Treuillet Pouilly Fume 2023
Origin: France
Retail: $25.95 | Sale: $23.35
Sebastien Treuillet Pouilly Fume is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc and is a wonderful example of this classic wine. Typically dry and with lots of green fruit flavours, citrus, lime, gooseberry but also with more tropical notes on the palate. It has great depth and a tangy mineral complexity which is wrapped around the zippy green fruit which follows through to a smoky, flinty finish. Perfect with Scottish seafood.
Kiki and Juan Orange Wine 2023
Origin: Spain
Retail: $21.95 | Sale: $19.75
Vibrant orange color leads to a basket of dried apricot, tangerine and flamed acacia orange drenched in honey. The palate is rich with a medium-to-full bodied texture. The grip on the mid-palate is intense and followed by a good amount of acidity. Apricot saturates the powerful finish, which has hidden layers on salted honey and citrus.
Sablet Côtes du Rhône 2023
Origin: France
Retail: $22.95 | Sale: $20.65
Very well balanced, this is a richer, riper style of Sablet, but it still has the fine-sand texture and fresh tannins, and good length of fruit. The alcohol is slightly warming on the finish, but this has lots of southern Rhône warmth.
Once and Future North Coast West Blend 2022
Origin: California
Retail: $33.95 | Sale: $30.55
Once & Future Vintner's Cuvee, North Coast '22 is a harmonious blend of Merlot and Petite Sirah, sourced from premier vineyards in California's North Coast. This full-bodied red wine offers a luscious palate of ripe dark berries, plums, and black cherries, complemented by subtle hints of spice, vanilla, and oak derived from meticulous aging in French oak barrels. Crafted with precision through hand-harvesting, small-lot fermentation, and judicious aging, this wine exemplifies the attention to detail synonymous with Once & Future wines. While specific reviews for the 2022 vintage are not available, past editions have garnered accolades for their quality and distinctiveness. Enjoy this refined cuvee alongside grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses for a truly exceptional tasting experience.
