The Quercegrosse di Vallepicciola is a Merlot in purity that is inspired by the great Bordeaux of Pomerol.

Vallisto 2018 Malbec
Price range: $15.99 through $156.00

Calchaqui Valley Argentina
Antonio Galloni Vinous 93 Rating
The 2018 Malbec, 100% Calchaqui Valley was 1/3 raised for a year in barrels of various ages. Violet in the glass with a slight glow, the aromas of plum and blueberry with licorice and balsamic traces, beeswax and a hint of violet. The excellent palate is both fleshy and juicy and maintains both its volume and easygoing nature even with the active tannins guiding the way. A red best drunk in a couple of years.

Velenosi 2023 Pecorino Villa Angela Offida
Price range: $21.99 through $204.00

Marche Italy
Vinous 89 Rating
The 2023 Pecorino Offida Villa Angela is sharply focused with a pungent whiff of grapefruit and lemon zest, further complicated by wild herbs and crushed stone. This is round and soothing, with a balanced inner sweetness offset by sour lime and crisp green apple. It finishes short yet clean and refreshing, leaving a hint of tart citrus rind concentration. If tasting blind, I could mistake this for a rich and powerful New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. That said, it’s opulent, balanced and thoroughly satisfying.

Venge 2023 Scout’s Honor Proprietary Red
Price range: $29.99 through $336.00

Napa Valley California
Enjoyabilityfactor 93 Rating
This has a gorgeous, concentrated assemblage of sweet honeysuckle, crushed blue herbs, aromas of violets, anise, and a touch of vanillin. On the palate is pure richness from the old-vine Zinfandel with loads of super ripe black fruits and currants, pepper spice, and an enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono and Petite Sirah. A seamless balance and mouth coating deliciousness are found throughout the palate, with an extra-long finish that is quite pleasing to the senses.

Verite 2012 Le Desir
$399.99

Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 100 Rating
Share Tweet
The 2012 Le Desir (64% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec) reminds me of a young vintage of Ausone, such as 2005. The wine has amazing minerality and an explosive blueberry nose intermixed with blackberries, new saddle leather, charcoal and camphor. It is full-bodied, with espresso notes emerging on the palate. There are 1,900 cases of this super-endowed, prodigious wine that should drink well for 35-40 years. How fun it would be for mega-millionaires to put this in a blind tasting of a great vintage of Ausone in 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Drink: 2015-2055. SP22-1
