Wilfred Wong, Wilfred Wong, June 2023
“The 2019 Luke Cabernet Sauvignon is tight-knit and persistent on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of mineral notes, savory spices, and blackberries. Try it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye.”

2021 Isole e Olena Chardonnay Toscana IGT
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, October 2023
“The Isole e Olena 2021 Chardonnay Collezione Privata has a very citrusy side with grapefruit and preserved lemon. Those fresh aromas cede to hints of cinnamon and saffron, but the overall style is reductive in character. This is a medium-bodied white wine that delivers nice richness and salty mineral tones on the close. You get a lot of character with this Tuscan Chardonnay. However, the wine needs time to take on more weight and texture.Verging on creamy, this white features floral, peach, apple and baking spice aromas and flavors. Crisp, persisting on the finish with intensity and length. Drink now through 2027. 200 cases imported.”

2014 Piper-Heidsieck Vintage Brut
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2022
“A perfectly mature Champagne, this is just ready to drink. Fresh fruits contrast with the mature toastiness. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay gives texture plus minerality in harmony. Drink this fine wine now”

Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Extra Brut
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, November 2023
“Based on the 2018 vintage and Emelien's first vintage as the chef de cave, the NV Champagne Essentiel Extra Brut is 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay, with 27% reserve wine. It’s aged for four years prior to release with 4 grams per liter dosage. A brilliant pale yellow hue, the NV Champagne Essentiel Extra Brut is fresh and inviting, with a rounded and floral profile, offering pure notes of orange blossoms, fresh brioche, and fresh peach, It reveals a pure, ripe character on the palate, with a rounded mouthfeel, a pillowy mousse, balanced notes of grapefruit citrus, and a touch of warmth from the vintage. A very attractive wine, it will certainly have the potential to age over the coming 10 years”

2021 Donnafugata Ben Ryé
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, December 2023
“This wine is light copper in both color and aroma, as yellow peaches and dried apricots play with varied orange notes on the nose. On the palate, the stone fruit and citrus continue glowing, before a warm, honeyed, almost syrupy finish that recalls a beeswax candle.”

2020 Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, January 2023
“This vivid red delivers telltale Sangiovese notes of iron, sanguine and tobacco that seep into a core of cherry and raspberry. Turns sleeker and more focused on the finish, where the fruit, mineral and savory elements converge.”
