The Mistral Chardonnay 2017
From Lodi, California
Expertly crafted and aged for 6 months in French Oak barrels. Full-bodied and deliciously dry, it features exquisite richness and pronounced ripe tropical fruit notes. It has a smooth, creamy body and a long, citrus finish. Excellent with fish, mussels and clams, and with soft cheese.
Liberty Calpinot Shiner 2017
From Mendocino County, California
A medium ruby hue, this Pinot Noir is silky, fresh and bursting with notes of ripe cherry, strawberry, blueberry and vanilla. In the mouth, it is round and mouthwatering.
The finish is well-balanced combination of vanilla and fuit flavours from the oak aging, culminating in a clean, lasting finish. Barrel-aged for 12 months in French Oak.
Chateau d’Aydie Madiran L’origine 2017
A clear, brilliant, deep red. Complex on the nose with aromas of fruits (blackberry, cherry), floral hints (violet) and spice (pepper, vanilla). Full and pleasant on the palate, revealing rounded tannins. A full, rich wine with very fruity finish. Great with meals from beginning to end: roasted poultry, couscous, spaghetti, and sweet-&-sour duck breast.

Ode D’aydie – Madiran 2017
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”

Clos des Nines L’Oree 2016/17
Rivolta Aglianico Del Taburno 2017
100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”

Le Cecche Fiammingo 2017
Mas Gabinele Faugeres 2017
Syrah 40 %, Grenache 30 %, Carignan 30%
Lovely deep red colour, dark even. Black fruit nose, almost all black fruits: cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, cooked blueberry and damsons. Toasted spelt loaf aromas, Havana cigar and cocoa beans (crushed naturally). Full-bodied mouth-feel, firm and already nicely integrated despite the powerful tannins. Serve with risotto with porcini mushrooms.
Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis 2016/17
"Lurid ruby. A suave, spice-accented bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits and incense, and a smoky mineral flourish adds urgency and lift. Chewy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering densely packed black raspberry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors that open up slowly with aeration. Shows very good heft, but there's distinct elegance here as well. Closes sappy, youthfully tannic and extremely long, leaving a sexy floral note behind." - 94 Pts. Vinous (2017 Vintage), October 2019
Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino 2017
100% Sangiovese
92 Points Vinous: “Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine”.
