Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Marlborough
May 07, 2025 - Dog Point Chardonnay is one of New Zealand’s most expressive and distinctive white wines. Sourced from low-yielding, hand-tended vines in the Wairau Valley and crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the site’s character with clarity and intensity. A reductive, flinty edge meets layered fruit and leesy complexity, creating a taut, mineral-driven wine with serious structure and precision. As with all Dog Point wines, it’s a national benchmark—an unfiltered, uncompromising Chardonnay with Burgundian depth and unmistakable Marlborough identity.
Wine Advocate - December 20, 2024 "The 2021 Chardonnay leads with preserved lemon on the nose along with freshly picked curry leaf, white peach and spring blossoms. In the mouth, the wine is elegant and layered,…
Wine Enthusiast - January 25, 2024 "Subtle struck match and grilled nut aromas perch just above the lemon and toast aromas without overpowering them; a salty, seashell vibe is present, too. There's vibrant, citrusy acidity on…

Tenuta CastelGiocondo Ripe al Convento Brunello Riserva 2019
Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG
March 27, 2025 - Ripe al Convento’s name signifies both the ripeness that the Sangiovese grapes are able to achieve and the almost sacred single-vineyard site where they are grown. Sitting on the highest hills of the CastelGiocondo estate at 450 meters above sea level, this small single vineyard is exposed to the warm afternoon sun, marly soils and bracing Mediterranean winds. Aged an extra year in wood, Ripe al Convento is not only a reserve wine by law–it is the ultimate expression of the estate.
Wine Spectator - March 26, 2025 “Cherry, raspberry, plum and floral aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this silky yet solidly built red. Comes together nicely on the persistent aftertaste, where mineral and wild herb…
James Suckling - December 09, 2024 "A bright, fruity wine with intoxicating, pristine and ripe red cherries as well as camphor notes enhanced by a floral bouquet. Solid on the attack. Full-bodied, showing lush, supple fruit,…
Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 2021
Toscana IGT
March 26, 2025 - Paleo Rosso has been called Italy's landmark expression of Cabernet Franc. It is named for a type of local wild grass, which once covered the land where its vines are now planted. Originally a blend of several different varieties, the wine has been made from 100% Cabernet Franc since 2001, and was the first mono varietal Cabernet Franc to be produced in Bolgheri. The grapes come from several vineyards on the estate, including Vignone, Madonnina, Puntone and Casa Nuova. Each vineyard is picked separately, and fruit from the same vineyard is often picked more than once at different stages of maturity, resulting in about 20 different pickings.
James Suckling - July 22, 2024 "Wow. This is very polished and sophisticated with currant, spice, fresh-herb and cedar character that goes on for minutes on the finish. The tannins are so refined yet muscular, with…
