Red
Cedre 2019 Heritage Cahors
$29.99A pure product of Cahors, made of Malbec complemented by some bunches of Merlot. An intense and fresh nose, with blackcurrant, wild pepper and mint. A smooth and delicious wine that pairs well simple and honest food: some grilled vegetables, a creamy polenta with simmered meat, or matured cheeses.
Rust En Vrede 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
$61.99Expressive black fruit jumps out of the glass. Juicy black cherry and cassis combine with blueberries, licorice and sandalwood. Full bodied and intense on the palate. Fine grained, grippy tannins balance well with a fresh, black-fruit acidity. Tobacco, nutmeg and savory spice bring complex layers to mulberry and bramble fruit that round out the palate. A typically well-structured Cabernet with excellent length.
91pts Wine Spectator: ‘A fresh, harmonious Cabernet, offering ripe boysenberry and cassis fruit flavors counterpointed by savory notes of bay leaf, graphite, smoke and woodsy spices, with refined tannins. Drink now through 2028.’
La Vialla 2019 Chianti Superiore ‘Casa Conforto’
$47.9992 Points, Wine Enthusiast:
“Earthy and savory, this enjoyable red opens with aromas suggesting underbrush, camphor and wild herbs. Showing the same earthy finesse as the nose, the palate is polished and tangy, doling out crushed raspberry, blood orange, star anise and truffle. Lithe tannins and bright acidity keep it fresh, taut and balanced.” – 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
Nespolino 2022 Sangiovese Merlot
$17.99Made from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, this medium bodied red may even be served slightly chilled. Centered on notes of cherry, violet and spices, the wine is supple, easy to approach. Ideal for complementing an osso buco or spinach cannelloni.
Montezemolo 2019 Barolo Monfaletto
$112.9995 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (2019 Vintage):
“The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore.”
The Nebbiolo that comes off this property is some of the best in La Morra. Even in challenging vintages the Monfalletto terroir yields Nebbiolo that is both powerful and supple. Insiders know that this is one of the best terroirs in Barolo. The 2019 vintage is perhaps its best yet, with stellar ratings across the board – it captures the true essence of the Langhe region.
