2022 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Christy Canterbury, New Wine Review, June 2023

“Super aromatic, this smells of tangerine peel, blood orange, nectarine core and spring jasmine. The palate is firm and crisp but not cuttingly dry. The plump, mid-weight palate has plenty of fruit to buffer the precise structure. Juicy from start to lengthy finish, this is layered in perfumes and flavors. It may be polarizing for its exuberant aromatics, but its intensity, dryness and well-rounded structure are impressive.”

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs

Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, April 2023

“Disgorged in 2022, the latest release of the Charles Heidsieck NV Blanc de Blancs is elaborated with 30% of reserve wines, of which 10% to 12% are aged in old barrels. It has a captivating bouquet with aromas of honeysuckle, lemon oil, citrus, peach, tangerine and delicate hints of pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round and creamy, layered and elegant palate that finishes with chalky and brioche notes. A little time in the cellar will be more than profitable.”

2022 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Aaron Romano, Wine Spectator, January 2023

“A textbook Torrontés, showing geranium, peach and Meyer lemon aromas up front, this picks up rich candied orange peel and juicy peach notes, which have just enough acidity to keep the floridness in check. Drink now. 12,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.””

2020 Colomé El Arenal Malbec

Jesica Vargas, Wine Enthusiast, July 2023

“This wine comes from Payogasta in the Calchaquí Valleys, at 8,530 feet. Grapes at this altitude endure intense sunlight and diurnal temperature variation. Dried cherry, strawberry jam and hints of chalk fill the nose of this Malbec. A good structure holds plum, blackberry and strawberry. It finishes with smoke and herbaceous notes”

2019 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge

Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, October 2020

“Leading off the 2019s from bottle, the entry-level 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bernardine (80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre) offers a Provençal, spicy, morello cherry, and garrigue-scented perfume to go with a medium to full-bodied, ripe yet also savory style on the palate. Drink it over the coming decade.”

2021 Donnafugata Sherazade

Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, May 2023

“The Donnafugata 2021 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Sherazade offers a fresh, mid-weight style with an abundance of cherry and purple fruits. Nero d'Avola reflects a sense of place, and don't be surprised if you pick up aromas of roasted Sicilian eggplant or toasted fennel seeds. This is an entry-level red made without oak, but it makes a fine partner to Italian take-out dinners or pizza. Actually, pair it with a Sicilian caponata. This is a big but well-priced production of 160,000 bottles.”
