Tua Rita - Wine Review Online	Perlato del Bosco Toscana IGT	2016	93	Apr-2020
Review “Perlato del Bosco shows the broad talents at Tua Rita. They make the Redigaffi Super Tuscan (and Super Priced) Merlot as well as the bargain-priced and delicious Rosso dei Notri. Here’s Perlato del Bosco, a marvelous wine made entirely from Sangiovese and displaying a completely different profile. It is a cut above their excellent Rossi dei Notri, but a similar bargain for what it delivers. It has the lovely firmness and black cherry-like nuances characteristics of Sangiovese, yet paradoxically, it is suave. Elegant, fresh and long, it has a subtle alluring bitterness in the finish. It’s a glorious current choice for grilled steak of lamb chops.”
Tua Rita - Wine Review Online	Rosso dei Notri Toscana IGT	2017	91	Apr-2020
Review “Tua Rita, best known for their show-stopping monovarietal Merlot called Redigaffi that routinely sells at release for $300+, makes two other wines consumers should embrace. This one, a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, should be in everyone’s cellar. It won’t stay there long because it’s delicious to drink now. It delivers a beautiful balance of fruity and savory flavors. Suave and fresh, it finishes with a lovely hint of bitterness, which makes it a perfect choice for a rich tomato-based sauce for pasta. It’s a great bargain. Stock up for your next two weeks of quarantine.”
Château Batailley - Wine Review Online	Pauillac	2017	94	Mar-2020
Review “Floral, complex fruit aromas, fine tannins, good length, excellent potential.”
Valdipiatta - Wine Review Online	Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG	2016		Feb-2020
Review “Again, the acidity that characterizes good Tuscan reds, is what enabled this wine to hold together and enhance the dish. The dusty, dry flavors only added to its appeal.”
Grattamacco - Wine Review Online	Grattamacco Vermentino	2017	95	Nov-2019
Review “I know, 50 bucks for a Vermentino? But this is no regular Vermentino. It’s a captivating, stop-you-in-your-tracks kind of wine. Grattamacco, founded in 1977, was the second winery, after Sassicaia, in what’s now the Bolgheri DOC. They planted Vermentino in addition to Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese and now claim to have the oldest Vermentino vines in Bolgheri, which probably accounts, at least in part, for the wine’s splendor. It delivers an extraordinary combination of mineral-like salinity, the signature of Vermentino, and an alluring hint of creaminess. A touch of spice and the verve in the finish amplifies its charms. Long and vigorous, this is refined wine. And is it fun to drink because nuances emerge with each sip.”
Il Marroneto - Wine Review Online	Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto	2014	90	Feb-2019
Review "More fruit-focused than mineral-y, but still conveys enough dark Brunello quality. Firm, not hard, tannins. Lovely now. Fresh, fruity, fine finish.”

- Wine Review Online	Radici Fiano di Avellino DOCG	2015	93	Aug-2018
Review “While Fiano is grown practically everywhere in southern Italy, it’s most famous in the Campania appellation of Fiano di Avellino DOCG. This wine is like lemon sunshine radiating from the glass. Vibrant and mineral-driven, it offers a slightly chalky palate with a medium body and a touch of nuttiness on the finish.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Review Online	Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec	2015	92	May-2018
Review “The Malbec from La Consulta could redefine the image of wine made from that grape. Not just big and ripe, this Malbec is lively and racy with appealing smoky nuances. Though it displays Malbec’s smooth tannins, it is far fresher compared to Lunlunta. Not ponderous, it handles its power well. The La Consulta vineyard is higher – 3,600 feet – compared to Lulunta’s 2,800 feet, but the yield from the two vineyards is vastly different, so it’s hard to know precisely why the wines differ so much. But what is clear and fascinating is that this pair demonstrate Malbec’s spectrum and that where you grow the grapes does matter.”
