Wine EnthusiastDry, leafy aromas of tobacco, herbs, wood smoke, raspberry and cherry are classic Rioja. This has a mature, smooth, silky feel to it, although acidity is present and accounted for. Flavors of spiced tomato, vanilla, berry, brine and tobacco finish earthy and loamy. Drink through 2019.

Château-d'Or-et-de-Gueules Costieres de Nimes Les Cimels 2003

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!

Palacios Remondo La Montesa 2014

Palacios Remondo La Montesa 2014

Palacios Remondo La Montesa is a red wine from La Rioja produced by Bodegas Palacios Remondo. The technical director, Alvaro Palacios, is known for producing one of the most coveted wines from Spain, L'Ermita, in his Priorat winery. Palacios Remondo La Montesa is a blend of typical varieties of La Rioja: Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo. The grapes come from vineyards planted at an altitude of 550 metres, at the foot of Mount Yerga, in the municipality of Alfaro, in lower Rioja. The soils are mainly limestone and clay with many stones. The climate is Mediterranean with Atlantic influences, with a large temperature difference between winter and summer, allowing an excellent ripening of the grapes. Harvesting is done manually, using periods of little sunlight to keep the grapes fresh. Once in the winery, the grapes are destemmed and go through a selection process before maceration at low temperature for 23 days to extract all the aromas. Palacios Remondo La Montesa is fermented in stainless steel tanks for three weeks. Once, it has passed through French oak barrels (90%) and American oak barrels, (10%) it is aged for 12 months. 20% are new barrels, 30% barrels have contained one wine previously, 25% have contained 2 wines and 25% have contained 3 wines.

Textbook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Textbook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

A diverse array of superb sites in Napa Valley deliver structure, balance and purity. Restrained viticultural and winemaking practices lead to varietal purity and a balanced flavor footprint. Classic Bordelaise winemaking (handwork in vineyard, hand-picking and hand-sorting, new French oak barrels, egg-white fining, unfiltered) provides an impeccably balanced result. 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.

Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Les Galuches 2017

Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Les Galuches 2017

Les 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. Les Galuches is always among the first site to be picked because the soil warms up quickly and drains very well. The wine rests 6 months in 500 litre double barriques. It is very aromatic and is noted for its bouquet of violets, followed by lush and supple dark berry/cherry fruit. Les Galuches vineyard has been organically farmed since 2016.

Domaine la Garrigue Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Romaine 2017

The Cuvée Romaine is a blend made from the more precocious tanks at Domaine la Garrigue. As such, it is in fact a declassified Vacqueyras not needing additional time in concrete. Therefore it can be viewed as a really easy-going "Vacqueyras" or an amazingly complex and serious Côtes-du-Rhône.

Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2017

Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2017

An intriguing wine with an extraordinary vital energy based on wild fruits, wild strawberries, mulberry and pomegranate. An extremely gastronomic version of Cerasuolo which we like very much for its meaty peppery notes. In the mouth the wine reflects its olfactory impressions and thus we happily re-encounter the black pepper mixed with carob and sweet cherries. Quick on the palate with a very savory rounded finish with hints of mulberry. Pairings: In the right season, perfect with a slice of seared tuna, with chopped mushrooms or with feathered game, its harmony with pizza is a surprise throughout the year.

Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap White 2017

Wolftrap is a spicy, aromatic, red blend that has been French oak matured. The oak adds sweet vanilla nuances which complement the soft tannins and generous mouthfeel. It’s a great value. Lots of seductive ripe black fruits here, with some meaty spicy character. The name is a tribute to the pioneers who in the early days of the Cape erected a wolf trap at Boekenhoutskloof. To date, no wolf either real or mystical has been seen in the valley.

Domaine d'Andezon Côtes du Rhône 2017

Domaine d'Andezon Côtes du Rhône 2017

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.

Bodegas Beronia Crianza 2015

Bodegas Beronia Crianza 2015

Beronia was founded in 1973 by a group of businessmen, friends from the Basque country who would come to La Rioja on holiday. The friends had a great love of food and wine and created their own gastronomic society in the area, deciding to produce their own wines to be enjoyed with the local cuisine, initially only producing Reserva and Gran Reserva style wines. The winery integrated into the Gonzalez Byass Family of Wine group in 1982 and began an expansion into international markets. Today Beronia is one of the most reknowned Spanish wineries both in international and domestic markets, producing pure and traditional Rioja wines with their own personality and Beronia style.

Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2014

Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2014

Here we find a wine with medium-high depth of colour, black-cherry red with garnet hues. Dense legs which give us a wrapping sequence in the glass. First, red-fruit notes such as blackberries appear, with reminders of fennel, scrubby heathland, all nicely balanced by the smoked aromas from the time spent in medium-toasted wood. Underlying hints of vanilla pod coming through with coffee notes. Full mouth-feel with slightly mentholated nuances and white chocolate. The vanilla reappears and those red-berry fruit aromas we found on the nose persist, with an elegant acidity which makes the aftertaste long. This wine can be paired with veal, Iberian pork charcuterie and some types of casseroles (stew).
