55 Reviews of Platinum Award Winning Wines from Critics Challenge

2 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Michael Franz

Enjoying wine is easy for almost everyone, provided they are open to trying wine in the first place and can manage to find wines that suit their personal tastes and price ranges. And yet, we know it is equally true that vast numbers of consumers don’t consider enjoying wine to be easy at all, for reasons we can readily identify. There are so many wines available for sale that anyone inclined to start buying is likely to be intimidated.
Ziata, Green Valley of the Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2022 ($60)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Miranda Franco

If you are a Napa Valley wine enthusiast, Karen Cakebread is a name you’re likely to know. She began her wine journey in 1988 at Cakebread Cellars, where she spent 18 years leading global marketing, wine education, and corporate hospitality efforts for that winery. In 2008, she launched her own label — Ziata — named in honor of her mother, Mary Annunziata Webb.
Villa Saletta, Chianti Superiore DOCG (Tuscany, Italy) 2019 ($20)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Michael Franz

I elected to taste this Chianti solely as a point of reference in relation to the producer’s releases from Terre di Pisa and Toscana IGT, also from the 2019 vintage. The wine was listed on my roster at the “Vini delle Coste” event under wines from the Province of Pisa, but it is possible that that’s only because the winery is located there, with the fruit having been trucked in from further inland.
Villa Santa Stefano, Colline Lucchesi DOC (Tuscany, Italy) “Sereno” 2023 ($30)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Michael Franz

A very seductive young wine, this rather elaborate blend shows a degree of density coupled with a rounded mouthfeel that is in keeping with this producer’s house style for red wines. The blend is based on Sangiovese at 85%, with another 15% derived from Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo.
Seehof, Rheinhessen (Germany) Morstein Riesling Kabinett 2022 ($25, vom Boden)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Wayne Belding

This is a delicious Riesling Kabinett. Seehof is located in the village of Westhofen in the southern Rheinhessen. The Morstein is an excellent vineyard site here, noted for its limestone soils. Seehof has crafted a classic Riesling Kabinett from this exceptional vineyard. The bouquet offers scents of pure lemon, peach, apple and pineapple underscored by hints of flowers, ginger and spice. The multilayered flavors offer ripe citrus, peach and tropical fruits.
Jules Taylor, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2024 ($19, Dreyfus Ashby)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Wayne Belding

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc burst upon the wine scene in the mid-1980s. It has become so popular that Marlborough is now synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc. The Jules Taylor 2024 Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies Marlborough’s distinctive style. The grapes for this bottling were harvested from several vineyards around the edges of the appellation. Fermented with selected yeast strains at cool temperatures, the 2024 Jules Taylor Sauvignon shows a wonderful combination of aromas.
Domaine Anita, Moulin-à-Vent (Beaujolais, France) “Cœur de Vigneronne” 2022 ($80, Rosenthal)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Miranda Franco

Founded in 2015 by former professional cyclist Anita Neveu, Domaine Anita has quickly become a force in Beaujolais. Based in Chénas, the estate spans 15 hectares across some of the region’s most prestigious crus, including Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, Fleurie, and Chénas—as well as Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages. The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent Cœur de Vigneronne is a bold reimagining of what Beaujolais can be—turning expectations on their head.
Charles Krug, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($39)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Wayne Belding

For decades, the Charles Krug winery has provided some of the best value Cabernet Sauvignon in California. They offer balanced and complex Cabernets at very friendly prices compared to neighboring producers. The estate was established in 1861 by Charles Krug, a Prussian immigrant who had learned winemaking in his native Germany. It was purchased by the Mondavi family in 1943 and remains in the family today.
Boschkloof, Stellenbosch (South Africa) Syrah “Epilogue” 2021 ($150, Vine Street Imports)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Miranda Franco

Boschkloof “Epilogue” Syrah is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s finest red wines. Planted in 1996 by Jacques Borman—following his acclaimed tenure at La Motte in the 1980s and early 1990s — the “Epilogue” block has become iconic in Stellenbosch. The 2021 vintage is a showstopper — a complete table-slapper of a wine. It opens with a touch of carbonic lift, showcasing pristine Syrah purity and a mineral core that captures the aromatic herbage unique to Stellenbosch.
Weingut Bründlmayer, Kamptal (Niederösterriech, Austria) Grüner Veltliner Langenloiser Alte Reben 2023 ($65, Skurnik)

3 days ago | winereviewonline.com | Wayne Belding

Weingut Bründlmayer is a legendary producer in the village of Langenlois in the Kamp River Valley just above the confluence of the River Kamp and the Danube. The deep loess soils that abound in the Kamptal provide a perfect environment for Grüner Veltliner grapes. Bründlmayer’s Alte Reben (old vine) Grüner is an impressive example of the Kamptal Grüner style. The fresh herb, green bean and white pepper tones add a distinctive complexity to the juicy fruit.
