Domaine des Escaravailles Les Coteaux Rasteau 2020
'The estate gets its name from the Occitan word for beetle, “escaravay”. This was the nickname given by the inhabitants of Rasteau to the Black Penitent monks of Avignon, who owned the farm in the 17th century. The land for the Domaine was bought in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran, with a vision to plant it with vines, and it has remained in the Ferran family ever since. This wine comes from a vineyard called “Le Ratanaud” with soils composed of blue clay. These hillsides, located between 330 and 350m of altitude have a south exposition, which brings freshness and perfect maturity to the wine. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted at the vineyard. They are fully destemmed then fermented in concrete tanks, each varietal separately. Vatting time is between 28 to 35 days with daily grape-treading and pumping-over. Ageing is then in concrete tanks for fifteen months. Enjoy with grilled aubergine and feta cheese, aged prime rib, lamb shoulder and garlic cream, Bleu d'Auvergne cheese.'
Wente Beyer Ranch Zinfandel 2022
This Zinfandel is sourced from three estate vineyards i the Livermore valley which are planted on sloping benches to produce luscious wines with a deep rich profile. Each vineyard is hand picked by the master blender and the fruit is picked when ripe to accentuate the deep jammy fruity flavours while keeping the alcohol balanced. Aromas and flavours of raspberries, rich blackberries, some subtle spice and black pepper nuances. The finish is firm with a good tannin structure on the back and has a ripe chewy finish.
