Broglia ‘La Meirana’ Gavi di Gavi *****
Piedmont, Italy 2005 | $51.17

Winemaker's notes:
This is the most representative and classic wine produced by the farm and it is for this reason that its label carries the name of the farm: the Meirana on it. As a matter of fact the very oldest document which states the origin of the name "Gavi" is preserved at the Record Office in Genova and mentions vineyards and chestnut woods on a spot called Meirana. That document dates back to 971 A.D.. Therefore the grape-growing tradition of the Meirana began at the dawn of the history of the village of Gavi.

          This wine is made in stainless - steel containers at controlled temperature. It ferments between 18 and 20 degrees in order to preserve its fruity and fresh flavor. The wine "La Meirana" shows the extraordinary characteristics typical of the area of Gavi where the delicious almond - taste, unique in its kind, can be found.

Qupe Marsanne
Santa Ynez 2004 | $45.85

Winemaker Tasting Notes
This wine is 87% Marsanne and 13% Roussanne; all of the lots were fermented and aged separately. Production techniques were basically the same for all lots – whole cluster pressed; chilled and settled for 24-48 hours; barrel fermented in older French oak barrels. Lots of minerality, with classic peach pit, citrus, hazelnut and a trace of honey. This is a lighter, more elegant, expression of the grapes than typical for us; it does have a bit lower alcohol and a tad higher acidity. It should age beautifully all the same.

Truchard Syrah
Carneros, California 2001 | $36.96

Winemaker's notes:
“The wine was aged for 10 months in both French (90%) and American (10%) oak; 30% of these barrels were new. Aromas of cassis, plum, and blackberry; with hints of vanilla, white pepper, and earth. The mouth is layered with jammy flavors of black cherry and red currants; followed by mineral and cracked black pepper.  Velvety tannins provide an opulent finish of fruit and spice.”

There are 12 acres of Syrah planted on the Truchard Estate Vineyard. Four acres are in the “Highlands” region to the north, and 8 acres are located at the southern end of the vineyard. These areas are dominated by austere hillsides composed of volcanic rock and ash. The vines range from 7 - 14 years old and benefit from the unique combination of soil, exposure, and cool Carneros temperatures. The result is a full-bodied wine, with flavors and structure reminiscent of the northern Rhone.

Poderi Colla Docletto d’Alba
Piedmont, Italy 2004 | $36.01

Intense ruby red in color, the nose is characteristically ample, fruity, with almond notes; flavorful, full, fresh and vinous on the palate, with a long finish, this is an appealing, easy-going wine. An all-around food wine in the Piedmontese tradition, it is perfect with Italian-style pasta or grilled chicken dishes.

Vall Llach ‘Embriux’
Priorat, Spain  2002 | $50.69

A fantastically successful venture founded in 1990 by singer Luis Llach and notary Enric Costa in the Priorat DOCa in the village of Porrera. The Vall Llach (1998 was the first vintage) is from nearly 100 year old vines and is a blockbuster mélange of Cariñena, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Embruix is an amazingly rich, harmonious blend of Cariñena, Cabernet, Grenache, Merlot and Syrah with a lovely tone of red fruit adding to its character.

“Fresh blueberry aromas and flavors give this red an immediate appeal, deepened by sweet vanilla accents. The wine is focused and fresh, gentle yet lively, and brings you back for another sip.”
