Spicy and savory, with a whiff of wild herbs and lemon zest that completes a gorgeous bouquet. Silky on the palate, as ripe melon, hints of lime, minerals and juicy acids keep things lively and fresh, tapering off with inner florals and a hint of sour citrus. $14.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2020) — 5 days ago

Le Cinciole’s 2017 Chianti Classico is a huge overachiever. Dark red cherry, spice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco infuse the 2017 with tremendous resonance and character, while soft, silky contours add to its immediacy and sheer appeal. Vinified in concrete and aged in cask. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2020) — a month ago

Honied florals, crisp yellow apple and hints of citrus set the stage for soothing textures that balance ripeness of fruit against stimulating mineral tones. A sweet-and-sour sensation creates further intrigue, as well as lending a drink-me-now persona to the wine. $18.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2020) — 2 months ago

This rich but vibrant bone-dry blend of Roussanne and Viognier offers uncanny complexity and intensity for its gentle price. Aromas and flavors of citrus and stone fruits are accented by kiwi, mint and lime blossom, with firm acidity extending the fruit through a subtly long, lively finish. $16.00 (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2020) — 2 months ago

The 2016 Chianti Classico Argenina is fabulous. Dark cherry, gravel, sage, mint and leather bring out the darker side of Sangiovese in a Chianti Classico that captures all the pedigree of this great vintage. The 2016 is intense in the glass, and yet retains so much Sangiovese translucence. $24.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020) — 14 days ago

This Alto Adige Pinot Noir packs a lot of varietal character. Peppery herbs, savory spice, notes of bright cherry and strawberry waft up from the glass. Cool-toned, pure and precise, it balances ripe fruit with a hint of fine tannin, while promising several years of positive evolution. $21.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2020) — a month ago

A stunning opening reveals depths of ripe peach and strawberry, with hints of cumin, ginger, dried orange and roses. Silky textures tug at the cheeks as zesty acids settle in, then sooth through sweet liquid florals and ripe fruit. A blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina. $19.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2020) — 2 months ago

A rush of citrus, floral and tomato leaf aromatics lead into beautifully sculpted orchard fruit flavors, nicely balancing vivacity with depth. The Sybarite offers plenty of bright Sauvignon character (without veering into the green/grassy end of the spectrum) and tons of sheer appeal. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020) — 20 days ago

Baudry’s 2019 Chinon Rosé offers suave, mineral-accented aromas of fresh red berries and tangerine on the sharply focused nose. The palate is dry and energetic, with sappy strawberry, bitter cherry and orange zest flavors. Closes long and silky, with a faint touch of anise. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2020) — 2 months ago
