Scarpetta Pinot Grigio from Friuli Grave in Italy presents a pale straw color with a crisp, refreshing aroma of green apple and pear. On the palate, it offers bright citrus flavors with hints of stone fruit, balanced by a clean minerality. The finish is crisp and dry, making it an...

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...

100% Torrontés Riojano from El Jarillal Estate, Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza (3000 feet altitude). Brilliant yellow color with marked green touches. The aromas are delicate and intense where tropical fruit and jasmine flower are predominant. Fresh flavor, well balanced, and a long finish.

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...
