Pinot Grigio Valdadige 2022
$22
This minerally white offers a subtle waft of petrol notes, with a tang of salinity layered with ripe persimmon, pear and beeswax flavors, plus accents of almond skin, pink grapefruit zest, chamomile and white pepper. There's a supple, pleasing plumpness to this version, but it's reined in nicely by deftly honed acidity. Drink now through 2029. 12,500 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.—Alison Napjus

TURLEY
Zinfandel Sonoma Valley Fredericks Vineyard 2021
$42
Broad-shouldered and potent, with deep black cherry and guava flavors that are jammed with cracked pepper and savory briar patch notes, finishing with muscular tannins. Hands off for now. Best from 2025 through 2032. 1,000 cases made.—Tim Fish
