2021 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2022
“The 2021 Bianco Anthilia is sweetly scented with notes of green melon, minty herbs and almond paste. It soothes with silky textures, as a tantalizing burst of citrus and saline-tinged acids add energy and verve. While a bit short, the 2021 leaves the palate completely refreshed and aching for more. The Anthilia is composed primarily of Lucido (Catarratto), along with other indigenous varieties.”

2021 Laurenz V. Singing Grüner Veltliner
James Suckling, James Suckling, January 2023
“A fresh and juicy modern gruner veltliner with plenty of bright citrus and yellow apple fruit that’s easy to enjoy, but has plenty of zesty depth and an attractive balance at the surprisingly long finish. Sustainable. ”

2021 Laurenz V. Friendly Grüner Veltliner
James Suckling, James Suckling, January 2023
“The attractive nose of mandarin orange and white peach, with just a whiff of pepper, pulls you into this juicy, generous and well-balanced modern gruner veltliner. Clean and zesty finish pulls you back for more. Sustainable. ”

2016 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec
Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2019
“The ripe 2016 Altura Máxima Malbec seems to follow the path of the 2015, with pungent aromas of black olives, damp earth, decayed violets and malted cereals that give it a decadent profile. This hits the scale at 15% alcohol, but the palate feels a lot lighter, with a strong strike of acidity going through its core and lifting it up. This is a unique wine from grapes grown at 3,100 meters in altitude (yes, you read it correctly, that's 3,100 meters in altitude!) where the intensity of the light makes for thick skins and an explosion of flavors and aromas. The tannins are really fine and polished and give it a nice texture. It's clean and long and feels light but with lots of inner strength. A unique Malbec. 8,400 bottles were filled in August 2018”

2015 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec
Corey Warren, Wine & Spirits, June 2022
“Donald Hess planted his Altura Máxima vineyard in 2007 at a dizzying 10,207 feet above sea level. Perhaps that’s why it takes this malbec takes time to emerge from hiding, though it’s saline from start to finish. After two days open, its structure is broad, and though the flavors are restrained (a smoky umeboshi plum note), the austerity called to mind a salt flat. The tannins seem to cluster in the center of your tongue, and would be nice with char-grilled chicken thighs.”

2020 Amalaya Malbec
Corey Warren, Wine & Spirits, June 2022
“Olive salinity and black-currant flavors make this malbec and its burly tannins a straightforward match for steak.”

2020 Bibi Graetz Colore Rosso
James Suckling, James Suckling, July 2022
“The subtlety and perfumed nature of this wine is enchanting, offering flowers, orange peel and cherries. Wonderful ripe strawberries, too. Full-bodied, but not over the top, with tannins that are polished and run the length of the wine. It’s tight, but gives you every indication of a terrific wine. You want to drink it now, and you probably should do, because it’s so alluring. Yet it will age beautifully as well. Drink or hold.”

2020 Bibi Graetz Colore Rosso
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, June 2022
“The Bibi Graetz 2020 Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese all sourced from old vines that are carefully selected in various parts of Tuscany. Much of the fruit comes from a high elevation and cool site in Lamole, or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli or Vincigliata near Fiesole. A small percentage of old vines in Olmo is also used. Bibi has a preference for old vines, and you can taste the lovely depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore. Compared to his other wine Testamatta, this wine has seen fewer stylistic changes over the years, and the goal has always been elegance and finesse. Colore boasts a pretty luminous quality with dark fruit aromas and wild berry. There are hints of licorice and mint as well. Mineral flavors and bright acidity are what set Colore apart.”
