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.

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."

Inconnu "Papa Jaja" California Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
90
Our Score
(7/2020) The rare Cabernet Sauvignon that is fresh, bright and easygoing, Inconnu's Papa Jaja comes from an organically farmed vineyard in Clarksburg and is fermented naturally and raised in neutral barrels. The result is high-toned and very juicy, with aromas and flavors of cassis, blackberry cranberry and dried cherry with notes of crushed violet, cedar and dried herbs. With its medium body, soft tannins and tuned-up acidity, Papa Jaja is the grill-side red that we're craving, especially with a slight chill.

Koppitsch "Ret" Burgenland Red Blend 2018
90+
Our Score
(7/2020) Alexander and Maria Koppitsch's Ret is a blend of Zweigelt and St. Laurent harvested from gravelly soils off the shores of the Neusidl lake. The grapes are pressed as whole bunches and raised in steel tanks and acacia barrels for 14 months on the lees to maintain the resultant wine's fruity character. And it works - the wine is generously juicy with loads of macerated cherries and blackberries framed by notes of dried herbs and a sprinkling of cracked black pepper. Ret is versatile and universally drinkable, but best wielded like a secret weapon while grilling.

90+
Our Score
(6/2020) Coming from the Sierra de Gredos mountains inside the appellation of Madrid, this blend of Garnacha, Carinena and Syrah exhibits some of the finest in natural winemaking in one of the most exciting areas of Spain. The grapes are hand-harvest and cold macerated whole-cluster, fermenting on wild yeast before being raised in various neutral vessels for nine months. The result is medium-full and juicy with aromas and flavors of black cherry, black raspberry and rhubarb supported by dried herbs and a wisp of smoke. A perfect burger wine.

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.

Broc Cellars "Love Rose" North Coast 2019
90
Our Score
(6/2020) 80% Valdigue, 14% Zinfandel and 6% Trousseau are spontaneously co-fermented in stainless steel barrels to produce this summery beauty. Lifted and juicy, the aromas and flavors of fresh strawberry, ripe melon and blood orange are backed up by wisps of mint and rained-upon minerals. Some notable body is provided by the Zinfandel and Trousseau and balanced wonderfully by the lively acidity of the Valdigue. The Broc Cellars "Love" series is a favorite every vintage and 2019 is proving to be no exception.

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2019) "The 2017 Riesling Steinhugel is gorgeous. Orchard fruit, exotic floral notes, jasmine, mint and lemon confit are some of the notes that grace this exquisite Riesling from Graham Tatomer. The 2017 offers a compelling balance of aromatic nuance, racy fruit and soft curves, with an extra kick of textural richness from the well judged seven grams of residual sugar Drinking Window: 2019 - 2025."

Meinklang Burgenland White Blend 2019
89
Our Score
(7/2020) As what might be considered Meinklang's 'house white' this blend of Gruner Veltliner, Welschriesling and Muscat far surpasses the constraints of that moniker in both quality and distinctiveness. Fermented with native yeasts and raised in steel tanks on the lees, the wine glows with aromas and flavors of pear, white peach, lime rind and white flowers. Its light-to-medium body and super-crisp acidity make for ideal summer drinking - a great pairing with fresh veggies and grilled chicken. Pure sunshine in this bottle.

Isaac Cantalapiedra "Cantayano" Rueda Verdejo 2017
90
Our Score
(2/2020) Harvested from three parcels, this lovely Verdejo is wild yeast fermented then raised on lees for 8 months and bottled without filtration or fining. On the nose, a vibrant mix of tropical and stone fruit reveals surprising depth, supported by a supple texture and hint of fresh herbs. It's ripeness and structure make this a versatile food wine, but it will shine with sheep's cheese or grilled octopus.
