Vintages New Release Collection – September 27, 2025

Different types of grapes mature at different times and under different conditions, which is why a great year for red wines doesn’t necessarily mean a great year for whites. Places like Bordeaux and Burgundy are famously vintage-driven. This is because their weather can be quite volatile and changeable, resulting in significant differences (a.k.a. vintage variation) from year to year. When all factors align, you get a great vintage, like 2005 or 2010 in Bordeaux, 2007 in the Rhône, or 2020 here in Ontario.

TERRENO MOMENTO MASSIMO 2016 IGT Toscana, Tuscany, Italy The Terreno 2016 MM (Momento Massimo) is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 30% Petit Verdot that completes two years in barrique. This is an exciting new submission from this estate from a vintage that has captured our hearts. The wine opens to inky dark fruit, seamless integration and soft concentration with full-bodied appeal. The bouquet is tightly held together thanks to a very direct and linear aromatic presentation highlighted by pencil shavings and crushed stone. The wine remains fresh and tonic throughout, yet it has the textural layering to pair with important cuts of beef. Drink date: 2022-2030. Score: 94 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 9, 2023) Full-bodied & Firm 44854 (XD) 750 ml $49.95 2 New at Vintages
