Château Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 5L
Wine description:
1997| Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France
Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse is known for their stunning, 1990 vintage which is sought after by collectors all over the world. In fact 1990 Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse has earned legendary status among wine collectors due to its 100 Pt score from Robert Parker. Robert Parker called it one of his desert island wines. The small, 6.75 hectare vineyard of Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse is planted to 80% Merlot, 19.5% Cabernet Franc and .5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This shows a moderate increase in the amount of Cabernet Franc and a reduction in the Cabernet Sauvignon. The goal here is to continue increasing the amount of Cabernet Franc. The vineyard is quite well placed in a single parcel on top of the Saint Emilion plateau.

Chateau Quinault L’Encios
Wine description:
2017| St. Emilion Grand Cru, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Quinault l’Enclos comes from a very gravelly soil with great drainage, but there’s not a lot of water during dry periods. Adeptly produced by the team of Cheval Blanc (who purchased the estate in 2008), the wine nonetheless maintained its poise under the dry and warm ripening conditions of 2017, coming in at a respectable pH of 3.67 and relatively moderate alcohol of 14.1%. The 2017 Quinault l’Enclos has a deep garnet-purple color and beautifully expressed notes of baked black cherries, ripe black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of violets, dark chocolate, star anise and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate has a gorgeous velvety texture and oodles of freshness supporting the perfumed black fruits, finishing long and fragrant. This vintage is a blend of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak and the rest in one-year-old 500-liter barrels and foudres.
Coelho Winery White Pinot Noir
Wine description:
2019 | Eola – Amity Hills, Williamette Valley, OR
The color of rose gold, this unique white wine made from red grapes is redolent of stone fruits: peach, nectarine and yellow plums. The rich attack tastes of ripe white peaches and nectarines, expanding mid-palate into a symphony of warm fruit flavors. A touch of residual sugar balances the acidity. This is essentially a brut rose wine without the bubbles.

2020 | Santa Ynez, Central Coast, CA
Contemporary Grenache Blanc expressions lean tight and bright yet this bottling takes an extremely tropical approach. Showing honeydew, banana cream and bubblegum on the nose. It’s restrained upon first sip before overpowering tropical waves take hold. A well-made wine, it will find fans who crave this flowery style.
