Susana Balbo 2023 Signature Brioso Red Single Vineyard
Price range: $39.99 through $216.00

Mendoza Argentina
Wine Advocate 94 Rating
A more classically informed example from the Susana Balbo portfolio, the 2023 Brioso draws on their high-density planting established in Agrelo in 1999. Savory aromas of graphite and gravel mingle with a lush backdrop of dark fruits and discreetly toasted undertones, followed by a rich, sumptuous mouthfeel that retains definition and poise. It concludes with a textured, layered finish that lingers with supple tannins and a well-defined mineral core. The blend is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Petit Verdot, 14% Malbec and 12% Cabernet Franc, entirely destemmed and aged for 15 months in used barrels.

Susana Balbo 2023 Signature Malbec
Price range: $29.99 through $150.00

Mendoza Argentina
Natalie MacLean 95 Rating
Susana Balbo Signature is a medium-plus-bodied Malbec from the Uco Valley, Mendoza, with a firm weight and dry profile, best served at room temperature. Winemaker Susana Balbo crafts this unfined and unfiltered wine from high-elevation vineyards, offering ripe black fruits, cassis, warming spice, and cocoa flavours with a fresh, generous palate and supportive tannins. At 14.5% alcohol, it has strong aging potential through 2030, developing more complexity over time. Pair it with a meat lover’s pizza to highlight its dark fruit, or a spiced lamb or sausage dish to complement its richness and structure. This wine exemplifies Uco Valley Malbec with mountain freshness and elegant concentration.

Symposium 2022 Bordeaux Supérieur
Price range: $15.99 through $84.00

Bordeaux France
Enjoyabilityfactor 90 Rating
The soil of the vines is silicate and clay with pebbles in the subsoil. The vines are at least 25 years old. The grapes are selected at the sorting table with 100% destemming. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 28 and 30°C for 8 to 10 days, followed by an additional maceration of approximately 25 days, and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 6 months in oak barrels, 50% in new barriques and 50% in used barriques. The Symposium is deep dark. On the nose, it offers abundant fruit and a richness of fresh red berries such as cherries, some plums, and blackberries, with a light spiciness. The palate is flattering, maintaining the pronounced fruit at the forefront. But the Bordeaux freshness and the tannins are noticeable and very well integrated. A blend of 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Malbec.

Taittinger 2014 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs
$249.99

Champagne France
Vinous 97 Rating
The 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams per liter.
