"Made from 80-85% old vine Grenache and the rest Syrah, the 2010 Abelard is much more Provençal and has a ton of ripe black fruits, licorice, and leafy herbs, as well as some olive tapenade, in a full-bodied, concentrated, ripe, sexy style."

"The Syrah-dominated 2010 IGP Vaucluse Heloise is a beauty that has an open, rounded, complex style. Offering lots of blackberries, spice, hints of pepper and forest floor, It's medium-bodied, silky, and elegant on the palate."

"Sparkling Graceful and creamy, with snappy rose petal, raspberry, citrus and graham cracker accents that finish on a vibrant note. Drink now."

"Sparkling Polished and expressive, with bold brioche and strawberry aromas that open to silky and layered apple, graham cracker and spiced nut flavors. Drink now through 2019." 

"Pure cherry and strawberry fruit graces this delicate Barolo. Elements of licorice, tar and mineral add complexity and there is adequate structure. Still, this should be approachable early for the light weight and balance. Best from 2021 through 203

“This is a screaming deal for a wine of this quality: a light, delicate and earthy expression of the grape that's stemmy and spicy. Forest floor, bark and dark brooding fruit meet a tangle of tight-woven acidity dipped in orange zest.”

Named after the footpath that monks followed to the top of Sainte-Victoire mountain, this wine brings out the texture and the richness of this region of Côtes de Provence. It is made from organically grown grapes, bringing ripe, full-flavored fruit to balance with the good acidity. Drink this rich wine now.

This is a rich, impressive cuvée, named after the cross perched above the vineyards at a height of 3,000 feet. It is packed with ripe strawberry fruits as well as a full and rounded character.

“Slate and stone provide a mineral character to this white wine, fermented in both concrete egg and oak. Mouthfilling and youthful, it offers strong flavors of green apple amidst a steely, complex body of light-bodied weight.”

“Enticing scents of hawthorn, honeysuckle and white stone fruit mingle together in this elegant, structured white. The medium-bodied, savory palate delivers Bartlett pear, ripe apricot and lemon drop notes."

“Bisol's 2016 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Crede Brut is a delightfully sharp and delineated wine with crisp citrus notes followed by white peach, Granny Smith apple and tangy lime."

“The 2015 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard delivers pronounced pink grapefruit, green mango and pineapple notes with touches of jasmine, coriander seed and ginger plus a waft of lanolin."

“The 2015 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard gives up a compelling floral nose of honeysuckle and orange blossoms over a core of ripe peaches and apple pie plus a hint of butterscotch."

“Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard has a drop-dead gorgeous perfume of violets, rose hip tea, warm raspberries and kirsch with suggestions of garrigue, dried lavender, Provence herbs and tilled soil."

“Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley springs from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, warm black raspberries and red plums plus hints of lilacs, Sichuan pepper and aniseed."

“The 2017 Cotes de Provence Sainte Victoire Rose le Pas du Moine is a much bigger, richer wine than the winery's Esprit Gassier. Passion fruit aromas lead off on the nose, followed by hints of guava and pink grapefruit."

Pale peach skin. Intensely perfumed, mineral-accented strawberry, nectarine and orange zest scents and a hint of lavender. Silky, seamless and precise on the palate, offering incisive red berry and citrus fruit flavors and an exotic touch of honey.

Pale onion skin. Fresh strawberry and tangerine scents, joined by a sexy floral nuance that builds in the glass. Dry and nervy on the palate, offering tangy red berry flavors underscored by a dusty mineral element.

Aromas of dark berries and raspberries with fresh herbs, all of which follow through to a full body with tight and focused tannins. A long, flavorful finish. Tight and long. 53% cabernet sauvignon and 47% merlot. Needs two or three years to come together.
