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

Springfield 2024 Life Stone Sauv Blanc
$38.99Hailed as one of South Africa’s premier Sauvignon Blanc wines, Life From Stone is a blockbuster that delivers consistently year after year. It takes its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Intense, stony, minerally Sauvignon with lime, gooseberry, freshly cut green pepper and passionfruit notes. Zippy, zesty, mouthwatering, and utterly delicious. Complex and multi-layered, this is very much a food wine.
Don Quintin Ortega 2021 Rioja Blanco
$39.9980-year-old vines: 90% Viura, 5% Garnacha Blanca, 5% Malvasia
A fruit bouquet dominates the nose tempered with spicy notes of barrique. The palate is rich yet nuanced, with well-balanced acidity.

Ricco Bambino 2017 Syrah
$19.99Mauve and lilac gowns of silk voile waltzing in blossoming gardens that only mother nature could conjure. This Syrah comes from warm sites in Osoyoos crafting a pretty medium bodied red full of fresh fruit.
Collemattoni 2018 Brunello Di Montal
$101.99100% Sangiovese
92 Points Vinous: “Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine”.

Serge Mathieu 2009 Brut Millesime
$124.99It has structure, power and length, and bears the mark of its Pinot Noir. It clearly shows all the work that has been carried out in the vineyards since only very ripe and small grapes can produce such density and structure in a Champagne. 8.6 grams dosage.
Entirely made from Pinot Noir… clear, fresh and straight fruit of yellow skinned apples and Williams pears along with citrus flavors and some stony notes on the nose. This is remarkably elegant and delicate with a mineral backbone and an excellent grippy finish.
