ASHES & DIAMONDS’ Mountain Cuvée “Saffron Vineyard” comes from Lisa Chu’s organically farmed Mt. Veeder site, located high above the fog inversion line at an altitude of 1,500 feet, where daytime temperatures are often 15 degrees cooler than on the valley floor. the deep-rooted Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapevines were planted in 2000 in thin soils comprised of uplifted marine sediment and fractured shale. Soils with naturally low fertility and no irrigation make for naturally balanced grapevines with low yields and small berries. Once at the winery, the grapes are cold-soaked until native fermentation begins. The resulting wine is bouncy and outgoing, with explosive red fruit aromas like biting into a ripe, juicy plum, and fine, focused tannins.

Loire Valley Cabernet Franc without herbaceous, vegetal notes??? You bet! Ripe aromas of kirsch, cherry, black raspberry, violet and smoky spices. Perfumed and penetrating on the palate, showing impressively pure red fruit flavors and mounting spice. Bright and fruit forward throughout.

Bright and tangy, with saline and smoke notes underscoring the flavors of Roma apple, cherry and crunchy white peach. Lacy in texture, presenting a firm, minerally finish.

The nose is thorough, well set up with dark black fruits, Morello cherries, inkspots of depth, a couch of slightly sweet oak. The palate is luxurious, gourmand, billows out on wavy black fruit content with sweet tannins in tow, the oak bringing its sweetness. This is a flashy style of St Jo, an obvious eye catcher. There is plenty of juice inside it, but it is closer to the Syrah than the vineyard for now.

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.

Green-tinged yellow. Pear, nectarine and orange on the expressive nose, with notes of white flowers and honey adding complexity. Smooth and gently spicy, offering deep orchard fruit flavors and a hint of herbs. Turns livelier with air, finishing with very good punch and an echo of ripe pear.

Petillant is a vi d'agulla, a charming and slightly frizzante wine from the Penedès region of Spain. Its name means "wine with a prickle" and is intended as a fresh, summertime wine. Bright fruit combine with honey suckle aromas. On the palate, the wine is fresh with a rich lingering finish and a touch of spritz to it.

Fresh, dry and delicious, making the case for bigger is better (at least in terms of volume). Bright aromatics of red cherries and raspberries give way to copious amounts of strawberry and hints of cedar on the palate.

Crystal clear, young ruby color. Pleasant nose evoking cherry, vegetal and spicy touches. Fresh palate, slender, supple, juvenile aromas clear and fond of good intensity, we appreciate the righteousness of this wine. A sincere burgundy that can already be opened

A blend of three indigenous Imeretian varieties Krakhuna, Tsitska, and Tsolikouri made by the young woman winemaker Baia Abuladze. This is the most full bodied and darkest of Baia's three white wines thanks to the Krakhuna variety. All three varieties are high acid varieties and have often traditionally been used for sparkling wine given their acidity and minerality. All the fruit is estate grown in the vineyards in the village of Obcha, hand picked and hand sorted. After destemming the wine is pressed and put into stainless steel with partial skins and fermentation starts spontaneously.

Structured and tannic, this is very approachable with aromas of matured fruit, raisins, smokiness, anise, licorice and cured meats.

This is a delightful wine, crowd pleasing and complex. It benefits from its lack of oak by focusing on its lifted fruit—a twist of fresh-squeezed lemon and grapefruit—its acidity nicely measured and not one-dimensional. The crisp freshness is complemented by a hint of white rock and subtle lushness on the back palate.

Dark garnet core, brilliant clarity in the glass. Intense, effusively luscious flavors of ripe red berries with caramelized notes of fig, cherry, and plum, elegantly woven together in barrel. Long-finishing and tannically vivid, yet with a remarkably soft palate.

Chardonnay aromas & flavors. Green apple flavors complement the crisp, lingering finish. Nice and dry, with crisp acidity and a good stream of bubbles, this sparkler has pleasantly yeasty flavors of peaches and cream. The finish is clean and satisfying.

Delightfully sweet with lush fruity aromas. Hints of citrus skip across flavors of juicy peach and ripe apricots. A bright, crisp finish dances in at the end. It’s a bit sweeter than our Riesling.

Tart green apple flavors get down with a white peach undertone. Floral blossoms and citrus aromas do the tango. Light-bodied with a bright finish.

Bursting with summer fruit flavors like honeydew melon, nectarine and peach. Pear and lime notes meld into a soft finish.

The unique high desert Vineyard at Mitzpeh- Ramon is the source of this wine, which has rarely succeeded in Israel. Its medium body and color blend well with its cherry and strawberry varietal character and subtle oak bouquet.

Barone Pizzini was founded in 1870 by the noble family of the same name. It is one of the oldest wineries in Franciacorta, and was the first winery in the region to promote biodiversity and natural farming methods. This choice was made in the mid-nineties because it was considered an essential condition to have “live” vines, which give healthy grapes to make high-quality wines that are a complete expression of the terroir.
