Ca la Bionda’s brilliant single vineyard Amarone, Ravazzol, is at the top of my list for hoarding. It’s an incredible wine.
Most Amarone that comes across my desk is a poor imitation of Port …. alcoholic, blowsy, way over the top. But Alessandro Castellani’s Amarone is something different all together. The 2012 Amarone is drinking great right now. There’s really nothing like an Amarone with some good age to it. It’s super aromatically complex, with intense aromas of blackberries, anise and Asian spices. It’s also one of those wines that’s perfect for the Thanksgiving wine for the table, just so food friendly, silky and pure. You’re going to enjoy this one, 100%.

Pair with any classic winter dish, from beef stews to roasted game or after the meal, with walnuts and aged cheeses.

By now, I’m sure you heard of the difficulties in the 2017 vintage, but you also know by now that the best of the best winemakers never miss– not even in the toughest of vintages. Antonio Galloni and Vinous agreed, calling the wine “gorgeous” and “racy” and declaring that the wine, “captures all the best the vintage has to offer within its peer group”. That’s for sure. It’s incredibly lively and fresh with a solid, firm tannins and a medium to full-bodied weight. This has Paul Hobbs’ mastery written all over it.
The recently released Elouan Oregon Pinot Noir 2018 is wonderfully ripe and juicy with vibrant flavors of rich cranberries, baked cherry pie and just a hint of earthiness. It’s packed with crushed red fruits and finishes with soft, refined tannins that leave a great aftertaste. It’s a great choice any time of the year– delicious by itself or paired with just about anything. In 2018, it saw predominantly fruit from the lush Willamette Valley, adding the cold weather Pinot element to a wine usually more reliant on southern Oregon.

Riccardo Cotarella is a winemaking superstar and the most famous and well-respected consultant in Italy. Robert Parker Jr. himself heaped perhaps the highest praise possible, referring to him as “one of the most influential personalities in the world of wine in the last 20 years.” His 2019 Aglianico is a sensational red wine with deep, robust flavors of plum and black raspberry and a complexity that no doubt in part due to its six months slumber in barrique. It’s a full-bodied beauty that is absolutely ready to be drunk right now.
97 Points (Best in Show), 2021 Decanter Wine Awards
This year was Decanter’s biggest international wine awards show yet with 18,000 wines. There are bronze medals, silver, gold and then platinum. Lastly, the true creme de la creme are awarded Best in Show, and that is where you’ll find the 2018 Trefethen Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet from the beloved Oak Knoll district. The wine is an absolute show stopper– dark and brooding with aromas of violets, black fruits and figs with notes of black cherry, raspberry, plum and chocolate mousse on the palate. At today’s price, I’m not expecting this to last long.
