3 Rings Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 [RC 18.5]
Raymond Chan Wine Reviews 18.5/20. Deep, ruby-black with a slight hint of garnet, lighter edged. The nose is intensely full, filled with aromas of eucalyptus, pencil shavings, melded with cassis, blackberries, violets and savoury, earthy hints. Full-bodied, bright fruit aromas of cassis, blackberries, violets interweave a hint of leather, unfolding eucalyptus, pencil shavings and earth.

Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso 2020 [JS 91, Top 5 Pizza Wine WSJ]
Voted Top 5 wine to have with a pizza by Wall Street Journal in 2017. James Suckling 91 points. Wine Advocate 90 points "The 2020 Montefalco Rosso is an easy-drinking blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot aged in oak for one year. This is a big production of 250,000 bottles and you get lots of bang for your buck in terms of velvety fruit, creamy texture, prune, plum and more dark fruit. It's all intermingled with well-dosed spice." ML May 2023.
Atalaya del Camino 2020 [WA 92]
Wine Advocate 92 points. This is a blend of 85% Garnacha Tintorera and 15% Monastrell from dry-farmed, head-pruned vines that are planted on limestone soils and average 45 years of age. It fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts and matured in French oak barrels for one year. This feels harmonious and integrated, still young and a little creamy, but it was only bottled one month before I tasted it. There's more freshness and balance here, the 2020 is the most harmonious of the three vintages I tasted side by side. 54,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.
Bissoni Sangiovese Superiore Girapoggio 2019 DOC Organic [Gold]
Awarded Gold Medal and "People's Crown" , voted by readers of Vini Buoni d'Italia. 2 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso. Raffaella Bissoni is a remarkable woman whom we first met in 2015. We had been told by the conoscenti that she has been leading a quiet revolution in Romagna to reinstate the region as an internationally reknowned producer of sangiovese. Given that Tuscany has long held the spotlight for all sangiovese wines we were both curious and skeptical. That was until we tried her wines. They are outstanding and represent excellent value. The winery now exports to 10 countries, with the USA being the largest taker....
Bodegas Franco-Espanolas "ROYAL" Rioja Crianza 2019 [WE 90]
Wine Enthusiast 90 points. Bodegas Franco-Españolas was born in 1890 as the union between France and Spain at a peak moment in Rioja, when the French came to the region trying to replace their vineyards devastated by the phylloxera disease. It was the origin of the “fino wines of Rioja”. In 2015 the winery celebrated its 125th anniversary and in 2016, Borja Eguizábal assumes management, giving way to the third generation of the Eguizábal family as owners of the winery. We met with Borja at the family's Ribera del Duero estate (Valparaiso) where we got an unexpected insight...
Bodegas Lan "D-12" 2020 [TA 93]
Tim Atkin MW 93 points. Lan D-12 homages an old La Rioja tradition. In the past, the cellar masters of the region used to keep the best wines for the personal consumption of the winemaking and vineyard crew. At Bodegas Lan, the top quality wines were vinified in Depósito nª12 (diposit 12), hence the name of this Spanish red wine . Made solely from Tempranillo, this red wine from La Rioja is sourced from three plots of vines, aged 30 to 45 years, with clay-limestone soils.

Capanna Rosso di Montalcino 2020 DOC [VM 92]
Vinous Media 92 points. Rosso di Montalcino Capanna is the simplest and most immediate version of the great Brunello di Montalcino. Like Brunello, it is made from pure Sangiovese grapes, a fresh and elegant expression of Montalcino red wine.

Clos Lojen 2021 [WA 93]
Wine Advocate 93 points. Juan António Ponce told me 2021 is one of those vintages when you realize in wine you never know everything...

DePaula Monastrell 2021 [WA 92]
Wine Advocate 92 points. The Monastrell red 2021 Depaula comes from vines at 700 meters in altitude on very poor soils, and sometimes the grapes don't ripen properly; but that was not the case in 2021, when the vines had enough water to ripen all the grapes thoroughly and produced a wine with very pure varietal character. It's fresh, balsamic and herbal, with a limestone core that delivers length and freshness coupled with a juicy Mediterranean character. Really good value. The wine has an incredible 12.5% alcohol. It's quite different from the 2020; they picked the grapes 15 days later than normal, and the grapes ripened...
Devil's Staircase Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022
Made by the team at Rockburn. Winery Note: Our Devil’s Staircase wines are inspired by the winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Sourced from several Central Otago vineyards, the Devil’s Staircase Pinot Noir takes the willing down into the realm of decadence and Bacchanalian delights. Here, everything is pleasure spiced up with a bit of naughty. The unrelenting Central Otago environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce a wine worthy of absolution; strong and sensual with lashings of dark fruit, sinfully succulent and devilishly good. The flavours are practically immoral,...

Donatella Cinelli Colombini Chianti Superiore 2019 [VM 90]
Vinous Media (Antonio Gallono) 90 points. Donatella Cinelli Colombini’s Chianti Superiore is made practically with only Sangiovese; the presence of just a few complementary clusters is in respect of the tradition that sees Chianti as a blend of more varieties. Its dominant element is its elegance, typical of Sangiovese with the particular aroma of violet that characterizes this denomination among all the others.
Donatella Cinelli Colombini Rosso di Montalcino 2020
Organic. Made with certified-organic fruit. Intense and brilliant ruby red. Fine, complex with vinous aromas reminiscent of Sangiovese and suggestions of small ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries and blackberries together with floral elements and specifically violets. Communicative wine that satisfies with its harmonic fullness. The silky effect comes from tannins balanced with the fruit and alcohol. Good persistence, extremely pleasant.
