Domaine de Fondrèche |
Rouge |
Beautiful salmon in color, the wine has a fragrant nose of freshly picked red cherry, strawberry, and rosehip. The palate begins with a twist of blood orange peel and quickly moves into stony, chalk-dusted minerality on the finish. Pair with a crispy chicken sandwich, charcuterie, and onion rings. |

Blackberry compote joins bramble and espresso for rich aromas continuing into lush flavors. Gunmetal, cedar, and tobacco emerge from the palate, carried by abundant, while supple tannins. This is a generous and lengthy wine offering opulence and fortitude. |

Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder |
Blue and black fruits join cracked pine, cedar, and fresh earth for an aromatic and structured wine. Fruit forward with textural tannins, it has the wild forest and mountain character of Mount Veeder peeking through, and a lengthy finish. |

Chardonnay |
Citrus fruits are lush yet crisp on the nose of this wine, with hints of fresh caramel and white blossoms. Flavors on the palate are quenching, with ripe Pink Lady apple, Bosc pear, orange peel, and salty mineral on the finish. Pair with petrale sole in butter-citrus cream. Best Buy |

Garnacha 'Cepa por Cepa' |
Made from a careful vine-by-vine replanting of a very old Garnacha vineyard in the hills of Navarra, this red wine reveals the nuanced, almost delicate side of the variety. Energetic, transparent, and subtle, this is a standout wine. Plums, pomegranate, and red cherry set the backdrop for surprisingly detailed layers of white tea, a waft of tobacco, and a pleasing powder-fine earthiness. Savory qualities emerge with further sipping. A pleasure. Best Buy |

Chardonnay 'Vega Sindoa' |
Fresh, lifted aromatics and crisp flavors of quince and apple (with a squeeze of pineapple and lemon) linger through a lengthy finish. Built for refreshment, there is also plenty of charm. Best Buy |

Pinot Noir Rogue Valley |
Pinot Noir fans should do everything possible to find this incredible value. It all starts with ripe red-cherry and tart blackberry aromas playing off one another in fine sweet-tart fashion. Additional aromas of black tea and loamy soil linger in the background. Then comes a delightful blackcap-raspberry-jam flavor that is balanced by lemony acidity and fine-grained tannins. There is also this baked good flavor that, appropriately enough given the raspberry jam, comes across like a warm sourdough biscuit. The wine's texture is extraordinarily silky, like sliding into a bed made with 600 thread-count sheets. Editor's Choice |
