“Viña Ijalba”
Those words had been following us around Rioja like a strange echo. Their name surfaced in nearly every cellar we went to—yet the estate remained mysterious. It didn’t take long before we gave in to temptation and scheduled a visit.
Grape: Agiorgitiko.Region: Peloponnese, Greece.Style: Medium bodied.Tasting notes: Fresh with flavors of cherries & blueberries.Pairings: Red sauce, Red meats.
The color of Gammes en May, the label and the clear glass may lead one to think that this is not a serious wine but they would be wrong. There is a gregariousness to Thierry Michon who is prone to take up the accordion at a moment’s notice but there is nothing frivolous about Thierry or his wines.
The taste is rich, fresh, balanced with a good structure based on mineral content. The finish is elegant and full-bodied with the scent of peach. It has a deep straw yellow color, brilliant and full-bodied. The intense and lingering aroma alternates between smooth scents of white fruit and hints of vanilla, fern and mint.
This Caberent is a dark ruby color in the glass. There is an array of aromas that includes cinnamon, dusty wood, blueberry, clove and a hint of dry pine. The smooth yet complex flavors encompass attractive black currants, cola, blackberries and dried herbs.
Force & Grace Chardonnay boasts an aromatic nose of crisp apples, ripe melon, and sweet citrus. The bright palate draws on flavors of lemon and Fuyu persimmon, with an edge of stony minerality. Oak aging adds complex notes of vanilla, brioche, toasted coconut, and hints of cinnamon, swathed in a wonderfully rich texture and complemented by fresh balancing acidity.
This wine will be a pillar for California Sauvignon Blanc. The hallmark tropical components are elevated with the structure of minerality that comes from soils at Ink Grade. The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has retained an herbal and mineral note with a backdrop of lemongrass and slate. These aromatics are balanced by tropical notes that create a wine of texture and complexity.
Pontet Teyssier Ch. Saint Emilion Grand Cru is a premium red wine produced in the Saint-Émilion appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. This wine is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, grown in the vineyards surrounding the historic Pontet Teyssier chateau.
While Silvaner remains the second most planted grape (after Riesling) in Germany, it has always remained tucked in the shadows. Frank Heyden quietly makes this example from old vines, and the quality shines so brightly that all shadows disappear in a fresh, zesty, mouth-wateringly delicious wash of Silvaner-ish-ness. Juicy and floral from start to finish, this is a great example of coaxing the best from a grape.
Dark garnet in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of vanilla, dark fruit flavors of blackberry and chocolate with hints of tar and tobacco notes. On the palate this wine has a lush, silky texture with hints of cherry and currant fruit, sage, and roasted fig.
Marciano Estate Winery stands as a beacon of luxury and sophistication in Napa Valley's esteemed wine landscape. This exclusive winery is a culmination of the Marciano family's vision and dedication, resulting in a place where artistry and viticulture intertwine.
Incredible body and richness, yet already balanced, tannins already very round. Great acidity and spice allow for a never-ending finish. Powerful and complex aromas of ripe black fruit, dried herbs and spices, coffee and dark chocolate.
