Pale ruby in the glass. Aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, layered with black pepper, cedar, smoke, tobacco, leather, and earth. Dry, with bright acidity, a medium body, and a medium finish.

Vivid pinkish-salmon hue with a fine stream of bubbles. Notes of strawberry, citrus peel, green apple, and brioche. Crisp acidity, a creamy mousse, and perfectly balanced dosage. Refreshing, elegant, and succulent, with a long, zesty finish. — 5 months ago

Pale lemon-straw in the glass with medium intensity. Bright citrus notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit with apple, peach, pineapple, and subtle floral hints. Fuller-bodied than many Sauvignon Blancs, with a rounded texture that’s balanced by medium-plus acidity and a mineral-driven finish. A hint of bread dough. Opens up with time. — 5 months ago

Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. Bright citrus notes of lemon, green apple, and pear, with white peach, lychee, and delicate white florals. Hints of bread dough, toast, and brioche. Racy acidity and zesty effervescence. Dry, with a mineral-driven, medium-plus finish. Elegant, lean, and precise. Definitely buying again. — 4 months ago

Deep garnet. Blackberry, ripe black plum, cherry, and vanilla, layered with notes of black pepper, licorice, smoke, leather, and earthy spice. Full-bodied and fruit-forward on the palate with velvety texture and a long finish. Balanced with medium acidity and tannins. There’s a touch of rustic mustiness initially, but it opens beautifully with air. Let it breathe and you’ll be rewarded. It’s only going to get more interesting with age. — 5 months ago

Pale straw in the glass. Ripe peach, pineapple, pear, and blossom, with hints of vanilla, lychee, and honeysuckle. On the palate—banana, apple, and a touch of cream, lifted by medium-plus acidity. I’m not usually a fan of Napa Chard, but this one is elegant and balanced, with well-integrated oak. — 5 months ago

9.1

Medium-bright ruby in the glass. Tart red cherry, raspberry, and vanilla on the nose, with smoky spice and hints of tobacco and dried fig. Juicy red fruit dominates, supported by high acidity, medium tannins, and a medium-plus finish. Alcohol is prominent, adding intensity. Needs ample air—after 45 minutes, it was still opening up. A bold, structured Brunello that will benefit from decanting or aging. — 4 months ago

Medium ruby hue. Tart red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, banana, and bubblegum. Dry with bright acidity, soft tannins, and light body. Vibrant yet uncomplicated. Best enjoyed chilled with some air. Perfect for casual sipping.

Pale golden in the glass with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of green apple, orange peel, pear, and peach, layered over rich notes of brioche and toast. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and complex, with a creamy texture, energetic mousse, and toasty depth. High acidity. Vibrant and refreshing with a long, satisfying finish. Consistently well-balanced, reliably delicious. A standout non-vintage Champagne. — 5 months ago
