Testify Chardonnay 2020 – 92 points
“The 2020 Chardonnay Testify offers substantial concentration and a weighty core of savory fruit. It’s a big mouthful of just-ripe Conference pears, beeswax, and hazelnut flavors. Despite its assuring core, the wine concludes with salivating acidity and a sense of texture that focuses the wine on the lengthy finish.”
Giunta Pinot Gris 2021 – 88 points
“Young but ready to drink, it is a step above most New Zealand Pinot Gris with its plump yet well-concentrated core of supple fruit. Its joy lies in its balance and svelte texture, which isn’t always easy to achieve with this variety, prompting you to want another mouthful. “
Decibel Sauvignon Blanc 2021 – 87 points
“This is a zesty little number with grassy, elderflower and gooseberry notes. The midpalate is gentle, offering more weight than you’d expect from cooler climes, but it remains fresh and mouthwatering on the flinty albeit fleeting finish.”
Giunta Crispy White 2020 – 89 points
“Crispy is a fragrant, floral and limey style, with decent concentration and an interesting tannic twist of texture on the aromatic finish. A young wine for enjoying in its perfumed and jaunty youth.”
Decibel Viognier 2020 – 89 points
“What is refreshing is that it manages to retain a perky amount of acidity and has well-handled phenolics, which both contribute to retaining a sense of tension; it also comes in at a very reasonable 13% alcohol. “
