We were impressed by La Posta’s Pizzella Malbec from the very first. Past vintages have been superb, but we think this month’s feature, the 2017 La Posta Pizzella Family Malbec, is even better than its predecessors. Apparently, we are not alone; the 2017 La Posta Pizzella Malbec made James Suckling’s 100 Best Wines Under $30.00, and garnered a 93 point rating. Sporting a rich purple color and plenty of rich berry aromas, our tasting panel...

The 2018 Garofoli Serra del Conte Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico typifies the finer Verdicchios of Castelli di Jesi with its crystalline green hue, fresh aromatics, and delicious minerality. No butter, no oak, no tropical fruit flavors to be found in this wine. Verdicchio is the antithesis of big boned buttery California Chardonnay. Instead, enjoy the clean scents of lemon, lime, and a splash of sea spray in this wine along with...

A purple potion made in the style of Italy’s renowned ripassos, which are passed a second time over the Veneto’s legendary Amarones, the 2014 Nugan Estate Alfredo Second Pass Shiraz (which has achieved 91 points from Antonio Galloni’s Vinous) not only sports a deep, inviting color, it trumps many of Italy’s more renowned ripassos in both aroma and concentration. With only a few minutes of aeration, Nugan’s Alfredo Second Pass Shiraz offers up...

Casas del Bosque continues its “hot hand” with its premier Chardonnay offering, the 2017 Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva. Born in Chile’s cool Casablanca Valley, this recently released Gran Reserva Chardonnay offers a striking pale straw color and plenty to admire in both aroma and flavor. The nose provides an enticing cornucopia of tropical fruits, quince, vanilla and spice. In the mouth, the wine enlivens the palate with bright, creamy fruit...

We have admired Alessandro Sderci’s wines for many years, but never have we been more enamored of a Chianti Classico than Il Palazzino’s 2012 Grosso Sanese that Alessandro and his son Edoardo fashioned. Smooth, rich and velvety, the 2012 Il Palazzino Grosso Sanese captures the sculptured beauty of the Tuscan landscape. Savory scents and flavors of ripe red cherries, rose petals, and exotic spices waft from the glass and caress the palate. Add a

“A classic,” “simply delicious” and “quintessential Sonoma Chardonnay” are just a few of the comments and descriptors uttered by our tasting panel about Walt’s 2017 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Walt’s beautiful Sonoma Coast Chardonnay entices the eyes as well as the nose and palate. Clothed in a sunlit robe and emitting an enchanting array of floral and fruit aromas in the form of acacia, forsythia and ripe pineapple topped with a faint...

Once again, Fisher has fashioned a quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon. The superb 2014 Fisher Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers gorgeous dark fruit flavors in the form of black cherry, wild blackberry, and plum along with hints of cocoa and finely ground spices. Bold, flavorful, and incredibly textured, the 2014 Fisher Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the greatness of Fisher’s high elevation mountain fruit. Savory and...
