Tua Rita - Jamessuckling.com	Redigaffi Toscana IGT	2018	98	Jun-2020
Review “Lots of chocolate and berries, as well as spice, walnuts and vanilla. It’s full and layered. Extremely long and flavorful. So juicy and sexy. Luscious is the word. Opulent with polish and presence. Chewy at the end. Brightness and energy here.”
Citra - Wine Enthusiast	Citra Merlot Terre di Chieti IGP	2018	85	Jun-2020
Review “Mild aromas of cherry and blackberry are lifted by an herbal menthol note. There’s a nice roundness to the palate, with vibrant acidity and a gentle grip of tannins lending support.” (Best Buy)
Tua Rita - Wine Advocate	Redigaffi Toscana IGT 2018	2018	95-97	May-2020
Review “Born from the estate’s oldest Merlot vines, the Tua Rita 2018 Redigaffi is a phenomenal achievement. Thanks to the long growing season that allowed the grapes ample time to ripen, this edition shows impressive depth and intensity of flavors. Black cherry, plum and sweet baking and barbecue spice are dosed carefully, but generously. The main attraction here is the mouthfeel, which achieves richness, plush softness and concentration in a most natural and convincing manner. The wine is absolutely seamless from start to its very long finish, and its playlist of positive attributes endures for as long as there is wine in the bottle. With so many successful vintages behind it, Redigaffi is a wine that nails its primary objectives year after year. In that sense, it is extremely reliable and consistent. This is one of the icon wines of Italy, although its sibling, the Syrah Per Sempre, strikes a more profound chord in my heart. Dare I say it; Redigaffi is the Prince William and Per Sempre is the Prince Harry of Tuscan wine.”
Falesco - Tuscan Vines	Montiano Merlot Lazio IGP	2009	93	May-2020
Review “At 11 years of age, it’s still a dark purple color. We decanted the wine to remove a substantial coffee grind like sediment. On the nose, the wine is redolent of black fruit aromas along with lavender, blue flowers, vanilla and ground coffee. In the mouth, the flavors echo the nose with a round texture that is plump but with enough acidity to keep the wine fresh. The long finish is tinged with cured meat and mint. Montiano is fermented in stainless steel and then aged for 12 months in French barrique before release. Despite its age, this has plenty of life left. Drink now or over the next 3-4 years.”
Lapostolle - JancisRobinson.com	Cuvée Alexandre Merlot	2000		Mar-2020
Review “Time was when you could buy this French producer’s sumptuous Cuvée Alexandre for this price (it is now almost double) but this wine is still fair value for those who love Pomerol but not its prices. The Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay 2000 is one of Chile’s best Chardonnays.”
Croix Canon - Vinous	Croix Canon Saint Émilion Grand Cru	2017	92	Mar-2020
Review “Just as it was from barrel, the 2017 Croix Canon is fabulous. The Franc is especially showy today in the wine's strong aromatic presence. Deep, fleshy and totally seductive, the 2017 is just fabulous. Black cherry, chocolate, spice and licorice build into the racy, voluptuous finish. Readers who can find the 2017 when it is released in another year or two should not hesitate, as it is truly delicious.”
Lapostolle - Tim Atkin, MW	Cuvée Alexandre Merlot	2015	91	Mar-2020
Review “Produced in the ripe, plush style that has helped to make international consultant Michel Rolland what he is today, this is concentrated and full-bodied with firmish tannins, well-judged oak and flavours of mulberry, prune and black fig.”
Falesco - Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri Awards	Montiano Merlot Lazio IGP	2017		Jan-2020
Review Winner in the Lazio category.
Tua Rita - Decanter	Redigaffi Toscana IGT	2016	100	Dec-2019
Review “2016 was an exceptional vintage in Tuscany and, according to Stefano, the best in 20 years. The cool night temperatures allowed for beautifully precise aromatics and perfectly ripe, harmonious tannins. This wine expresses the vintage beautifully and is the best Redigaffi I have tasted – simply stunning! Complex and tightly wound, it carries its 15% alcohol really well. There are hints of roasted coffee beans and green herbs on the nose, while the palate is super-concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with very fine-textured tannins. Blackcurrant, smoky plum and liquorice flavours are joined by a lovely freshness. A beauty.”
Falesco - Jamessuckling.com	Tellus Merlot Umbria IGT - 2017	2017	91	Nov-2019
Review “Dark plums and dark cherries and mulberries follow through to a soft, tender palate that’s medium in body and spicy and herb-flavored. Medium-chewy on the finish.”
