The wine is a lovely ruby red color. Aromas of red fruit and cherries. The flavors are slightly sweetish, soft yet powerful, fresh and full flavored with a trace of tannin and a spicy aftertaste.

Monti Garbi is a modern wine made on the basis of ancient traditions from the Valpolicella area of ​​Italy. The ripasso method is used and provides the classically recognizable, aromatic and seductive flavor.

Hints of green pineapple, lime peel, white grapefruit flesh and lemongrass. Lean and racy with a "drive-by" of stone fruit but it’s all about minerality showing that maritime influence allowed by the fog that makes its way all the way to the Santa Maria Valley. Long, mouth watering finish.

Ganevat is a master of his craft, one of the true magicians of the eclectic. To say that his grapes are spun into gold would not be far from the truth. The vines are 40 year old, 14 year old for the Enfariné francs de pied. Bright, effusive aromas and flavors. Deeper than the Y’a Bon the Canon.

“The bright aromatics and the palate possesses minerality with a burgeoning richness. Youthful and pale green in color, the flavors are complex and intricate, revealing floral, pear, and lemon notes. A lovely mineral core and crystallized fruit, with a long, energetic finish. Very enjoyable now but will age gracefully for at least a decade.”

100% Chenin Blanc that grow in siliceous-limestone soils. Vinification methods include the settling of the must “debourbage” which concentrates the flavors, and extended contact with the lies to enrich the wine. There is no malo-lactic fermentation resulting in a wine that offers springtime aromas and a refreshing palate.

The 2012 Treana Red displays a deep red color. Beautiful aromas of bright red cherry and pomegranate are enhanced by intense flavors of plum, allspice and vanilla. The wine culminates wit ha long and balanced finish. A wine off great depth and structure, the 2012 Treana Red will continue to develop and mature for the next ten years.

From dry-farmed 40-year-old vines perched along the Rutherford Bench, this impressive offering is sanguine and elegantly balanced, a showcase of cranberry, raspberry and milk chocolate. Refined acidity contributes to an overall lightness, with dried herb and dust lingering on the finish.

Grandson of Sassicaia founder Mario Incisa della Rocchetta ended up in Patagonia after tasting a bottle of Pinot Noir he fell in love with, 60 year-old, head pruned vines in the Rio Negro Valley of Patagonia. Beautiful, bright and nuanced expression of Pinot Noir, with succulent fruit and elegant texture. An eye opener for the potential of Pinot Noir in northern Patagonia.

A dense but violet hue, leading with black cherry, blueberry, and raspberry on the nose. I find notes of black tea, dried orange rind, and graphite balance the fruit on the nose, and evolve into blackberry and bramble. The mouthfeel is lush and velvet, with fine tannins. There is an element of slate along with cardamom and anise that leads to intriguing elements as it opens.

2016 is the second vintage of this wine from Scholium. This vintage is quite light in body with a kind of bright, translucent, cherry red in color. It is deliciously fresh and fragrant-- everything is about what happens quickly and up front in this vintage. Close your eyes; it is white wine from Lodi.
