2020 Bibi Graetz Testamatta Toscana Igt
95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Bibi Graetz has long been tinkering with his formula for this wine, and this vintage represents a new chapter. The 2020 Testamatta is a blend of Sangiovese from old and new vines, with a priority on cooler growing conditions (and even a few northern exposures). In the wake of climate change, and in the pursuit of elegance, Bibi is changing his approach. He also has a new vineyard property near Fiesole, and the introduction of these grapes (from a breezy, high-elevation site) are what gives Testamatta its beautiful clarity, sharpness and lifted bouquet. The new Fiesole fruit makes up about 30% to 35% of this wine. The results are vibrant, transparent and fresh both in terms of acidity and aromatic intensity. This is a wine in transformation and a wine to watch.
2017 Epoch Veracity
96 Jeb Dunnuck
Based on 47% Mourvèdre, 34% Grenache, and 19% Syrah, the 2017 Veracity is beautifully done, revealing a core of blue fruits, plenty of peppery herbs, violets, spice, and floral notes, medium to full body, and a great finish. It's one of those wines that grows on you with time in the glass, and I suspect it will be even better with another 2-3 years of bottle age (although it's terrific today).
2020 Martin Ray Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon
93 James Suckling
A fresh, fine-tannined cabernet with currants, blackberries and mulberries. Some pine-needle and dried-flower character, too. Medium body. Racy, fine finish.
2020 Daou Discovery Cabernet Sauvignon
95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate was made with free-run juice and matured for 21 months in 100% new French oak. Deep ruby, it opens with touches of tar, dried herbs and roasted peppers with a core of blackcurrants and cherries, plus wafts of lavender. The full-bodied palate is supple and fresh with a perfumed core of fruit and a long, savory finish. Enjoy this juicy, drinkable Cabernet over the next 3-5 years. Best After 2023.
2020 Michael David Earthquake
4,1 Vivino
Shattering the mold with off the chart, concentrated flavors, the 2020 Earthquake Cabernet is a force to be reckoned with. Deep ruby in hue, this wine opens with bold, layered aromas of dark plum, blackberry and mocha in the glass. Full bodied, this 2020 Cab is filled with intense flavors of boysenberry, espresso and toasted marshmallow leading to a trembling, oak-inspired finish.
2016 Tuck Beckstoffer Mad Hatter
92 James Suckling
Plenty of ripe blueberry and plum aromas here with a swathe of violet-like florals, too. The palate is succulent and fleshy with a long array of plush, supple tannins that carry ample depth and rich, fresh fruit to the finish. A blend of 48 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 40 per cent merlot, and 12 per cent petite sirah.
