The 1963 Golden White Port (Dalva) is mostly a blend of Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and Rabigato, coming in at 130 grams per liter of residual sugar. This has been seen before, but this is the new 2017 bottling now in the USA. Not much has changed. This takes the gorgeous 1971 and adds some power, viscosity and intensity to it. It shows a little more complexity and it is burlier. It is often very much like a tawny in flavor. Taste this "white Colheita" blind and you may wonder if it is indeed white. It is still fresh and lifted, if not quite as bright and as youthful as the 1971. Overall, though, the added complexity seals the deal here, while the 1971 gets the nod for brightness. You slowly realize this does everything brilliantly. Which you prefer will be a matter of taste. I tend to emphasize complexity and my nod is to this, but I won't be surprised if some argue with me. The 1971 is pretty brilliant, too, if a bit more understated. This is another impressive White Port this issue from C. da Silva. Drink 2017-2040

A refined and pretty Sauternes with crushed apple, spice and dried pear character. Medium body with a fresh spice and intense finish at the end.

The 2022 Giraud is very beautiful. In this vintage, Giraud is not quite as rich as it can be, and yet it still offers notable depth and nuance. Spice, ginger, orange confit and apricot jam open nicely in a mid-weight Giraud that shows terrific energy.

This is a riot of fresh passion fruit and melon, really vibrant and intense. The palate is all crisp pear, apple and lighter tropical fruit. Drink now. Screw cap.

94 Wine Enthusiast

From the producer's high-elevation site, and blended with 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, this is an earthy and brooding red. Sage, cedar and dark berry fruit combine around polished tannin and notes of crushed rock and dark chocolate, finishing with a tease of spicy clove.

94 Decanter

A perfumed, fresh nose filled with violets, lavender, black currants. The palate is plush, dense and precise, finishing with a purity and deftness that is increasingly hard to find in Napa. Impressively ready to drink even at this young stage.

93 Wine Spectator

Vivid and expressive, with a lovely beam of plum, anise and boysenberry notes sailing through, flanked with sweet bay leaf and violet notes and carrying through the lengthy finish. This has the grip to cellar too, but approachable now for its vivacious fruit. Drink now through 2034. 1,800 cases made. (# 81 Top 100 Wines of 2021)

Pale in color, subtle aromas of Bosc pear, pineapple and citrus fruit show on the nose. The dry palate shows lemon, rose petals and raspberry, while a subtle minerality note marks the close.

A pretty, light-pink color in the glass. Light aromas, too, but clean and pleasant hints of wild strawberry and blood-orange come through on the palate. It remains light, but it’s balanced and rather charming. Super aperitif for the summer. Drink now.

"Powerful, concentrated wine, a very solid Cabernet-dominated wine. It has dark tannins, the black currant fruit still hiding in the background. Dark and dense, it's destined for good aging, at least over the next six years. -RV"

90 Wine Spectator

A young, snappy Pinot, featuring vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors highlighted by black tea and dusky spices. Finishes with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032. 23,000 cases made.

Peppery herbs and rose petals give way to crushed wild berries as the 2022 Pinot Noir slowly unfolds in the glass. This boasts a juicy, ripe red and blue fruit core accelerated by juicy acidity. It finishes spicy and unexpectedly fresh, leaving hints of tart raspberry that add a pleasant, cheek-puckering tension.

90 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

The 2021 Malbec Clásico Made with Organic Grapes is 75% from Luján de Cuyo and 25% from the Uco Valley. A mild purple color. The bold aromas feature plum and notes of spice, herbs and mint. On the palate, it has good grip and acidity with a degree of structure and moderate fat. A juicy, flavorful wine.

93 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2012 Viña Bosconia Reserva is perhaps a little too young (María José López de Heredia likes more polished wines, and for her this wine was too tough), with some tannins and the chalky texture from the limestone soils. This blend of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacho and 5% between Graciano and Mazuelo matured in used American oak barrels for five years. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.

Loads of upfront blackberry, dark currant, plum and candied cherry fruits and a richly tannic mouth feel that excites lovers of this varietal and also is backed up with hints of leather, toasty oak, dark chocolate, licorice, crushed violets and dried lavender accents. While 2016s have plenty of grip, they are starting to reveal a nice supple full bodied palate that delivers a hedonistic physical pleasure and lingering creamy aftertaste and this inky purple Petite is delicious and at its best with hearty meat dishes.
