La Jota Vineyard 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
$139.99Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is deep garnet-purple colored and features gregarious crème de cassis, black cherry preserves and baked plums with touches of Indian spices, cigar box and charcuterie. Full, firm and decadently fruited, it has a fantastic foundation and very long, layered and expressive finish. Moderately high tannins but beautiful sweetness and fruit. Drink it over the next 25-30 years. SP27-4 -

James Suckling 94 Rating
Aromas of dried cherries, smoke, dark leather and violets with some dried leaves follow through to a full body with firm, fine tannins that are slightly chewy, yet it shows length and focus. Needs time to open on the finish. Try after 2023.

La Lecciaia 2016 Lupaia Toscana
$15.99 – $132.00Tuscany Italy
A fine little super-Tuscan blend from Brunello producer La Lecciaia. Mainly Sangiovese with dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this opens with bold, earthy, aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry framed by notes of leather and crushed herb. Fleshy and full on the palate, where subtle spice notes join the bold dark fruit flavors. Finishes with zesty energy and fine tannins, making this fun to sip and a great choice for the classic Italian table. A lot of wine for the money!

La Lecciaia 2017 Rosso di Montalcino
$16.99 – $156.00Tuscany Italy
Rosso is imminently drinkable, with bright cherry, incense and smoky scents. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins and good acidity to complement the buoyant fruit. While this is totally enjoyable now, it will age nicely for the next seven years.

La Macchiole 2018 Paleo Rosso Bolgheri
$129.99 – $720.00Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
You could argue that this wine changed Italian wine, because it was the first to fully embrace the potential of Cabernet Franc in the bel paese. The Le Macchiole 2018 Paleo has a spicy and tangy personality with dark fruit, bitter chocolate and tarry smoke. Coming back to my open bottle 24 hours later, I got some green olive and rosemary essence. The mouthfeel fleshes out considerably, and there is beautiful structure to hold it firmly together. Other vintners in Bolgheri have told me of their difficulties with Cabernet Franc in the 2018 vintage, which saw rain toward the end of the season. This wine feels magically immune to those issues and probably means that the expert vineyard team harvested at the right moment.

The coppery-hued 2022 Les Cassagnes de la Nerthe Cotes du Rhone Rose features easygoing notes of ripe melon, plus hints of peaches and red berries. Medium-bodied, it's plump and nicely rounded without being overly broad, remaining clean, refreshing and harmonious on the finish.
