James Suckling: "Sweet berries, cherries, cedar and dried flowers on the nose. Some lemon and lime zest, too! Medium-to full-bodied with tight, integrated tannins that show wonderful length and reserve. So fresh and vivid. Lots of energy. A wonderful, classic wine. Drink or hold

Pale lemon. Bright and fresh citrus and green apple aromas mingle with notes of tropical guava, honeysuckle and summer herbs. This Sauvignon Blanc shows pungent flavors of lime zest, white fleshed nectarine and sweet apple combined with lovely herbaceous notes of jalapeño pepper. The crisp, quintessentially Marlborough acidity provides a good structure and vibrant fresh finish.

Bright violet. Expressive black and blue fruit, floral pastille and peppery spice aromas display a bright mineral quality and a suggestion of woodsmoke. Intense blueberry and bitter cherry flavors show excellent clarity and spicy lift, picking up star anise and cola nuances on the back half.

Yes! Lacrima di Morro is a wonderfully aromatic wine that shows notes of rose petal, white pepper and fresh fruit. This producer takes it up a notch by having great complexity and structure to boot! This would be a great wine to pair with duck or lamb!

Sourced from some of the best Syrah vineyards in Sonoma, including Clary Ranch, Griffin’s Lair, and Que Syrah, this great wine from Arnot-Roberts is simply and absolutely delicious. Layered with flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, lavender, licorice, mint, and a medley of herbs and spices.

Casanuova delle Cerbaie has been quietly producing some of the most profound wine in the region. The Rosso di Montalcino is made entirely from Sangiovese Grosso and has an irresistible firm lushness, dark fruit tones, and uncommon density and depth.

The Rojac Family has been making wine in Slovenska Istria (Slovenian Istria) since the 17th Century, and that long experience and love of the land show in every sip of this wine. Broad-shouldered, deep and dark, this Refosco displays great power and richness with firm tannins and nearly opaque color.

Light straw in color. Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, Jasmine and white rose petal perfume, and a touch of Ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offering a nutty/ nougat nuance. Fresh flavors of stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy, crème brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky acid line, closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish

Sancerre is a more famous region than Touraine, but it's not necessarily better. In fact, the wineries in Touraine are often more inclined to take risks like Organic farming and hand harvesting. Such is the case with Domaine Vincent who does small, hand harvested, expressions of Sauvignon Blanc that easily rival Sancerre at twice the price.

Dark, woody berry, mocha and herbal aromas are potent and fiery. This has a layered mouthfeel with raw tannins. Rich, oaky blackberry and cassis flavors finish with notes of prune, coffee and lingering spice.

Camp is a great brand that focuses on organic vineyards and produces wines that are free from nasty additives or manipulations. Instead, this is fermented with natural wild yeast and is made with minimal sulfur. It's fresh, easy drinking and pure. Unlike many CA Merlot, this isn't overly ripe and doesn't have any of that ultra fake vanilla flavor.

Short 4-day skin maceration followed by natural fermentation in small, open top resin tanks with no temperature control or sulfur additions. Aged in stainless steel. No sulfur added during bottling.
