened red fruit and berries, sage, rosemary and clove. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Juicy and fresh with good clarity and transparency. Succulent finish. Drink now.

Winemaker Description 

The wine name Vigneto Sant'Eusanio means “Vineyard Saint Eusanio,” named after the vineyard itself, like all cru wines made by Valle Reale. It honors Eusanio, a Christian martyr from the 4th century.

In 1999, the Pizzolo Family set out to restore an old Montepulciano d’Abruzzo vineyard on their property. Their deep respect for the land, rooted in generations of farming tradition, led them to an extensive study of the grape’s origins. Years of careful observation and experimentation culminated in 2007, when they committed fully to their passion: producing wines using only indigenous yeasts, embracing the unpredictability of spontaneous fermentation. They refined their approach with the pied de cuveé technique, guided by the expertise of winemaker Enrico Antonioli, trained in Burgundy.

Their dedication to natural winemaking allows the rich biodiversity of Valle Reale’s pristine environment to shine through in each bottle. Vigneto Sant’Eusanio is also Kosher-certified (though not Mevushal).

Memo Summary Notes

The Valle Reale "Vigneto Sant'Eusanio" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2020 is a unique, high-altitude expression of Montepulciano that stands out for both its winemaking philosophy and its rare kosher certification for a "cru" Italian wine.

Unlike the heavy, oaky style often associated with the region, this is a "mountain wine"—leaner, high in acidity, and stylistically closer to a Pinot Noir or a cool-climate Syrah.

Its high acidity makes it incredibly versatile. Pairs beautifully with lean red meats, roasted duck, mushroom-based pasta, or eggplant Parmesan. It is also excellent with traditional dishes like slow-cooked brisket.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | A fine, beautifully crafted wine with ripe tannins and jammy red fruits. With its red berry aroma and its juicy acidity, it is developing well. Drink from 2026.

Winemaker Description 

Ruby red in color. This wine displays aromas of ripe red fruit and dried herbs. It is soft and robust with complex tannins. On the palate, the wine is spicy with a long finish.

This hand-crafted wine is a blend of native Alentejo grapes Trincadeira and Aragonez plus a touch of Syrah for added body. The fruit is sourced from 1,000 ft high schist and limestone vineyards surrounding the J Portugal Ramos Vila Santa winery. Unoaked, it is fresh and fruity while maintaining a plush mouthfeel.

Pair with sausage and peppers, herb-roasted lamb, or beef stew. 

Winemaker Description 

"Locos por el Vino” is a new project from Bodegas Alto Moncayo, aiming to expand their range with high-quality, modern and casual wines produced from the winery’s youngest vineyards, guaranteeing the continuity of the Alto Moncayo project for future generations to come. A local term used in the village of Borja, "Zismero" refers to one who is provocative, jovial, and mirthful, with a complexity and uniqueness that makes its audience think deeply from the pointed jocularity.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

James Suckling 93 Points | Toasted pecan, baked blackberry and cardamom aromas make for a soothing nose on this bottling. The palate is toasty as well, with espresso bean, blackberry and pepper flavors. Winemaker Description  Bodyguard is an innovative blend of predominately Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah.

Winemaker Description 

The 2022 vintage boasts a deep garnet hue with aromas of ripe plum, berry compote, blackberry and clove, underlain by hints of pine, cedar and vanilla. Juicy, velvety textures expand with layers of mixed berry flavors. A medium-bodied mouthfeel finishes with bright, silky tannins. 66% Petit Verdot, 28% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

Stuart Pigott JamesSuckling.com writes 93 Points | Very cool, delicate and restrained, this Fleurie is barely medium-bodied but has quite a firm tannic core and plenty of wet-stone minerality. The red berry fruit is still a bit closed, so you need some patience. Very good structure in the long finish. From organically grown grapes. From approximately 40-year-old vines. Matured in large neutral oak foudre barrels and smaller barrels that are at least five years old. Drink from 2027. 

Kenna Wells of The Wine Advocate 91+ Points  | The 2023 Fleurie Clos de la Grand'Cour, sourced from "young" vines up to 50 years old, bursts with juicy red fruits—strawberries and cherries—layered with orange peel, hibiscus and a touch of brown spice. On the palate, enveloping tannins provide structure and guide a long, steady progression. A delicate thread of graphite-like salinity emerges on the mid-palate, harmonizing with the wine's fleshy fruit. Yet it is the vibrant, expressive flavors that take center stage, culminating in a bold, fruit-driven finish. With its refined architecture and impressive depth, this wine promises great aging potential. Drink: 2026-2035. 

Neal Martin of Vinous 91 Points  | The 2023 Fleurie Clos de la Grand Cour comes from vines that encircle the estate that are mostly 40-50-years-old. It has a fresh, marine-tinged bouquet with just a hint of oyster shell in the background. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, with gentle grip, lithe tannins, and touches of orange pith and marmalade toward the finish. Give this a year in bottle. Drink: 2026-2036. 

Winemaker Notes

#13 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Expert Reviews

96 James Suckling: The aromas of blackcurrants and dried flowers with fresh herbs like basil and rosemary are extremely attractive. Medium- to full-bodied, this has firm and velvety tannins with a tension and focus that I have not seen for a while. Long and chewy finish.

96 Wine Spectator: This delivers an energetic tumble of blackberry, boysenberry and black currant paste flavors injected with bramble and apple wood and supported by a licorice snap accent. The strapping finish is laced with violet and iris notes, while a cast iron edge lends bass. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2045.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Antonio Galloni of Vinous writes 95 Points | The 2022 Echezeaux Grand Cru is absolutely exquisite, not to mention a significant step up in the range. Impossibly silky tannins and deep, penetrating aromatics give the Echezeaux its seductive personality. Medium in body and polished, with phenomenal balance, the Echezeaux shows how compelling the vintage is. There is no heaviness at all, nor any sign of a growing season marked by severe heat and drought.

Winemaker Description 

With a more textured and intense character than Échezeaux, Grands-Échezeaux presents a rich, almost rustic profile. The wine offers a concentrated palate of dark fruits, with gamey nuances and bramble hints, wrapped in a structured yet velvety texture. It's a wine of depth and character, often described as having a "monastic" quality. It is “Grands” before being Échézeaux. It is a country gentleman, aristocrat and dreamer. 

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 98 Points | The iodine, blackberry and rose-stem character comes through clearly. Plenty of fruit and depth. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that caress the palate and provide endless flavors of Indian spices, flint, nutmeg and light crust. Such refinement and integrity. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years.

The Wine Advocate 93 Points | The 2023 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches (Domaine) is showing nicely, bursting with aromas of sweet berries, spices, orange zest and new oak. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and lively, with chalky grip on the finish, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Decanter 93 Points | Lovely cherry fruit with hints of lavender and rosemary. The texture is silky and dense, almost fat. There is more clay here, and less limestone than in Les Cras, and the tannic structure is not as firm. The grapes are from Drouhin's massive 6.75ha here, not far from Pommard; they are partially destemmed and fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (25% new) for 14–18 months.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points by Elaine Chukan Brown | Juicy, fresh and mouthwatering, this flavorful and friendly red delivers flavors of red plum, mixed berries, fennel, and a touch of sweet vanilla. 

Winemaker Description 

Alta Alella is the closest winery to Barcelona, located 2 kilometres from the Mediterranean between the towns of Alella and Tiana. It is a family-run project that began in 1991 with Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets and his wife Cristina Guillen. Now the estate is headed up by their daughter, Mireia.

Alella is one of the smallest appellations in Spain yet it possesses a fascinating terroirs that the Alta Alella team have harnessed in their journey to being recognised as the premier estate in the region. All the vines are planted on slopes and terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, between 100 and 250m above sea level. One of the key elements is the Sauló soil found throughout the vineyard.

Particular to this region, Sauló is an acidic and sandy soil with a low limestone content, low organic matter and good natural water drainage – ideal for the production of clean wines with a mineral edge.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Vinous 97 Points by Antonio Galloni | The 2020 Cantenac Brown is a knock-out. A Margaux of towering intensity, the 2020 is dense and vertical at the same time. It’s a combination that works so well. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves all saturate the palate. There's real depth and concentration here from the summer heat and small size of the berries, but at the same time the 2020 has more freshness and energy than some recent years. There have been quite a few changes here in recent years, starting with a new parcel on the Margaux plateau that entered the blend in 2019 and move towards lower toast levels in the barrels. Cantenac Brown remains a potent, opulent Margaux, but 2020 has a measure of classicism as well. Superb. 

Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points | The 2020 Château Cantenac Brown showed beautifully and is a serious, concentrated, powerful Margaux that's going to need bottle age. Ripe blackcurrants, toasty oak, ripe tobacco, and dried flower notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It shows the more focused, slightly understated style of the vintage, yet everything is in the right place, it has terrific purity, and it’s just a brilliant Margaux. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it never put a foot wrong. It will hit its prime drinking window in 7-8 years and evolve for two decades.

The Wine Enthusiast 95 Points | From its magnificent chateau, this estate is powering ahead. The wine is full of dark chocolate flavors and concentrated tannins. A richly structured wine, there is good potential. Drink from 2029.

James Suckling 95 Points | Plenty of blackberry, spice, iron and crushed lead pencil aromas follow through to a full body with chewy, velvety tannins and a rather cool side to it. Crushed stone and slate undertones. 

The Wine Advocate 94+ Points  A fine follow-up to the excellent 2019, the 2020 Cantenac Brown incorporates newly acquired holdings of Cabernet Sauvignon from the plateau of Margaux. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis, burning embers and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with good depth at the core, supple tannins and terrific purity of fruit. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, it underlines the fact that this is the appellation's fastest-improving estate.

The Wine Spectator 94 Points | Ripe, rounded and suave in feel, with alluring waves of cassis and dark cherry reduction laced with sandalwood, black tea and violet notes. Broad, velvety and perfumed through the finish, with a subtle sanguine hint echoing late. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Decanter 94 Points | Juicy, succulent and supple, this has lovely bright energy and impact straight away. Tannins are on the chalky mineral side, mouthcoating, but with a salty tang so they don't appear too ripe, heavy or rustic, but give width and structure. Feels quite powerful, with an underlying concentration and a tight clove and cedar tang to the tannins. Energetic, definitely more bright and pulsing right now. Purity of fruit is there, as is the acidity.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

JAMES SUCKLING 98 POINTS: Enormously deep and concentrated, but this is so subtle and defies easy description. The superfine tannins give this an incredibly fine texture, the richness building in the finish without adding anything to the impression of weight. From three old-vine grenache vineyards that have limestone, sand and galet soils. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

JEB DUNNUCK 97 POINTS: Black raspberries, ground pepper, white pepper, and sappy floral notes all make an appearance in the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Colombis, another remarkable wine from this family. With medium to full-bodied richness, it's incredibly well-balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. As with the estate’s other cuvées, it reminds me of their 2020. As usual, this cuvée is 100% Grenache that’s from a mix of three parcels (Rayas, Les Roues, and Colombis). It was not destemmed and was brought up in a mix of concrete, foudre, and clay jars.

VINOUS 96 POINTS: The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Colombis is magnificent, bursting from the glass with prominent rose petal, crushed violets, strawberry compote, spicy licorice, dried herbs and minty shadings. Enveloped in velvety tannins, the perfumed 2023 is shaping up to be a wildly alluring Colombis, closing with a subtle phenolic kick on the focused finish. I can’t wait to taste it from bottle.

THE WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS: A pure Grenache Noir planted in the north part of the appellation and vinified with 30% whole bunches, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Colombis has turned out beautifully. Evoking aromas of rose, dark cherries, spices and dark berries, it’s medium- to full-bodied, seamless and satiny with a beautifully ethereal finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Vinous 100 Points | The 2022 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is a real head-turner. What a wine! As is so often the case, Romanée St. Vivant is not an obvious wine, rather it is a Burgundy of detail, of understatement, of total class. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, mint, white pepper, blood orange and exotic spice.

Decanter 97 Points | The Romanée-St-Vivant has developed more complexity since bottling, with a savoury, almost gamey edge to the lush berry fruit aromas and a hint of spice. The grip and freshness of the wine are impressive and seem to carry this wine to a new level of intensity. Although this wine had originally seemed ethereal and silky, the substantial nature of the structure is now evident, aided perhaps by the stricter selection. Bertrand de Villaine confirms that two parcels in this vineyard were pulled up due to issues with the rootstock, leaving them 23,699 bottles in 2022.

The Wine Spectator 97 Points | Shy, suggesting cherry, strawberry and spice flavors. Nonetheless, there is plenty of structure and length.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Decanter 100 Points | The 2022 La Tâche was very impressive out of barrel; still, at the time I preferred the Romanée-Conti. I am less certain of this judgement when tasting the wines in bottle. Admittedly it is splitting hairs, but to judge what they show today, the exquisite La Tâche may have edged ahead of even the Romanée-Conti at present. It is a serious wine, substantial and structured; less open than the Richebourg and showing more savoury and spice notes than overt primary fruit, yet it is a wine that is unbelievably dense with flavour and long on the finish. 

The Wine Advocate 98 Points | The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru is the most complex and compelling wine in the range at this early stage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with rose petals, orange zest, exotic spices, incense and wintergreen, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with a deep and pure core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, gently oak-inflected finish. It was harvested the fourth through the sixth of September, just after the Grands-Échézeaux, and bottled in March 2024.

The Wine Spectator by Bruce Sanderson 95-98 Points Barrel Sample | La Tâche exudes black cherry and licorice aromas and flavors, an altogether darker, meatier profile with greater concentration. Nonetheless, it is also refined, with a lingering aftertaste suggesting sandalwood.

Expert Review -Vintage 2020

Falstaff 92 Points | Bright, radiant ruby red. Elegant nose, reminiscent of cut flowers, raspberry and some paprika powder. Delicate, youthful on the palate, with a pleasant acidity. The finish is long and mineral. Clean mouthfeel. 

Expert Review - Vintage 2023 

Jasper Morris 93 Points | An attractive mid crimson colour. A fine fresh bouquet, elegant fruit, not too demonstrative, but with a graceful detailed red fruit, alpine strawberry and little raspberry notes. Very nicely put together, all about the fruit more than the structure. Drink from 2030-2037.

Winemaker Description 

Supreme elegance! Beautiful color, with intense and bright reflections. The diversity of the aromas is striking: wild cherry, nutmeg, camphor wood, fine leather... Later on, the wine takes on a subtle aroma of truffle, producing the most varied palette. With its perfect balance between tannin and acidity, the wine has a fleshy, sturdy body. Powerful and long aftertaste. A wealth of harmonious sensations characterizes this great Burgundy.

Expert Reviews

93 Points Wine Enthusiast: The kind of acidity that raises goose bumps on arms fuels a lively wine packing oodles of tart red cherries and boysenberries, along with flavors of espresso and sea salt. The aromas are equally captivating, as black cherries, glove leather and violets fill the air with each glass swirl. Try it with a bacon sandwich.

James Suckling writes: More mineral and reserved with aromas of cherry stones, blackberries, iron, dark raspberries, tea leaves and dried violets. Firm, focused and deep, with a medium body and tight-knit tannins. Mineral and tight at the moment. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2024.

95 Points Rober Parker Wine Advocate: The 2021 Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir has broody aromas of pomegranate, black cherry, iodine, forest floor and amaro. Despite its concentrated, floral flavors, it has an elegant structure of silky tannins and vibrant acidity and a very long, nuanced finish.

94 Points Decanter: Charming aromatics of violets and spice. 300-500ft elevation and marine sedimentary soils. 40-year-old vines are own-rooted and planted in 1981. The Résonance vineyard was acquired in 2013, 20 acres, with tangy blackberries and cranberries that meld with blood oranges and spice. Smoky mint notes lift clove and Chinese five spice. 70% Pommard, 15% Dijon and 15% wadenswil. The original blocks are the heart of this wine. The density of fruit comes from marine soils, 100% destemmed with extended maceration, native yeasts and no pump overs. 3-4 week maceration. Lees are removed after malo, and the wines are aged 18 months in oak. Fruit complements the tension and mineral core of the wine. The three clonal selections help craft the wine, Wadenswil brings structure, Dijon the elegance and black fruit.

Winemaker Description 

This Estate-Grown Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is the signature expression of our Résonance Vineyard. Sourced from 20 acres of organically dry-farmed Pinot noir on south-facing slopes in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, these vines benefit from some of the choicest vineyard land in Oregon wine country. Uniquely ungrafted (retaining their original rootstock) clonal selections of Pommard, Dijon 777, and Wädenswil directly translate the terroir of the ancient basaltic sedimentary soil. Our Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals the immense character, the “somewhereness”, of this historic property.

This wine is a blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 20% Syrah. The nose on this wine starts ripe, it is riper than its younger 2019 brother, the Cuvee Samuel. The blend is different as well, and there is much more oak on the Marco. The nose on this wine is ripe, it feels like a Cali Rhone wine more than how the 19 Samuel felt, with black and blue fruit, sweet oak, soy sauce, ripe plum, floral notes, dark and brooding, with roasted animal, and loam. The mouth on this full-bodied wine is ripe, balanced, with good acidity, blackcurrant, blackberry, boysenberry, nice draping tannin, sweet oak, loam, and black tea. The finish on this wine is ripe, with dense black fruit, loam, mushroom, graphite, milk chocolate, and nice smoke. 

40% Grenache Noir 30% Mourvedre 30% Syrah)- Aged in 3-4 yr old barrels for 12 months-

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points | A bright red hue, the 2021 Barolo Riva Del Bric is elegant and lifted with pretty, layered aromas of ripe cranberries, fresh roses, dried earth, and brambly fresh herbs. Medium-bodied and linear, it floats on the palate with fine tannins, a refreshing spine of acidity, and elegant notes of salted orange citrus on the finish. It's a beautifully detailed Barolo to enjoy now or over the coming 12-15 years and is even a step up from my last tasting of the 2019 vintage.

The Wine Advocate 94 Points | The Paolo Conterno 2021 Barolo Riva del Bric has a bright bouquet with pretty clarity and purity of aromas. You taste the wine's Nebbiolo character with wild berry, dark currant and blue flower. This wine is also recognized by a hint of something metallic or sanguine like rusty nail or shaved pencil. This site sits at a cool 300 to 350 meters in elevation, and the vines are 25 years old. The wine ages in botte grande for 36 months, and 20,000 bottles were made.

James Suckling 93 Points | An intense and vibrant Barolo with aromas of dried flowers, blood orange peel, sweet violets, earth, minerals and overall elegance. Full-bodied on the palate, it shows velvety and dusty tannins, refreshing acidity and a long, juicy finish that's stern yet balanced. Try after 2025.

Jancis Robinson 17/20 Points | Pale ruby. Deep, exotic spice and ripe red-cherry-fruit nose with a hint of cinnamon bark. Super-attractive juicy cherry-fruit palate with cinnamon touches and long, finely ground tannins. Hedonistic.

La Valentina's Bellovedere is the winery's highest expression of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. It is a single-vineyard wine from the subzone of Terre dei Vestini, in the rolling hills near the Abruzzo coast and the city of Pescara. The Bellovedere is intended to demonstrate the great possibilities of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and as such the wine is produced only in the years with great weather conditions and fully mature grapes. The Bellovedere vineyard takes its name from a park in the center of Spoltore with a view of the vineyards and the ridgeline of the Gran Sasso peaks behind, as shown on the label.

Vinous 98 Points | Is it possible to create a wine with structure but without weight? The 2021 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Gualtallary offers a remarkable answer to that apparent paradox, finding the solution in a balanced combination of terroir and careful cellar work. It's almost utopian—a mountain wine with the structure and character of high-altitude vineyards, yet with the agility and freshness of an oceanic red. Purple in hue, it opens with blackberry and plum, layered with mountain herbs, a hint of sour cherry, cassis and floral tones of violet and lavender. Dry and juicy, with a slightly compact feel, the wine glides across the palate with weightless grace, supported by fine, chalky tannins. This wine is a triumph.

James Suckling 90 Points | Ripe black cherries, dark plums, mocha and a hint of toasted almonds on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied and quite tight, yet smooth in texture. Polished finish with hints of cocoa and subtle spice.

James Suckling 92 Points | Very fruity and generous, bursting with cherries, blackberries and raspberries on the nose, and creamy blueberries and strawberries on the palate. Toast, cedar and savory nuances come out with more sips. Full-bodied, long and rich. Rather soft tannins. Drink or hold.

The Wine Advocate 97 Points | The 2020 Aluvional Gualtallary is more floral and expressive, a little more exuberant than the 2019 I tasted next to it. In 2020, they harvested some 10 days earlier than in 2019 (they started in February!), and the wines finished with similar alcohol levels (14%) and even with a slightly lower pH and higher acidity in 2020, so with very good freshness. They fermented with some 30% to 50% of stems in the vinification (they use grapes from three different vineyards that are vinified separately, all in the Monasterio part of Gualtallary) and matured the wine in concrete. This is very young, and the palate reveals the inner notes of thyme and rockrose, the violets and the small berries. The texture is akin to liquid chalk, a mineral and austere wine, with very fine tannins and a long, dry finish.

James Suckling 91 Points | A supple, deeply fruity wine that’s generous in blueberry, milk chocolate and black cherry flavors on a full body. Mild tannins keep the texture smooth and easy in this Bordeaux-style red blend that is dominated by cabernet sauvignon.
