Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier - 2016	2016	90	Apr-2020
Review “Fresh plum, cherry and red licorice flavors show an herbal edge, with rye toast and a dash of marmalade. The tannins are thick and appealing, lingering on the finish, accented by whiffs of smoke, sandalwood and black tea. Shiraz and Viognier.”
Vasse Felix - Pull That Cork	Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon	2016		Apr-2020
Review “Medium ruby in the glass with red fruit, cedar and roasted jalapeño aromas. Flavors of red currents, raspberries and blackberries are supported by dusty earth and dried herbs. The finish is medium in length with drying tannins in a medium body. The background notes of roasted jalapeño and dried herbs are very appealing blended with the red fruit character of this wine and not at all overwhelming. It’s easy sipping on its own, but pairs well with food as you would expect.”
Ktima Pavlidis - Wine Enthusiast	EMPHASIS Assyrtiko	2016	87	Apr-2020
Review “This wine offers a rich lemon and white-flower nose. On the palate, there’s a complexity of fresh citrus fruit, vanilla and cigar smoke, but all balanced by lifted acidity and a pleasing chalky finish.”
Secondo Marco - Wine Enthusiast	Valpolicella Classico DOC	2016	88	Apr-2020
Review “Aromas of dark berry and graphite emerge from the glass. The savory palate offers blackberry jam, clove and tobacco alongside smooth tannins.”
Anwilka Vineyards - Wine Advocate	Red Blend	2016	91+	Mar-2020
Review “Bursting from the glass, the 2016 Anwilka has elegant oak tones that play with a juicy fruit structure. Dark cherry, blackberry and plums all dance with mocha tones and oak spices that integrate seamlessly together. The wine is full-bodied on the palate, with a ripe attack of bold, concentrated fruit and a balanced structure with grippy tannins that hang on the gumline, leaving flavors of bitter dark chocolate and coffee bean. Ending with a long, drawn-out finish, it continues to evolve on the palate long after the wine has left the mouth. This is a serious wine for collectors.”
Klein Constantia - Wine Advocate	Vin De Constance	2016	94	Mar-2020
Review “Lucious tones of apricot, dried nectarine, honey and spiced orange syrup with subtle tones of cinnamon all beg for your attention on the nose of the 2016 Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Wine. The wine is rich and dense on the palate, expanding and unfolding, showing layers of depth and breadth across the mid-palate. It's perfectly sweet with the precision and balance to counter the acidity, so you can continue to drink it throughout the night. The finish is long and thoughtful and continues to evolve on the palate, leaving a viscous layer, flopping back and forth between flavors of honey, orange marmalade and apricot paste. I see blue cheese or crème brûlée as a beautiful pairing for this wine.”
Prager - Wine Advocate	Grüner Veltliner Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd	2016	95	Mar-2020
Review “The 2016 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein displays an intense golden-yellow color and opens with a coolish, deep and clear, very elegant and aromatic bouquet that is typical of the variety and Wachau but with coolish white fruits intermixed with subtly floral and flinty-crystalline aromas. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, very elegant, fine and aromatic, vital and salty-mineral, quiet, balanced and flowing wine with ripe William pear flavors, a crunchy skin and refreshing fruit character, thanks to a higher share of malic acidity. A gorgeous wine yet not as tight and complex as the 2018. Tasted in Weissenkirchen/Wachau in September 2019.”
Prager - Wine Advocate	Grüner Veltliner Ried Zwerithaler Kammergut Smaragd	2016	95	Mar-2020
Review “The 2016 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Ried Zwerithaler is very clear, pure and flinty on the deep and coolish nose. Macerated for four hours and kept on the lees until February, this is a juicy, dense and round, silky-textured and elegant Veltliner with lingering salinity and a tensioned yet finessed finish. Very precise and coolish—a great 2016. Tasted at the domain in September 2019.”
Domaine Nico - Oregon Live	Le Paradis	2016		Mar-2020
Review “Made from grapes grown in the Alto Gualtallary region. With a suggested retail price of $350, it occupies air as rarefied as anything the Andes has to offer.”
Vitiano - The Social NY	Rosso Umbria IGP	2016		Mar-2020
Review “Vitiano wines are fresh, fruit-forward, and perfect for everyday enjoyment with friends and family. The Rosso involves a blend of equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sangiovese. It highlights aromas of plums and black cherry jam. The smooth tannins and freshness on the palate make it exceptionally food-friendly.”
