    Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels. The 70% of the wine is aged for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd use French oak barrels of 225 liters. It then rests in the bottle for 6 months. Deep in color with purple hues and very bright. Great varietal typicity and spices are appreciated. It is a wine with an expressive center of mouth. Great balance and complexity from the oak ageing. It is deep and elegant, so it persists in the mouth and has a long finish.

    An alluring array of blackberry, black cherry and violet aromas introduces this supple, elegant red. Spice, mineral and tobacco elements emerge, along with firm, refined tannins, but this is all about the pure fruit. Shows terrific harmony and length. Sangiovese. Best from 2022 through 2040. SP46-6

    With 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne, the 2024 Grenache Blanc spends eight months in five-year-old barrels, able to retain crisp acidity on the lengthy, textured palate, the grapes sourced from such great local sites as Adelaida, Fossil Creek, and Halter Ranch. Apricot shines bright amidst a floral jasmine character that’s impressively inviting, balanced, and enduringly fresh. Drink now through 2030.

    This wine sports a vivacious and floral nose, with tropical pineapple and jasmine aromas. Juicy but broad, the palate showcases apple jam, quince paste and honeysuckle flavors before a long, marzipan-scented finish. Absolutely delicious.

    Lush aromas of Damson plums, blackcurrants and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mocha, blueberry bush, graphite and licorice. Well balanced and textural. Drink or hold. R32-3

    Flint and cashew aromas get a vibrant lift from the lemon and lime curd aromas on this highly classy-yet-approachable Chard from one of New Zealand’s most famous brands. Similarly, the palate feels open and complete, with lovely texture and acidity zhuzhing up the grilled stone fruit and spice flavors flowing to a long finish. Drink now with roasted chicken or mushroom or cellar for several more years.

    Enticing scents of ripe wild berry, star anise, menthol and fragrant blue flower mingle with whiffs of camphor and espresso. The smooth, precise palate offers crushed raspberry, Marasca cherry, licorice and dried botanical herbs alongside fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity lifts the finish. Enjoy through 2027.

    Wine Advocate 94+ Rating 
    The Tenuta di Trinoro 2023 Le Cupole hits its marks squarely, delivering luxurious quality at a highly accessible price point. The blend of 41% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot shows dark fruit flavors of blackberry framed by velvety richness that spreads broadly across the palate. Crafted from the same high-elevation Val d’Orcia vineyards as the estate’s flagship wines, Le Cupole benefits from the same rigorous selection and low-yield philosophy. The 2023 tannins are especially well managed, giving the wine a more approachable personality.

    From a very difficult year, the 2017 Champagne Vintage Rose is co-fermented from a blend made at harvest time. It pours a pristine bright salmon color and shimmers in the glass, offering notes of peaches, fresh berries, white pepper, and Mirabel. The palate has surprisingly good tension and lovely focus. A superb and more gastronomic wine, it has a hint of warmth, but it is more the spice that comes through. Drink 2025-2045.
