Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Fuoricasa
$56.99Light ruby in color, this Pelaverga-based red opens with lifted aromatics of white pepper, violet, and fresh strawberry. The palate is bright and supple, showing juicy red berry fruit framed by delicate spice and lively freshness. Light-bodied yet expressive, it delivers an elegant, silky texture with gentle structure and medium persistence.
Refreshing and versatile, it is designed for youthful drinking and can even be served slightly chilled to emphasize its aromatic, convivial character.
Aydie Chateau 2017 Madiran
$59.99Deep, intense ruby red. Fine, elegant and complex on the nose, with a blend of black fruit and coffee aromas. It starts off rich and follows through with a mature consistency and silky tannins. Fine, precise woody mouth aromas. An exceptional Madiran, powerful and complex, with unusual potential. This wine can very easily be kept for 7 to 10 years.
Clos De La Roilette 2023 Fleurie Tardive
$59.99“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
