M.A.D. Dashe Reserve Dry Creek Zinfandel 2021
This is a classic Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, showing beautiful notes of chocolate and black raspberry fruit for which the region is famous. Our "Old-World" style winemaking techniques make the wine particularly velvety and complex; it has such balanced fruit and spice that it is delicious on its own or paired with a wide variety of foods. Not only is the texture of the wine extremely soft, rich, and appealing, but it also has a long fruit and spice finish that persists for a long time after you swallow the wine. In 2021, the wine was particularly aromatic and fruity, with beautiful notes of vanilla and french oak integrated into the wine. Layered and balanced, this is a great wine to drink now but will age beautifully.
Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru 'Champ Chevrey' Monopole, Domaine Tollot-Beaut 2019
Champ Chevrey is a Monopole; the Tollot-Beaut family is the only owner which is unusual for Burgundy, and it produces the most structured wines of the two Savigny-Lès-Beaune premier cru appellations. It is situated just below the Les Lavières vineyard and benefits from a firmer minerality supporting its fruit. Their 2019 is finely crafted with a mineral spine; a little time in the glass reveals concentrated and fragrant fruit flavours of cherry, cherry blossom and bramble. This has a very refined, tightly packed style of fruit, with a distinctly lively, lifting quality to it. The medium tannins are finely grained but have an appealing hint of astringency.
