LaPlaya “Estate Series” Cabernet Sauvignon, Colchagua Valley Chile
La Playa wines have always been farmed sustainably. Their early motivation in using these green practices was easy: Sustainable grapes yield the cleanest and more pure varietals. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep elegant scarlet color, with notes of ripe black currant and mocha, with structured tannins and a supple finish. This “Tuesday wine” pairs nicely with casual fare, like burgers, pizza, or brats off the grill.
Luca Bosio Dolcetto d’ Alba, Italy
This Dolcetto comes from the most optimal growing areas in Piemonte. Here the lots are selected and technicians help the wine growers to manage this strong vine, and are able to offer excellent results, so much so that it is the people of Langa’s favorite wine. In the cellar, the winemaking is traditional, using neutral fermentation tanks to preserve the great heritage of fruity and spicy flavor typical of Dolcetto. This wine is ruby red with violet reflections, intensely fruity and spicy. Full bodied, balanced and pleasantly tannic. The fruity nature of this wine makes it a great pairing with traditional tomato-based Italian dishes.
Markou Vineyards “eMeis” Dry Red Blend, Greece
An organically grown blend of 6o year old Agioritiko & Mandilaria vines from Attica, in central Greece by Athens. Although both varietals here are known for their brooding, tannic characters, Emeis is fermented via carbonic maceration (similar to much Beaujolais’ production) which yields a much more playful, candied flavor profile, alongside a supple, lighter-hearted texture. There’s plenty of candied red berries at the forefront so you’ll have a wonderful alternative to Pinot Noir & Gamay.
Aquinas North Coast Pinot Noir, California
Aquinas North Coast Pinot Noir is a finely crafted wine that showcases the depth and versatility of the Pinot Noir grape from California’s esteemed North Coast region. On the nose, this wine presents a captivating bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, and hints of violet, underpinned by a subtle earthiness and soft notes of oak. The palate is greeted with flavors of ripe red berries, complemented by nuances of spice and a smooth, velvety finish. Wine Enthusiast Magazine gave this wine 89 points: “This nicely tangy wine blends red-cherry, raspberry and mild toasted oak flavors for a tasty but lean profile and good balance. Medium body and light tannins give it an inviting snap in the texture.”
