Dec 5, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

Roederer CristalFull Circle: 1993-2015BY ANTONIO GALLONI | DECEMBER 06, 2023My visit to Roederer a few months ago, the first post-COVID-19, was memorable. After a survey of the 2022 vins clairs, longtime Chef de CavesJean-Baptiste Lécaillon presented a vertical of every Cristal he has made andreleased since assuming his current role in 1999. It was an incrediblyinstructive tasting that encompassed several themes over what has arguably beenthe most significant period in Roederer’s long history.

Nov 6, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

Santa CruzMountains – California’s Hidden GemBY ANTONIO GALLONI | NOVEMBER 07, 2023Tucked into its own little corner of the world, far awayfrom most of California’s better-known regions, the Santa Cruz Mountains ishome to a number of world-class estates and equally notable vineyards. Readerswho enjoy focused, nervy Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs will find much to explore,as will those who appreciate the more savory, structured side of CabernetSauvignon.
Barbaresco’s Soaring 2020s & 2021s (Oct 2023)

Oct 23, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

Barbaresco’sSoaring 2020s & 2021sBY ANTONIO GALLONI | OCTOBER 24, 2023I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted on my mostrecent trip to Barbaresco. Both 2020 and 2021 are terrific vintages with plentyof highlights. Best of all, so many wines remain reasonably priced within thecontext of today’s market, something that is increasingly evident as wines fromother regions become quite pricey.
Cellar Favorite: 1970 E. Pira & Figli Barolo (Oct 2023)

Oct 15, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

1970 E. Pira &Figli BaroloBY ANTONIO GALLONI | OCTOBER 16, 2023The 1970 Pira Barolo is a wine I have never hadbefore, at least that I can recall. Sweet, perfumed and ethereal, the 1970takes us back to another generation, a time when Piedmont was far more agrarianand artisan than it is today. Crushed rose petals, mint, licorice, driedflowers, sweet dried cherry fruit, pipe tobacco and old chest drawer waft fromthe glass. Fine, silky, mature Nebbiolo tannins pull it all togetherbeautifully.
Cellar Favorite: 2003 Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (Oct 2023)

Oct 2, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

2003 Philip TogniVineyard Cabernet Sauvignon EstateBY ANTONIO GALLONI | OCTOBER 02, 2023The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, a library releasefrom the winery this year, is in great shape. Rich, racy and super-expressive,the 2003 offers up an exotic mélange of ripe dark plum, hard candy, tea leaves,spice, mocha, leather and menthol. Sweet floral top notes add character to thedistinctly ripe flavor profile. The tannins have softened, making the 2003quite enjoyable today.
Brilliance in Santa Barbara

Sep 20, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

BY ANTONIO GALLONI | SEPTEMBER 21, 2023Santa Barbara continues to impress with a wide range of exceptional, world-class wines. After the challenging but ultimately strong 2020 harvest, producers were welcomed with far more favorable conditions in 2021. It is a spectacular vintage for the whites, quite possibly the best I have seen in more than a dozen years of tasting these wines, but ultimately less consistent for the reds, as we will explore in this year’s report.
Rhys: The Stellar 2021s

Sep 20, 2023 | vinous.com | Antonio Galloni

BY ANTONIO GALLONI | SEPTEMBER 21, 2023The Rhys 2021s are off the charts. After a very difficult year in 2020, Mother Nature provided far more ideal conditions in 2021. Annual rainfall was down 50%, and yet combined effects of drought and a cool season with no heat extremes or shock events yielded a set of powerful, deep wines. Cool nights during the final phase of ripening helped preserve acidity. Readers will find wines that marry uncommon textural depth with intense vibrancy and minerality.
