Great pairing with Sunday gravy, candlelight and Dino Crocetti. We’ll put this one into the regular winter rotation. Salud! — 4 years ago
Cheers to this amazing American Bordeaux red blend! 58% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. You can feel the red black fruits in the palate commingling with the vanilla, cinamon and toasty okay flavors. Bright acidity. A really great expression of a Bordeaux red blend!

Dang, this wine has such a unique, complex expression, hopping across layered aroma and flavor categories! It’s a 2014 Rogue Vine, Grand Itata Tinto, Los Amigos Red Blend hailing from the granite hills of ITATA in Southern Chile.
This wine is made with 95% Cinsault and 5% Pais varieties, coming from organically grown, dry-farmed (no irrigation), bush-trained vines that are over 60 years old!!
This wine has a pale ruby hue with secondary garnet influences.
On the nose, it has developing, intense aromas of black cherry, strawberry, anise, mint, eucalyptus, potpourri, clove, black olive, rooibos tea, tobacco, cigar, peat moss, and leather.
On the palate this wine is dry, it has medium acidity, medium alcohol (12.8%), a medium body, medium(-) tannins, and medium(+) intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. The finish lingers.
I love that this wine is the product of a fierce passion, shared by friends (and friends of friends), who have committed themselves to producing expressive Itata wines that are gulpably delicious! Salud! — 2 years ago
Intended to be a one barrel assemblage for the French Laundry. Through assemblage, Josh believes that he’s able to showcase the true artistry of winemaking. Homage is a combination of his best barrels from that vintage. A portion of the proceeds goes to support the Salud! Auction. 2017 is definitely a baby. Would love to revisit in 5-7 years. — 4 years ago
NV. Rich and brioche-y. Fig, poached pear, baked yellow apple, brioche, lemon zest. Moderately autolytic. Drink 'em up. Special toast to fellow retailers and other support folk during these strange times! Salud! — 5 years ago

This inexpensive Garnacha rocks. Solid, medium to full bodied. Lasts on your palate. True to Garnacha. Dark plums and cherry. Spicy at the finish. Such a great wine at such a cost. Value is intrinsic to Spanish wines. Great with grilled halibut and white Spanish Asparagus with olive oil and rich mayó. Crusty bread and butter. Tres Leches also goes well with it. Salud, amor y pesetas y el tiempo para gastarlos. — 2 years ago
