COTES-DU-RHONE VIEILLES VIGNES
$23.99 BTL./$287.88 CASE
COTES-DU-RHONE VIEILLES VIGNES
$23.99 BTL./$287.88 CASE
Founded in 1932, Domaine Clos du Mont Olivet is a traditional Rhône producer of standout Châteauneuf, Lirac and Côtes-du-Rhône wines; this old-vine Côtes-du-Rhône deserves attention.
From 50–70-year-old vines near Orange and Saint Laurent des Arbres, this blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault and 5% Carignan rises well above typical Côtes-du-Rhône. It offers strawberries-and-cream aromas, Thai spice, white pepper, blackberry, smoke and impressive persistence—a broad-shouldered Rhône that over-delivers and begs for lamb. Drink through 2033.

CERASUOLO D'ABRUZZO ROSE

CERASUOLO D'ABRUZZO ROSE
$14.99 BTL./$179.88 CASE
As tomatoes arrive and Caprese salads multiply, few pairings sparkle like Abruzzo rosé. Italy has plenty of rosato, but only three areas have centuries-old traditions: Lombardy’s Chiaretto, Puglia, and Abruzzo’s Cerasuolo. Made entirely from Montepulciano, this vivid pink rocket of love is built for pure pleasure.
Licorice whip and strawberry frame subtle mineral notes and freshly cut herbs, while the cool, ethereal texture carries the aromas through the palate. The finish pops, grips the tongue, and glides away. Beautifully dry and seafood-friendly, it shines brightest with Caprese salad or arancini.

MACON-PIERRECLOS ROUGE
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
MACON-PIERRECLOS ROUGE
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
Domaine Lapalus handles reds as deftly as whites. From Macon-Pierreclos in the Maconnais region of Burgundy, red Macon is compulsory to be 100% Gamay; the local Pinot Noir is labeled Bourgogne Rouge.
Though just 20 minutes from Beaujolais, its different soils give this Gamay a distinct voice, with fragrant cherry, plum, black pepper and rose petal notes, lively texture, defined fruit, sneaky volume and length. Ideal with roasted chicken, other feathered fare or charcuterie.

2023 PAOLO SCAVINO
LANGHE NEBBIOLO
$26.99 BTL./$323.88 CASE
LANGHE NEBBIOLO
$26.99 BTL./$323.88 CASE
Sourced from two La Morra sites and declassified from Barolo into Langhe Nebbiolo, this wine is built for drinking pleasure over the next 4–6 years while the more formidable Barolos rest. For lovers of Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco, it is an ideal choice.
Aged 10 months in neutral barrels, it opens with violet, pekoe and licorice, accented by occasional dark chocolate notes. The palate is lacy and generous, with seductive flavors that capture the essence of La Morra. It gains depth as it moves toward a vibrant, abundant finish with deceptively firm structure. Delicious now, especially with mushroom-rich risotto.

2023 GOODFELLOW PINOT NOIR
WILLAMETTE VALLEY

WILLAMETTE VALLEY
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
Calling this wine “entry level” misses the point, given the impressive vine material behind the blend. Declassified from single vineyards including Durant, Whistling Ridge and others, this Pinot Noir is a compelling Village-style expression.
Whole-cluster fermentation brings a pale hue and layered aromatics. With air, notes of blackberry, strawberry, gentle herbs, spice, earth and red-hot-candy pepper emerge. Clear, refined and provocative, it carries lifted fruit and structure into an earthy, spice-tinged finish. Drink over the next 6–8 years.

DRY FURMINT

DRY FURMINT
$16.99 BTL./$203.88 CASE
Hungary’s Tokaji region is best known for dessert wines, but it also produces compelling dry whites. Founded in 1991 by 12 wine lovers as one of the region’s first private wineries, Chateau Pajzos is now owned by famed Pomerol producer Chateau Clinet, and the wines are enchanting.
Fervent is the word for this bone-dry white. It delivers a brisk thrill ride of lime, melon, chamomile and mineral. Lively, mouthwatering and refreshing, it pairs beautifully with shellfish or charcuterie.

FALANGHINA 'CAMPANIA'
$13.99 BTL./$167.88 CASE
If you find yourself stuck in Pinot Gris purgatory or Chardonnay Hell then you need to free your mind and follow your ass to this wonderful, energetic dry white wine from Campania.
Fresh-cut mandarin, anisette, earthy tones and delicate white flowers rise gently from the glass. The palate is intense and nervy, with melon, blood orange and white spice adding lift to its ravishing texture. Distinctly Italian and Neapolitan, it delivers the mineral, sea-kissed character that makes wines from this area so pleasurable. Pair it with spicy tomato-based seafood or grilled fish with lemon and capers.

RIBERA DEL DUERO RESERVA
$49.99 BTL./$299.94 - SIX PACK
Founded in 1992, Viña Sastre is a prized Ribera del Duero estate known for age-worthy red wines from top single vineyards.
Jesús Sastre selects 100% Tempranillo from 1964 vines planted at around 2000 feet for this broad, classic Duero. At seven years old, the oak has integrated, revealing blackberry, graphite, spice, smoked bacon and licorice. Full-bodied, deep and balanced, it has the grip to age through 2030, yet enough fruit to enjoy now with hearty dishes like steak or pork loin. At $50, it is a serious value compared with others top names in the region which would easily fetch twice the price.

MARGAUX 3RD GROWTH
$179.99 BTL. - LIMITED
We don’t often have the chance to offer fifteen-year-old Bordeaux from top vintages, and historic Margaux château Cantenac Brown made one of its greatest wines in 2010.
61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot. Black plum and crème de cassis lead into classic Margaux velvet, with firm tannins, dark chocolate and Havana cigar notes emerging as it opens. Once stern, the 2010 is now becoming accessible while retaining the structure to develop and drink well through 2040+.
