The Cellar Shot
- Granville Pinot Noir 2021, Willamette Valley - From the Koosah Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Fresh and concentrated with dark fruits; notes of fresh plum, leather hide, and dried rose with a rustic texture. Limited production organically farmed goodness!
- I. Brand Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Santa Cruz Mountains - From Bates Ranch planted in the 1960’s. Classic bouquet of black fruits, aged leather, dark chocolate and herbs. Bright acidity, balanced with integrated tannins. Why Napa when you have Santa Cruz less $?
The Californian
- Terre Rouge Syrah 2018, Sierra Foothills - Deep color with rich, silky, raspberry fruit flavors. Pepper, sage, olive, and tar tone; acid balance, very smooth and savory in the mouth. Purity of a Syrah from St. Joseph!
- Gros Ventre Gamay Noir 2021, Alisos Canyon - Fruit from Nolan Ranch. Partial whole cluster and native ferments. Strawberry, cranberry, roses, cedar, and spice. Nuanced Central Coast Gamay!
- Cobb Riesling 2022, Mendocino County - Aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white peach. Notes of jasmine and wet stone. Precise and electric. Racy acidity with a hint of salinity, and a long, crisp finish. Top Cali Riesling!
The Trust Fall
- Frederic Mabileau 'Hypnotic' Pet-Nat Rose 2022, Loire, France - A Cabernet Franc blend. Biodynamic and certified organic. Aromas of soft red fruit and jasmine. Vibrant acidity. Notes of cherry blossoms and candied raspberries. Mesmerizing!
- Apátsági Furmint 2020, Somló, Hungary - Full bodied, very balanced, fruity, tropical fruit, and pineapple. Sweet and salty acidity. Dry Furmint soooo goood!
- Figli Luigi Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo 2021, Piedmont, Italy - Fine-grained tannins and impressive length. Attractive and effusive aromas of roses, herbal spice. Perfectly ripened strawberries. Same ‘zip code’ as Barolo for less $!
