This is yet another in a growing line of excellent Syrahs from Polkura. Licorice and foresty aromas come with a measurable amount of coconutty oak. While the acidity on this is a touch amplified and gritty, flavors of blackberry, chocolate and dark spices are highly satisfying in a hedonistic way.

The gently pressed juice contacts the skins only for a few hours for color and aroma and is immediately sent to steel tanks where it undergoes fermentation for about twelve days (no oak). In the glass it is a light salmon color and on the nose there are pleasant aromas of red berries and white flower. The wine is crisp, complex with a lingering finish.

La del Vivo is a unique expression of the rare indigenous variety Doña Blanca. This wine has a lot of personality, and it is crafted to express the tradition and character of the area where the grapes are grown. A special wine for those seeking unique vinous experiences.

This cuvee is sourced from multiple parcels on the hill including les Vaudenelles, les Rosey, and Boivins. They are all southeast-facing, planted in shallow white marne soil on limestone bedrock, which brings out a lovely minerality in the white wines.

Fresh, bright and clean with white flowers and citrus lifting the slight bready quality. The fruit component really pops in this cuvée. Complex enough to keep you coming back for more but simple enough to drink with abandon. Pere farms 5 hectares in the town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia in the heart of the Penedès. The work is all organic and by hand.

A selection of grapes sourced from the estate’s oldest vineyards at 580 meters elevation are now being utilized for Osta- tu’s newest project: Rosado. This light and refreshing rosé is grown on south-facing slopes comprised of chalky clay over layers of white rock.

Cedar, graphite, marzipan, black plum and blackberry aromas ooze power and ripeness. This is concentrated and dark in style, with oaky blackberry and cassis flavors. Spice, vanilla, raisin, cassis and chocolate flavors reflect maximum ripeness, while the finish is dense, layered and potent. Drink this hefty, extracted Malbec through 2020.

Hard-packed, concentrated black-fruit aromas are a signal of this rugged Malbec's character. It's blasting with toasty blackberry and pepper flavors, which are backed by spice, heat and a general sense of full but proper ripeness and high quality. Drink through 2019. BEST BUY!

Fantastic little example of Primativo. Some being made today are too polished and mass produced. This retains a nice rustic edge with great acidity and power. It's Zinfandel but unmistakably Italian in expression.

Ruby red in color, this Nebbiolo offers aromas of red fruit with notes of spices, white pepper and anise. On the palate, it is balanced with bright fruit. Classic Nebbiolo from a classic Barbaresco producer.

This Vouvray is classified as “Sec” or dry Vouvray and it comes from two flint-stone parcels. This is fresh and lively on the nose with elements of white flowers, honeyed pear, wild herbs, and just the slightest suggestion of smoke. On the palate this is juicy and bright with pear and lime zest notes mingling with hints of smoke and minerality. This is more than just a great introduction to Vouvray; this is a pretty great Vouvray for tonight or for a few years from now.

Aromas of white fruit, green almonds and hints of fennel and tangerine
peel. Voluminous and tasty entry, recalling the aromas of ripe white fruit with hints of citrus and
fennel. Unctuous and aromatic wine with saline notes, good acidity and a fresh, well-balanced and long
finish.

This silky red blend offers big fruit flavors and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Aromatics of pipe tobacco, leather and dark fruit layer with ripe boysenberry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The finish lingers with blackberry jam and toasty, graphite back notes. Pair with rosemary and peppercorn-crusted pork loin, lamb burgers or a grilled Portobello sandwich.
