The lush black fruit and sturdy tannins expected of a warmer-climate Cabernet are balanced by brighter fruit, sharp acidity, and a kiss of minerality. Stunning even now, we expect its allure and complexity to skyrocket in the next 7-10 years.

This beautifully balanced Bordeaux blend from the historic Napanook Vineyard (a 124-acre site west of Yountville in Napa Valley) has round, soft tannins and expressive floral aromatics surrounding layers of rich dark fruit and savory hints of cedar and chocolate. Aged in 20% new oak; has immediate appeal but will keep for 10-15 years.

We were somewhat surprised to learn that Isabelle and Denis Pommier’s organically farmed 16 hectare estate in Chablis (est. 1990) near the village of Poinchy is one of the very few in the region to hand-harvest a significant portion of their production! Although most known for their distinctly mineral and terroir-driven Chablis, they also make a small amount of Bourgogne Rouge, such as the beautiful and energetic “Grain de Survie,’ which is equal parts fruit, floral, and earth.

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.

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!
