This dense and charming Châteauneuf du Pape is another scintillating wine from storied Paso Robles estate. This 2017 'Esprit de Tablas' will be exceedingly long lived.
Minty note sets off deeper smoked meat, redcurrant, mocha, and juniper aromas. On the palate, sweet fruit and liquorice with notes of black cherry and chocolate. Long finish, with lingering flavours of smoke.
40% Mourvedre, 35% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 5% Counoise. This regenerative organic certified estate is dry-farmed, limiting yields and emphasising character of place.
This producer's goal is to produce wines with a true reflection of their varietal character, of the place where they were grown, and of the vintage that they came from.
Pairs perfectly with beef stir fry, lamb stew or roast duck.
Perched on a ridge in Anderson Valley, DuPratt vineyard benefits from unique coastal influences to yield this gorgeous wine with lots of structure and beautiful concentration.
This is a top Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the most influential women in wine, using only the fruit from a single vineyard. This is one of the last old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Napa Valley. Its scraggly clusters of tiny berries yield extremely limited quantities of dark, concentrated and aromatic single-vineyard wine that speaks eloquently of place. This is simply superb.
Cathy Corison is undoubtedly one of the most influential winemakers in Napa Valley. With a hands-off approach to winemaking, she lets the wine do all the talking. This winery holds a well-deserved reputation for producing some of the best cabernet sauvignons that represent the heart of the iconic Napa Valley.
