FRIDAY'S TASTING:
2007 Buondonno Rosato, Chianti Classico, Sangiovese
$19.99 a bottle, $203.90 a case, or $16.99 a bottle as part of a mixed case.
This medium-bodied, dry Rosé has a structure more like a young red,
with layer upon layer of flavor revealed with each successive sip. Lush, fresh, and fragrant, there's a
hint of violets in the nose.
Intense and rich, it has good acidity and just a touch of
minerality. On the palette, there
is strawberry, rose petal, and a touch of licorice spiciness. The finish is
clean, soft and dry, making it easy to drink, even during a hot, Tuscan summer. Its unique heritage and wonderful taste
make this a great conversation wine.
2009 Breggo, Anderson Valley, Pinot Gris
$27.99 a bottle, $285.50 a case, or $23.79 a bottle as part of a mixed case.
Our Anderson Valley Pinot Gris, a blend of fruit from opposite ends of the Valley, is packed with wonderful aromas of nectarine, key lime pie, and honeydew melon. Hints of honey, mandarin orange, and lime blossom add depth to the nose. The mouth explodes with rich flavors of honey, white peach, marmalade, and hints of white pepper. The rich texture of the wine is lifted by its bright acidity that leaves a long intense finish. 2006 Palazzo, Napa Valley Red Wine, A blend of Merlot, Cab Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon
$58.99 a bottle, $601.70 a case or $50.14 a bottle as part of a mixed case.
Palazzo's deep ruby/purple-tinged, full-bodied 2006 Proprietary Red Wine (68% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals a sumptuous perfume of white chocolate, fruitcake, black cherries, black currants, and subtle toasty oak. Displaying a luscious texture, a broad, savory mid-palate, and gorgeous length, it should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. This serious, small, artisinal operation is owned by Scott Palazzo, who, along with his winemaker, Peter Franus, is turning out some complex, French-inspired offerings.

JUNE WINES OF THE MONTH
2009 Tour du Bon, Bandol,
Rose´, Provence France
$27.99
a bottle, $254.90 a case, or $21.24 a bottle as part of a mixed case.
Tour du Bon is a traditional estate based
in one of
Provence's
most prestigious appellations, Bandol. The area is renowned for the
quality of
its pale, intensely flavored rose wines. Tour du Bon's soft,
ochre-tinged
robe rose is highly evocative of the reassuring heat of the Provençal
countryside. The wine is very subtle and exudes perfumes that are at
once
invigorating and sweet. Soft and spicy on the palate, this rose is a
good match
for a wide range of foods, from seafood to North African-style dishes,
the more
exotic the better. (35% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 30% Cinsault, 10%
Clairette).
Serve at 55°F 2008 Jean Manciat, Charnay-les-Macon, Burgundy, France,
Chardonnay
$21.99 a bottle, $224.30 a case, or $18.70 a bottle
as part of a mixed case.
Jean
Manciat was one of the very first wines in Joe
Dressner
and Denyse Louis' portfolio and this excellent producer stands head and
shoulders above the ocean of co-op wines in the Macon area. Manciat has
only
5.5 hectares largely planted to old vines (50+ years) and the vines are
hand
harvested. The yields are very low for the appellation, less than
50hl/ha a
fraction on average. Grass is planted in between the rows of vines in
order to
maintain a healthy micro-climate in his vineyards. The Macon-Charnay is
produced in stainless steel vats, to express the fruity, floral aromas
and
flinty minerality that characterize the best Chardonnay in the
region. The
wine's rich in texture is balanced by a nice core of acidity, and white
fruits dominate the palate.
2009 O'Reilly's Pinot Noir, Oregon, Pinot Noir
$24.99 a bottle, $254.90 for a case, or
$21.24 a
bottle as part of a
mixed case
"Our fruit for the 2009 O'Reilly's Pinot Noir was sourced from several small vineyards throughout the Willamette Valley. The warmth of the '09 growing season in this region yielded beautifully ripe fruit with bright acidity and rich flavors. This Pinot Noir is well balanced with vibrant red fruit aromatics of cherry, blueberry and rose. A rich jammy fruit mid palate finishes with pie crust, cola and a hint of cinnamon spice.
Enjoy this excellent example of Oregon Pinot Noir with your favorite grilled salmon recipie, chanterelle mushroom risotto, or just by itself with a good friend. " |
