Description
The Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet spends 16 months in a mixture of French and Eastern European oak, 26% of which was new. The wine is a wonderful dark garnet in the glass. The enticing nose has plenty of aromatic intensity making it irresistible, with fresh berries and dried cherries combining with bergamot, lavender, mint and sage in perfect harmony.
The palate is fresh and dynamic, with cranberry, cola, and raspberry jam. The acidity is laser focused, the spine pulling the layers of flavour into harmony with the wine’s supple, yet dense, structure. The tannins are supportive and elevate rather than overwhelm the balance of texture, ripeness, and vineyard character.
91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
