Apr. 27, 2013: UCCELLIERA Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2007 (95 points, $130)

Very pure, with alluring aromas and flavors of strawberry, currant and cherry surrounded by a supple texture. This suave red is firmly structured, with a lingering finish of spice and mineral. Already quite open, but complex and firmly structured. Best from 2015 through 2030. 420 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson

Apr. 26, 2013: ET FILLE Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton District Kalita Vineyard 2010 (92 points, $42)

Supple, expressive and distinctive, balancing cherry, currant, anise and black pepper flavors that play easily against light, refined tannins. The finish lingers, offering a lift of acidity. Drink now through 2018. 245 cases made. —Harvey Steiman

Apr. 25, 2013: CASTELLO DI BOLGHERI Bolgheri Superiore 2009 (93 points, $65)

The sweet black currant and black cherry fruit flavors are framed by cedar, licorice and saline mineral elements in this rich, supple red. Displays plenty of structure, with the firm tannins buried by ample flesh. Fine length. Best from 2014 through 2024. 1,650 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson

Apr. 24, 2013: BOEKENHOUTSKLOOF Sémillon Franschhoek 2009 (93 points, $39)

Rich, almost oily, with tangerine, blood orange, nectarine and clementine notes all wound together, this remains fresh and focused, offering hints of bitter almond, ginger and white peach. Delivers lovely, imbedded acidity on the finish. Should blossom in the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2020. 1,057 cases made. —James Molesworth

Apr. 23, 2013: JC CELLARS Zinfandel Rockpile Botticelli Vineyard 2010 (93 points, $42)

This Zin features plenty of power in reserve. The floral aromas of huckleberry and loamy licorice lead to dense, complex flavors that balance ripe fruit and big tannins against lively acidity, with wild berry and brown spice notes. Drink now through 2021. 226 cases made. —Tim Fish
