2017 Brittan Vineyards ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir
$32.00Vinous 92 ~ Shimmering red. Spice-accented raspberry, cherry and floral aromas are complemented by hints of cola, succulent herbs and smoky minerals. Sweet and pliant on the palate, the Estate offers nicely concentrated red and dark berry preserve and rose pastille flavors. A spicy nuance builds steadily on the back half. Supple, fruit-driven and accessible, this wine delivers solid finishing thrust, well-knit tannins and strong, floral-tinged persistence. Aged in 15% new oak. -
2020 Day Wines ‘Vin de Days l’Orange’
$26.00Tasting Notes ~ The 2020 Vin de Days L'Orange is that textural and aromatic circus that you're looking for. This blend of 48 percent Riesling, 32 percent Müller-Thurgau, 15 percent Gewürztraminer and 5 percent Pinot gris is a marvelous expression of these aromatic varietals and what can be achieved with a little skin contact (8 days to be exact). The beautiful, floral Gewürz notes of lychee and rose juxtapose in wonderful fashion with the racy, stony minerality of the Riesling, while the Müller adds grapefruit and mango in a subtle tropical lift and Pinot gris gives acidic nuance to the firmly textured palate. With time and air, the fruit profile becomes richer and spicier with notes of candied orange rind and dried apricot. The finish remains vibrant and grippy even through the second day of being open. It's everything you're looking for from an aromatic "orange" wine. -

2018 The Eyrie Vineyards Chasselas Doré
$33.00Tasting Notes ~ Chasselas Doré is an old grape variety born in the Jura and Alps mountain ranges of Switzerland.

The attentive vineyard practices of Eyrie demand focus on rigorous training of the vines, minimal interference with the ecosystem, and on picking at the optimal time.

The Eyrie Chasselas ages 6 month on lees. In spite of full natural malolactic fermentation the wine is crisp. -
