Sardinia. Initially thought to brought by the Spanish in the fourteenth century but it is now known that the grape goes back even further to Phoenician times.
Wild cherry aromas with sea salt, white pepper, a kiss of funk and Mediterranean herbs. Savory, very balanced and luscious texture. Pepper and wild spice from the nose follow on the saturated but clear finish. Drink over the next five years with lasagna, lamb and more.

The newly arrived 2022 shows why Mathieu Boutiere and Domaine du Pesquier are regarded as five-star Gigondas producers.
Distinguished, even silky given the force of the vintage. No shortage of depth and fullness. Genius and vinous texture with polished tannins and a persistent, very spicy finish. Rock star juice! Drink through 2035.

A white wine from famed Amarone producer Tommasi’s Lake Garda estate.
Made from 100% Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana), completely unoaked, and armed with redolent tones of melon, tangerine, lime, and pronounced saline that go non-stop. Filling the mouth with depth, ample zesty, crisp acidity holds it all in balance and extends to the finish reminiscent of the soaring outro guitar solo that Dave Gilmour drops on Comfortably Numb.

Chiroubles is one of the ten Cru of Beaujolais and one that fans seem to miss or forget. Pauline Passot of Grosse Pierre is one of the Chiroubles and Beaujolais’s young megastar’s. This single parcel of 70–90-year-old vines shows why she is great at what she does.
Sensual hedonism, dramatic and a full presence of crème de framboise, smoke, violet, warm granite and undertones of strawberry jam and cinnamon-stick. Resoundingly mouth-filling, a total eruption of flavors cascades through the mouth. Bountiful finish with broad and balanced fruit that covers the palate. Drink through 2032.

Even with the National Sales Tax (aka tariffs) this Barbera is still steals your heart for twenty dollars.
Snappy blackberry tones ride shotgun with cranberry, cocoa powder, mineral and earthy spice. Refined, richly seductive texture with a backdrop of mouthwatering acidity. Drink with risotto, sausages and more.

Second generation, Dundee Hills based Granville’s wines need to be in your glass. The Basalt cuvee is a blend of Pinot from Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity and shows why all the hype of Oregon’s 2024 vintage is merited.
Youthfully packed. Strawberries, freshly cut flowers, cinnamon stick, rhubarb and aromatic spice integrate nicely and lift and caress the senses. All about 2024 with structure and penetration, but prominent high-toned red fruits support the material. Uber-fine palate presence and endurance, this wine over-delivers for its price point. Better to put into the cellar for about a year but if you must uncork one, do decant.

36% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot – a classic Bordeaux blend from South Africa. Known for Rubicon, this longtime favorite offers a big wine experience for half the price.
Classically formed. Luminous blueberry, cherry and turned earth with hints of coffee and nutmeg from the use of well-placed oak. Stylish with sophisticated flavors that Bordeaux influence but new world warmth and fruit. A smart choice for Cab/Merlot/Blend lovers and their friends.

Two weeks ago, we offered Fourneaux and this week it is Vaucopin Premier Cru on display. Charismatic Chablis from a very steep site. Freshness, volume, chalky minerality and salinity. Natural depth from fifty-year-old vines. Fine amplification with unyielding nervosity. Incisive with voltage and drawn-out purity, this is a Chablis lover’s Chablis to drink over the next decade.
