2019 Luke Columbia Valley "The Companion" Red Blend
Washington Post, January 2022
“...the wines are delicious. Luke specializes in deep, savory reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The Companion red blend combines all three, with Cabernet taking the leading role. Expect dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, sprinkled with coffee dust. The Syrah gives the wine a rugged sensibility with grippy tannins carrying the finish...”

2019 Ricasoli Colledilà Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, June 2022
“Distinctly savory, this red delivers grassy, thyme and menthol aromas and flavors allied to cherry, strawberry and loam. Angular and dense, with the fruit component emerging with air. Deftly balanced and complex, this is long and reveals an aftertaste of cherry, berry, mineral and herbal accents. Best from 2025 through 2043. From Italy.”

2019 Ricasoli Roncicone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, June 2022
“This spicy red is introduced with a blast of bright cherry fruit, along with strawberry, currant, eucalyptus and tobacco notes. Reveals an underlying mineral element, and dusty tannins present on the finish. All the components are there. Best from 2025 through 2043. ”

2019 Ricasoli Roncicone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2022
“The aromas and structure to this single vineyard Chianti Classico are something else this year. The orange-peel, meat and cherry aromas are lifted and spirited. It’s medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins that are dusty and fine-grained. Structured and sturdy with a granite-like presence. Try after 2025, but impressive to taste.”

2019 Ricasoli CeniPrimo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
James Suckling, James Suckling, January 2022
“This has an intensely perfumed nose of lavender, sandalwood, dried cherries, blueberries, creme de cassis, bay leaves, walnuts and stones. Full-bodied with polished, well-integrated tannins and a layered, silky and concentrated core of spiced and herbed fruit. Long. Intense. Fantastic already, but better in 2026.”

2019 Ricasoli CeniPrimo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, June 2022
“Super spicy from the aromas through the finish, this red is sleek and taut. Features strawberry, currant, cherry and earth flavors, peppery spices and a kick of vanilla on the firm finish. Though delicate, there is no lack of intensity. Best from 2025 through 2042. From Italy.”

2017 Donnafugata Lighea
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, December 2018
“You absolutely cannot go wrong with a refreshing value white such as this. The 2017 Sicilia Lighea is a pure expression of the Zibibbo grape otherwise known as Muscat of Alexandria. Perfect for appetizers or finger foods, this dry white wine shows fragrant aromas of honey, star jasmine and summer peach. The finish is lean and crisp.”

2018 Donnafugata Lighea
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2019
“The 2018 Sicilia Lighea is a pure expression of Sicily's beloved Zibibbo grape that is otherwise known as Muscat of Alexandria. This is a dry wine; however, there is just enough of that bright floral intensity to remind you of the fragrant nature of this grape that is often used to make dessert wines such as Passito di Pantelleria. The bouquet delivers jasmine and sweet honeysuckle with some soapy perfume notes at the back. This unoaked wine is crisp, lean and simple in terms of mouthfeel. Some 180,000 bottles were made.”
