Why Michael F. loves this wine: Purple-black in the glass, the oak sings with notes of ripe black plum and cassis, all carried along with a velvety fine-grained tannin. Delish!

Madeline Triffon, M.S. - "Stunning quality alert! This is a “PG” way beyond any commercial expression, ideal for all holiday celebrations. The texture is satiny-smooth, and yet refreshing. There’s richness to the flavor that combines ripe pears and peaches laced with Meyer lemon, no sweetness, just deep flavor . The wine manages to be fresh and full, savory and creamy-dry in the same sip. A sure crowd pleaser, bridging the gap between novice wine drinkers and sophisticates. Made by the ramato process, fermenting the juice on Pinot Grigio’s light red skins, resulting in a very pale coppery color."

Madeline Triffon, M.S.: "A bright French Sauvignon Blanc, essence of the varietal. Pungent grapefruit, parsley, green apple, and a salty breeze on the nose. Sleek, citrusy palate with herbal flavors. Refreshing with lemon-lime acidity and a rocky soil impression."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: Rich earthiness and a juicy red fruit acidity are framed by a rustic tannic. The varietal Touriga Nacional is so aromatically complex I could sit my nose in the glass for hours. 

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. Loves this Wine: Elegance alert!  Medium bodied, richly flavored with classic forest floor and cedar scents.  Lots of smooth tannins just asking for a simple steak with pommes frites (French fries!).  Hard to believe this quality for the price point… A large, gorgeous property that’s a stone’s throw from the A+ estates of Beychevelle, Gruaud Larose and Branaire-Ducru.  The owners have lobbied more than once to have their appellation changed to St-Julien.
