Selection
Montelena 2018 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh and dynamic, with cranberry, cola, and raspberry jam. The acidity is laser focused, the spine pulling the layers of flavor into harmony with the wine’s supple, yet dense, structure. The tannins here serve to elevate not overwhelm the kinetic balance of texture, ripeness, and vineyard character.
Moulin Touchais 1955 Anjou
Translucent gold in color with hints of brown, a nose of smoky caramel with subtle truffle, and a palate of yellow apple with warm clove and Middle Eastern spices. The wine exhibits a rich sweetness balanced by its natural acidity, resulting in a long and complex finish.
Tasted in 2019 by Greg Sherwood MW, "Brine, tangerine peel, citrus, naartjie and pithy spicy herbal lift. Rich, sweet / sour tartness, bright, vibrant, deliciously juicy. Great salty opulence. Superb." - 96pts, Greg Sherwood
