The 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo opens with wild herbs, cedar shavings and dried black cherries. It impresses with its silken textures, while zesty acidity elevates tart wild berry fruits. Violet inner florals combine with blood orange as the 2022 finishes long, gently tannic, yet still fresh. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2024) — 5 days ago

The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino opens with violet, lavender, blackberry and clove aromas. Soothingly round and pliant, it sweeps across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits and sweet spice. Juicy acidity maintains balance as the 2022 leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and a fine coating of tannin. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2024) — a month ago

The 2023 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a total stunner. Bright, aromatic and vibrant, the 2023 is lights-out, brilliantly marrying fruit intensity and energy. Apricot, mint and white flowers abound. This is a stunning wine for the price and for its production of around 40,000 cases. $23.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024) — 2 months ago

The 2023 Ot de Vins el Cep is a tasty, cosmopolitan red that blends Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah from Penedès. Expressive fruit-forward aromas include cherry, sour cherry and blood orange.

The 2021 Sangiovese Predappio is perfumed with an earthy tinge that perfectly offsets its ripe blueberry fruit. This is round and supple, with a classic feel, displaying amazing energy and a fine cut. Citrus-laced plums and violet undertones linger on the long and gently tannic finish. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2024) — a month ago

The 2023 Chardonnay soars from the glass with striking aromatics. Hints of apricot, lemon peel, white flowers and crushed rocks follow. Effortless and gracious, this blend of sites yields a Chardonnay of notable complexity, while a touch of Hungarian oak adds an attractive spicy character. $22.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2024) — 2 months ago

The 2022 Red Clos Ancestral combines 45% Moneu, 35% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha Negra, all sourced from Penedès. It offers strawberry and cherry aromas along with a faintly leafy note. Dry and lean, the cleansing palate lingers with a saline, chalky texture. Delicious and thirst-quenching. $25.00 (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, October 2024) — 19 days ago

The 2022 Chianti Classico Pèppoli, the entry-level offering from Antinori, is a fine introduction to the year that shows just how compelling this vintage can be. Bright, floral and beautifully lifted, the 2022 is all class. The understated, refreshing style is so compelling. $21.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024) — a month ago

The 2022 Syrah Tous Les Jours is a fabulous entry-level offering from Andrew Murray. A blast of dark cherry, plum, mocha, scorched earth, licorice, spice and espresso are all dialed up. It's an unreal value. “This gets a lot of really good stuff," Murray adds. No kidding. That's obvious. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024) — 2 months ago

Lemon oils and spring flowers combine with white peach as the 2023 Chenin opens in the glass. This is a beautifully balanced effort, with crisp orchard fruits, sour melon and crunchy mineral tones complemented by candied citrus. It finishes remarkably clean yet with admirable length. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2024) — 2 months ago
