Alice et Oliver De Moor "Caravan" Le Vendangeur Masque Vin de France Blanc 2017
93
Jamie Goode
(5/5/2019) "Assemblage of Clairette (Drome), Pinot Gris, Chardonnay (from the south of Burgundy) and Riesling (Alsace). One year in barrel then blended afterwards. This has lovely floral, grapey aromatics with some citrus and tinned pear. The palate has lovely texture and depth with pretty grapey notes but also a lovely texture. Nice grainy structure and good acidity. Very fine and expressive, starting out so pretty, but then displaying a more serious mouthfeel."

Domaine Paul-Henri Thillardon Moulin-a-Vent 2018
93+
Wine Advocate
(8/30/2019) "The 2018 Moulin-a-Vent is exceptional, revealing aromas of rose petals, candied peel and red berries. Derived from the lieux-dits of Michelons and Pinson, the one east-facing and the other west-facing, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core, ripe acids and fine tannins. Drink Date: 2020 - 2030."

Mortellito "Calaniuru" Terre Siciliane Rosso 2019
91
Our Score
(10/2020) This blend of 75% Frappato and 25% Nero D'Avola is macerated for three to five days with native yeasts and kept six months in stainless steel. With the heft of its medium body provided by the Nero D'Avola, this is a wine of impressive depth counterbalanced by maximum freshness and clarity. Juicy strawberry and candied cherry on the nose are supported by wisps of tobacco and cracked pepper, pleading with you to be paired with roast turkey or light pasta.

Tenuta di Valgiano "Palistorti" Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2017
92
Our Score
(4/2020) This might just be the best vintage ever of the still underappreciated "Palistorti" from Tenuta di Valgiano. Biodynamically-farmed (certified) vines of predominantly Sangiovese with a bit of Syrah and Merlot, is really a vineyard/vine selection. The same blend of vines from the same estate, made in much the same way comprises Valgiano's flagship wine, but this wine comes in with about 1/3 the price tag. As the younger vines gain age, there is increasing density and length in this bottling, and for the first time it received the "Tre Bicchieri" top honor from the Gambero Rosso this year! Lucca has been a meeting ground for French vines and Tuscany's Sangiovese, there's nothing "modernist" in the approach. No abundance of new oak, no overripeness. The wine has radiant energy, a modest 13% alcohol, but great intensity. Expect notes of black cherry, red florals, brown spice, pepper, loam, fern. But expect the unexpected as this will drink easily for a decade from vintage.

Domaine Celine Jacquet Roussette de Savoie 2017
91+
Our Score
(9/2020) This 100% Altesse, the flagship grape of the Roussette de Savoie AOP, is painstakingly harvested from steep, south-facing slopes and vinified with minimal intervention. The result is deep and complex yet neighborly, with a bushel of juicy fruit on the nose and palate - honeyed pear, pineapple, mango and grapefruit rind - with a puff of baby powder on a layer of limestone. Its supple mouthfeel perfectly balanced with crisp acidity, this wine will play a strong supporting role with shellfish and grilled vegetables.

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2020) "The Foradori Teroldego always makes for a wonderful introduction to the brand. In fact, it was a vertical tasting of the Teroldego, a wine created in a fresh style from younger vines, yet still noble and age-worthy, that first won my heart - not the top-shelf Granato. The 2018 is no different. Here I'm finding a display of wild berry, fresh peppery herbs, violets, and crushed stone. It's silky in texture, complemented by cool-toned red fruits and minerals, with just a hint of round tannin that provides grip. Inner florals resonate, while residual acids pinch at the taste buds. This is perfectly balanced, wonderfully pleasing today yet able to mature over the medium term in a cold cellar. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2030"

Nicolas Mariotti Bindi "Mursaglia" Patrimonio Blanc 2016
91
Our Score
(6/2020) Nicolas Mariotti Bindi's transition from a fledgling lawyer to a Patrimonio winemaker was a lucky break for both him and us, as he is producing some of the finest Niellucciu and Vermentinu in the area. His Mursaglia Blanc is 100% Vermentinu - estate fruit harvested from one hectare of parcels of clay and limestone soils. Aged 12 months on lees in tank and bottled unfiltered, the wine has incredible texture with a medium body that delicately balances with its crisp acidity. Green apple, lemon and lime dominate supplemented by notes of fresh jasmine and a flinty minerality. Versatile, delicious and drinking very well right now, put this up against your favorite Chablis.

(9/11/2018) "Vivid and lively aromas of crushed raspberries and lemons follow through to a medium-bodied palate with energetic fruit and balanced acidity. There's a fascinating lemon-rind and cherry aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."

Libertine Wines "Barncat Vineyard" Willamette Valley Riesling 2018
Tiny production, tiny supply! Inspired by Alsace, this Riesling is medium bodied, slightly off-dry and made with minimal intervention. It is very food friendly and quite delicious!
92
Our Score
(5/2020) A stunner of a single-vineyard Riesling from Libertine Wines, the Barncat is macerated for four days prior to native-yeast fermentation, then aged on lees in neutral oak for about a year. The result is medium-bodied and very slightly off-dry, with plush green apple and key lime aromas and flavors, supplemented by layers of limestone, jasmine, baby powder and a hint of smokiness. Libertine's catalog may include a lot of fun and delicious experiments in winemaking, but this should be juxtaposed with classically styled, Old World Rieslings at nearly twice the price-point. With only 44 cases produced, we grabbed all we could, but once it's gone it's gone!

Le Sot de l'Ange "ALZ" Vin de France Blanc 2019

Our Score
(2/2021) Here's a delicious and refreshing white blend comprised of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Chenin Blanc, sourced from high-altitude vineyards near Carcassonne in the Languedoc, just outside of Minervois. Light to medium in body, its aromas and flavors of lime, green apple and gooseberry are joined by hints of limestone and talcum powder, finishing with electric acidity. This is delightful with light Asian fare.
