BERTRAND STEHELIN Gigondas 2015

This rather seductive red delivers subtle, persistent nuance, with rich cassis, plum and blackberry fruit flavors that are remarkably pure and silky in feel, while light lavender, violet and incense notes weave in through the finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,500 cases made. —James Molesworth

BASILICA CAFAGGIO Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana Basilica del Cortaccio 2013
93 points, $50
Cedary and woodsy notes lead off as this red settles into plum, leather and tobacco flavors, though it is still firmly structured and dry on the finish, with a lightly astringent feel. Sweet fruit returns in the end. Best from 2019 through 2032. 2,000 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson
