Domaine des Marechaux Bordeaux Superieur 2020
$17.00Add to cart100% merlot made from 30 year old vines farmed at Europe’s highest level of sustainability. Aged in concrete vats. A really great way to learn what merlot should taste like.
This is a fresh take on Bordeaux – has all of the dark fruit you want out of Merlot and a touch of spice, without being overly oaked or tannic. Supple enough to drink on its own or to cut through fatty meats at the table. Definitely over delivers for the price point! – Ben

Foxen Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2020
$50.00Add to cartFoxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly. This fruit comes from the cooler pinot plots of Santa Maria which is closer to the coast than Foxen Canyon. The wine is a delightful pinot with all the hallmarks of fruit that benefits from a big shift between the night and day temperatures, and like all great Santa Barbara wines there’s a distinct tell of salinity.

Francois Labet Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vielles Vignes 2022
$41.00Add to cartThis is a delicious example of a young Burgundy. It’s from a family that works some of the most esteemed vineyards in the region organically and focuses on purity of flavors in the bottle. Francois’s son Edouard has taken over winemaking in recent years and has lightened the wines a bit. The wine is supple, almost taut, but still has a generosity of flavors, especially bright red berries, which grow with exposure to air. Sweet earth and a little white pepper spice glide around the rich core of strawberries and raspberry fruit, all framed by well-integrated tannins that give it a firm but polite grip. This is a sophisticated wine that way over-delivers at its price point.

Gai’a Agiorgitiko 2022
$28.00Add to cartThis red wine comes from Nemea on the Peloponnesian peninsula and is made with the Agiorgitiko (pronounced aye-yor-yes-tee-ko) grape. This is the most planted red grape in Greece and is the only grape planted in Nemea.
The grape has a tendency to grow too vigorously, so the vineyard managers at the excellent Gai’a winery work all season long to keep the vines cropped on these mountain foothills vineyards. The result is a fresh and solid red that is gusty, spicy, and a bit plummy.

Lioco Mendocino County Pinot Noir 2022
$32.00Add to cartPinot Noir loves a cool climate, so the strong influence of the cold Pacific air is the perfect place to grow this grape. The vintage was difficult for growers, meaning that the fruit that did make it to the winemakers was concentrated and expressive—perfect for Pinot lovers. Blending fruit from four sites around the county allowed Lioco to produce a gorgeously balanced wine that takes the best characteristics from each of their sites to produce a wine that tastes like Northern California: brambly coastal berries (cherry, black raspberry), pine resin, dried tobacco, iron, salinity, and blue florals.
