2019 SanCarlo Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino Jeb Dunnuck: 97 Points A more saturated ruby color compared to 2018, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino opens to notes of blood orange, balsamic herbs, ripe blackberries, candied licorice, and lavender. Quite compelling, it more closely resembles the estate’s 2015 than their 2016, with a more robust feel. Offering rich velvety tannins, good mineral undertones, and a clean finish, it’s more full-bodied, with a long finish, and has wonderful freshness throughout. Drink 2027-2047. $54.95 Buy Now! |

2021 Shea Wine Cellars "Estate" Pinot Noir Int'l Wine Review: 94 Points
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
IWR: The 2021 Shea Estate Pinot Noir is still incredibly young but absolutely gorgeous and sports a medium neon ruby core with a blueish rim. Red raspberry, candied rose petals, crushed sour red cherries, milk chocolate, whole clove, and saline jump from the glass. Lush across the palate and very well balanced, it’s ready to drink now and will be fantastic over the next 8 years.
