92 Points | Gianni Brunelli 2003 Amor Costante The standout wine of the Dancing Bear Cellars portfolio, this 80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot. As might be expected from a 2003, it's superripe with black cherry fruit flavors that verge on prune without actually tipping over the edge. Vanilla, smoke and toast from aging in small oak frames and supports the fruit without overwhelming it, while helping to shape the lush, velvety texture. Drink now - 2015. |
 | 88 Points | Dancing Bear Cellars 2004 Pinot Noir A silky, delicate, almost lightweight Pinot Noir, this is a pretty wine, the antithesis of full-bodied and lusty. Yet is still packs in plenty of flavor and compexity, ranging from cola to sassafras to cherries, mushrooms, brown sugar and earth. Drink now. |

88 Points | Taliano Birbet NV Similar to Bracchetto, this is a pinkish-red slightly sparkling wine that's sweet, but in this case, the sugar is capably balanced by a sense of minerality. Slightly floral and earthy, with flavors of dust-covered black cherries. Drink Now. |
 |
87 Points | Dancing Bear Cellars 2005 Zinfandel This easy drinking Zinfandel starts off with heady, almost Port-like aromas of berries and spice, then continues that theme on the palate but with reasonable alcohol levels and moderate body. Chocolate, mixed berry and spice flavors trail away on the finish. |
 | 85 Points | Dancing Bear Cellars 2005 Sauvignon Blanc Combines stone fruit and slight grassiness in a medium-bodied wine Munson calls, "extra crispy." It's made all in stainless steel to accentuate the fruit. |
 |
84 Points |
Conviviale 2006 Pinot Grigio A light, easy quaffing wine that typifies the Pinot Grigio available in the U.S. market, offering modest apple, peach and citrus flavors. It's cleanly made and priced right for the quality. Best Buy. |
