Wine
Marquis 2018 D’alesme Margaux
$154.9955% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aging in 65% new oak
96 Points, Robert Parker: Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with bold, expressive black cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and red roses scents with touches of baking spices, potpourri and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.
95 Points, Wine Spectator: Gorgeous mouthfeel right from the first sip, with a velvety, fine-grained texture that lets the range of dark plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors splay out without losing focus, while mouthwatering black tea, alder and mineral notes wait gracefully in reserve, showing just a hint, for now, of what they can do on the finish.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Muscat
$14.99The winery focuses on creating minimal intervention wines by fermenting and aging in concrete vessels, allowing for micro-oxygenation. This process helps develop a rounder mouthfeel and texture without introducing flavors from oak or additives. This interesting Muscat is a steal at 14.99.
Romiorange Sauvignon Blanc
$41.99This skin contact Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with light dishes – think fresh salads, goat cheese, or delicate fish like sole or plaice. It’s also delightful on its own, perhaps enjoyed during a leisurely picnic or as an aperitif on a warm day.
