Malbec “Le Croizillon”

From NOAH RIVER Dark ruby in color. Complex nose brimming with blackberry, rhubarb, plum, orange peel, and marjoram. Ripe, medium to full-bodied flavors of cassis, red raspberry, and plum. Long finish with notes of red fruit, plum, and tobacco.

From FARELLA Ripe and sleek in feel, with açaí and blackberry notes, flecked with violet, sweet bay leaf and savory hints and supported by a cast iron note on the finish.     93 pts.  Wine Spectator

From GIANFRANCO ALESSANDRIA A classic Barolo. Tart cherry and plum, with notes of tar, licorice, and smoke.

From CHATEAU LAUBARIT A wine full of dark berries, pure cocoa nibs, plums and baking spices, though no oak is used. Medium density with juicy tannins, this is a great low sulphur, clean Bordeaux made on the vine with limited cellar influence.

From MATTEO CORREGGIA Sweet floral notes of rose petal and violet. Juicy raspberry and blackberry fruit with exotic spices on the finish. Juicy and bright with no significant tannins.

From SIRO PACENTI Structured and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish. This wine comes from two vineyards with vines over 35 years old; annual production is around 30,000 bottles. 99 pts. James Suckling
