Pieropan Soave Classico 2021
Soave Italia $19.99
Aromas of citrus, wet stone and a delicate whiff of hawthorn waft out of the glass.
On the palate, dry, bright acidity accompanies white peach, grapefruit and a saline note before finishing on a hint of almond.
Torbreck Barossa Valley 2022
Woodcutter’s Semillon, South Africa $22.99
Fruit forward: peach candy, lemon juice/rind are backed by a hint of spice.
The fruit veers a touch sour and falls off quickly at the finish.
Ultimate Provence Rose 2021
Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache Noir, and Rolle, Provence France $24.99
Ripe red fruits balance with minerality and tight freshness.
This quintessential Provence Rosé possesses elegant vibrant fruit on a fine, chalky mouthfeel and lingering finish.

Mastrobarardino Radici 2017
Aglianico Taurasi, Italy $69.99
A unique combination of tart cherry and savory smoke; also candied orange peel and tilled earth. T
his vintage represents one of the most complete and balanced editions of the Taurazi Radici program that I have tasted in 20 years.

San Simeon Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This is an easy-to-find wine that overdelivers. Aromas of dark cherry, toasted wood, cocoa and graphite make for a complex nose.
