The 2022 La Casilla blends grapes from limestone soils with 20% each from limestone and clay and covered by boulders à la Châteauneuf. It fermented in oak vat and matured in those vats and 600-liter barrels for nine months. It has a spicy and smoky twist from the wood, which gives it a slightly more commercial profile, to make it different from P.F. It's young and undeveloped, still a little raw, in need of a few more months in bottle but with a fresh palate, balsamic and long. 14,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.

The wine's name derives from the eight-year noncompete agreement originator Dave Phinney signed when selling his brand The Prisoner. A Zinfandel-based blend, the 2022 Red Blend 8 Years in the Desert kicks off with briary, blackberry-like notions, plus hints of peppery spice and vanilla. It's full-bodied and flavorful but falls away a bit on the mid-palate, then finishes soft and gently dusty.

The 2021 Chianti Classico Bramosia offers a lovely mix of pliant fruit and translucent energy. Dark red cherry, spice, leather, incense and tobacco all meld together in an effortless, gracious Chianti Classico that delivers the goods.

93 Wine Enthusiast

This big but balanced wine is packed with vivid green apple, Bosc pear and Danish pastry flavors on a full body and creamy texture. An element of lemon zest and tangy apricot chimes in as you sip, providing a mouthwatering tang.

97 Decanter

Focused herbal, wild black fruit and tobacco nose. The youthful palate is poised and approachable with a soft texture, high tannins and brisk acidity. It has an intensity of flavour in the mouth and an energetic, impressively long, finish. A very accomplished expression of Graciano. The value here is superb!

Ruby grapefruit, passion fruit and pineapple flavors are generous, aromatic and juicy, with a touch of freshly grated ginger. Drink now. 10,500 cases made, 9,000 cases imported.

95 Wine Enthusiast

"A big and powerful wine, with tannins that are compact and dense. The dryness of the tannins go right to the core, surrounded by chocolate, sweet fruit and dark berry flavors. The wine is well structured, big and bold, with plenty of firmness promising aging."

95 Charles Curtis MW - Decanter

Shows more red fruit than black with a hint of smoke, leather and game. The texture is lively and fresh. It is somewhat shorter than Latour can be, but not overly so. This is one to drink while waiting for other recent vintages to open up. The overcast, lukewarm weather in 2007 delivered a wine with less intensity and power than other recent vintages, but one that drinks agreeably well at this earlier stage. Merlot was picked beginning 21st September and the Cabernets from 4th October.

The NV Brut Grande Cuvée(100% Pinot Noir) is a very good wine with bright fresh aromatics. This mid-weight Champagne from Moutard delivers the goods. Lemon peel, white flowers, crushed rocks, mint and slate lend pretty flavorful top notes. This is a fine value in the realm of grower Champagne. The current release is based on 2017, with 30% reserve wines blended in. Dosage is 10 grams per liter.

Cranberries, red currants, sour cherries and orange zest on the nose, with hints of licorice. Bright and fruit forward, with excellent tension too, and tight, fine-grained tannins. It’s medium-bodied, sleek and fresh. Drink now or hold.

92 Wine Spectator

Luxurious and rich, yet pinpoint in focus, with expressive apple and strawberry flavors highlighted by brioche, ginger and spices. Drink now. 11,250 cases made.
