    Very strict hand-selection of the grapes. Pre-fermentation maceration at cold temperatures. It spends 6 months on lees with bâtonnage in stainless steel tanks. On the nose, fresh citric and floral aromas, combined with mineral and tropical fruit notes. On the mouth it is clean and precise with a crisp acidity and a freshly textured minerality.

    Sweet cherry fruit jumps from the glass and is joined by vibrant notes of star anise and clove. These follow through to the wild-strawberry palate, which ends on a subtle lift of dried rose petals. A portion of proceeds goes to the American Wildlife Conservation Partners.

  • Abbazia di Novacella 2024 Sylvaner

    Abbazia di Novacella 2024 Sylvaner

    Price range: $27.99 through $276.00

    Alto Adige Valle Isarco Italy
    The Sylvaner of the Novacella Abbey originates from vineyards located in the Bressanone basin, in the Isarco Valley, characterized by cool nights and good ventilation. It ferments and ages almost entirely in stainless steel, with a quarter of the mass carrying out both phases in acacia barrels. The aging duration is at least 6 months. Straw yellow in color with greenish hues, it has a beautiful fruity nose that revolves around hints of ripe pear and melon. On the palate it surprises in terms of robustness and structure, but at the same time for elegance. Perfect in combination with the first courses of South Tyrolean cuisine, especially with dumplings, but also with salads and asparagus mousse.

    Aromas of papaya, pineapple, ginger and lemon peel drive the nose of this tropical-fruited Chardonnay. The palate brings on an element of roasted apple, barrel spice and a more decadent mouthfeel. The finish vibrates neatly between pithy lemon peel and racy acid with flowers all over. Quite charming.

  • iL Poggione 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli

    iL Poggione 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli

    $129.99

    Tuscany Italy
    Wine Advocate 97 Rating
    This single-vineyard Riserva delivers a generous, abundant and determined personality. This is Brunello with a capital B. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli benefits from a warm and sun-soaked microclimate that is shielded from cold winter winds. You can taste the good health of the grapes thanks to those very direct aromas of black cherry, plum, tar, campfire ash and chalky mineral. The Paganelli vineyard is 12 hectares in size, with vines planted in 1964. The last time this wine was made was in 2012. Fruit from those old vines shape complex aromas, elegant tannins and bright freshness. Despite that handsome DNA, this is another new release from Il Poggione that will require more cellar age. R40-3

  • Peter Michael Winery 2018 La Carriere Chardonnay

    Peter Michael Winery 2018 La Carriere Chardonnay

    $109.99

    Knights Valley
    Wine Advocate 97 Rating
    La Carriere is situated at an elevation of around 1,200-1,700 feet with a rocky, shallow, volcanic soil that gives low fertility and is among the lowest yields of all the Peter Michael vineyards. The vineyard is planted to Dijon and Hyde (Old Wente) clone selections. This 2018 Chardonnay la Carriere starts off very citrusy, leaping from the glass with notes of fresh limes and grapefruit, before coming through with alluring honey-drizzled peaches, fresh ginger and preserved kumquat notes. The medium to full-bodied palate is super-intense with beautiful tension lighting up a shimmering palate of citrus and mineral layers, finishing long and steely. R35-4

    The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is largely cut from the same cloth and reveals a purple/ruby hue as well as a deep, profound bouquet of blue fruits, cassis, dried violets, Asian spices, vanilla-laced coffee, and a whiff of new leather. Complex, full-bodied, and magically textured, it packs loads of fruit and opulence yet stays flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, no hard edges and a majestic, singular personality. As with the 2015, drink this thrilling wine any time over the coming 30+ years. SP13-2
