Longshadow 2016 Poet’s Leap Riesling, Washington (Pat D.)

We were duly impressed by this new off-dry Riesling by winemaker Armin Diel, proprietor of the famed Schlossgut Diel of Germany, applying his skills to the Columbia Valley!  With spicy and expressive aromatics and flavors of melon, honey, apricot and citrus on the palate, this finishes bright and racy. A beautiful pairing for ham or sushi! Rated 92pts Robert Parker.

Hobo Wines 2017 “Camp” Chardonnay, Sonoma County, California (Andres)

Winemaker Kenny Likitprakong sources grapes through relationships with growers throughout Sonoma County with an emphasis on selecting growers who responsibly farm fruit. “Hobo” refers to Kenny’s wandering fruit sourcing, and not having his own “home” vineyard.  The wine is made employing all native yeasts and neutral oak, allowing a true expression of Chardonnay to shine through. Exuding fresh tropical fruits and a creamy vanilla texture, the crisp finish has you reaching for another glass.

Ego Bodegas Marionette 2017 Red Blend, Jumilla, Spain (Andrew)

This is a blend of 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah aged just a few months in American oak from Jumilla, a DO in southeast Spain. Fuller in intensity and body, this fruit forward and toasty red will pair nicely with barbecued ribs or pulled pork sandwiches.

Chateau Tauzinat 2015 l’Hermitage, St.-Emilion, Bordeaux (Pat)

A Bordeaux from St-Emilion is an excellent choice for a special beef or lamb dinner. This version, from the excellent 2015 vintage, shows beautiful briar and woodland aromatics, as well as strawberry, blackberry, cassis notes and a touch of spice, all in a nicely structured package. The soils are dominated by clay and limestone.  This is a property of the famed Moueix family, whose presence in Pomerol (Chateau Taillefer in 1923) preceded their acquisition of Chateau Tauzinat in 1953. Tauzinat’s history dates back prior to 1789 when it was owned by the Carles family under the reign of King Louis XVI. The Tauzin oak forest, which inspired the estate name, is the home of the Tauzin oak trees, whose roots are home to exquisite truffles.

Olivier & Lafont Vigne de Fer 2016 Cotes du Rhone, France (Jen & Jerry)

This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre from Southern Rhone is intense and richly fruited with black currants, cherries and plums and finishes with a touch of spice! Enjoy with grilled or roasted poultry.

Brancatelli 2015 Valle delle Stella Toscana IGT, Italy (Tim)

We loved this newly arrived “supertuscan”, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc aged in Allier oak barrels for 12 months. The aromatics are intense with cherry, floral and spice while the harmonious palate features dark cherry, plum and earth; this is full-bodied with soft texture and very long finish. Enjoy with braised meats, lamb, venison or aged cheeses.
