2021 Clos La Coutale Cahors Malbec (half-bottle)
Cahors is the sneakily sophisticated but humbler country cousin of Bordeaux. It’s the ancestral home of Malbec and it captures everything that makes this estate beloved by sommeliers, importers, and everyday drinkers alike: depth without heaviness, structure without austerity, and earthy charm wrapped in juicy fruit. This is one of our favorite party picks.
Organic farming practices and aged for a year in French oak barrels.
2022 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges ‘La Fussiere’ Blanc Premier Cru
Fruit for this 1er cru White Burgundy comes from the highest vineyard site in Maranges (avg. 30 years in age). This is a sneaky premier cru that I think would keep an eye on. It may be the best valued Burgundy on the market.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged for 12 months in barrel.
2022 Wonderland Project Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
Grown high on a west-facing slope above the fog line on the northern ridge of Atlas Peak, this is a true mountain Cabernet. The palate is dense, layered, and impeccably structured, finishing long and refined. It carries the essence of red volcanic soil, wild California chaparral, and sun-drenched hillsides. All we can say is, there’s a reason the The French Laundry picked this gem up.
Organic farming practices, native yeast fermentation, unfined/unfiltered, vegan-friendly and only 1,100 cases produced.
2022 Mauro Marengo Langhe Nebbiolo
The 2022 Mauro Marengo Langhe Nebbiolo is everything you love about Barolo—rose petals, tar, and elegant structure—but in a more approachable, everyday style. The palate is silky and energetic with a long, lifted, and beautifully balanced finished.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, aged for at least 16 months in stainless steel and cement, only 2,500 cases produced annually.
