Château-d'Or-et-de-Gueules Costieres de Nimes Les Cimels 2003
Fruit is de-stemmed before fermentation in tank, and an extended maceration helps develop the intense color, and heady aromatics found in this wine. Notes of roasted herbs, straw and anis on the nose give way to a palate of ultra ripe, sweet red fruits that just don't stop. Vintage in and out, this is always among the finest values in our portfolio!

Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Les Galuches 2015
The Galuches lieu-dit is an ancient river bed of the Loire. The name of parcel derives from the presence of gravel. According the records from the era, vines were already well established in this sector by the 1830s. The Cabernet Franc ripens very well in the domaine's 10 hectare holding on a sand and gravel soil. The Galuches is always among the first site to be picked because the soil warms up quickly and drains very well. The wine is very aromatic and is noted for its bouquet of violets, followed by lush and supple dark berry/cherry fruit.

Domaine d'Andezon Côtes du Rhône 2016
In 1994 Eric Solomon visited the Vignerons d'Estézargues and met a young, passionate director/winemaker named Jean-François Nicq. By the end of the day, they had decided on a custom bottling of old vine Syrah from one of their best parcels, Domaine d'Andezon. This opaque-black, blockbuster Syrah could have been a top Northern Rhone wine. What a find! Previously sold in bulk (vinous suicide) to a very famous producer in the Rhone Valley, Eric jumped at the opportunity to spotlight this unique expression of Syrah from a little-knowm corner of the Rhône valley. Depending on the vintage, up to 10% of the blend is Grenache from the same terroir as the Syrah.

We do not endeavor to make an uber-ripe, over-oaked Cabernet Sauvignon. Instead, we look for nuance and balance. Collectively, our 2017 showcases superlative "Napa Valley Cabernet" in a classic, delicious and very well-mannered way.
