Vineyards makes a stunning Sangiovese; Napa producers Moffett and Hendry make superb Bordeaux blends. These transplanted varieties deserve to be appreciated for their innovation and loved for their quality!
People often debate the question of“ nature versus nurture.” I would argue that it isn’ t one or the other that prevail, but rather a case of nature being tended by nurture that creates the best things in life. Just ask my mom. �
Outside the box, inside your cellar
Coriole 2010 Sangiovese McLaren Vale, Australia $ 22.99
A medium-bodied wine showing red fruit, dark cherry, earth and mineral notes. With a little time to breathe, plum and raspberry come shining through.
Bokisch 2009 Tempranillo Lodi, USA $ 26.99 Black currant and raspberry flavours come together with a hint of clove and spice. A perfect blend of varietal character and bold California winemaking.
Bokisch 2011 Garnacha Blanca Lodi, USA $ 19.99 A full-bodied creamy white with luscious notes of honeydew, kiwi, and apricots. If I were stranded on an island and could take only one wine, this would be it.
Moffett 2008 Screenplay Napa Valley, USA $ 66.99 This big bold blend explodes with notes of dark juicy blackberry, sweet cherries and currents, all layered together with a pop of creamy oak and mocha.
Saralyn and Max
Tablas Creek 2009 Esprit De Beaucastel Red Paso Robles, USA $ 72.99 Bold, lush fruit with brambly spice and velvety tannins are the hallmark of this blend. Approachable now in spite of its youth, this wine will be cellar-worthy for a long time to come.
