La Castillonne Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, France
The label says “Sauvignon Blanc” but being from Bordeaux means there is a good chance there has been some Semillon and or Muscadelle snuck in to give the wine its structure. This wine has a little more weight and less grapefruit than in a typical wine from New Zealand, but has more balance than a typical Sauvignon Blanc from California. A great summer wine to serve on its own or with seafood and other lighter fare.
Finca Nueva Rioja Blanco, Spain
This wine is 100% Viura, fermented in barrel at 65°F, over 25 days, and aged for an additional 4 months in French oak barrels with a regular stirring of the lees. Yellow gold in color with creamy aromas that are intertwined beautifully with notes of exotic fruit, including pineapple and passion-fruit. Containing notes of custard and freshly toasted bread on the palate, this wine has well-integrated acidity and an incredibly pleasant finish. Pairs well with savory dishes such as roast meats, frittatas, white pizzas and seafood pasta.
Verdillac Bordeaux Rouge, France
This classically structured blend of Merlot, Cabernet, and Malbec exhibits a harmonic balance that makes it a perfect match for many dishes. Each year the winemaker assembles a tasting committee to review and select the marriage of varietals to create the “cuvée”. Round and fleshy on the palate, with silky tannns and a lengthy finish. Serve with red meats, pasta, or hard cheeses.
Borsao Garnacha Seleccion, Campo de Borja Spain
Harvested from vineyards that lay under the watchful presence of the region’s highest mountain, Moncayo. Borsao is a carefully created wine from the birthplace of Garnacha, Aragon. Cherry red with violet nuances. Has a ripe fruit nose with floral tones. Full bodied wine, spicy and with a complex and long aftertaste. Vinified to highlight the grape’s rich color and deepest flavors Borsao can be enjoyed on its own or with a broad range of foods.
Bella Pazza Sangiovese, Terre di Chieti Italy **Bonus 1 Liter Bottle
Terre di Chieti is a sub-region located in the heart of Abruzzo. The climate is variable with exceptional sunshine and plenty of rainfall. Warm coastal temperatures and cooler inland mountain air create the perfect conditions for the vines to thrive. The Sangiovese grapes are sourced from Bioagricert organically certified vineyards. Bella Pazza Sangiovese has notes of blackberry, cherry, violet and red fruits on the nose. The wine is smooth and velvety on the palate. Fruit and spicy black pepper show on the structured finish.
Domaine Houchart Cotes de Provence Rouge, France
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah is full of warm southern perfumes with wild thyme and spice. With really ripe fruit and juicy black flavors, this is a rounded, warm wine. It tastes of sun, although there is also something more seriously structured about it. It can pair well with anything but is great with barbecue or Italian dishes.
