France
Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Sancerre
$54.99Tremendous depth of fruit married perfectly with mineral aromas. The palate is complex and impressive, mixing zesty fruit, tropical nuances and a ripe fruit core, plus some smokiness, striking minerality and a fine balance to finish.
Pontoise Cabarrus 2019 Haut Medoc
$54.99Old vine Cabernet Sauvignon in 33% new wood barrels. Fresh black and blueberries on the nose are balanced by a rich toasty vanilla spice on the palate. Enjoy on a brisk fall evening cozied up by the fireplace.
Ferran 2019 Pessac-Leognan
$54.99Chateau Ferran is located in exceptional terroir, adjoining some of the most famous wines of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The Château Ferran vineyard stretches over 18 hectares of vines planted on slightly gravelly Miocene limestone-clay ridges. The grape varieties here are 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Fresh, full, and versatile; this red will not disappoint.
Clos De La Roilette 2023 Fleurie Tardive
$56.99“Coudert’s brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth.” – 95 Points Wine Advocate (2018 Vintage), August 2019
