Barbaresco CN Centoundici, Orlando Abrigo 2018
The Orlando Abrigo Barbaresco CN Centoundici 2018 is the kind of wine that quietly commands attention—elegant, precise, and full of personality. It’s a polished expression of Nebbiolo that captures everything we love about Barbaresco: that fine-boned structure, haunting aromatics, and a graceful depth that unfolds beautifully in the glass. This cuvée is the work of the Abrigo family—modest in scale but rich in tradition and detail. The name “Centoundici” (Italian for one hundred and eleven) tips the hat to the vineyard parcel number, but there’s nothing bureaucratic about what’s in the bottle. This is Nebbiolo at its most charming—lifted and floral, with notes of wild cherry, rose petal, sweet spice, and a whisper of earth. There’s enough structure to cellar for a few more years, but it’s drinking beautifully now, especially with the right plate—think truffle risotto, slow-roasted lamb, or a wedge of aged cheese. For Club Members who appreciate Nebbiolo with finesse and clarity—this one’s a bit of a gem. It’s Barbaresco with both roots and polish.
Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2020
Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a sophisticated and deeply expressive Pinot Noir from one of California's most celebrated and pioneering estates, crafted from carefully selected parcels along the Sonoma Coast. Combining multiple clones and vineyard sites, this is a wine of remarkable complexity, elegance and coastal freshness. Why You'll Love It Merry Edwards has been producing world-class Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast since 1977, building a reputation as one of California's most gifted and influential winemakers. Her expertise in clonal research led to the development of the Merry Edwards Selection (UCD37), now a benchmark clone for quality California Pinot Noir. Certified Sustainable since 2017 and vegan-friendly, this is a winery that combines passion, precision and a deep respect for the land. The Sonoma Coast bottling showcases the full breadth of the estate's vineyard resources in a single, beautifully crafted wine. Vineyard & Production Made from 100% destemmed grapes sourced from multiple parcels along the Sonoma Coast, blending UCD37, 667, 777, 115, Swan and Martini Pommard clones to create a wine of balance and finesse. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, 44% new, sourced from Doreau, D&J and F. Freres coopers. The wine is carefully blended to express the diverse characteristics of the Sonoma Coast vineyards. Tasting Notes A complex and exotic nose of cardamom, tamarind, allspice and cinnamon, layered with candied red cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries, boysenberries and blackberries. Additional notes of cocoa nibs, cola, white chocolate, candied violets, creme brulee, caramel and a hint of blood orange add aromatic depth. The palate is lush and succulent, with round tannins, bright acidity, finely integrated oak and a long, spicy black pepper finish. Perfect Pairings Perfect as an aperitif or alongside early courses, roasted poultry, rich fish dishes and a banquet of charcuterie and seasonal vegetables.
