Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres' |
The 2024 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières spent 12 months in barrel. This has quite a complex bouquet, with brambly red fruit, hints of five-spice and white pepper, something almost Moroccan about this, in a good way. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, a silver thread of acidity, very harmonious, with a persistent finish. Excellent. |

Isabel Estate |
Sauvignon Blanc |
Intensity meets poise in this estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc. Notes of grapefruit and wet stone come seasoned with savory herbs like thyme and oregano plus a dash of white pepper on both the nose and the palate, which is decidedly crisp with lemon and orange zest but not without some gloss and weight thanks to partial fermentation in French oak. The tang of green tomato on the finish is subtle but no less seductive for that. |

Brunello di Montalcino |
The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino has a medium red/orange-tinged color and is expressive on opening, offering aromas of baked strawberries, sweet spices, herbes de Provence, and tangerine. Medium-bodied, it has refreshing ripe acidity, ultra-fine tannins, and a silky texture through a very elegant finish. This lovely Brunello has fantastic immediate appeal and should drink well over the coming 6-8 years. |

Pays d'Oc Viognier |
A round, juicy and delicious viognier with notes of apples, fresh apricots and white flowers on the nose. Medium-bodied with a seductive character. Loads of caressing fruit character, with peach skins and apricots mingling on the palate and a fresh, flavorful finish. Drink now. Screw cap. |
