Sabate I Coca |
Castellroig Cava Nature Gran Reserva |
Dense white peach and yellow citrus flavors provide a succulent match for this wine’s mouthwatering acidity. It feels smooth, substantial and balanced, lasting on the pale smoke of the lees and lemon. Chill this for nigiri sushi. |

Aldonia |
Vendimia Rioja |
This is not your traditional Rioja, quite the opposite. Predominantly Grenache, this offering is full of red and bright juicy fruit with notes of plum and red cherry. This modern style has only spent 4 months in 500 litre oak barrels, resulting in a very fruit driven style with a bright acidity and spicy edge. |

Lafond |
Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills |
Deep black plum, clove, dried blueberry, dried roses and dried violets show on the very nice nose of this bottling by Bruce McGuire and pioneer Pierre Lafond. It’s well structured on the sip, disclosing plums, sweet berries and touches of nutmeg and allspice. It’s a strong showing for one of their more affordable bottlings. |

Sneaky Shiraz |
This is a supple, creamy-textured Shiraz to enjoy through 2020. Red-fruit notes of strawberry and raspberry marry easily with dark hints of plum and mocha, then linger gently on the finish. |
