"Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens slowly on the nose to a core of wild blackberry and blueberry, revealing tones of forest floor, licorice, bitters and floral potpourri as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is soft and juicy with surprisingly concentrated flavors for its delicate frame, and it has a long,...

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley has layered aromas of pomegranate, cranberry and blackberry with nuances of cardamom, mushrooms and earth. The medium-bodied palate is silky and seamless. It has a concentrated core of spice- and earth-laced fruit and a long, nuanced finish. It's dangerously easy to drink without sacrificing nuance." 93, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate

" A tangy raspberry and pomegranate attack is followed by some ripe dark fruits wrapped in soft, open-knit tannins. Tenuta San Guido sources the Sangiovese for Le Difese from family friends in nearby Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina, but as a result of the widespread peronospora (downy mildew) in 2023, the percentage has dropped from 70% in 2022 to 65%...

Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate with lots of flavors rounded by filigreed tannins. Ripe, fleshy core of dark fruit in the middle. Long and broad. Already drinkable, but better from 2025." 95, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling

Ripe fruit with hints of baking spice and fresh herbs. Approachable yet bursting with juicy fruit, chocolate, and spice.

The minerality of the nose creates a delicate combination of morello and sour cherry and prune. Floral and spicy notes follow in a superbly persistent finish. The palate shows gentle tannins, impressive acidity combined with the classic delicacy and alcoholic content of Primitivo This is an elegant expression of this classic Puglian varietal.

"The 2022 Mongrana is a fun, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Bright red cherry fruit, spice, mint, tobacco and leather add layers of nuance. Floral and savory accents linger. There's a bit of dryness on the finish, but that's a small critique for a wine that offers so much value." Antonio Galloni, Vinous
