Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2020) "The 2018 Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard is a fabulous wine that captures the essence of Ballard Canyon. Dark cherry, pepper, spice, leather and tobacco are all signatures of a Syrah that balances power, finesse and energy. Lavender, sage and dried herb overtones add an attractive savory character to the finish. Drink 2020 - 2030."

Envinate "Albahra" Vinos Mediterraneos 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"The work of this "New Gang of Four", both in the vineyard and winery, is currently focused on exploring exceptional vineyard plots across the Iberian Peninsula. The Envinate philosophy is simple: let each parcela, or single parcel, fully express itself in the finished wine by utilizing old-fashioned farming and winemaking methods. The results are some of the most exciting wines being produced in Spain today. Albahra (Castilian for "small sea") is named for the vineyard area in the Almansa region close to the town of Albacete. Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet, a red-juiced grape) is blended with Moravia Agria (a high-acid, low alcohol grape) from a single vineyard in neighboring Manchuela. All grapes are hand-harvested and vinified separately by parcel. The Garnacha Tintorera is foot-trodden in vat with 30-50% stems included and 6-10 days skin maceration, then fermented and raised on fine lees in concrete for 8 months; the Moravia Agria is completely destemmed and sees 7 days maceration before being pressed and raised on fine lees in 228L used French barriques for 8 months, all without battonage. The wine is then blended and bottled unfined, unfiltered and with very little SO2 addition. This is a wine with a pure high-toned nose, floral red fruit, with hints of spice and bursting with minerality. An extremely versatile food wine, especially with Mediterranean meats and seafood."

Pearl Morissette "Primesautier" Niagara Penninsula Red Blend 2019
90
Our Score
(9/2020) 81% Lemberger with the remainder Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the grapes were fermented with indigenous yeast and aged separately on lees for three months before blending and a further two months of aging. Assisted by the Niagara Peninsula's cool climate, the result is medium-bodied and deliciously lively, with juicy aromas and flavors of black cherry and cranberry, accompanied by hints of dried leaves and licorice. Great for lovers of Pinot Noir and Gamay, this is a delightfully fun wine from a serious producer.

(11/13/2020) "Why does nobody want to know about Alsace Sylvaner, when there are super wines like this around? The stunning nose of mirabelle and nutty apple leads you into the medium-to full-bodied palate that's got so much textural complexity, of a kind that will delight Chardonnay fans. Clean mineral and herbal finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

(9/2020) Harvested from two dry-farmed blocks in the Haaken Lenai vineyard in Dundee Hills, this Pinot Gris is then fermented with indigenous yeast and aged on lees for nine months in neutral barrel. Light-medium-bodied with ample, juicy aromas and flavors of Meyer lemon, lime pith, ripe pineapple and white flowers, this is a wine that is well-suited for drinking on its own or perfectly paired with seafood or white pizza.

Fond Cypres "Cypres de Toi" Blanc 2019
90+
Our Score
(10/2020) Grown on calcareous soil and blue marl and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, this is a lean and clean Chardonnay that packs in a ton of character. Green apple, lime rind and lemon juice accompany notes of herbs de Provence and wet stone with wonderful texture on its medium-bodied palate. Fresh and lively, but with significant depth and structure, this will prove an excellent everyday wine.

Our Score
(10/2020) 100% Nebbiolo harvested from mountainous, terraced vineyards northwest of Piedmont spends four months in steel tank and a month in bottle, yielding a fresh, young medium-bodied wine with expressive aromas of ripe cherry, rose petals, crushed rocks and leather.

Christina Carnuntum Gruner Veltliner 2019
91
Our Score
(6/2020) Though Christina Netzl has been around winemaking since she was five years old, she's a newcomer on the global scene with beautiful, naturally-produced wines from her vineyards in Carnuntum. Her Gruner Veltliner is pure and expressive, helped along by the relative coolness of the vineyards' immediate area. Generous and refreshing notes of gooseberry and lime zest are cradled by white flowers and snow pea, followed by the consummate crispness that is essential Gruner Veltliner. Unfined, unfiltered, unrelentingly delicious.
