Domaine Ilarria |
Irouleguy Rose |
Irouleguy is a small wine region in French Basque country on the border of Spain. The area is known for its dense, grippy Tannat-based red blends. The rosés here follow the theme as deeply hued, structured wines with concentrated fruit. This expression is a blend of Tannat and Cabernet Franc sourced from old vines that range from 40 to 70 years old. The result is a robust wine with juicy notes of Concord grapes, pomegranate seeds, cranberries, with a mineral-driven finish. A hearty rosé for cool summer evenings. |

Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley |
Blackberry compote joins bramble and espresso for rich aromas continuing into lush flavors. Gunmetal, cedar, and tobacco emerge from the palate, carried by abundant, while supple tannins. This is a generous and lengthy wine offering opulence and fortitude. |

Garnacha 'Cepa por Cepa' |
Made from a careful vine-by-vine replanting of a very old Garnacha vineyard in the hills of Navarra, this red wine reveals the nuanced, almost delicate side of the variety. Energetic, transparent, and subtle, this is a standout wine. Plums, pomegranate, and red cherry set the backdrop for surprisingly detailed layers of white tea, a waft of tobacco, and a pleasing powder-fine earthiness. Savory qualities emerge with further sipping. A pleasure. Best Buy |

Chardonnay |
Citrus fruits are lush yet crisp on the nose of this wine, with hints of fresh caramel and white blossoms. Flavors on the palate are quenching, with ripe Pink Lady apple, Bosc pear, orange peel, and salty mineral on the finish. Pair with petrale sole in butter-citrus cream. Best Buy |
