Dorli Muhr Carnuntum 2020
$29.00Add to cartDorli Muhr (along with Dirk van der Niepoort – one of Portugal’s finest winemakers) are two of the larger names responsible for the popularity of Carnuntum Blaufrankish, which comes from a mere 9 miles from the Slovakian capital Bratislava and the southern reaches of Niederösterreich.
Low yields from organic vines make the resulting Dorli Muhr wines something special to behold. Concentration with a light body is the balance that they seek, and it is made easier with the limestone soil beds.
This wine is silky but still powerful. The color shines and echoes the ripe cherry and wild berry flavors, but the fresh bouquet of herbs and flowers dances off the mineral core and keeps us coming back for another sip. This is a wine that is light enough on its feet to be delicious today but can definitely stand some aging.
Pair it with wild game, charcuterie, or sausages.

Estate Argyros Assyrtiko Santorini
$50.00Add to cartThe wines of Santorini are exceptional. The picturesque island is one of the most heavily touristed places on earth, but they somehow still maintain an under-the-radar wine region that can compete with the rest of Europe at the highest levels.
Wine has been made on the Cycladic island for around 3,500 years, and in that time, the growers developed special techniques to protect the grapes from the high winds, called the Meltemi, that rip through the island. At many places on the island, you see little woven vine baskets called kouloura, where the few bunches growing on the 100+-year-old vines hang on the inside, safely protected from the wind.
This wine comes from Argyros, one of the leading estates on the island, who calls this their most important bottling as it represents everything they stand for: depth, definition, and concentration.
The vines are over 100 years old and are located in the best vineyard locations on the island: Messaria, Karterados, Pyrgos, Megalochori, and Akrotiri. It is a perfect example of what makes Santorini Assyrtiko so special. It shows purity and raciness without excesses; even better, it can age for at least a decade.
For a little extra credit if you ever visit Santorini or some of the nicer wine bars in Athens (Say hello to everyone at Oinoscent or Heteroclito) keep your eye open for Matthios Argyros’s other project Volcanic Slope Vineyards which only makes one transcendent wine called “Pure.”

Founded by husband and wife team Annie Favia and Andy Erickson in 2003, this winery has been steadily releasing some of the best (and most ageworthy) Cabernets in the valley.The reason they were able to come right out of the gate making such stellar wine is the pedigree that they bring to the table. She managed vineyards for Abreu and then Colgin, Harlan, and Aurajo while he was assistant winemaker at Harlan and then winemaker at Screaming Eagle among other projects.Sourced from three Coombsville vineyards: Meteor, The Rabbit Hole, and Collinetta. A glass-staining ruby-purple color. Intensely aromatic blackberry and cherry fruits are pure, precise, and layered with fragrant cedarwood notes, white pepper, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with unctuous and concentrated dark berry fruits that have a satiny quality, framed by velvety fine-grained tannins and gobs of red licorice, aromatic violets, and graphite. So dense and tightly packed and yet so fresh and inviting. A classic Coombsville expression of Cab. -
