Chérisey may not yet be a household name, but if our crystal ball is correct, it’s only a matter of time. The juxtaposition of the delicacy and generosity of the old vine "La Pièce sous la bois" may require you to run to your nearest fainting couch. When you take a sip it’s inevitable that you will sit down, close your eyes and say, “mmm” out loud.

Deep garnet-purple, the 2016 Estate ‘Alluvial Selection’ Cabernet Sauvignon comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, charcoal and menthol scents with touches of garrigue, smoked meats and roasted nuts.

The 2016 Heritage Selection is expressive and full-bodied, with baked black cherry and concentrated blackberry fruit across the palate with spicy notes of clove and cardamom.

Panek Vineyard’s early ripening nature was a blessing in 2017. All 5 blocks we work with achieved full ripeness giving us quite a bit to choose from in this vintage. That coupled with continually improving farming gave us more quantity than we hoped for pre-harvest.

Giuseppe Quintarelli Secco Ca' del Merlo 2017 is a remarkable red wine from the Veneto region in Italy. This wine is a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Nebbiolo. The 2017 vintage is known for its complexity, with layers of dark fruit, spice, and subtle floral notes.

This is the 2018 ‘Generation VIII’ Cabernet Sauvignon from the Herzog winemaking family. Grown in the Oak Knoll District of Napa County, California, this is a well-balanced red with plenty of oak and dark fruit notes.

This Riserva from Sesti is rich, dark and full-bodied. From a beautifully warm and sunny vintage, the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Phenomena displays dark fruit, ripe cherry, tobacco, balsam herb and exotic spice. A mere 3,750 bottles were made. The wine is textured and velvety with fresh acidity and integrated tannins.

A classic Guiraud with a combination of power and elegance. The flavour is deep and sweet, expansive and impressive, with ample fruit matched with opulent, creamy oak.

The nose is fruity, fresh, relatively fine and offers a fine concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, plum and a hint of cassis jam associated with fine touches of chocolate, cardamom, a discreet hint of tea and a very fine / discreet hint of balsamic.

In the glass, this wine appears inky-black with a velvety core. On the nose, however, you are treated to the lightness of fresh violets, crushed blueberries, and cocoa.

Rich, textured, racy and complex, the ’08 Rosso del Bepi wafts from the glass with an explosion of berries, cherries, and figs, all complemented by incense, tobacco, cigar wrapper, umami and earth.

Peña Aladas, or “winged stones” refers to a group of small, rocky vineyard plots well over 100 year old in age and surrounded by pine forests.
