Grosbois Gabare 2020 Chinon
$59.99Succulent and ripe, offering sweet strawberry and raspberry fruit. The tannins are delectable, coating the palate with a light texture of cocoa powder. It’s a harmonious, textural style that’s easy to like thanks to its friendly personality. Can be enjoyed now with charcuterie and benefits from a light chill.
Bunan 2018 Mas De La Rouviere Bandol
$59.99Deep and structured, with dark blackberry, plum, and hedgerow fruit layered over garrigue, spice, and a touch of game. Built on predominantly Mourvèdre with Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah, it shows firm tannins and savory complexity. Powerful and age-worthy, it opens beautifully with decanting and shines alongside lamb, roast meats, or earthy dishes.
Treat yourself to one of France’s hidden gems.
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.’
