This Tempranillo-dominant red is a very elegant example of Rioja made from high-quality grapes and meticulous winemaking. If you typically like red blends or Cabernet Sauvignon, give this a try for your next BBQ!
Sustainably farmed 50+ year old bush vines. The wine was aged for 12 months in barrel and only 1,800 cases are produced annually.
Let’s face it, we all love CDP (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), but most of us can’t afford to pull those corks on a daily basis. That is where ‘Vacqueyras’ comes in. It’s swimming in the next lane, with eerily similar characteristics, at a lower price. This is one of my party trick wines (looks pricey and tastes pricier).
You’ve gone from shrubland to woodland to highland. When you stop to sip on a Chief Peak, the piney hops are first to arrive. The tropical tones of passion fruit, orange, and gooseberry aren’t far behind. Look out on the valley and trace the contours of the mountain. Breathe in the thinning air, wipe the sweat from your brow, and take another well-earned sip.
This wine comes from the prestigious hill of Montosoli and 2010 is widely regarded as one of the best Brunello vintages, with perfect growing conditions resulting in wines of great structure, depth, and aging potential. It is drinking really beautifully right now. No need to decant, just open 30 minutes before enjoying.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested and 250 cases produced on average only in exceptional years.
