Robert Mondavi 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $29.99 through $150.00Napa Valley California
Decanter Magazine 94 Rating
The Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for Mondavi is an expression drawn from multiple AVAs across Napa Valley, incorporating small portions of Merlot and Malbec, with fruit sourced from Carneros up to St Helena. Aged 18 months in 31% new French oak, it is about as classic as it gets from Napa’s iconic flagship estate. Bursting from the glass with black cherry, blackberry, and spiced plum, the wine shows well-integrated new wood cedar and a kiss of vanilla and is quite enticing. Tobacco spice adds nuance, while the palate delivers bright, energetic juiciness framed by refined tannins. There’s a real sense of completeness and generosity, with nothing out of place. Wet slate minerality carries through the finish.

Robert Mondavi 2023 Maestro 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $109.99 through $540.00Napa Valley California
Decanter Magazine 98 Rating
This wine commemorates the reopening of Robert Mondavi Winery, drawing from To Kalon Vineyard and the historic Wappo Hill. The To Kalon components derive from a mix of established and newly replanted blocks, including parcels south of Oakville Grade now delivering fourth-leaf fruit, alongside sections spanning north to south across the property. The Stags Leap fruit comes from some of Ogasawara’s favorite blocks. It bursts from the glass with classic Oakville signatures of dark black fruit, garrigue, mint and tobacco. On the palate, savory olive tapenade emerges alongside ironstone minerality and a crushed-cocoa-nib nuance. The tannins marry Oakville suaveness with Stags Leap power, mineral-laced and assertive, finishing with both grace and muscularity. It shows beautifully into the second and third day, gaining weight as the fruit deepens and takes on a more earth-driven intensity – a clear signal of its capacity to cellar for decades to come. Winemaker Kurtis Ogasawara sought to honor the Mondavi legacy by blending the two sites, which has never been done before. Aged for 20 months in 36% new French oak, the wine is presented with a label that nods to the 1960s-era design, subtly incorporating elements of the newly reopened winery (2026). The lightweight, dark antique-green glass bottle and shorter cork further echo those debut bottlings, some of which may still rest in well-stocked cellars.

Robert Sinsky 2018 POV Red
Price range: $54.99 through $528.00Carneros Napa Valley
New World precision meets Old World Soul for a “Right Bank” of Napa claret with unparalleled deliciousness, depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage of POV makes its presence known in an emphatic way. Summer-fresh tart bing cherry, ripe raspberry and blackberry bramble lend a crispness from first sip to last. Secondary notes of rose petal, fresh oregano, forest floor and mocha nod to the terroir of the Mayacamas foothills in the northern reaches of Los Carneros, rich in red soil and farmed with organic, regenerative practices. The wine is framed in elegant, understated French oak with a savory core that will continue to open and evolve as the wine ages.

Rocca Giovanni 2022 Barbera d’Alba Pianromualdo
Price range: $21.99 through $216.00Piedmont Italy
The aroma is intense and ample, with notes that remind one of rose pedals, blackberries and chocolate. The taste is full and equilibrated, slightly acidic and sapid, with a complex and persistent aftertaste that has delicate hints of toasted hazelnuts. Pleasantly bitter.

Price range: $24.99 through $216.00Piedmont Italy
A classily produced Nebbiolo, a long-lived wine with a garnet red color and orange reflections. The aroma is very intense, fruity with regal notes of cherries, prunes and violets. The taste is fully harmonic and pleasantly round tannin. Very well balanced and food friendly.

Rochioli 2023 Pinot Noir
Price range: $84.99 through $456.00Russian River Valley California
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate bursts from the glass with scents of cranberry, blackberry, juniper, Fernet and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is open and inviting. Waves of spicy fruit are delivered in a silky texture and energized by vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish.

Rochioli 2024 Estate Chardonnay Russian River Valley
$59.99Sonoma County California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
Ryan Rochioli is now taking charge of this wine. The 2024 Chardonnay Estate is a bright yellow hue and carries more structure and youthful astringency than some of the others in the lineup, though I suspect it simply needs time. Pineapple rind, almond, candlewax, spice, richness, and immense length all emerge on the palate. Powerful but never heavy. Drink 2026-2040. -
Rochioli 2025 Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley
Price range: $49.99 through $258.00California
Wine Spectator 94 Rating
This is lovely, with a long and caressing feel to its core of Key lime, golden kiwifruit, gooseberry and lemon curd. Verbena, honeysuckle and thyme flavors add contrast and range through the finish, which glistens beautifully, leaving a piercing echo of fleur de sel. Drink now through 2034.

Rockpile Winery 2016 Zinfandel Rockpile Ridge Vineyard
$54.99Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
“Sixty-five percent of the vines planted in Rockpile are Zinfandel,” says Clay Mauritson. “What’s gotten lost in that narrative is how unbelievable Cabernet Sauvignon is in Rockpile. It has a lot of similarities to places like Napa.” Deep ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon Rockpile Ridge Vineyard is blended of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in French oak. It has a nose with red and black cherries and currants, milk chocolate, star anise, cardamom, cedar and touches of minerals and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, it’s very plush and spicy in the mouth with tons of baby fat fruit, segueing to mineral and licorice notions. It has a firm frame of chalky tannins and good freshness to lift the long, layered finish. Leave this in the cellar for another three to five years and drink it over the next 20+. R45-2
