Vecchia Romagna Riserva Tre Botti Brandy

 

Vecchia Romagna Riserva Tre Botti Brandy....$42.99
Triple Oak
The Riserva Tre Botti is the result of the expertise and creative flair of Vecchia Romagna, a company that has mastered the secrets of brandy production for two centuries now.
This product acquires its richness and intensity from the blend of great spirits; the finest of which are aged for up to 10-15 years.
The spirit is aged in three different barrels: the small French oak barriques to define structure and character, the large Slovenian oak barrels to bestow softness and smoothness, and the tonneau barrels – previously used to store Italian red wine – to obtain refined, velvety notes.

Domaine de Servans Cotes du Rhone





New 2023 vintage!
One of our top selling CDRs!
2023 Domaine de Servans Cotes du Rhone....$14.99

The new vintage is 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache
The grapes for this wine are organically grown in sandy clay soil in two different parcels: 4 hectares surrounding the domaine; and 4.5 hectares in the quarter called le Moulinas. The yields are 45 to 50 hl/ha and the vines average 40 years in age. The grapes are harvested by hand with a hand triage to select only the best quality grapes. They are de-stemmed and crushed, followed by maceration in temperature controlled tanks. The two grape varietals are vinified separately based on the time at which they are harvested. This ensures that each grape variety is brought in and vinified at optimal maturity. The wine rests in tank and is racked 2 to 3 times over the winter.

In 2015 the Graniers decided to continue to increase the percentage of Syrah in their blend. This increase has given the wine added depth and concentration, without sacrificing balance in the wine. In the mouth, rich blackberry notes give way to red cherry and black pepper spice. Even with the increased percentage of Syrah, the tannins are very supple and round in the finish. The current blend is 60/40 Grenache and Syrah. The wine is certified organic by Ecocert

Turley

Stunning Zinfandel!


2022 Turley Old Vine Zinfandel...$32.99
As with the Juvenile bottling, the 2022 Zinfandel Old Vines punches above its weight in this vintage. The nose is considerably deeper, fuller and more polished, opening with aromas of crushed plums, wild berry preserves, tobacco leaves and similar autumnal accents to its younger sibling. The palate is light- to medium-bodied, carrying through the polished quality of the nose and melds it with a subtly dusty tannin structure and bright acidity. The finish is straightforward and easy to drink, offering generous layers of fruit, spice and floral notes.
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate

2022 Turley Zinfandel Pesenti....$47.99
Medium ruby in the glass, the 2022 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is refined and pure on the nose, leading with varietally classic aromas of yellow peach, wild red berry jam, touches of woodsmoke and tomato leaves and a mix of earth-driven, evergreen aromas. The palate clearly shows its warm-climate origins with its rich, concentrated, explosively perfumed red fruit flavors. It admirably retains precision despite this massive frame and is lined with fine-grained, generous tannins. The finish is led by peachy, fruit-driven perfume with just enough tangy acidity to prop up the long, juicy finish that calls you back to the glass.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator


2022 Turley Zinfandel Turley Estate....$49.99
The 2022 Zinfandel Turley Estate is composed of three generations of plantings that commenced in 1996. Medium to deep ruby in the glass, it opens with pure, deep, characteristic aromas of grilled yellow peaches, red cherry, redcurrant, lavender, leather and angostura bitters, revealing finer detail as it spends time in the glass. The palate is massively rich, full-bodied and powerful, with a brooding density that melds with grainy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is layered, dramatic and perfumed, with an overarching youthful density that will take a few years in bottle to unwind. This is a lovely effort that combines modern density with a classically framed structure.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
Refined and polished, with a simmering power beneath the surface, offering expressive flavors of raspberry, garrigue and savory that gather richness toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034. 1,900 cases made.

Wattie Boone & Sones 11 year Old Small Batch Whiskey Ancient Reserve

Historians have long said that Kentucky Bourbon pioneer, Wattie Boone, was likely the first to officially make whiskey in Kentucky, documented as early as 1776, the same year Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. A brave pioneer, Wattie made his way through the Appalachian Mountains’ Cumberland Gap, before arriving in what is today, Nelson County. Enjoy every drop of this whiskey as we take you on Wattie’s journey from Tennessee to his first home in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Wattie Boone & Sones 11 year Old Small Batch Whiskey Ancient Reserve....$119.99
94.7 proof

This special release of Wattie Boone American Whiskey was distilled in Tennessee utilizing a proprietary bourbon mashbill, then aged in a single-story warehouse in the heart of Kentucky’s bourbon empire, along the very river where Wattie distilled his first Kentucky Bourbon. Resting in experimental oak barrels for more than 10 years, each 2-3 barrel batch provides a unique, subtle sweetness with balanced oak and hints of vanilla. Finished at 94.7 proof, this whiskey segues from well-made corn, rye and malted barley, to lingering notes of sweet spices, coupled with a touch of anise and the return of long, drawn-out Madagascar vanilla, resulting in an irresistible combination of a finely distilled whiskey.

Old Man Winter Bourbon from the Black Hills

Old Man Winter Bourbon from the Black Hills....$149.99
109.8 Proof
The art of the blend is on full display with this latest imagination of Old man Winter. A legendary label now available to the domestic market for the first time in many years. An amalgamation of bourbon from our vintage stocks at Preservation Distillery, this bourbon is inspired by the flavor profiles of long ago. Rich dark pitted fruits with hints of sweet spice, dusted anisette, and caramel coat the palate.
A rich mouthfeel with a warm, lingering finish allows this expression to standout in the category. True to our process, each bottle is meticulously crafted and finished in our hand-dipped winter wax.
The latest vintage release from Preservation Distillery and Farm, Old Man Winter is a rarely seen bourbon, this expression being no exception. Old Man Winter is a boutique bourbon brand occasionally appearing in the United States except for those who may have found the bottling internationally. The counterparts to the brand include the likes of Very Olde St. Nick, Wattie Boone, and Rare Perfection bottlings. Having bottled for several decades, these releases are instantly recognizable from their uniform use of the same cursive script-style typeface and are highly collectible
