Bright, tart citrus notes with a touch of salinity excite the palate. Balanced notes of lime sorbet and white tea flowers exhibit a charming demeanor.
High limestone content affects the mouthfeel but defies astringency through blackberry gelée and a creamy undertone. Austere and sturdy, yet seamless across the palate, with a parade of black olive, licorice, and graphite. Utmost elegance is achieved, and blue floral tones offer the path to a long finish.
A partnership between Paul Hobbs and Bertrand Gabriel Vigouroux, this is an exceptional red. Attached to a mineral base are young, dusty violets, graced with an inky, concentrated tone – almost herbal – with added notes of fennel and oregano. Boysenberry flavors black strap molasses, sweetening, but not altering, the verve of the wine’s backbone.
A blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 5% Cinsault, this offers ripe fruit aromas and flavors intertwined with earthy, leathery accents. Nearly full-bodied and fully mature, it may seem a bit rustic to some tasters, but will endear itself to lovers of Old World wines crafted in a Mediterranean style.
A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Carignan, this is more flavorful and complex than many Rhône wines costing considerably more. Truly full-bodied but neither over ripened, oaked, or extracted, this is very impactful on the palate without being overbearing. Fruit notes recalling dark berries and cherries are accented with undertones of spices and wild herbs, and are firmed by abundant but fine-grained tannins. Very impressive.
Tasting soil and barely ripened cherries, this wine reveals an old-world claim to acidity and texture. Rose petals and hibiscus notes add layers to bright red fruit tones. Juicy, with a spiced cedar-cinnamon finish.
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits brilliant gem tones, highlighted by iron-kissed pomegranate, clove, and sassafras. Taste the earth, steeped in Rooibos tea and tomato broth. Fascinating flavors abound.
