In 2022, the estate will only be producing a small quantity of the single-vineyard Riservas, with the majority of fruit going into the 2022 Barbaresco. It pours a jeweled ruby red color and reveals a seductive yet very pure nose of cherry cordial, crushed roses, sweet herbs, and peppery spice....

Layered aromas of Luxardo cherry and black currant are underscored by leather, coffee, and wet slate. Notes of star anise add savory complexity, while vanilla bean lends subtle warmth. The palate is structured and...

This extraordinary wine was crafted from fruit sourced exclusively from S.L.V. Block 4, the final remaining block of the original S.L.V. vines planted in 1972—now 51 years old and still producing fruit of remarkable character and depth. The standard 2023 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon has already garnered early critical acclaim with...

Slightly better, the 2019 Tapestry Reserve (which was first made in 1990) offers lots of red and blue fruits as well as notes of tobacco and dried herbs. It's more focused, concentrated, and structured than the Napa Valley Cabernet and, I suspect, will evolve for 10-15 years. Rated 92/100 Jeb...

While never as big or concentrated as the Mazane, I still tend to prefer this cuvée from Alaine Jaume due to its complexity and just sheer charm. Spicy red and black fruits, Provençal garrigue, and tons of spice all shine from the 2023 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue, and it's medium-bodied, has...
