FINE WINE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH MATT BROOKS OF CYNTHIA HURLEY WINES

Cynthia Hurley French Wines began in 1984 when Cynthia and Robert Hurley started importing French Bordeaux into New York and New Jersey. Cynthia and Robert had been living and working in Paris and became enamored with French wine. Many of their weekends were spent driving to the different wine regions of France to find those undiscovered bottles of great wine from small family producers.

When the Hurleys returned stateside, they began to import the wines they loved, but couldn’t find in the U.S. The business expanded to include top producers and everyday drinking wines from Burgundy, Loire, and Rhone.

Cynthia relocated the business to Newton, Massachusetts, when they moved from New York City. They found distribution and began to sell their wines in restaurants and wine shops. Robert Hurley has continued to run the business since Cynthia’s death in 2011. He remains committed to the company’s founding principle of, “developing a portfolio of domains all family-run no negociants, no cooperatives, just dedicated winemakers.”

WINES

Domaine J. Laurens, Crémant de Limoux, La Rose No.7, Sparkling Rosé NV, Limoux, France

Varietals: 60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin Blanc, 15% Pinot Noir, Alc.12%

Domaine J. Laurens is located near the city of Carcassonne in France’s wine region of Limoux. Since the Domaine’s beginning in the 1980s, they have been recognized for the high quality of their sparkling wines. In 2021 the Domaine received an HVC3 (“High Environmental Value” Certification) the highest level, indicating farming practices are conducted sustainably. This area is where Blanquette de Limoux, considered to be the first sparkling white wine in France, was produce in 1531. The Limoux zone of production was the first to create a DOC in the Languedoc with Blanquette and Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale in 1938, both of them made with the traditional white grape variety of Limoux: Mauzac.  A decree published in 1990 added a new appellation, Crémant de Limoux, and following a recent change to the decree, Cremant de Limoux is now produced with Chardonnay and Chenin.  Mauzac and/or Pinot Noir can also be added.  La Rosé No. 7 is fresh and dry with delicate bubbles. The light cherry-pink color and ripe aromas give way to a palate that boasts red fruits and vigorous fullness of flavor. Serve as an aperitif. Pairs well with brie and bread, grilled oysters, green salad with fruit vinaigrette. $24.99

Bodega Nivarius White Rioja, Rioja, Spain

Varietals: 95% White Tempranillo, 5% Malvasía Riojana, Alc. 13.5%

Bodega Nivarius is a unique winery in Rioja because it exclusively produces white wines from native varieties such as White Maturana, Viura, and Garnacha Blanca. The white Maturana, a variety that was practically extinct in the territory, is one of the bodega’s mainstays, along with the old vines of Viura and Garnacha blanca that are scattered throughout the headlands of red vineyards. They also work with white Tempranillo.The winery and vineyards are at elevations of 800 meters, with north-facing vineyards influenced by an Atlantic climate. These conditions create impeccable white wines that express the character and genuine personality of the region’s local white varieties. The estate practices farming with little intervention to respect the biodiversity of the environment, resulting in a genuine expression of the land and the wines. Nivarius is a Latin term for a natural well where the snow was stored all year round. The white Rioja pours a straw-yellow color, with greenish rim. On the nose, hints of apple, pears, and stone fruits are accompanied by a slight aroma of white flowers and a subtle mineral hint. Fresh and balanced on the palate, it has ample texture and a long finish with dried fruit hints. Pairs well with shellfish, grilled fish, and gazpacho. $17.99

Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau, Vouvray,Loire, France

Varietal: Chenin Blanc, Alc. 12.5%

Since 1875, the Vigneau-Chevreau family has farmed the chalky soils of this 69-acre Vouvray domaine, planted entirely to Chenin Blanc. The late Jean-Michel Vigneau began steering the family domaine in an organic direction in the early ’90s, and by 1999 Vigneau-Chevreau received certification from Ecocert. Shortly thereafter, the new generation of Vigneaus took the next step by adopting a biodynamic vineyard regimen. Today the winery is run by Jean-Michel’s two sons, Christophe and Stephane. “Vigneau Selection” is a new designation, indicating that the wine was not made from estate-grown grapes but rather from fruit brought in from sustainably farmed sources. Like all of their wines, this is a fresh and flavorful version of Chenin Blanc, with a wonderful stony minerality and bright acidity. The Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray Selection is a Sec (Dry) wine characterized by a slight residual sugar and pleasant acidity. Notes of flint with apple, quince and citrus. Serve as an aperitif. Pairs well with sushi, salmon, and lobster. $22.99

Domaine Lagneau, Beaujolais Cru Côte de Brouilly, Burgundy, France

Varietals: Gamay%, Alc.15%

Domaine Lagneau is owned by the Lagneau family, Gerard, Jeannine, and their son Didier. They purchased the property in 1978 in the village of Quincie-en-Beaujolais, located on the slopes of Mt. Brouilly. It has its own cellar that dates to the 12th century. Currently, Didier is the winemaker, having taken over the reins from his father. This wine is a Vieilles Vignes, meaning the fruit comes from 75-year-old vines. The Lagneaus make the wine in the traditional Beaujolais method. Didier lets the Gamay grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration (the grapes ferment in their own skins) and then the wine is aged in neutral concrete tanks. This technique gives the Côte de Brouilly its endearing fruity, freshness. Domaine Lagneau Côte de Brouilly is juicy, fruity, and fresh, with aromas of red fruit and plums, combined with floral, peppery and mineral notes. Cru Beaujolais at its finest. Can be served slightly chilled. Pairs well with charcuterie, ham, Andouille sausage. $23.99

Domaine La Font de Notre Dame Rasteau,Rhone, France

Varietal: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, Alc.15%

Domaine La Font de Notre Dame, situated in the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail, is a family estate managed by the Roux family. In 2016 Jean-Pierre Roux handed the reins over to his sons, Frédéric and Boris, who continue to impress with their commitment to showcase the beauty of their terroirs in a bottle. While the Domaine is based in Gigondas, they also have holdings in Lirac and Rasteau. The Domaine has 13 hectares of 80-year-old vines in Rasteau. The sun-soaked plots are planted in clay soils with an abundance of heat-retaining pebbles. This Rasteau has a deep purple color. Concentrated aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, licorice, spices, and a hint of chocolate appear on the nose. An explosive palate offers ripe fruit and spicy, enduring tannins. Pairs well with cured meats, grilled eggplant and mushrooms, leg of lamb. $23.99

WINES

Mormoraia Sauvis, San Gimignano, Italy

Varietal: Vernaccia, Alc.13%

Mormoraia was an ancient convent surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, where only the murmur of prayers filled the air. In 1980 the entrepreneur Pino Passoni and his wife Franca bought it to give substance to their dream of building a vineyard. In 1990, a year after the birth of their son Alessandro, Pino and Franca inaugurated the renovation work on the Mormoraia estate and vineyards. In 1995 the first cellar was built, conserving the original architecture: arches and loggias, stone walls, ceilings with wooden beams, and terracotta floors. The hectares of vineyards and olive groves around the estate are expanded, while modern techniques are adopted for the various stages of winemaking, such as aging in French oak barrels and barriques. In 2012 Alessandro Passoni, at the age of 23, became the manager of Mormoraia. Vernaccia is the typical vine of San Gimignano, and the straw yellow Sauvis is fruity, lively on the nose, with hints of hawthorn and apple. It is balanced, harmonious, and persistent on the palate, with a pleasantly acidic finish. Pairs well with fish, shellfish, white meats and fresh cheeses. $24.99

The estate extends for 826 hectares, of which 102 are vineyards, 300 are woodlands, and the rest is land where sustainable agriculture is practiced. The Riesling pours straw yellow with golden reflections. Its aroma is full and fruity, with a pleasant scent of white peach, quince, and pink grapefruit. On the palate, it is pleasant and dry, with fresh acidity and a pleasant mineral flavor. Pairs well with fish, seafood, lightly spiced cuisine like Thai or Indian. $29.99

Contesa Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Italy

Varietal: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Alc. 14%

Lying along the fertile lands of Collecorvino, the 50 hectares of Contesa vineyards in the Pescara hills are a heritage that the vineyard owners are dedicated to taking care of. The Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Trebbiano espalier vineyards are trained using the spurred cordon system, while the lakeside vineyard in the lower part of the hill, the realm of pecorino grapes, is trained according to the Guyot system with high plant densities per hectare and low yields to guarantee the highest quality. The Montepulciano pours ruby with garnet reflections. On the nose, it has aromas of very ripe red fruit and jam, with hints of toasted cocoa. The taste is round, warm, and tannic. The wine is full-bodied, structured, and mature. Pairs well with roasted and braised meats, game, aged cheeses, and cured meats. $24.99

They do not use nitrogen products, pesticides, or herbicides. They see themselves as guardians of the land and maintain hectares of forest, without crops, to promote biodiversity.

FINE WINE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH DAVE BENDER OF VINEYARD ROAD WINES

Since 2000, Vineyard Road has offered high-quality and high-value wines that reflect their soils of origin. Some of the estates represented have been around for only 5 years. Others have been making wine for more than 500. Vineyard Road specializes in small production and artisanal producers who work in concert with the land to produce wines of distinct and authentic character.

WINES

Elektrisch Riesling 2020, Rheinhessen, Germany

Varietal: Riesling, Alc. 10%

The Rheinhessen region has gone from being derided as the land of Liebfraumilch to being the white-hot, super star of Germany. Florian Fauth, the winemaker of Elektrisch, happens to be the brother-in-law of Klaus Peter Keller, one of the pioneers who helped make the Rheinhessen one of the superstar regions of Germany. It is a delicate art to bring out the right amounts of sweetness and acidity in Riesling, and Fauth is able to do it, while crafting wines that are harmonious and vibrant. Mouthwatering acidity, citrusy aromatics, and flavors of granny smith apples will make you appreciate a wine that is fruity in the right way. This is an impressive wine that shows incredible value. This biodynamic, fruit-forward halbtrocken (off-dry) Riesling Kabinett from the Rheinhessen is juicy and thirst-quenching, showing tart citrus and wet stones, marked by lively acidity. Pairs well with sushi, Asian food, and salty blue cheese, like Stilton. $17.99

Domaine les Capreoles Cossinelle Rose, France

Varietal: Gamay, Alc. 13%

Capreoles is a newer Beaujolais estate that has made a big impression on both sides of the Atlantic.  Cedric and Catherine Lescarreaux took over abandoned vineyards and began to farm them organically and biodynamically. Their daughter Margot loved finding cossinelles (ladybugs) in the vineyards on the eve of their first harvest in 2014. They thought the fresh and colorful childish name seemed perfect to reflect the spirit of their rosé.

Pale pink, fruity and very aromatic, it will seduce with its freshness and mouthfeel. It is light, fresh, and lively, the Gamay grape at its best. Pairs well with cured meats, Caprese salad, soft and tangy cheeses. $19.99

Azienda Agricola Platinetti Guido, Ghemme, Italy

We’re pouring two wines from Azienda Agricola Platinetti Guido, a vineyard started at the beginning of the 20th century by Carlo Platinetti and Gaudenzio Fontana, respectively the great- grandfather and grandfather of the current owners. They cultivated vineyards in the most suitable areas around Ghemme and vinified in the winery inside Castello Ricetto, in the heart of the town. World War II interrupted the agricultural pursuits of these valleys, causing a drastic decline in the number of vineyards in what was one of the regions of Italy with the most grapevines, and famed for the unique quality of the wines it produced. During the first half of the 1970s, Gaudenzio’s son Mario resumed cultivation of his father’s historic plots. With the help of his father-in-law, Guido, who was Carlo’s son, he founded Azienda Agricola Platinetti Guido and began planting new Nebbiolo grapevines on Ronco al Maso, the hill nearest the town. The vineyard is now owned and run by Mario’s three children, Stefano, Maria, and Andrea Fontana. Andrea, who graduated from the Alba School of Oenology, tends the vineyards and manages all the winemaking processes himself, together with his son Pietro.

Platinetti Guido Ghemme 2018

Varietal: Nebbiolo, Alc. 14%

Despite regulations allowing the addition of up to 15% of Vespolina or Bonarda grapes, Platinetti’s Ghemme DOCG is produced using solely this wine region’s most famed grape variety namely, Nebbiolo. Only the best clusters from the vineyard are used. Traditionally, these few select rows are left until last during the harvest in order to let the grapes fully mature on the plant. Aging continues for two years in large oak barrels, and then is rounded off with a year in the bottle before being released. This wine should be opened at least an hour before drinking. Intense garnet colour with excellent transparency. It offers a rich and assorted range of aromas, distinguished by hints of red fruit jam, blueberry and mulberry. This is followed by hints of balsamic, surrounded by delicate ferrous minerals and ferrous nuances. On the palate there are intriguing notes of licorice and tobacco. Pairs well with beef, veal, and game meats. $39.99

Platinetti Guido Colline Novaresi DOC Vespolina

Varietal: Vespolina Alc. 12.5%

The Vespolina grapes are the first to be harvested and are fermented in contact with the skins for a maximum of five days in steel vats. After racking, aging continues in steel vats for a minimum of six months followed by further bottle aging for at least another four months. The intense fruity, youthful and slight minerality of the bouquet gives way to a smooth, fresh mouthfeel, which is enlivened by its light, pleasant acidity. A balance of light flavors is interwoven with a decisive spiciness, which is a characteristic of this grape variety. Pairs well with fresh cheeses, pork sausages with herbs, and grilled chicken. $24.99

Doris Red Table Wine, Sonoma Valley, California

Varietals: Zinfandel, Barbera, Merlot, Alc. 14.5%

Originally from Providence, Dan O’Brien honed his wine knowledge behind the bar and as a sommelier in Boston before being recruited to build the wine cellar for the Michelin-starred Cavallo Point in Marin, California. While living in California, Dan’s passion for wine grew, and he began working harvests at L’Aventure in Paso Robles and Larkmead in Napa, eventually becoming a consultant for new wineries in Napa and Sonoma. Using his knowledge, experience and connections, Dan founded his own label, Gail Wines, in 2013 with the goal of highlighting both classic and off-the-beaten-path varieties across the Sonoma Valley. He works with organically farmed fruit from Bennett Valley, Carneros, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma Valley, and Sonoma Mountain. In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, Dan makes wines from traditional grapes like Chardonnay and Merlot as well as lesser utilized varietals like Chenin Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Franc and Barbera. Doris is Gail Wines’ sister label, a nod to the European table wines Dan’s great-aunt Doris would serve to friends and family while hosting traditional Italian-American feasts in her backyard. A blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, and Merlot from fruit sourced in the Sonoma Valley, it is deep purple in color with incredibly expressive aromas of black cherries, fresh earth, plum, and dried cranberry. The palate is sleek and well-defined with power and depth that is balanced by soft, graceful tannins and lively acidity. The finish is juicy and bursting with ripe fruit flavors. Pairs well with steak, barbecued meats. $23.99

WINES

Noelia Ricci Bro’ Trebbiano,

Varietal: Trebbiano, Alc. 13%

Noelia Ricci is a project started in 2010 within Pandolfa, an estate rich in history and stretching over an area of 140 hectares at the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The estate was acquired by Giuseppe Ricci in 1941, but he did not turn the land to agriculture and vineyards until the 1950s, when he planted Sangiovese, Trebbiano, and Albana grapes. Ricci’s daughter took over upon her father’s death in 1980 and started planting new vineyards and building a winery. In 2010, Marco Cirese, one of Noelia’s great-grandchildren, began the Noelia Ricci project, a tribute to the classic winemaking style, with a contemporary approach.By avoiding over-extraction, excessive alcohol content and highly concentrated colors, he strives to make wines having a fine structure, strong personality and complexity, while maintaining an inviting approach and pursuing drinkability. The Bro’ Trebbiano is straw yellow with golden reflections. Delicate fruit scents, lemon zest, florals, and citrus aromas lead to a palate that is fresh and has flavor consistent with the bouquet. It is round and balanced, with a citrus and mineral backbone, and notes of bitter fruit on the finish. Pairs well with risottos, white meats. $19.99

Illahe Viognier, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Varietal: Viognier, Alc.12%

Illahe, pronounced Ill-Uh-Hee, is a local Chinook word meaning “earth” or “place” or “soil.”At Illahe, owners Lowell and Pauline Ford strive to make wine as naturally as possible from soil to bottle. They work by hand on small lots with age-old techniques and materials. The focus is to grow and make quality Pinot Noir and white wines that express the vintage and their varietal characteristics without enzymes or additives. Some of the wines are made entirely by hand, with no electricity or modern mechanization; they use a gentle wooden basket press. They are committed to dry agriculture and responsible water practices and do not irrigate mature plants. As one of Oregon’s few horse-powered vineyards, they use a team of Percheron draft horses to mow and deliver grapes to the winery at harvest. The Illahe Viognier has aromas of white peach, nectarine, dragon fruit, pineapple, jasmine, and sweet pea. The palate is clean with vibrant acidity, and it has a refreshing finish. Pairs well with salmon, roast chicken, spicy food. $ 27.99

Rubentis, the region’s first pink wine, was inspired by the historic claret style wines which were once produced in the area. The backbone of the blend comes from an old hondarrabibeltza vineyard planted in 1840, preserved by the Ameztoi family for generations. The Ameztoi Rubentis pours pale pink with fine, elegant bubbles, the result of natural fermentation. Aromas of citrus and menthol are followed on the palate by notes of strawberry and caramel.

As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. At Illahe, in addition to using using draft horses to plow and to transport the grapes, they use solar power and the winery buildings are gravity-flow, featuring three levels, and using the natural slope of the site, starting from the crush pad to the fermenters and the press below. A further drop-off from the fermentation room to the press level means the press baskets can be loaded by hand. The care that is taken with the land and the grapes shows in the wine.

WINES

Long Meadow Ranch Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc, Napa California

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Alc. 13%

In the late 1800’s, the Long Meadow Ranch property thrived with vineyards, apple orchards, olive groves, hay, and a goat milk dairy, but farming fell dormant during Prohibition. The property was swallowed by the encroaching forest until the Hall family bought the property in 1989. The family cut back the abandoned olive trees and replanted the vineyards and apple orchards and instituted an organic, sustainable, integrated farming system. They make their own fertilizers on the ranch through an extensive composting operation that relies on organic material from each segment of the ranch and they use solar energy for power. The Rutherford Estate has 74 acres planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The estate is also home to fruits and vegetables, beehives, and growing flock of egg-laying chickens. Long Meadow’s Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc has rich aromas of pink grapefruit, lemon verbena, and lychee on the nose that carry through to lime zest, lemon curd, and guava on the palate. Crisp, clean, elegant, and mouthwatering.

Pairs well with oysters, fresh crab, basil pesto, goat cheese with honey. $27.99

La Spinetta Toscana Vermentino, Tuscany, Italy

Varietals: Vermentino, Alc.13%

La Spinetta was founded in the Piedmont region in the early 1960s by Giuseppe and Lidia Rivetti. After 40 years of working with indigenous grape varieties in Piedmont, making Moscato, Barbera, Barbaresco, Barber d’Alba, and Barolo, the family acquired land in Tuscany. They brought the same respect for indigenous varietals to their Tuscan vineyard, producing Sangiovese, Chianti, and Vermentino. The La Spinetta Vermentino Toscana pours a yellow straw color with green hues.

There are hints of citrus, almond, and wildflowers on the nose.

It is fresh and firm on the palate, with hints of thyme and marjoram. The finish is long and mineral.

Pairs well with appetizers, fish, seafood pasta. $19.99

Averaen 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir AVA, Oregon

Varietal: Pinot Noir, Alc. 13.6%

The seeds of Averaen winery were sown at the International Pinot Noir Celebration in 2013 in the Willamette Valley. The winemakers from Banshee Wines in Sonoma were struck by the similarities between the cold, foggy Sonoma coast and the Willamette Valley, and realized making high-quality Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley would be far less expensive than in Sonoma. The first Averaen Pinot Noir was released in 2015 to high praise, and they have continued to produce fine Pinot Noir ever since. The 2019 Averaen Pinot Noir is juicy, with flavors of dark cherry, cranberry, and blackberry. Black tea, anise, blood orange, and vanilla accents add complexity. The texture is ripe and plush with a line of acid running through.

Pairs well with seared salmon or tuna, mushroom dishes, pulled pork, and barbecue. $22.99

Edmeades 2019 Mendocino County Zinfandel, Varietal: Zinfandel, Alc.15%

In 1963, Dr. Donald Edmeades, a Pasadena cardiologist, planted grapes in the tiny hamlet of Philo, in the Anderson Valley, making him the first modern-day grower to do so in that remote stretch of western Mendocino County. His son, Deron, began Edmeades Winery in 1972. It quickly gained a reputation for lusty, mountain Zinfandels that won gold medals and high scores from critics. In fact, Edmeades helped launch the fame of these intense, hillside Mendocino Zins. The 2019 Mendocino County Zinfandel begins with concentrated aromas of baking spices including cinnamon and cloves, which give way to aromas of blackberries, black currants, and dried sage. The texture is round, and the fruit expression is focused and lush. Subtle and integrated tannins accentuate the richness of the wine, while pleasant acidity keeps it fresh on the finish.

Pairs well with barbecued chicken, eggplant Parmesan, winter stew, char-broiled burgers. $19.99

Van Zellers Vinho Tinto, Douro, Portugal, Varietal: 30 indigenous grape varieties, planted in different field blends in vineyards in several areas of the Cima Corgo, in the Douro region, Alc. 14%

The Van Zeller family has been involved in the Portuguese wine trade since 1780 when they established one of the country’s most successful Port shipping companies. Fruit for this bottling is sourced from selected vineyards in the Douro Valley and the grapes are then trodden by foot in traditional lagares or stone troughs. Following vinification the young wine is then aged in oak casks for 6 months to add complexity and polish. The result is a smooth, rich style of red with ample dark berry, plum and cherry notes along with hints of winter spice, tobacco leaf and licorice from the oak ageing.

Firm tannins and a long finish make this a great match for charcuterie, roasted red meats and tomato-based pasta dishes. $29.99

Chateau l’Escarelle, Provence, France

This week, we pour two Rosés from Chateau l’Escarelle Estate, 100 hectares of vines that grow in the midst of 1,000 hectares of stunning, protected countryside in the heart of Provence, a wild landscape with garrigues and oak trees mixed with typical Provencal plants. Yann Pineau, a captain of French industry, has devoted himself to his role of owner and wine producer at Chateau l’Escarelle. Founder of the Itancia Endowment Fund for the protection of nature (fondsdedotationitancia.com), Pineau undertook to develop the estate while at the same time ensuring that its exceptional natural environment was preserved. Pineau is deeply committed to preserving and bringing out the best in this natural environment and has undertaken various projects, such as the restoration of existing buildings for wine and nature tourism, and also an organic certification of the entire estate. The PACA LPO (French league for birds protection) was invited to carry out an initial survey of biodiversity on the estate in 2014. The resulting inventories demonstrated a strong biodiversity, with the presence of no less than 95 species of butterfly. Thanks to the support of the ITANCIA Endowment Fund, Château de l’Escarelle became a pilot site dedicated to the study and preservation of butterflies. Chateau de l’Escarelle is in the process of converting to organic viticulture and boasts a prestigious HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification for its strict eco-friendly and sustainable practices.

This blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah showcases enticing aromas of raspberry, red flowers, and peaches, leading into gorgeously concentrated flavors of strawberry and watermelon that envelop the palate. It has a light body with mouthwatering acidity, beautiful minerality, and a very long finish.

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Roche Granitique 2018, Alsace

Varietal: RieslingAlc.12.5%

Since 1620, the Humbrecht family has cultivated their vines in Alsace. Today Domaine Zind Humbrecht comprises 42 hectares of vines, spread over an array of different terroirs in the geological patchwork that is the Alsatian wine region. The domaine follows biodynamic practices in making their wines. The Riesling Roche Granitique was produced from the youngest vines on the domaine (36 years old). It is bright yellow in color. The nose is open and engaging, and as the wine breathes, it develops aromas of fruit and aromatic herbs. The palate shows weight and length, with a dry harmonious finish. Some acidity and tannins are present, but they are balanced by the fullness of the wine.

Pairs well with ham, turkey, soft cheeses, spicy foods, especially Asian. $ 49.99

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Rosenberg Pinot Blanc, Alsace

Varietal: Pinot BlancAlc.13.5%

Situated in the village of Wettolsheim, at the foot of the hills beneath the Vosges mountains, Domaine Barmes-Buecher’s 17 hectares of vines lie south of Colmar and Turckheim and produce an average of 100,000 bottles and around twenty different cuvées every year. The Domaine grows a number of Alsatian grape varieties and its production is split over seven different terroirs, three of which are classified as Grand Cru.

The Pinot Blanc is a golden color, and the nose has aromas of minerals and flint along with some peach. Pineapple and orange, lemon, pepper, and clove are present on the palate. The fruit is luscious and weighty, but the wine also has good acidity and a clean mouthfeel. Delicious on its own and well up to a curry.

Pairs well with grilled salmon, tuna tartare, shellfish, mild & soft cheese, cured meats, spicy cuisine. $ 32.99

Kientzler Gewürztraminer, Alsace, Varietals: Gewürztraminer Alc.13.5%

The Kientzler family has been growing vines for more than five generations in Ribeauvillé and the surrounding area. As early as 1866, Dominique Alphonse Kientzler had inherited vines from his father and grandfather and in 1895 was involved in the creation of France’s first winemaking cooperative in Ribeauvillé. His son Alphonse, while also tending to the vines, eventually became the Mayor of Ribeauvillé. It was Alphonse’s son François though, who was the first to fully concentrate on wine production, taking himself off to Switzerland to study viticulture. By the 1970s, he was joined by his son, André, in the wine business and the pair undertook a massive replanting program to replace much of the old Chasselas with the noble Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer varieties. Today, the Kientzlers farm almost 14 hectares of vines in Ribeauvillé, Bergheim, Hunawihr, and Riquewihr, including significant parcels in the Grand Crus of Geisberg, Osterberg, and Kirchberg. They are working toward making the winery completely organic. This Gewürztraminer is fresh and delicately perfumed with restraint and lovely fine acidity buffering its richness. Intense and exotic aromas of lychee, tropical fruit, and pepper on the nose are followed by a delicate fruity sweetness in the mouth. The spicy profile and fine acidity make for a long, elegant finish.

Pairs well with coconut curry, mango salad, asparagus, or lamb with dried-fruit cous-cous, as well as Thai food and sheep’s milk cheeses. $24.99

Muses Estate Crispy Assyrtiko, Viotia, Greece

Varietal: Assyrtiko Alc.13%

Northwest of Athens, in the region of Viotia, lies the Valley of the Muses, formed on the slopes of Mount Helicon by the short course of the river Permissos on its way to the sea. In ancient times, the idyllic scenery of the valley was the home of the 9 Muses, daughters of Zeus; it was also the home of Hesiod, one of the greatest poets of ancient Greece, who was born and wrote his works in ancient Askra (modern Askri), a city “rich in grapes.” This is the place where the vineyards of the Muses Estate lie. In 1946, his deep love for wine and the millennia-old winemaking tradition of his homeland led Nikolaos Zaharias to found a small winemaking facility. In 2005, Nikolaos’s grandsons– Nikos, Stelios and Panayiotis– took their place in the family business and created Muses Estate. The Crispy Assyrtiko is a fresh, vibrant wine with firm and crisp acidity seamlessly blending notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of thyme, with a long mineral finish.

Pairs well with fish, seafood, salad. $ 19.99

Chateau de Sancerre, Sancerre, Loire, France

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Alc.12.5%

The Château de Sancerre is one of the few French castles to bear the name of an appellation. Located on the left bank of the Loire, overlooking a unique terroir of four different soils, it has 55 hectares of vineyard, planted with vines of average age of 25 years. The rolling hills and semi-continental climate of the region produce Sauvignon Blanc with a beautiful, lively and fresh structure. The wines of Château de Sancerre are vinified and aged until bottling directly at the Château. The vineyard is located in several communes of the Appellation area: Sancerre, Bué, Crézancy, Thauvenay and Ménétreol. The three characteristic terroirs of the Sancerre appellation are therefore represented: Terres Blanches, Silex and Caillottes. The 2018 vintage is marked by a good balance and a lot of accuracy. With a combination of fruitiness (ripe gooseberries and tropical fruit) on the nose and a good balance between fruitiness and minerality on the palate, this wine has all the vibrant characteristics of a Sancerre.

Pairs well with seafood, grilled chicken, goat cheese. $ 39.99

Cherry Hill Estate Pinot Noir, Eola Hills, Oregon

Varietal: Pinot Noir Alc. 14%

The land that makes up Cherry Hill Estate has always been known as Cherry Hill in local lore. Wild cherries have always grown here, and much of Cherry Hills’ land was planted in sweet Royal Anne cherries in the 1960s.Even earlier, the hill was planted with prune trees, which produced succulent fruit. The entire Willamette Valley is known for wonderful soil and a long, moderate growing season that is just right for agriculture of all kinds. Cherry Hill Winery lies directly atop the 45th parallel, at the same Pinot-friendly latitude as Burgundy. It is a 150-acre estate, with 90 of those acres planted to Pommard and Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir has supple, vivid raspberry fruit on full display. It is juicy and bright and well balanced throughout.

Pairs well with fish, beef, wild game, pastas.$32.99

Vinicola del PrioratOnix Classic, Priorat, Spain

Varietals: 50% Carinena, 50% Garnacha Alc.14%

The region of Priorat has risen to prominence in the last 25 years, going from being relatively unknown to now producing some of the most highly valued wines in the world. There is a long history of wine production in the Priorat; Carthusian monks from Provence first planted vines in the 12th century. The region of Priorat is named after the priory they built in the hills there. A harsh, continental climate with long, hot summers and very little rain means that vines are virtually the only crops able to survive in the ruggedly mountainous Priorat. The vines are planted on steep hillsides, making mechanized farming virtually impossible – the work in the vineyards is mostly done by hand. The region is known for its unique soil, known as llicorella. Remarkably infertile, it is a dark brown mix of broken slate and quartz that sparkles in the sun. Combined, these factors lead to low yields of incredibly concentrated grapes. The head winemaker at Vinicola del Priorat, Sandra Estevez, is part of a growing movement of female winemakers in Spain. She has made a name for herself by producing elegant, carefully balanced wines that frequently garner high praise. Onix pours a dark ruby color. On the nose, it has aromas of plum with hints of earth and meat. It is soft and lush on the palate with round, firm tannins, and a good finish.

Pairs well with roasted vegetables, sausages, game. $ 24.99

Blue Rock Vineyards Baby Blue, Alexander Valley, California

Varietals:44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 10% Syrah, 9% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc Alc.14.5%

Dating back to 1880, the 100-acre Blue Rock estate tells the story of how European winemaking came to Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. Italian immigrants brought with them olive trees, vine cuttings, and knowledge of grape growing. The region’s undulating golden hills and idyllic vistas are even reminiscent of Tuscany itself. Blue Rock Winery was first settled by Italians who worked at the Italian-Swiss Colony winery just down the road. Acquired by Kenny and Cheryl Kahn in 1987, the estate maintains much of its old-world character, and its original olive trees that are now over 140 years old. Over the years, Blue Rock has been moving toward a low-input cultivation policy that is reliant upon compost and natural amendments rather than chemical fertilizers. Baby Blue is a blend of the five Bordeaux varietals plus Syrah. Blackberry, blueberry, black currant, and anise are present on the nose and the palate, and the wine has a full, velvety mouthfeel.

Pairs well with grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, meaty pasta. $36.99

 WINES

Octopoda 2021 Sonoma County Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, California

Varietal: Chardonnay Alc.14.5%

Precision Wine Co. presents a distinguished and diverse collection of wines. Each wine is made with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality; from harvesting the grapes in the vineyards to designing original packaging, every step of the winemaking process is handled with precision. The wines are made to showcase the complexity of flavor, diversity of terroir, and distinct characteristics of California’s appellations and wine regions. Proprietor and vintner Trevor Sheehan started his journey to create a top wine collection when he became a winemaker 10 years ago. His first wines were eight barrels of Chardonnay from the Beckstoffer Vineyard and Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. Octopoda Chardonnay offers notes of white flowers, grapefruit, baked apples, buttered popcorn and a beautiful, toasted oak finish.

Pairs well with creamy cow and sheep-milk cheese, pan-seared salmon, and roast chicken. $19 .99

Duck Pond Pinot Gris, Dundee, Oregon, Varietal: Pinot Gris Alc. 13%

Established in Dundee, Oregon, in 1993 in Willamette Valley and Dundee Hills AVAs, Duck Pond makes wines that are organically farmed, and hand harvested. Winemaker Julia Cattrall’s mission is to preserve and uphold the natural beauty and legacy of Oregon’s wines, and to craft delicious wines free of harmful chemicals. Duck Pond is the first commercially farmed vineyards in Oregon to have received the Clean Label Project Purity Award. Duck Pond uses sustainable and organic farming practices, rigorous testing protocols, ingredient labeling, and third-party testing and certification. Bright aromas of pear, lemon and peach jump from the glass of Pinot Gris along with hints of herbs, delicate flowers and minerals. The fresh fruit flavors of crisp citrus and pear are balanced with a light texture. The fruity finish is rounded out with a mineral-focused complexity.

Pairs well with fresh vegetables, sushi, and shellfish. $16.99

Fontezoppa Asola 2017, Marche, Italy

Varietal: Maceratino Alc. 14%

Cantine Fontezoppa is a young company in central Italy on the Adriatic coast in the province of Macerata between Civitanova, Marche and very close to Civitanova Alta, an ancient 14th century village. The company, which takes its name from the ancient source of water that gushed out where the rows of vineyards now grow, was born thanks to the acquisition of the land in Civitanova Alta by the Luzi family in the late 1990s. Made from hand-picked Maceratino (or Ribona) grapes, this wine has an intense straw yellow color and a strong and complex nose, with aromas of ripe fruit, citrus peel, peach, yellow flowers, united by a deep mineral note and a touch of vanilla. It is balanced and consistent on the palate, with a pleasantly long and fresh finish.

Pairs well with anchovies and other fish, white meat, truffles. $31.99

Firriato Le Sabbie Dell’Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy, Varietal: Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese Alc. 13.8%

Made from grapes grown on the north side of Mount Etna, the only active volcano in Europe, this rosso is perfect for the friend who insists on drinking red wine even though your menu really calls for white. The wine’s minerality, ripeness, and elegance, with hints of black currants, licorice, pepper, and wilted violet, it’s sure to please your contrary friend.

Pairs well with seafood and lobster. Serve it to the red wine lovers when everyone else is drinking white with their lobster! $25.99

Spineto Morellino di Scansano 2019, Tuscany, Italy Varietal: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Alc. 13.5%

Erik Banti has been producing wines in the Maremma Toscana region in the south-west of Tuscany for decades. In 1981 he produced his first vintage of Morellino. At the time, Morellino was a new and relatively unknown DOC. Today, the area is well known for producing full-flavored wine. The Spineto Morellino pours clear, bright, ruby red. The nose is lightly fruity, with hints of black cherries and violets. On the palate it is dry, tangy, and lightly tannic with good balance, body and lingering aromas, and a long finish.

Pairs well with fish baked or grilled, light pasta dishes, white and red meats and soft cheeses, such as Robiola, and fresh pecorino. $19.99

Chateau Gigognan 2016 Clos du Roi Chateauneuf du Pape, Rhone, France, Varietals: 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre Alc. 15%

In the heart of the Rhône Valley, close to the famous papal city of Avignon, Château Gigognan encompasses 110 hectares of vines in a landscape of rolling hills, parasol pines, and olive trees. Born of a winegrowing tradition dating back to Roman times, Château Gigognan is a long-established wine estate and part of the historical heritage of Provence. It produces red, white and rosé wines in the appellations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Signargues, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, and Côtes-du-Rhône. Vivid ruby, this Chateauneuf-du-Pape has aromas of highly perfumed red fruit complicated by suggestions of garrigue, licorice, and white pepper. Spicy and focused on the palate, it displays vibrant raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors, along with a building smoky nuance. It finishes with resonating spiciness, a suggestion of Chambord, and youthfully chewy tannins.

Pairs well with barbecued beef ribs, duck, mushroom dishes, lamb chops. $49.99

And don’t forget to check out what’s new in our beer case. We just got in a new shipment of Maine Beer, with the IPA’s “Lunch” and “Little Whale Boat” leading the charge.  We have a rich brown ale called “Brown Dog” and the wonderfully dark but slightly hoppy Robust Porter, both from Smuttynose.
