2016 Peyrassol Roses

2016 Clos Peyrassol Cotes de Provence Rose...$44.99 

2016 is the first year we are offering this special cuvee. It is made from a single parcel which is equally planted to Cinsault and Tibouren (a touch of Rolle makes it into this cuvee as well).  At the moment of tasting the nose was a tad firm, showing flinty mineral notes. The palate is quite rich and dense with an almost white Burgundy presence. The fruits lean a little sweeter than the other cuvées, with hints of pear and passion fruit. Even so, the wine is completely dry and has a super-long mineral finish. It’s a great rosé that has the potential to age, and we hope some of you keep a few bottles to drink over the next several years.

2016 Commanderie de Peyrassol Rose Cotes de Provence...$21.99
This wine is the classic representation of the pink-tinted wines of this region and is the workhorse wine of the estate. It carries a pale rose color, a lovely fruit blossom nose and finishes crisply dry with a stony touch that gives it class and elegance. The grape blend is usually Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah in varying percentages. The average age of the vines is 25 years or more. The fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures and is exceptionally long, resulting in rosés that are both lively, fresh and full-bodied. 

2016 Chateau Peyrassol Rose Cotes de Provence...$28.99
This is the elite cuvée of the estate relying as it does on grapes harvested from the oldest vines of the domaine (35 years and older). Principally composed of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, the “Chateau” bottling also sees the addition, from time-to-time of Tibouren, the ancient and regal Provencale grape. This Rosé is produced via the “direct press” method and has a long cuvaison designed to produce a wine of character and concentration.

2016 Chateau de Lancyre Le Rose....$17.99

Purchased in 1970 by the Durand and Valentin families, the Château was originally built in the 1500's, on the ruins of a 12th century fort. Records of winemaking date back to 1550! Lancyre is now viewed among the top estates of Pic Saint-Loup, which has justifiably garnered a reputation as the Languedoc’s single best wine district.

A big rosé! Raspberry and pear aromas on the nose, with distinctive spicy, minty garrigue notes. Big, bold and firm on the palate, ending with a long, clean finish.

2016 Le Cirque Rose

2016 Le Cirque Rose...$13.99
Aptly named after the vast, amphitheatre-shaped bowl of vineyards stretching north towards Vingrau, the wines represent phenomenal values, and perfectly reflect the rugged, wind-swept terroir in which they are grown.

Serve With: Excellent on its own, or paired with charcuterie, seafood, and fruit-based desserts.

2016 Villa des Anges Old Vines Rosé

2016 Villa des Anges Old Vines Rosé...$12.99
Situated on the ruins of an ancient Roman villa, the domaine is owned by Jaqueline Menard de Ginestous, who married-into and is herself from a prominent Languedocienne wine-growing family.
Tasting Notes:
A light-bodied wine, intensely crisp and vividly fresh, it offers complex aromas of strawberries and red currants, with a hint of quince.

2015 Raen Pinot Noirs

2015 Raen Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert Cuvee Sonoma Coast...$61.99

Raen's 2015 Royal St. Robert Cuvée is an exotically beautiful, almost overwhelming wine endowed with superb depth and intensity in all of its dimensions. A burst of ripe red and purplish-hued stone fruits rushes across the palate. Rose petal, lavender, spice, blood orange and spice overtones follow in short order. Ripe and racy, but not at all heavy, the 2015 is a real head-turner. All of the depth of the year comes through, but there is also tremendous aromatic intensity and bright acids to balance things out.

Rated 94/100 Antonia Galloni, Vinous Media

2015 Raen Pinot Noir Fort Ross Seaview...$94.99

A wine of total allure, the 2015 Home Field (Fort Ross Seaview) is also the brightest of the three Pinots in the range. Sweet red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, blood orange and chalk are some of the many notes that run through the 2015. Bright, tense and salivating, the 2015 possesses terrific energy, with beams of underpinning salinity that drive the wine forward. This is another captivating wine from Raen.

Rated 95/100 Antonia Galloni, Vinous Media

Averaen Pinot Noir Willamette

2015 Averaen Pinot Noir Willamette....$17.99

“Lurid red. Vibrant, sharply focused scents of ripe red berries and candied flowers are complicated by suggestions of cinnamon and allspice. Lithe and appealingly sweet on the palate, offering intense raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out with air. The floral note comes back strong on the clinging, spice-laced finish, which is given shape by harmonious, slow-building tannins. This wine delivers outstanding value and is an auspicious inaugural offering for this project.”

Rated 91/100 Vinous Media

Abita Macchiato Espresso Milk Stout

Abita Macchiato Espresso Milk Stout....$4.49 / 22oz

Abita Macchiato Espresso Milk Stout combines the rich flavor of roasted coffee with a full-bodied stout. Pale, caramel, chocolate and roasted malts create a dark color and intense flavor. Willamette hops balance the malt flavors, while natural milk sugar and oats add sweetness. During the cold brewing process, espresso dolce beans from PJ's Coffee are added for a natural coffee flavor.

Janasse Cotes du Rhone Blanc scores 92 points!

2015 Domaine de la Janasse Cotes du Rhone Blanc...$17.99

The 2015 Côtes du Rhône Blanc is mostly Grenache Blanc but includes 20% each of Clairette and Bourboulenc, with a splash of Viognier. It was brought up in concrete tanks and is a shockingly good. I wouldn’t hesitate to put this in a blind lineup of top Châteauneuf du Pape Blancs! Offering lots of buttered citrus, white flowers, orange blossom and a kiss of minerality, it’s textured, layered and impeccably balanced on the palate. Don’t miss it!

Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate

Donnafugata Ben Rye Passito di Pantelleria

2012 Donnafugata Ben Rye Passito di Pantelleria...$44.99 / 375ml
The 2012 Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé is the result of a dry vintage and healthy concentration of sugars. Ben Ryé's taste profile changes enormously when you get to these younger vintages. Passito di Pantelleria is a wine that shows a very distinct jump in evolution just a few years into its aging process. Once it makes it past that first plateau, the wine then embarks on an excruciatingly slow progression that takes decades to complete. In fact, looking back at this retrospective, I can't say that any of the wines felt "old" or flat. Even the inaugural 1989 vintage is beaming with life. I have the same high expectations for this vintage.

Amaro Montenegro

The Wine Enthusiast's Top 50 Spirits of 2014
#1 Amaro
Rated 97/100 The Wine Enthusiast

Amaro Montenegro...$25.99

Thanks to the fine selection of herbs, which are combined together following the recipe of a closely guarded formula, its unique and unmistakable taste is characterized by a pleasing blend of sweet and bitter notes. Try Amaro Montenegro’s Genuine Taste, straight or on the rocks!
THE HISTORY
The history of what is now one of the leading liqueurs of the Italian tradition begins in 1885, when Stanislaus Cobianchi decided to set up a small liqueur company against his family‘s wishes, who instead had steered him towards an ecclesiastical career.
At first, the production focused on a number of liqueurs, whose names have nowadays almost been forgotten, such as ratafià, alchermes, arquebuse, persico, old lady’s milk and rosolio liqueur.

THE NAME

His extensive knowledge of herbs inspired him to create a new product, a delicate amber-coloured liqueur that was to become the specialty of the house. At the end of 1896, having to give his new product a name, Stanislaus decided to call it Amaro Montenegro, in honour of Elena Petrovich Niegos, Princess of Montenegro and future Queen of Italy
