Let’s start at delicious. On the nose there are dark tones of bark, blood orange, raspberry, fresh parsnip, cinnamon and volcanic rock. It hits the palate with blasts of fresh strawberry, limestone, granite, and a fine latticework of tannin and acid. The finish is persistent with acid supported fruit, carbon and ozone. It is both thought-provoking and rump-shaking.

Two aspects are relevant for Parcel or Lot D in the Polkura vineyard. On one side a higher than normal decomposed granite content and also a microclimate with slightly higher temperatures. Both factors lead to a wine with a more intense fruit character and much softer and delicate tannins. In order to preserve its character as intact as possible, this wine sees no oak.

Pale yellow color. Aromas are bright pear and lemon accented by subtle minerality and seashell notes, with accents of caramel apple and nutmeg adding richness. Flavors, ripe Fuji apple and Bosc pear provide a soft entry and vibrant mouthfeel. Lively fruit is supported by notes of vanilla and cream, and the generous body provides a lingering finish of apple, vanilla bean & spice

At the entrance of the sleepy village of Savigny les Beaune resides this lovely estate. A family affair, Jean-Michel, Yvonne, and their son, Stephen carefully guide nature from parcel-to-cellar and capture the essence in bottles. Bright light golden. Refreshing bouquet of lemon, honey, acacia flower. White and yellow fruits with mint and mineral.

Valminor Albarino presents a yellow straw color. On the nose, the wine shows a wide fruity range of aromas with notes of fresh grapefruit, apricot and melon. In the mouth, Valmiñor combines fruity flavors and freshness with a rounded acidity, resulting in a balanced wine that boasts an opulent taste with elegant aromas and slight spritziness. 92 Points, Decanter

After an initial nose marked by scents of rose and lychee, with time the typical Riesling aromas of petrol begin to emerge. Intense and mineral with apricot, passion fruit and beeswax. A complex palate, warm but fresh at the same time, with a slight astringency and a honeyed finish.

Notes of a perfectly-ripe peach, kiwi and citrus undertones. Gentle, crisp acidity that makes this Sauvignon Blanc a great pairing with seafood and salads..or perfect to sit on the porch and enjoy on its own! Estate grown and estate bottled on an organic ranch. 90 POINTS Wine Enthusiast

Production of the Carema “Etichetta Bianca” is approximately 7200 bottles per annum, two-thirds of which (4800 bottles) comes to the States. A small quantity of magnums is bottled each year at our request as well. The Carema of Ferrando reveals the most elegant and delicate and complex characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape with a surprising capacity to age, up to 30yrs!

Made from three plots averaging over 50 years old. There is considerable weight of fruit and a sense of luxury, sitting on the cusp of red and black fruit with really impressive density. Hard to do better at village level.

With a palate-drenching fountain of peach nectar, grapefruit and orange blossom notes, this inexpensive Finger Lakes standard packs a surprising punch in the 2014 vintage. Dry, yet intensely ripe, it boasts long, lingering streaks of honey and fruit offset by zigzagging daggers of lime zest and lemon. It's penetrating and deliciously persistent.

This is the strong, structural backbone of the wine. Finally the remainder of the blend is Tannat from the famed Alder Springs vineyard in Mendocino. The Tannat from this cool climate is not heavy, but still adds a viscosity to the wine. The synergy of these diverse terroirs showcase the beauty of Northern California, while still remaining accessible.

Bright dark dusty ruby color. Bright, fruity, earthy toasty aromas of black currants, toasty oak, dried twigs, and dark cherries with a crisp, dry full body and a warming, medium-long finish with firm, well-integrated, fruit tannins and moderate oak. -
