Domaine Jean Reverdy is located in Verdigny, one of the top villages in Sancerre. The domaine dates back to 1650 and has been in the family for about 10 generations. The family grew vines & various other crops, but in the 1950’s, they began focusing solely on wine production. The vineyard is divided into 15 parcels with vines that are 25+ years old with three types of soil. The diversity of soils brings complexity, power and minerality to the wine. Intense aromas of flintstone, citrus, white peach and linden flowers. Rich and fresh in the mouth with mineral notes, citrus fruit and a long finish. Perfectly balanced, clean and pure. 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Saleway Pinot Noir Rosé 2021
Origin: Baden, Germany
Retail: $21.95 | Sale: $19.76
The Salwey estate from Oberrotweil in the Kaiserstuhl area of Baden is situated in Germany’s most sun-drenched region atop an extinguished volcano not far from Switzerland and across the Rhein from Alsace. Viticultural roots of the family date back to the 18th century but the winery was founded in 1950 by Benno Salwey. In 2011 his eldest son Konrad assumed ownership and today is responsible for managing the estate. Konrad is known for his experimentation, taking chances with new techniques and procedures in the interest of advancing the style of vinification. The wines are always fermented completely dry and always characterized and defined by the Loess and volcanic soil of the area. On the nose, fine strawberry fruit, a touch of plum and some smokiness. 100% Pinot Noir
Bedrock Wine Company
Carignan 2021
Origin: Contra Costa, California
Retail: $47.95 | Sale: $43.16
Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. The 2021 Evangelho Carignan comes from a block of 130-year-old vines located at the crest of a small hill in the middle of the vineyard. Here, the breeze from the delta, the banks of which are a mere mile away, blows unabated into the block, preserving freshness and making it one of the latest blocks to ripen on the ranch. This, combined with the interplanted Mataro, makes it one of the most aromatically exotic lots of Carignan that comes into the winery. Fermented with 40% untrod, whole-cluster grapes, this wine shows off the beautiful Evangelho curry spice, pomegranate, and cranberry red fruits in spades. This has a lot of “zing” so will appeal most to those who love brightness in their wines. Ancient, own rooted Carignan & Mataro
