Flavors From Around the Globe
Welcome, Friends! We have some delightful discoveries for our Cellar Society this month! We’re excited to bring you a selection of wines that promise to please any palate. Whether you’re a connoisseur of reds or a lover of whites, our handpicked selections offer something for everyone.
Sophisticated & Bolder Things
Attems Pinot Grigio
For those who enjoy the crisp and refreshing qualities of a well-crafted white, the Attems Pinot Grigio is a must-try. This wine, produced in the picturesque region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy, is a testament to the elegance and versatility of Pinot Grigio.
The Attems Pinot Grigio greets you with a nose of green apple, pear, and a touch of citrus, followed by a palate that is light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. The vibrant acidity and minerality make it a perfect match for seafood dishes, summer salads or simply enjoyed on its own as a refreshing aperitif.
Scavino Barbera
Switching gears to a red that exudes character, we have the Scavino Barbera from Piedmont, Italy. Barbera is known for its deep color, full body, and lively acidity, and this wine is a stellar example of those traits.
On the nose, you’ll be greeted by aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is robust with flavors of plum, blackberries, and a hint of oak, all wrapped up in a silky texture with a bright finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, roasted meats, or aged cheeses, making it a wonderful addition to your dinner table.
Bolder Things
Mas Bressades Red Blend
Our journey begins with the Mas Bressades Red Blend, a wine that embodies the essence of bold and dynamic flavors. Hailing from the Costières de Nîmes in the Rhône Valley, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah showcases a masterful balance of structure and intensity.
Expect a symphony of dark fruit flavors, with blackberries and plums leading the charge, underpinned by notes of pepper, licorice, and a hint of smokiness. The rich tannins and the long, velvety finish make this an ideal companion for hearty dishes such as grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a rich, creamy cheese platter. This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a full-bodied red.
Jean-Marc Morgon
Next up is the Jean-Marc Morgon, a wine that offers a harmonious blend of fruit-forward exuberance and elegant complexity. Sourced from the Morgon appellation in Beaujolais, this wine is crafted from 100% Gamay grapes, known for their vibrant and expressive character.
In the glass, you’ll find a lively bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and a touch of earthiness, complemented by hints of violets and spice. The palate is beautifully balanced with a refreshing acidity and a silky texture that lingers on. Pair this delightful wine with lighter fare such as roasted poultry, charcuterie, or a simple mushroom risotto to fully appreciate its finesse.
Finer Things
Aston Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
For those who relish the finer things in life, the Aston Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a treasure to behold. Sourced from the prestigious vineyards of Sonoma County, this Pinot Noir epitomizes elegance and sophistication.
Expect an enticing aroma of dark cherries, raspberries, and a touch of rose petals, with subtle undertones of spice and earth. The palate is complex and nuanced, with layers of red fruit, delicate tannins, and a long, graceful finish. This exquisite wine is a perfect match for a special meal, whether it’s a seared duck breast, a rich mushroom risotto, or simply enjoyed in the company of good friends and family.
Matthew Wallace Cabernet Sauvignon
Finally, we present the Matthew Wallace Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that stands as a testament to the richness and depth of Napa Valley. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse of flavor and complexity, offering a sensory experience that is both bold and refined.
In the glass, you’ll find a bouquet of blackcurrants, cassis, and a hint of tobacco, leading to a palate that is lush and full-bodied. The flavors of dark chocolate, blackberries, and a touch of espresso are beautifully balanced by firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a splendid companion to a hearty steak, a rich chocolate dessert, or simply savored on its own as a testament to the art of winemaking.
