This classic Bordeaux-style blend—made with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot—is a stunner now, and it shows the potential to age for another 5–10 years. Black cherry, cassis and…

A clean aspect shines through this wine that offers all the freshness of green and yellow citrus along with a herbal glint, perhaps of citrus foliage. This is concentrated and comes with disarming pu…

Riesling has an ability to unite opposites: ripeness and tartness of fruit, a slender frame and unexpected weight. This dry and harmonious wine shows off these contradictions perfectly. A spiky fresh…

Generous notes of ripe, juicy pear lead on nose and palate of this wine. An earthy, slightly bitter edge lends definition and texture but undereath it all lies the purity of fresh-cut Conference pear…

Pure notes of Conference pear define both nose and palate. The body is textured and concentrated but remains slender. Fresh acidity, dryness and slightly bitter pitch make for a beautiful, poised out…

Forward and nicely rounded off, this brings spicy cherry and cranberry fruit front and center. There are well-integrated streaks of herb, a dash of stem, and a dusting of white pepper. Give it an hou…

From the home vineyards of the Saget family, this a warm and generous wine. While endowed with many green Sauvignon Blanc characteristics, the tropical fruit style makes it feel rich. As it ages, it…

A structured wine with tannins from wood aging, as well as rich blackberry fruit. The wine has fruit and structural intensity, layering spice and juiciness atop a dry core. Keep for 3–5 years.

So elegant, a wine with just a fine balance. It has creamy apple fruit flavors, hedgerow fruits, with a line of crisp acidity to cut through the fruitiness and give a more mineral edge. It will be wo…

Dette er en vin som kommer fra en parsell på 15 mål, dyrket på rosa granittstein. Vinstokker som er 67 år gamle har gitt denne faste vinen sin konsentrasjon og tetthet. Rikelig, full av svarte frukte…

Dette handler mer om eleganse enn kraft, en frisk vin med søt frukt, og så elegant. Tanninene lover god lagring, men dette er ikke en langtidsholdbar vin. Hold den i 8–10 år, men den er allerede en g…

Fra sand- og granittjord har denne fast strukturerte vinen mørke tanniner samt de mer kjente røde-kirsebærsmakene fra Beaujolais. Etter hvert som den modnes, vil den bli rik og fruktig, saftig med go…
