Tua Rita "Perlato del Bosco" Toscana Rosso 2017

Wine Advocate
(8/30/2019) "A lean and light Sangiovese, the 2017 Perlato del Bosco has a great tonic freshness to it. Yields of this fruit were down by 40% in this hot vintage, an early harvest was scheduled in order to avoid any jammy notes. (The rest of the fruit that didn't pass the early selection at harvest went into some of the estates lower-tier wines, such as the Rosso dei Notri.) The result here is a fresh and crunchy red to match with a cheesy pasta such as cacio e pepe. Drink Date 2019 - 2026."

BLANKbottle "Master of None" Western Cape Red Blend 2019
91
Our Score
(12/2020) This is a great example of the work that winemakers do in the winery. Composed of an absolute smorgasbord of grape varieties (Grenache, Cinsault, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chenin Blanc) some might dismiss this blend on paper. However, when a winemaker has a particular vision, it can really shine through in the glass. At BLANKbottle they value the natural expression of the fruit their unique terroir gives them. In "Master of None" you get lively aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry and wildflowers. While the nose is inviting, light-hearted and fun, on the palate this wine REALLY delivers the goods. There's a bouncy liveliness here often found in great Beaujolais. Light-bodied with great acidity, this wine is perfect for a myriad of different foods; roasted chicken, barbecue and seafood jump to the front of our minds!

(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."

Braida "Il Baciale" Monferrato Rosso 2017

Wine Spectator
(5/31/2020) "A rich, blackberry- and plum-infused red, backed by vibrant acidity and civilized tannins. Hints of chocolate and spice add interest as this finishes long. Barbera, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2025. 2,000 cases made, 400 cases imported."

Meroi "Nestri" Friuli Rosso 2014
92
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(5/2017) "The 2014 Nestri (Merlot, Refosco) is a fragrant, absolutely delicious mid-weight red to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red berries, herbs, rose petal, mint and licorice give the Nestri its distinctive aromatic, savory profile, and yet there is more than enough depth in the fruit to keep things in balance. An unqualified success, the 2014 Nestri is a gorgeous wine, especially within the context of what was a very challenging vintage."

(8/2020) "The 2018, Doug Margerum's Grenache-based blend, is fabulous. A burst of sweet berry fruit and floral notes give this racy red so much immediacy, not to mention incredible appeal. Medium in body, with no hard edges and terrific purity of expression, M5 is a winner."

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.

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."

Donkey & Goat "The Gallivanter" North Coast Red Blend 2018
An awesome and sustainable winery at the forefront of the natural wine movement!
90
Our Score
(11/2020) A staple of Donkey and Goat's portfolio, the Gallivanter is sourced from a rotating roster of organic and sustainably farmed vineyards each year with the same goal in mind - red, well-priced and delicious! The 2018 blends Pinot Noir, Grenache, Mourvedre, Merlot and Syrah, spontaneously fermented in old oak, and bottled without fining or filtration. Medium-bodied with grippy tannins, the Gallivanter is fresh and juicy, with generous flavors of black cherry and pomegranate, complemented by notes of crushed violet. This tasty fruit-forward red matches and casual approachability with structure and depth.

Daou "Pessimist" Paso Robles Red 2018
92
Wine Advocate
(1/31/2020) "The 2018 Pessimist is a barrel sample blend of 62% Petite Sirah, 19% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah and 2% Lagrein. It is expected to age for 11 months in 50% new French oak. Opaque ruby-purple, it offers up tar, chargrill, turned black earth and blackcurrants with wafts of blackcurrant bud, dark chocolate, smoked meats and crushed red cherries. The medium to full-bodied palate has lifted flavor layers, a firm, grainy frame and long, spicy, fresh finish."
