A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Petit Sirah. ... Read more

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Petit Sirah. Our primary Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are in the Rutherford appellation. The Sangiovese comes from a high elevation vineyard in Atlas Peak , and our Petit Sirah vineyard is located just north of Calistoga. All fruit and wines are Napa appellation. Unlike wines that typify a certain terroir, our wines are blends in the classic sense. We choose the most expressive barrels of each varietal and utilize the a arta of blending to produce a final wine that is superior to each of its components. The wine is deeply Cabernet colored, complex and layered in blackberry and current fruit. The intriguing Sangiovese varietal adds linear tannins and an indigenous fruitiness. The Petit Sirah adds a firm structural backbone and a fresh, bright acidity to the wine. Overall, Bacio Divino is balanced, precocious in its youth, generous in flavor and aroma, yet retains an elegance not always found in California wines. Minimize

name refers to Latin word for many, and was chosen to signify various facets involved in creating a fine wine: from sun, soil, and climate of a vineyard, to team of people who guide a wine through its evolution. A breathtaking mountainous 7-acre site with steep exposures to north, east and southeast, soil is comprised of volcanic bedrock. Pluribus, which debuted in 2003 vintage, is defined as a bold, rich and concentrated wine; elements of dark plum, roasted coffee, and scents of cedar are inherent throughout vintages.

This stylish, integrated wine is marked by ripe wild cherry and red currant flavors with spicy notes of pepper, grilled nuts, tar and a hint of violets set in structure balancing refined tannins and high toned acidity. The vineyard, overlooking the town of Barolo, stretches north and eastward, and is comprised of five plots: Cannubi (proper), Cannubi Muscatel, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Cannubi Valleta and Cannubi Boschis (also called Monghisolfo) with a collective area of just under 85 acres. While many contend that there is little qualitative difference among the vineyard plots, nor from one extremity of the slope to the other, true purists insist that only wines from Cannubi proper should be entitled to the name as such, and that the four sub-zones should always be differentiated by name, much as Le Chambertin is distinguished from Charmes- or Griottes-Chambertin. Cannubi (proper) lies near the northern end of the hillside extension, below Boschis, on a contiguous plot of 35 acres, exposed principally southeast, at an altitude rising from 750 to 900 feet. The soils are dry, meager and complex, composed primarily of sand and a siliceous white loam soil known locally as ”tov,” with a near absence of clay. Their particularly thorough drainage, which lends the wines an exceptional elegance and deceptive approachability, is in years of severe drought so stressful to the vines that they yield wines of uncharacteristic backwardness. In 1989 Michele Chiarlo was able to purchase 3.7 acres on the central part of the slope in Cannubi proper. Just under one-third of the vineyard at that time supported 20 year-old vines and the rest, due to its extreme, 50-degree slope, had been unplanted for the previous eight years. Michele Chiarlo returned it to production by creating the first terraced cultivation in the Langhe. His first Cannubi, the 1990, was produced solely from the older vines; the young vines will not figure in the blend until the 1993 vintage. Vinification takes place on the skins over a period of approximately two weeks at a temperature of 85 degrees fahrenheit; two years in small oak barrels follow Minimize

Wafting aromas of ripe red currants, black cherries and mildly smoky and sweet vanilla oak. Layers of currant fruit, dense black cherry, and notes of brown spice (cocoa, nutmeg), dark chocolate, and hints of sandalwood. Keeps showing its stuff as it breathes in glass-for folks who want full experience and may be a bit impatient, decanting is a good idea. Perfect balance, great concentration and length, and loaded with fine, ripe tannins for having with food or for aging. This wine should also age beautifully for 10-25 years. Pairs well with a wide range of foods including grilled steak, roasted pork loin, veal, medium-strong cheeses, and most cream sauces. Wine Spectator rating: 90. Minimize

This dense, concentrated wine is marked by layers of intense wild cherry and red fruit flavors offset by a woodsy, penetrating bouquet of earth with distinct notes of new oak set in a focused, steely tannic structure. The grapes are fully destemmed, crushed and fermented in traditional oak tanks over a period of 15 to 21 days, with manual submersion of the cap three times a day; full malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is then transferred to Limousin and TronA ais oak casks, half of which are new, and topped off every 15 days. The cellar maintains a constant temperature of 12 to 13 centigrade (53 to 56 fahrenheit) for the 18- to 24- month period the wine spends in cask. After blending and prior to bottling, the wine rests briefly in glass- lined stainless steel tanks. The chActeau’s philosophy of quality is such that, on average, only 40 percent of the harvest, originating from older vines, is ultimately retained for the wine bearing the ChActeau de Pommard label. This concept is similar to that of the Bordelaise ”grand vin,” which achieves its greatest potential through the separation of wines from young vines into a second wine. Minimize

Champagne Taittinger created Comtes de Champagne RosAC with ... Read more

Champagne Taittinger created Comtes de Champagne RosAC with the 1966 vintage, released in 1972, as the companion cuvACe to Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. The cuvACe is a blend of red and white wines obtained from the first pressing of grapes grown in the villages of the Champagne region most highly-rated for Pinot Noir grapes, and predominantly from the villages of Bouzy and Ambonnay, where Champagne Taittinger`s holdings assure the supply of fruit of the highest quality from year to year. Taittinger`s extensive vineyard properties, totaling 600 acres in several of Champagne`s most highly-rated vineyards, are third in importance among those of the great champagne houses, allowing the firm to rely primarily on its own grapes for the production of its portfolio of cuvACes. Comtes de Champagne RosAC is elaborated and brought to maturity in the l3th century chalk cellars once belonging to the Abbey of St. Nicaise, where each step of the mACthode champenoise is performed traditionally. Following harvest, the grapes are pressed immediately in press houses located among the vineyards, yielding a first pressing, referred to as the "cuvACe," which is followed by two more pressings, referred to as the first and second "tailles." The greater part of the juice, and that of the finest quality, is extracted in the "cuvACe;" neither of the "tailles" are used in Comtes de Champagne RosAC. In all, no more than 100 litres (approximately 26 gallons) of juice per 160 kilograms (approximately 350 pounds) of fruit may be extracted from the combined three pressings. The juice is transported to the vinification facility, and a cool fermentation of the must takes place under temperature controlled conditions, after which the wine rests until the end of the winter. Blending for color occurs after the primary fermentation, and thereafter the final cuvACe undergoes the secondary fermentation in the bottle at 45 to 50 F in Taittinger`s cool cellars, during which the wine acquires complexity and the fine, pinpoint bubbles characteristic of its sparkle. Prior to dACgorgement, Comtes de Champagne RosAC is aged three to four years to fully capture the elegant complexity and full body of the Pinot Noir grape. This sublime rosAC Champagne, produced solely from Pinot Noir grapes in years exceptional enough to declare a vintage, is appropriately presented in an antique-style bottle of XVIIIth century design. Typical of the Taittinger style, Comtes Champagne RosAC is a wine of exquisite refinement; its brilliant salmon pink color is punctuated by fine, lasting pinpoint bubbles. The sweet, red berry fragrance of the variety is offset by very subtle notes of earth and minerals. Clean, vibrant red fruit flavors are confirmed on the generous palate, balanced by a crisp, refined acidity which carries into an elegant, complex finish of considerable persistence. Minimize
