Howard Park - Wine Enthusiast	Flint Rock Shiraz	2016	90	Aug-2020
Review “This Howard Park wine, from the cool-climate Great Southern region, is dubbed Syrah rather than Shiraz, to denote a fresher, more medium-bodied style. The Rhône influence is also present in the form of meat, dried roses, raspberry and cherry preserves, baked clay and a prominent but not overwhelming spiced oak note. The toasty barrel and alcohol can be felt a bit more on the palate, but there’s also plenty of delicate fruit and floral notes, gripped firmly by fine tannins.”
Yalumba - Jamessuckling.com	Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz	2016	96	Jun-2020
Review “A very youthful vintage, this is taut and will age very well. Aromas of blackcurrants, tar, blackberries and baking spices lead to a palate that has such an intense, gently smoky thread with a succulent, juicy red-plum, berry and spice finish. Light espresso. Super long-aging Signature here.”
Zenato - Cape Gazette	Alanera Rosso Veronese IGT	2016		Jun-2020
Review “Zenato produced a tasty Alanera Rosso Veronese 2016 for $17. Look for cherries, cigar box and an earthy wine with oak and leather hints.”
Zenato - Cleveland.com	Alanera Rosso Veronese IGT	2016		Jun-2020
Review “This tastes more like a very good Merlot, with notes of cassis, basil, blackberry and tobacco. It has a long, pleasant, soft herbal finish. Great value. “Alanera” translates as “black wing,” which is a reference to the ravens – “corvo” in Italian – on the label. It’s also a hat tip to the Valpolicella region’s indigenous grape, Corvina.”
Tasca d'Almerita - Wine Spectator	Lamùri Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC	2016	92	Jun-2020
Review “I love the sweet, floral and mulberry nose of this succulent Nero d’Avola. The gentle tannins creep up on you at the finish, making it even more delicious. Good length and food compatibility.”
Lapostolle - The Drunken Cyclist	Cuvée Alexandre Carmenere	2016	89-91	Jun-2020
Review “From one of the larger producers in Chile, the Cuvée Alexandre line always delivers. Dark in the glass, as one would expect, with blackberry, cassis, and a vegetal aspect that is more reminiscent of Cab Franc than Carmenere. The palate is fairly luscious and inviting with rich fruit, good tartness, and subtle tannins. Yum.” (89-91 points, Very Good to Excellent)
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Spectator Insider	Zarihs	2016	93	Jun-2020
Review “This red marries the ripe fruit and toasty oak of the international style with a savory, rustic character. A thick, polished texture, supported by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity, carries dark plum, black pepper, soy sauce and loamy earth flavors that are seamless and long.” (Value Pick of the Week)
Damilano - South Carolina Now	Langhe Nebbiolo DOC "Marghe"	2016		Jun-2020
Review “The light garnet color gives way to aromatics of red fruit (raspberry currant), purple flower (iris or violet), sweet spice (clove or allspice) and an earthy note (wet autumn leaves). The palate is dry with evident upfront acidity and prevalent, ripe silty tannins. There are flavors of raspberry, currant, woody thyme, and baking spice. The alcohol is well in check and finishes slightly astringent with earthy red fruit. Pair with grilled meats, Bolognese, and game stews.”
Zenato - News & Record	Alanera Rosso Veronese IGT	2016		Jun-2020
Review “The 2016 Zenato Alanera Rosso Veronese is an intriguing Italian blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and a touch of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Some grapes are briefly dried to concentrate sugars. It displays cherry, raisin and anise, and is immediately approachable.”
Shaw + Smith - Wine Enthusiast	M3 Chardonnay	2016	89	Jun-2020
Review “There’s a lot of winemaking going on here, and a little bottle age as well. The nose is rich and toffee-like, swirling with vanilla, ripe pineapple and honeyed nuts. There’s a slight oniony reduction still present, too. The palate is less weighty than the nose implies, thanks mainly to bright acidity that helps counteract the fleshy fruit and oak influence. In any case, this is a full-figured style that some will love and others will run from.”
