Just beginning to show its true colors. This one is very special. Classic Estate nose of black fruit, red cherry and tobacco. Bigger and broader and more generous than previous vintages due to naturally low yields, a perfectly warm vintage and increased concentration from fifteen-year-old vines. Supple and soft. Nothing out of place in this wine. It highlights the diatom structure with fine grain grit and forgiving, but long-lasting tannins. Almost decadent fruit, but it is held in check by earthy notes of porcini and dried herbs. Savory and refreshing. Dark and brooding, but absolutely buoyed by acidity and fresh verve. Sophisticated, sensual, complex and utterly delicious. A pinot noir that checks all of the boxes. Long race on the finish between silky dark fruit and a delicate dusting of tannin. Everything I could hope for in a glass. - Matt Dees, Winemaker

Winemaker Notes Piper-Heidsieck carefully selects fruit from more than 100 of Champagne's crus to blend the Cuvee 1785. This adds great complexity and dimension to the wine and allowed the bold Piper-Heidsieck style to shine through.

It also brings a delightful sparkle to a festive brunch or your favorite rich dessert. Blend: 55% Chardonnay, 40% Glera and 5% Malbec

The Jeio line is inspired by the influential Desiderio Bisol, whose wife lovingly referred to him as Jeio. The father of the current generation of Bisol, Desiderio was dedicated to product quality, acquiring only the steepest plots. While considerably more difficult to work, these plots are ideal for vine cultivation. As a result of his vision, the Glera cultivated in these vineyards is especially rich in malic acid, making the final wine more dynamic and evolved. Glera sourced for the Prosecco Brut comes from vineyards in the DOC area just outside Valdobbiadene, taking advantage of the altitude and unique character.

Winemaker Notes The Jeio DOC Rosé is the blend of Glera and Pinot Nero. It has a delicate pink color reminiscent of pink coral or a dream Venetian dawn characterized by a fine, creamy and persistent perlage. On the nose it releases refined notes of rose, lily of the valley, touches of fresh citrus fruit, a slight vinosity and is evocative of wild strawberries. On the palate it is fine, complex and inviting. It has great sapidity and is compact and pleasingly quaffable.

T A S T I N G N O T E S Fresh and lasting aromas, with signicant overtones of ripe golden apples, wild flowers and a subtle, delicate fragrance of yeast. On the palate, the wine is clean and balanced, with a slight and pleasant nish of ripe fruit and a hint of bread-crust. A sparkling wine of pronounced nesse. Perfect served as an aperitif or with lighter dishes, especially seafood.

Mionetto Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Wine offers the bubbly, celebratory feel of sparkling wine without the alcohol content. It's a great choice for those who want to enjoy a festive drink while staying alcohol-free.

Tasting Notes The cool 2019 vintage has plenty of natural freshness and certainly reflects the chalk soil of its vineyard with an assertive apple-fresh personality, complemented by a palate rounded and enriched by its extended time sur lie.

Winemaker Notes From the famed home of cool climate flavor intensity, Oyster Bay New Zealand Chardonnay is a delightful breath of fresh air and displays a style of its own.

Wine Spectator ws91 This white offers honeysuckle and toasted green tea notes, with a savory accent of Himalayan sea salt, backed by dried apricot, tangerine and ripe melon details. A touch of vetiver lingers on the finish. Drink now.

The Isabel Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp white wine from Marlborough, New Zealand, with vibrant notes that highlight the region's signature style. It's a refreshing choice for those who enjoy a lively and zesty glass of wine.

Winemaker Notes An intentionally restrained mineral core is layered with ripe citrus, flashes of tropical fruit and crushed thyme. The palate is vibrant with white nectarine, passionfruit coulis, and wraps up classically crisp and refreshing in true Marlborough style.

There's a raw mineral edge to the nose that complements the earthy spice, cranberry and raspberry fruit.

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The very young and juicy 2020 Evodia comes from a year with more rain than average and moderately warm temperatures that resulted in an early harvest of a generous crop that delivered wines of lower alcohol (14.5%) and more freshness. It fermented with some 20% full clusters and had a very soft vinification and extraction with no pump-overs. This is always very aromatic (it's what the name means), and in 2020 it's even paler and more ethereal then the 2019 that was already impressive and quite a change from previous vintages and other wines from the cooperative. Only 20% of the volume matured in oak and the wine is not oaky at all and has contained ripeness and very light extraction. This is bright and elegant, fresh and very pleasant to drink. Incredible for the price.

APPEARANCE Intense ruby colour, bright and clean. AROMA Outstanding aromas of red and black fruit, liquorice, ripeness nuances with spicy and pastry. TASTE Round, structured and elegant, with a pleasant fruity after-taste.

It fermented with around 40% full clusters (this has grown) in open-top vats and matured in Burgundy oak barrels, 18% of them new, for one year. It has 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.7. 2021 was a cooler year, and the wine shows it, even if the coastal part of Limarí cushions the effect of the warmer years (like 2020, which was a lot less warm here than in inland parts of Chile; I retasted the 2020 to check the evolution, which is great). It's crunchy and has the nervosity from the stems, floral, perfumed and elegant. It is textured and fresh, varietal, bright and young. Rating: 95+

The 2021 growing season started as a classic drought year, and what we thought would be an extremely early harvest. We had lower than average rainfall during the winter, and not a drop of rain from April through October. The arrival of more moderate weather in August and September, allowed us to wait for great flavor development. Although we had a later finish than we expected, the mid-October harvest end still qualifies as an early harvest. Our yields were lower, but the quality was incredible with lots of color, concentration, and beautiful aromatics.

94 Decanter In 2018, Andrea Costanti used fewer tonneaux than usual, opting instead for larger, less oxidative casks, a significant portion of which were new. This lends some oak nuances but doesn’t detract. Aromas of exotic spice, violet and chestnut are amplified by a touch of volatile acidity. Those dark purple floral notes carry through to the palate, which brags lovely weight with balanced proportions and mouthwatering, citrussy acidity. The tannins are weighing down the finish right now, but give this another year or so to come together and it should be a joy to drink.

Winemaker Notes This vintage is a bit closed on the nose at a young age, it needs to breathe in the glass to reach its rich aromatic complexity. It recalls the Mediterranean scrub and its essences, strawberry tree, juniper but also earthy and humus notes. Its complex nuances identify its belonging to the terroir of origin. In the mouth the tannins are perfectly integrated, and their maturity accompanies the natural length of the wine on the palate, where freshness and depth stay in the foreground. Excellent salinity, not intrusive, which gives good length and persistence to the nose. Pair with Bolognese and other meat sauce pastas, grilled pork and beef, and roasts. Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot

Winemaker Notes A rich and elegant Brunello, both in structure and in olfactory expression. Brilliant ruby red with garnet-colored reflections, on the nose the aroma is sweet and fruity, the hints of fresh red fruit stand out, which combine perfectly with the more complex notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. The structure is powerful, and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic texture, well balanced by a pleasant acidity. Extremely persistent with excellent aging potential. It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.

The olfactory complexity opens up to a tasting experience where power and balance coexist harmoniously. The tannins are well-integrated and soft, the body is full and enveloping, with a long and persistent finish that leaves impressions of fruit and sweet spices on the palate.

Tasting Notes “Ripe and crunchy dark berries with chocolate, leafy herbs, crushed walnut and licorice. Crushed stones, too. Medium-bodied with silky texture and a firm tannin structure. Succulent and vivid fruit character. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. Fresh and crunchy finish. Drink or hold.” James Suckling (12/7/2022)

94 Decanter Green peppercorns, menthol and sightly herbal aspects on the nose. Smooth and silky, a shot of bright high acidity with a balancing creamy touch to the texture. Tannins are barely there, but do give the frame which nicely carries the flavours. Really charming and fruity, great energy if not masses of weight and depth. Clean and precise fruit expression. A great effort in 2021.

Blueberry, mineral and floral character. Full and silky, with fine tannins and a long finish. Very well done for here.

From the very first nose, we're seduced by its fragrance of ripe, spicy red fruits, with the oak already perfectly integrated. Then on the palate, the wine has an impressive, silky and unctuous texture. The quality of the tannins is remarkable, as is the length on the palate, being both soft and quite fresh at the same time, despite the summer’s high temperatures. In the end, the only disappointment is the low volume produced, given the limited yields and drastic selection during blending. In fact, over 20% of the production was downgraded into a fourth selection which was sold in bulk. 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot

96 Wine Spectator Review Date: 03/2013 This takes the power of the vintage and puts it in its pocket for later, preferring instead to let mouthwatering briar, loganberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit strut its way forward, enlivened with roasted wood spice and supported by suavely but thoroughly embedded iron-tinged structure. Should cruise for two decades. Best from 2016 through 2035. *Top 100 Wines of 2013, No. 2* (JM)
