Sans Liege Cotes Du Coast 2017

Daylight wanes and a new energy pulses through the redwoods. As the lanterns are lit you take in scents of honeysuckle, lemongrass tea and shale. You are now dancing and laughing with mirth as you pass by a rustic dessert table. It is set with creme brulee and miniature vanilla spice cakes adorned with orange blossoms. Children run past snacking on jazz apples and dried pineapple and you smile with gratitude for the day.

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2012

Le Vigne Barolo interprets the ancient handed-down wisdom and tradition of Langhe and Barolo of assembling the Nebbiolo grapes from various vineyards. We interpret this historic practice by working only with indigenous yeasts and by keeping the grapes of each vineyard separated during the fermentation and wood ageing, rather than combining them during fermentation.

Sans Liege The Offering Red 2016

#20 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2019 When you arrive the celebration is raging, much like the huge bonfire in the center of the crowd. You are met with scents of anise, mulling spices, kirsch and leather. A friend claps you on the back and hands you a bowl crafted from juniper proclaiming “wassail!” “Drink hail” you chorus with the rest of the group, taking a gulp and passing it on. Treats of olive tapenade and plums with cinnamon are shared as the merriment continues into the night.

Three Brooms Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Beautifully balanced with the juxtaposition of fresh super ripe green characters comprised of currant leaf, kiwi fruit and a touch of passionfruit and our classic Blind River minerality all set against a rich, deep, slightly creamy softness of the perfect breadth. Rich enough to match with white meats, tuna or swordfish but equally complimentary to white fish, seafood and complex salads.

Poggio San Polo Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Intense ruby red in colour with garnet hues, clear and glossy. The bouquet exhibits typical aromas of violets and small red berries. Subtle nuances of forest undergrowth, aromatic wood, a touch of vanilla and jammy mixed fruit then give way to subtle hints of coffee. This Brunello is intense, persistent, broad and heady. Full-bodied and warm on the palate, with a densely-woven texture and robust body, it has a persistent finish with well- rounded tannins. The particular features of the terroir at San Polo produce a Brunello with a capacity for lengthy ageing, while patient cellaring enhances the wine during ageing in the bottle. Food Pairing: The elegance and harmonious personality of this wine enables it to pair extremely well with highly-structured cuisine such as red meats and game, as well as with mushrooms and truffles. It is ideal with matured cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Tuscan pecorino.

Bodegas Muga Rioja Riserva Unfiltered 2015

This wine is ruby-red with glints of brick-red and a medium-high depth of colour. Dense legs which provide you with a sequence of patterns around the sides of the glass. Initially you can find notes of red fruit aromas such as blackberries and reminders of spices. This is all well balanced by smoked aromas from its time in wood which had received a light-to-medium toas- ting. A subtle vanilla pod aroma coming through with roast coffee nuances. A smooth, mellow attack, with tannins wrapping the sides of the mouth with hints of menthol. In the finish the interesting lingering persistence is worthy of note. Food Pairing: You can pair this wine with veal, Iberian ham and charcuterie and some kinds of stews and hotpots.

Educated Guess Higher Education 4 Bottle Series in Wood Case 2014 Bottle

Includes one each of Higher Education Series The Scholar, The Graduate, The Valedictorian, and The PH. D. We are thrilled to have released the full lineup of our "Higher Education" series! With each exceptional vintage, we will explore a specific sub-appellation in the Napa Valley and showcase its uniqueness, finesse, and power. For the 2014 vintage we focused on Howell Mountain, specifically a vineyard farmed by the renowned winegrowers of Ladera. Over the past 20 years Ladera has earned a reputation for growing some of the greatest Mountain Cabernet Sauvignons. Ladera has been a champion of a balanced expression of Howell Mountain, where smooth structured tannins, excellent natural acidity and layered complexity adds sophistication to the intensity of mountain fruit. In keeping with the years of tradition established by our flagship brand Educated Guess, these Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons answer to the names of The Scholar, The Graduate, The Valedictorian, and The Ph.D. All were aged in Seguin Moreau and Francois Freres French oak barrels for 24 months and classically showcase the rich soils and unique micro-climate conditions of the vineyards. Our Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignons are elegant and balanced and individually express delicious dark red fruit, cocoa and rich layers of oak. The Scholar: The 2014 Scholar a wonderful wine that begins our reserve wine series, blending 90% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Coombsville Merlot. It is a beautifully crafted wine that bursts from the glass with intense black cherry, currant liquor, mocha, and crushed violets. Concentrated flavors of exotic spice and roasted sage pair amazingly well with tiers of freshly crushed black and blue fruits. The small touches of Merlot provide just the right amount of grace and softness to create refined tannins and a long lasting finish. The Graduate: The 2014 Graduate is composed of 95% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Coombsville Merlot. Always our favorite in our blending sessions, it offers seductive aromas of wild fruits, cassis and warm blackberry pie that invites you in for more. Hints of freshly shaved chocolate, pencil shavings, and ripe fruit compote mesh well with soft robust tannins that provide for a mouthwatering finish. The Valedictorian: The 2014 Valedictorian is a fantastic blend of 85% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Coombsville Merlot. Deep, brooding flavors of preserved plum and blackberry pie are accented perfectly with hints of cedar and mocha. Layers of minerality, graphite, and wild berries make this a rich and full-bodied wine. A splash of Merlot provides a satin-like finish. The PH. D.: The 2014 Ph.D. is the pinnacle of our reserve wine series. A wine for the purist, it is 100% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a muscular wine that offers a bounty of both fruit and earth driven aromatics. Bursts of black currant and blackberry fruit leap from the glass. Notes of chocolate, graphite, and wild fruit layer themselves together seamlessly. Cocoa and hits of oak grace the palate as tiers of rich, exotic flavors unfold, providing a satisfying backbone.

Trentadue La Storia Petite Sirah 2017

The 2017 La Storia Petite Sirah was made by blending together most of our best blocks of Petite Syrah including some Zinfandel and Syrah. Petite Sirah grapes are very sensitive to dry weather conditions which were exaggerated this year due to our deficit irrigation practices. The 2017 Petite Sirah berries were very small and slightly dehydrated resulting in an impressive wine with very dark, opaque color, beautiful nose of concentrated blue berries and blackberries that leads to a full body mouth feel with engagingly soft tannins. After short aeration the nose opens up with the addition of cocoa, slight earthiness followed by brown sugar and a touch of vanilla-contribution of the new oak barrels. Overall the aromas are of fresh dark fruit and very attractive. Longevity, if stored properly, is one of the virtues of this variety and it will give you the most enjoyment in 5-8 years. Cheers!

Emmolo Merlot 2017

Grapes for this wine were sourced from Napa Valley's Oak Knoll district, which includes two family vineyards.
