Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Today her legacy carries on—Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden and Winery President Nicole Carter honor her accomplishments every day, sharing Merry’s fierce determination and uncompromising commitment to quality in a workplace where everyone is encouraged to succeed.Don’t take our word for it, here’s what the esteemed Wine Spectator has to say:“A stunning white, this leaps out of the glass with aromatic mango, orange blossom and salted ripe melon flavors.

Michele Alois Caulino Falanghina 2023
$25.00Add to cartThe Alois family has roots in the Italian silk business dating back to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. In the 1990s family patriarch Michele decided to break with the family tradition of supplying silks to the crowned heads of Europe as well as the Louvre Museum and the White House to embark on a new adventure, restoring forgotten varietals and vinifying them.
Today he an his sons work 20 acres in the foothills of the Caiatini Mountains in the province of Caserta, where they make notable examples of Campanian grapes like Falanghina, Fiano and Greco and of course its stately noble red Aglianico, but what really sets Alois apart is their focus on reviving ancient varieties nearly lost to phylloxera, specifically Casavecchia, Palagrello Bianco, and Palagrello Nero.

Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2020
$275.00Add to cartThe story of the legendary Montevertine estate in Radda-in-Chianti begins in 1967, when Sergio Manetti purchased the property and planted two hectares of vines with the modest intention of making wine to share with his family and friends. It turns out he had a knack for the craft, and word swiftly spread in the area about the quality of wine Montevertine was creating from their excellently situated high-altitude vineyards.
The wines have been classified as “Rosso di Toscana” since 1981 due to their strong belief that Trebbiano should not be included in their wines—even though, ironically, they have always been, among the purest expressions of what Chianti can be.
Their vineyards are worked without chemicals; grapes are hand-harvested; fermentations are spontaneous; no stainless steel exists at the estate—only cement and old wood; sulfur is applied conservatively, and only at racking; and neither fining nor filtration are employed.
Not only the estate’s highest achievement, but one of Italy’s great wines. Since 1990 Le Pergole Torte, which translates loosely to “the crooked pergolas,” has comprised the estate’s best parcels and is first and foremost a staggeringly complex expression of pure Sangiovese grown in Radda’s high-altitude alberese sandstone soils.
Unfailingly profound, the 2020 is among the greatest versions in recent memory. In bottle, the 2020 Le Pergole Torte is both sumptuous and poised, simultaneously mouthcoating and racy, with gorgeously refined tannins and crunchy, spice-tinged fruit that feels like the Platonic ideal of Sangiovese.

Montinore Pinot Gris 2022

Today they are going as far as working using the tenets of the burgeoning Korean Natural Farming which focuses on microbiota in the soils of the vineyards. There’s a purity to the earthiness that comes through these wines and we love to see a wine with that kind of natural pedigree at this pricepoint.

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998

While this 1998 also happened to come from a classic year with 1/5th of the grapes being affected by botrytis, there’s no heaviness to this wine. It was has lovely notes of dried fruits that balance with the lingering sweetness—and lucky us, it’s in the perfect drinking window.

Obsidian Ridge Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$50.00Add to cartThis is a wine that is an exploration of volcanic soil in a part of the world where twenty years ago, they planted a vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard, 2,875 feet high in the Mayacamas Mountains that turned out to be a ridge of solid black Obsidian glass. All of the extremes in this site come together to form a truly interesting wine that we think is worth trying for any Cabernet fan.

Paolo Bea Cerrete 2017
$199.00Add to cartPaolo Bea is a singular winemaker who commands an amazing amount of respect from wine drinkers who bristled at the hyper-modernization that was happening around the world in the 90s and 2000s. His wines are deeply traditional. This wine comes from the vineyards at the highest altitude in Montefalco, and the resulting wine is intense in nearly every aspect. Despite being so intense it still has a beautiful lift and will get better and better with age.
