The vinous equivalent of a watercolor painting, this traditional-method brut of Mauzac reveals light brushstrokes of bruised apple, white peach, and lemon dappled with chalky minerality and sourdough toast—all framed by a frothy, almost delicate mouthfeel.
A brilliant wine, with sunshine-kissed mineral tones and vivid citrus. Its depth and complexity of style, its round mouthfeel and saline approach reflect its coastal influence. Notes of Mandarin orange, melon, and mango take elegance to a luxe level.
Steely with leesy richness and a bounty of plump-textured stone fruits. Underlying flinty notes meld with a creamy quality accented by lemon blossom, brioche, and burnt orange peel.
This 100% Tinto del Pais hails from a century-old vineyard 2900 feet above sea level. With 18 months in French oak and 24 months in bottle before release, it is bold and well-structured. Rocky soils are evident on the palate, with dusty tannins pacing like a tiger in a cage until it softens to a purr of boysenberry and dark chocolate.
Crushed stone and a lemon twist is sleek and clean to exhibit the attributes of the Albillo Mayor variety, here from 60- and 100-year-old vines. Aged in French oak for nine months, its leesy character highlights fresh pineapple that settles on the palate with a touch of white tea flowers.
Bright, offering vital acidity and prickly salinity. Notes of pineapple and yellow apple are appealing on the finish. Terrific value!
Vibrant plum and mocha are charming. Spiced cedar and coffee notes are expressive.
