Red Wine

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

The Wine Enthusiast 94 Points | From a small 20-acre estate in the southern part of the prestigious Pauillac appellation, Bellegrave has produced a richly structured wine. Black-currant and toast aromas from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend give the wine richness and dense, concentrated black fruits.

James Suckling 94 Points | A nice smoky layer to the fresh blackcurrants, cedar and graphite. This shows the Pauillac structure and demureness with an appealing touch of dark, ashy fruit and a lead-pencil note. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with dusty, fine-grained tannins. Excellent length and verticality here. It will become even more resolved and long.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | This is a dark and sleek offering, with gently mulled black currant and blackberry fruit dusted with a cocoa note and gilded with violet and dried anise accents. A light kiss of singed cedar underscores the fresh finish.

Memo Summary Notes

The 2022 Chateau Bellegrave Pauillac is a standout vintage from this boutique 20-acre estate, which sits in a prestigious neighborhood between legendary neighbors like Chateau Latour and Lynch-Bages.

Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo — Abruzzo 2024 | 1.5L Magnum

Masciarelli is the benchmark producer of Abruzzo — the estate that put this rugged, sun-drenched region on the fine wine map. Founded by the late Gianni Masciarelli and now led by his wife Marina Cvetič, the domaine farms over 300 hectares across Abruzzo's finest hillside sites. Their estate Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the calling card of the house: a wine of remarkable depth and generosity at an honest price, and in Magnum format it is even better — slower to evolve, more expressive, and built to impress at the table.

The 2024 vintage delivered ideal growing conditions across Abruzzo — warm days, cool nights, and a dry harvest that concentrated the Montepulciano grape to its fullest. The result is a wine that is rich and ripe without being heavy: dark cherry fruit at the core, layered with spice, smoke, and a whisper of dried herbs. Fleshy and full on the palate, with surprising depth and a long, satisfying finish. Drink now through 2028, or cellar for a few more years to let the tannins fully integrate.

Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Winemaker Description

Palermo is Orin Swift's ode to the quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — a patchwork portrait of different vineyards, unique AVAs, and regional microclimates that is both classically Cabernet and unmistakably Orin Swift. Sourcing fruit from across the valley allows the team to produce lots of varying styles: dark and concentrated from the warmer areas of Napa, and more savory from the cooler sites. Once blended, they marry their strengths to showcase this incredible region.

The 2022 Palermo opens with a dark garnet core and brooding cardinal rim. The nose delivers crunchy cassis, muddled boysenberry, ripe elderberry, chaparral, and cedar. The palate continues many of the aromatics — cassis, blackberry, savory, and thyme — effuse with ripe dark fruits and complex savory tones, closing with long, soft tannin chains and hints of licorice, black pepper, and star anise.

The Wine Spectator 94 Points | Dynamic and precise, this features a core of steely acidity that frames expressive flavors of raspberry and guava, laced with crushed stone, forest floor and dusky spice notes that gather tension and richness toward fine-grained tannins.

94 James Suckling | The nose is pure and focused, showing aromas of redcurrants, wild raspberries and orange rind. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and acidity, giving notes of cherry, potpourri, struck match and forest floor. Tightly wound with years of aging ahead.

Winemaker Description 

Avni 2022 Pinot Noir is focused and flavorful, yet harmonious and balanced, with an overlying elegance and velvety mouthfeel. Red fruits dominate the flavor profile with some black cherry, spice, black tea, fresh herbs, and a hint of black cherry, tar and rose petal, finishing with a round texture.

It is versatile, pairing well with hot smoked salmon and roasted poultry, even grilled meats.

Winemaker Description 

Color of intense dark cherry with a violet edge. Intense nose, dominated by ripe red fruits, raspberry, currant, together with balsamic and mineral notes.
Powerful in the mouth, full-bodied, pleasantly tannic and fruity with a light spice on the finish. A beautiful crowd-pleaser.

Memo Summary Notes

Hails from the high-altitude, slate-heavy soils of Calatayud. While the Monastrell is known for being dark and "meaty," this Garnacha is celebrated for its high-toned fruit and floral elegance.

True to the Gil Family style, this wine remains certified organic and vegan, offering extreme value for an "old-vine" red.

Producer Notes

The Chianti Classico Riserva is central to Badia a Coltibuono’s vision and its deep relationship with place and history. Using the traditional blend of Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo — propagated by massal selection — has always been the backbone of the wine. Modern techniques such as gravity vinification bring forth the best expression of the fruit, while traditional approaches — indigenous yeast fermentation and aging in oak casks rather than barriques — are central to its authenticity. The winery’s long-established certified organic practices are fundamental to the truly unique character of the grapes.

Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo.
