Pinot Noir
MEDIUM-LIGHT-BODIED, RASPBERRY, STRAWBERRY, FLORAL, SPICE, OAK
A very light and refreshing style of pinot from winemaker Michael Brajkovich, who was New Zealand’s first Master of Wine (MW). Fresh, light, and dry, with a vibrant edge and nice hint of chalky tannins — the palate is lightweight yet fruity with a lick of oak spice and angular acidity.

Gamay, Old Vine Grolleau, Cab Franc, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc
LIGHT-MEDIUM BODIED, GLOU-GLOU, RED CURRANT, BRIGHT, JUICY, NO OAK
Fresh, fruity, and fragrant. Made in the ‘glou-glou’ style (French for ‘glug glug’), this easy drinking quaffer delivers on many levels. Carbonic maceration gives it a slight Coca-Cola funkiness, a calling-card for natural reds. Dark red and blue fruits shine with underlying acidity. Chill it and enjoy!

Pinot Noir
LIGHT-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, CHERRY, HERBS, FLORAL, NO OAK
An absolutely superb Sancerre Rosé from 100% Point Noir grapes grown by the Bourgeois family in their home village of Chavignol! After finishing fermentation in stainless steel, the juice rests for 6 months on the fine lees before bottling, giving it greater texture and depth than many of its peers.

Sauvignon Blanc
MED-BODIED, GRAPEFRUIT, MELON, STONE FRUIT, MINERAL, FLINT, OAK
‘Les Charmes’ is a wonderful example of classically styled Pouilly-Fumé (meaning: it is much richer in texture than Sauvignon Blanc from other appellations in the region, such as Sancerre). Hand-harvested from 45 year old vines; native yeast ferment in steel tanks; aged in very old oak barrels.

OREGON : WILLAMETTE VALLEY
Pinot Noir
MED-FULL-BODIED, RASPBERRY, PEPPER, VANILLA, EARTH, SMOKE, FRENCH OAK
Powerful Pinot from the misty northern slopes of Oregon’s Willamette Valley…Although “Nevermore” makes a loud entrance with its display of lush dark fruit, spice, and fine, powdery tannins, it clearly shows a respect and influence from the food-friendly and elegant stylings of Old World Pinot, too. Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”

FULL-BODIED, RASPBERRY, MINERAL, BAKING SPICE, EARTH, NO OAK
This tremendously rich, fruit-forward, and food-friendly blend is primarily Carignan from 70 year old vines, and 10% Syrah from 40 year old vines. A good bottle study for the power and versatility of the oft-overlooked Carignan grape, it’s not to be missed if you enjoy lighter styles of Zinfandel, Merlot, or a Côtes de Rhône blend.

Grand Noir de la Calmette, Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Castelão, Aragónez, Arinto, Fernão Pires
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACK CHERRY, ORANGE PEEL, LICORICE, EARTH, USED OAK
The complex, elegant, and even — dare we say it — Burgundian (??) wines of Vitor Claro and Rita Ferreira at Dominó Winery come from a small, old vine vineyard of co-planted varietals in the Portalegre district of Alentejo, which is known for its uniquely cool climate in an otherwise warm region. ‘Salão Frio’ is their first — and, to date, most important — wine. A true pleasure to drink, it pairs well with a remarkable range of flavors, and is blessedly only about 11% alcohol (because just one glass is certainly not enough).ECOLOGY: Sustainable

MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACK CHERRY, ORANGE PEEL, LICORICE, EARTH, USED OAK
While not yet an official DO, the Sierra de Gredos is home to a emerging class of young, passionate, and innovative winemakers reimagining a region long seen as suitable only for the production of inexpensive, bulk product in favor of unapologetically brazen, terroir-driven wines. This pure and expressive bottle from Bodega Marañones is one such shining example of the truly incredible potential of Gredos wines; if you like being ahead of the curve, we strongly suggest you pay it some attention!

Syrah
LIGHT-BODIED, WILD RED BERRIES, MINERAL, SPICE, SMOKE, NO OAK
“Sehnsucht” (meaning, “wistful longing” in German) is a fresh, summer-y rosé with ripe red fruit, clean minerality, and savory, subtle bites of pepper and smoke on the finish. At the foot of Monte Grappa in Veneto is the small, family-owned winery from whence it came — certified “natural” by the Vinnatur Association, Calalta’s reliance on natural, minimal intervention processes in the vineyard and in the cellar is nothing short of militant…and hey, it works.
