Lava Cap |
Petite Sirah El Dorado |
Intense aromatics on the nose of this wine suggest boysenberry, olallieberry, cardamom, chicory, vanilla cream and florals on the nose. Flavors on the palate are red currant and black strawberry, interwoven with coriander, meaty tannins and minerals on the finish. Decant and pair with slow-roasted lamb shank. Hidden Gem. |

Donati |
Merlot Paso Robles |
The 2021 Merlot lifts up with a mentholated mix of wild blueberries, mint and white smoke. It is soothingly round, with ripe red and blue fruits guided by cooling acidity, as a gentle tactile mineral tinge adds contrast. Silky tannins and a hint of brown spice remain, while the wine tapers off long yet pleasantly fresh, with an air of lavender that lingers. |

Valtellina Superiore Valgella Riserva ‘Carteria’ |
A fresh and elegant nose of strawberries, watermelon, leaves, stony minerality and a hint of tar. It’s forthright on the palate, with ripe, firm, dusty tannins, fruit concentration and crisp acidity. Full-bodied. Drink or hold. |

Cederberg |
Cabernet Sauvignon |
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is de-stemmed, fermented in stainless steel and undergoes a longer skin contact than the Pinot Noir (14-21 days), 50% malo in new oak and 50% malo in tank then raised in 45% new oak for 15 months. It offers brambly red fruit, sous-bois and subtle floral scents on the nose, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, fine acidity and quite structured with a dash of black pepper enlivening the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade. |

Ramírez de la Piscina |
Reserva |
The 2019 Reserva is a Tempranillo sourced from San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Ábalos, Rioja Alta. Aged for 18 months in used American and French barrels, this dark garnet wine delivers notes of blackberry, plum, bay leaf and mint, accompanied by hints of nutmeg and coconut. Dry and fairly creamy, with a juicy flow, the fine tannins and chalky mouthfeel lead to a medium-bodied finish. |
