2023 Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant Monterey County Rhône Blend

Winery Notes- The fruit is carefully selected to ensure its full potential of ripeness with balanced chemistry, and as usual for Cigare, Grenache is the star of the show. As we all know, Grenache grown in relatively cool sites in coastal California has a growing season long enough for it to create the spicy, peppery quality that we love so much and expect to taste in Cigare. We included, as is our wont, some wonderful Cinsault, a rather plump and juicy grape, which was signee to a fare-thee0well, to increase the concentration of this lightly colored and structured grape. The wine was aged in stainless steel tank and bottled ten months after harvest to preserve freshness and vibrancy.

2023 Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino

Winery Notes- A mild winter and an exceptionally warm April led to an early budbreak. The cool and rainy months of May and June were followed by July and August with temperatures so high they inhibited photosynthesis and delayed ripening. In early September, temperatures suddenly dropped below average and were accompanied by frequent rainfall. This unusual seasonal pattern resulted in wines that are fresher, lower in alcohol and concentration, yet marked by surprisingly graceful tannins. The color is bright ruby red with fresh, sweet and fruity aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry: floral and spicy notes of vanilla, tobacco and licorice are also evident. The structure is ample, concentrated and harmonious, with good acidity; beautiful final persistence that gives pleasantness to the drink.

2023 Giornata Il Campo Rosso Paso Robles Red Blend

Winery Notes- Always blended to display a signature house style, the Il Campo Rosso marries bright fruit and fresh acidity with a richly textured, medium-weight body. Neutral oak and large Italian casks allow the bright fruit to shine without makeup. A food-friendly, easy drinking style.

2023 Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Paso Robles Rhône Blend

Winery Notes- A pretty, savory nose of black pepper and teriyaki marinade. Lovely on the palate with black fruit and black licorice in front, leavened by plum skin acids and a finish with sweet sarsaparilla and smoky oolong tea notes. It is somehow both serious and playful and should be a great introduction for people into the category of California Rhone-style blends.
