2023 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans
Winery Notes- Domaine Marquis d'Angerville owns 3.98 hectares in the Champans appellation, located just north of the Caillerets appellation. Two parallel plots make up our part of the appellation (11 hectares in total). They extend from the top to the bottom of the Champans climate and the hillside, thus taking advantage of all the characteristics of this remarkable terroir facing south-east, located in the centre of the Premiers Crus de Volnay. The soil is poorer and rests on a rocky limestone bank at the top of the hillside while the slope decreases towards the bottom and it becomes more clayey, stony and deeper. Historically classified as a Têtes de Cuvée de Volnay, Champans is the archetype of the great Volnay 1 er cru: finesse, fullness and length in the mouth with an extra generosity and power of its own. Depending on the vintage, it deserves 5 to 10 years of ageing to fully reveal itself, but it is generally more easily approached young than Taillepieds or Clos des Ducs.$229.903 -
2021 Domaine Castagnier Chambolle-Musigny
Planted in 1934, these vines rest at an elevation of 886 feet on the lieu-dit Aux Echanges. Integrated pest management and biodynamic practices employed in the vineyard, but no certification. Pronounced aromas of wild berries and dried leaves. Ripe red fruit aromas and flavors are focused with a dense texture. This wine is youthful with lively acidity and a dry, zesty finish.$174.903 -
2023 Hayfork Calistoga Napa Valley Charbono
Winery Notes- The Hayfork Charbono is sourced from the sustainably farmed Shypoke Vineyard in Calistoga, where the Heitz family has been growing Charbono since 1904. This wine is medium-bodied with with stunning dark ruby color and surprising structure. Charbono is approachable but proves its complexity and nuance with layers of earthy tannin and generous flavors of black plum, wild raspberry, warming spices, and bay laurel.$34.9021 -
2023 Road 31 Napa Valley Pinot Noir
Winery Notes- Four plots across two vineyards contributed to this wine. From the Green Island, at the southern mouth of the Napa River, where the water spills into the San Pablo/San Francisco Bay, comes the prettiness of clone 115 and power of clone 667. Stanly Ranch, in Carneros just northwest across the Napa River from Green Island, provides clone 114 structure and robustness of clone 777. What a wine this 2021 Road 31 Napa Valley Pinot Noir is. Imagine Harry Potter, Gal Gadot, Elvis (the early days, not the donut-eating-sequin-wings years), and a 1962 Ferrari GTO all wrapped together in velour. Pull the cork and you may find yourself suddenly reciting Shakespearean sonnets from memory, understanding string theory, and feeling an inexplicable desire — and capability — to dance the tango like a blind Al Pacino. Yes, it is that good.$44.9024+
