Pecina ‘Senorio de P. Pecina’ Rioja Cosecha
90 POINTS WA
“I loved the wild character of the young, unoaked 2017 Señorío de P. Peciña Cosecha. It had a light maceration and extraction and was kept in tank for two months before bottling. It has a raw and savage nose, mixing raspberry leaf and earthy aromas, full of character with elegant rusticity. It’s juicy and chewy, as pure as it gets.”

Delas Ventoux Rouge
90 POINTS WA
“A consistent performer, the Delas Ventoux o ers hints of concrete dust or crushed stone layered over subtle cherry aromas. The unoaked 80-20 blend of Grenache and Syrah is medium-bodied, with a velvety feel and dried spices and Bing cherries on the silky finish. At the suggested retail of $11, it’s a screaming bargain.”

Domaine Lafage Bastide Miraflors
94 POINTS JD
“A ripe, sexy, beauty with killer notes of chocolate, blackberry and raspberries. Deep, unctuous, open knit and layered. Seamless and silky profile, and not a hard edge to be found. It’s a sensational value that needs to be tasted to be believed.”

“This is delicious! Very classy and appealing aromas of flowers, garrigue, spice, and forest floor.

Bouquet, taste, finish: all are magnificent.”

The Pinot Project Pinot Noir
90 POINTS WE
“This is such a great buy from importer Michael Skurnik who turned to California for this wine. While supple in texture, the wine packs in dense red-cherry and ripe raspberry aromas and flavors that seem subtle at first but slowly open and expand with each sni and sip. It has good layering and an excellent balance of moderate tannins and acidity.”
