Alexana 2023 Mosaic Pinot Noir (93 pts, Wine Spectator) – “Lively and fresh, with lovely raspberry and strawberry flavors accented by orange blossoms and fresh violet as this glides on the long, supple, refined finish.” BUY NOW
Corazon Del Sol 2022 Cabernet Franc (91 pts, Wine Advocate) – “The 2022 Cabernet Franc fermented in stainless steel and matured in French barrique for 14 months. It leads with a distinctly fresh, alpine nose of fresh herbs and balsamic aromas surrounding a stony core. The palate is elegantly ripe and refined, concluding with a savory, drying finish that balances succulent fruits and savory undertones. This is a lovely example of Uco Valley Cabernet Franc to enjoy over the next handful of years.” BUY NOW

Saturday Wine Tasting
Loredan Gasparini Asolo Prosecco Superiore(92 pts, James Suckling) – “Lots of initial froth here, which takes a while to subside and allow the lovely lemon and lemon blossom aromas to rise out of the glass. There are hints of licoricy chalk here, too. On the rather dense palate, the chalk turns to fresh cream and the lemon is absorbed into the creamy mineral texture with enough fizz to keep the sparkle up. Lovely, enduring and creamy yet biting finish. This is very fine Prosecco.” BUY NOW
Marrenon 2024 Méditerranée Viognier – Bright and aromatic with peach, apricot, and citrus blossom. Light-bodied with a fresh, easy-drinking finish. BUY NOW
Mas de Gourgonnier Les Baux-de-Provence Rosé 2024 – Crisp and dry with wild strawberry, citrus, and subtle herbs. Refreshing acidity and a clean, Provençal finish. BUY NOW
Château Bianca 2022 Pinot Noir – Soft and silky with red cherry, raspberry, and a hint of spice. Light tannins and a smooth, balanced finish. BUY NOW
Pierre Gaillard 2021 Crozes-Hermitage – Juicy dark berries, black pepper, and violet notes. Medium-bodied with savory spice and a structured, elegant finish. BUY NOW
