"Bright ruby-red color. Good aromatic intensity with a high concentration of red fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry). The palate is rich, round, concentrated, with silky tannins and powerful notes of blackberry, cassis, raspberry, and blueberry, extending to a long finish." —winemaker

Landmark Overlook Chardonnay 2019 Size: 750ml

"Attractive lemon color with aromas of ripe lemon, white peach, yellow apple, kiwi, oak, chamomile, flan and baking spice. The palate is full and rich with ripe lemon, golden delicious apple, stone fruit and subtle grilled pineapple notes on entry with toasty oak, vanilla, butterscotch, lemon curd and chamomile joining on the mid-palate. The finish is fresh, moderately long with generous ripe lemon and stone fruit notes framed nicely by French oak." —winemaker

Celler del Roure Safra 2020 Size: 750ml

44455
"Spanish for saffron, Safrà is a wine that shows the growing confidence of Pablo Calatayud in the ancient stone lagars and subterranean clay amphorae present at Celler del Roure. Safrà is a blend of Mandó, the principal indigenous grape of this part of Valencia, with a small amount of Garnacha Tintorera. Harvested by hand and partially destemmed, this cuvée is fermented by natural yeasts in stone lagars and stainless steel tanks then aged for 6 months in amphorae. This is about as pure and naked an example of Valencian wine as once can find, showing a brightness of fruit and a forthright and alluringly authenticity." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-Made up of 70% Mando and 30% Arcos this combination works quite well together. Made in old world winemaking style this wine is both expressive and bright having juicy mouthfeel  and a floral and fresh nose. An incredible value for all the effort that went into the winemaking. A must try. Cheers!

Domaine Lafage Cotes du Roussillon Lieu Dit Narassa 2019 Size: 750ml

42822
"La Narassa is sourced from the famed black schist soils of the Agly valley in the northern Roussillon near the village of Maury. It is made in a semi-ripasso by harvesting the Grenache in successive passes picking only the ripest clusters. Once at the cellars the fruit is destemmed and only the best berries are chosen for fermentation after a short pre-fermentation maceration." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-  A wonderful example of a master winemaker getting the most out of a simple blend. Grown in Agly Valley (mostly known for desert wines previously) this is made up mostly of Grenache (only the ripest clusters used) rounded out by Syrah to counter balance the "jammy" quality brought on by the Grenache. The combination brings out wonderful balance and an elongated, welcoming finish. Enjoy with your favorite grilled meats. Cheers!
