Is this the best Whispering Angel ever?  Probably. Chateau d'Esclans' Whispering Angel 2024 Rosé is a dry, refined wine with a pale salmon hue, featuring a delicate nose of fresh strawberries, white peach, and citrus blossom. The palate offers notes of wild berries, cherries, pink grapefruit, and stone fruits with a silky, soft texture and vibrant acidity.  There's more weight and extract than in the 2023 (a very tricky year), and it finishes with a clean, elegant finish of summer fruits, minera

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast. St Julien is the commune in Bordeaux with the highest proportion of Classed Growths, and its superlative wine growing land make it a go to destination for high quality Bordeaux. Château les Ormes is made up of 2 principal parcels of vines.

J Vineyards bright and appealing Russian River Valley Chardonnay showcases the best of this classic cool-climate region. Aromas of citrus and orange blossom open with every swirl. Smooth and beautifully balanced, notes of yellow apple, meyer lemon and pear layer with suggestions of toasted macadamia and creamy almond. Hints of light toast and spice lift the fruit characteristics. The palate is rich, full and beautifully textured before finishing with a crisp and delicate flourish. Wine Press Rat

A traditional blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%), Chateau de Gourdon Vase de Pierre Cotes du Rhone is unusual in being so elegant and refined. Despite boasting an impressive 15% alcohol, its structure is fine and complex. This is achieved by de-stemming the Syrah, giving both grapes long (30 day), cool fermentations and keeping oak ageing to a minimum. The result is an impressively intense, but beautifully rounded wine. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Jul 2025) Taste Deep purple, the bouquet is dominat

The Barossa’s tiny 2020 vintage – yields were 50% lower than the ten-year average – tested the winemaking mettle of all producers. The Lou Miranda team routinely take a fanatical approach to vineyard care, but in 2020 daily assessments were undertaken to ensure grapes were picked at the optimum moment.

The Lou Miranda team routinely take a fanatical approach to vineyard care, but in 2020 daily assessments were undertaken to ensure grapes were picked at the optimum moment.

94 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard. A great Barolo from the cru Ravera, close to the villages of Barolo and Novello, from the fantastic 2018 vintage. This Barolo from Cagliero is pure and authentic, beautiful structure with a bouquet of violets, ripe fruit (plums) and spices.

Vivino Rating: 4.

92 Points - Tim Atkin MW. When a producer’s ‘entry-level’ wine scores 92/100 from leading Spanish wine critic Tim Atkin MW and 93+ from Robert Parker, you know it’s something special. But then everything about Pago de Carraovejas Tinto is special. From its exceptionally well-sited high-altitude vines to its meticulous hand production, and the input from Pingus’s and Vega Sicilia's winemakers it’s a remarkable wine, one that every lover of fine Spanish red wine needs to try. Produced from a blend

The Crudabendita Reserva is one of Ribera del Duero’s increasingly rare gems — a wine of depth and pedigree that still remains accessibly priced. As the region’s top wines continue to climb in value, spurred by rising demand and a string of outstanding vintages like 2020, Crudabendita stands out for its quality and restraint. Aged exclusively in natural oak — nine months in new French barrels, followed by 13 months in second-year American oak — and finished with over a year in bottle, it’s a win

94 Points - The Wine Independent. It's rare to find a wine from the Napa Valley composed of all five Bordeaux-style varietals. But, for many years, that has been Papillon's focus. The raw strength and prestige of Cabernet Sauvignon buttressed by the opulence of Merlot, the spiciness of Cabernet Franc, the depth of Malbec and the sheet unctuousness of Petit Verdot come together seamlessly.
