Castro Ventosa El Castro de Valtuille Godello 2020 – Sale $24.99 – 93 pts Wine Advocate

"2020 is a very good vintage for whites too, even if the 2020 Godello has 1% more alcohol than the 2019 and is a little rounder. In 2020 they stopped doing any maceration and did a direct pressing of the destemmed grapes, so the wines are going to be a bit lighter than in the past. They don't do rackings or stir the lees, and they don't use any yeasts or enological products. It's more Burgundian and more textured, with depth and complexity.” - WA

Miguel Merino Vinas Jovenes 2021 – Sale $24.99 – 92 pts Tim Atkin

“Two main vineyards, planted in 2001 and 2010, are the principal components of this "young vine" cuvée of Tempranillo and 8% Graciano. Forward and fruity, with very little wood, supple, caressing tannins, graceful raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and balancing acidity. A Rioja for Pinot Noir lovers.” - TA

S.C. Pannell Basso Garnacha 2020 – Sale $25.99 – 93 pts James Suckling

"This is from a 50-year-old parcel, made as a low-sulphur project and fermented in large vats. The nose has a rich blood-orange and dark-raspberry fruit core with a striking red-licorice edge and a soft, pillowy texture, full of raspberry and red-cherry fruit. Whole berries, no stalks. Fluid and so drinkable. Screw cap." - JS

Le Ragnaie Brunello Di Montalcino 2019 – Sale $79.99 – 95 pts Jeb Dunnuck

"A beautiful cologne lifts from the glass of the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino, which pours a red/orange-tinged color. Aromas of wild cherries, truffles, bittersweet chocolate, and dried orange peel are followed by a medium to full-bodied red with fine, coiled tannins, a linear feel, and refreshing lift all the way through the finish. I love the tertiary notes that come through, and this wine will only improve and gain in complexity over time." – JD
