A delicious and very complex white blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced.

Still young, but already very approachable and drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 16% Grenache Blanc, 16% Clairette, 16% Roussanne, 16% Picpoul, 16% Bourboulenc and 16% Picardan. Aged for 6 months on the lees.

Quintessential. Honey, golden apples, lanolin, and wool. There must be a few grams of RS here. Finish is as long as the day was at our shop. A well deserved reward. Drinking great, but will last and last like the classic it is. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black cherries, black plums, black currants, light oak, mediterranean spices, light earth, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and complex. Elegant and nicely balanced, spicy and entertaining. Feel like a left bank Bordeaux with a touch of Napa.

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Wine Spectator 90 points. Robert Parker 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a food.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Let’s talk about SAVENNIÈRES!!!! 📣📣

Savennières is a small but mighty appellation (AOC), located in the Anjou subregion of the Loire Valley, France and specializes in still, dry Chenin Blanc wines. 🇫🇷

Its growing environment is apt for producing concentrated and ripe fruit, translating into wines with strong aromatic and flavor intensity and higher alcohol potential. 💪🏻 It’s no wonder this appellation is all about Chenin Blanc; Chenin has naturally higher acidity, which can help lend structure and balance to the final wine. ⚖️ 🙌🏻🙌🏻

The combination of these factors sets the stage for winemakers to produce some truly powerful and age-worthy whites that can improve, gaining complexity (and softening) with some time in the bottle. 🤔 🧐 Savennières has a reputation as a more serious, cerebral wine that is meant to be savored, especially when paired with a creamy seafood dish like Coquilles Saint-Jacques! 😋 🥘

🌿This particular wine is the Nicolas Joly, Clos de la Coulée de Serrant AOC (2019) hailing from the prized enclave of Coulée de Serrant AOC (within Savennières AOC), owned exclusively and farmed biodynamically by the renowned Nicolas Joly.

This wine is surely capable of aging for decades but tonight we opted to sip this golden wine during the golden hour with unseasonably warm, summery temperatures here in Minnesota.

🐝 🍯 In the glass, we found concentrated, layered notes of honey, beeswax, yellow apple, ripe apricot, quince, chamomile, dried & crushed white rose petals, toasted almond, hazelnut, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, acrylic paint, wet stones, salted caramel, & butterscotch.

It has texture (and finish) for days and a coating mouthfeel.

🫣 Its alcohol by volume clocks in at 15%!!! But it’s well-integrated and balanced by a crisp acidity and robust aromas and flavors. 👌 — a month ago

“Clos de la Barre” is a lieu dit monopole that has been owned by the Lafon family since 1894.

Opened sometime prior to dinner. The 2018 “Clos de la Barre” pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with apples, pineapple, white flowers, a whiff of matchstick, lemon, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and creamy. A really pretty wine. Perhaps even a little shy tonight. Quality is unquestionably high. Drink now through 2038. — 2 months ago

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.
