An original formula vermouth crafted with botanical resins of antiquity. These “Sacred Resins” were used as perfumes in rituals from birth to burial, prescribed medicinally both internally & externally, and were among the most valuable commodities dominating the ancient trade routes of South Asia and China. Light, citrusy and distinctly aromatic.

'Fleur de Pinot' is a very special rosé with the appearance of great white wine. Sylvain Pataille, brimming with ideas, decided in 2002 to create a rosé, both powerful and aerial, greedy and well-structured. For this cuvée, he selected the most beautiful red grapes from the locality 'La Charme aux Prêtres'. The elevage is very long, in barrels some of which are new.

This can only be described as BRILLIANT Rosé. The nose is pure Pinot Noir, the complexity on the palate sings of Burgundy, and the finish is long and fine. If you have never had the pleasure of tasting a rose from Bruno Clair, the acknowledged master of rose in Burgundy, do yourself a favor and get some of this. Never heavy, but full of substance, and extremely versatile.

The wine has ripe, red fruit aromas and spicy notes, with round, soft tannins and a lively mouthfeel. This wine pairs well with grilled pork tenderloin, lamb and veal with fresh herbs.

Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post wines are made by Buellton Hitching Post owner/chef Frank Ostini and his good friend, former fisherman Gray Hartley. Hometown is an early bottling of our Santa Barbara cuvee and showcases the delicious fruit of young Pinot Noir. This three valley blend is made from grapes sourced from vineyards near Los Alamos, Santa Maria and Sta. Rita Hills.

"This is a beautiful wine...a forward, sexy and nicely concentrated effort, its deep ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a classic, meaty bouquet of black currants, iodine, white pepper and olive brine...the wine is rounded, textured and beautifully balanced, with juicy acidity and a great finish. Drink in the next 2-4 years."

Concentrated nose of oyster shell, peach and citrus with a touch of fennel. Palate is pure and bright, gorgeous ripe citrus fruit with excellent weight and length. Allen Meadows of Burghound says, “I find Moreau to be one of the most exciting young growers in Chablis and his wines are well worth the trouble to get to know if you haven't yet tried them.”

A big, powerful wine, the 2012 Barbaresco hits the palate with surprising depth allied to nervous tannins that are going to need time to soften. Tobacco, smoke, licorice, menthol, game and a host of dark, ferrous notes give the wine much of its virile personality. The 2012 is not as finessed as some recent vintages, yet it offers considerable potential for the future.

Bitter-sweet aromas of crystalised orange peel, ginger and cream, with hints of almond blossoms. The palate is rich and perfumed with flavors of peaches, pineapples and mangoes. Delicious with Thai food!

Very deep and intense purple. Οn the nose it is dense, concentrated and complicated but elegant. Aromas of ripe fruit such as blackberries and black raspberries coupled with spicy characteristics, smoke and a touch of leather. Silky but powerful, framed by delicate tannins and gentle acidity offering flavors of ripe fruits, cloves, black pepper and just a touch of herbs.

This is impressively balanced, respectably concentrated and beautifully structured. It is perhaps the best regular Assyrtiko that I have seen from Santo Wines. Bright, clear yellow color. Dry with a distinct aromas of citrus and flowers, combined with hints of smoke and minerals from the volcanic soil. Full-bodied, well-balanced with intense flavors and long finish.

Paul Pernot has run the domaine since 1955. They are one of the largest landowners in Puligny-Montrachet with 45 acres under vine. In any given year, the sell off 80% of their fruit keeping only the very best parcels for the domaine production. The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a crisp, stony, Granny Smith apple-scented bouquet and persistent minerality.
