Bodega Classica
Rioja (Spain), Spain (Spain)
12 x 750 ml
Cured Meat, Ham, Red Meat, Veal roasted
The 2017 Lopez de Haro Crianza has a mellow bouquet of dried herbs, terracotta tiles and red and black fruit that is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: tart red berried fruit, laced with tobacco and dried herbs on the dry, crisp finish. This is a superb classical Rioja Crianza and a steal at this price.

"The 2018 Ventoux Terrasses is a normal blend of 60%Grenache and 40% Syrah that was mostly destemmed and brought up in a mix of concrete and stainless steel. It offers a rocking bouquet of black cherries, ground pepper, flowers and violets with almost marine-like hints in its minerality. Medium to full-bodied, fresh focused, pure and with fine tannins. It’s another winner from this domaine."

"A bright and cheery malbec made with finesse. The palate is cut and refreshed with a salty component, zesty acidity and mildly sinewy tannins. Sleek with notes of earth, new leather and blackberry. Impressively complex with a memorable finish. Drink now or hold until 2023."

12 x 750 ml
Cured Meat, Hard Cheese, Red Meat, Roasted Vegetables, Veal roasted
Boysenberry and plum fruit lead on the palate and the structure toes a fine line between big fruit and oak nuance. Sweet oak notes usher in a core of dark fruit that is lengthy in briar and cherry flavors. The tannins are supple and full on entry with a little firmness on the finish to lend structure and enhance the wine's suitability for food pairings.

Rue Naujac
Columbia Valley (USA), Washington (USA)
12 x 750 ml
Cured Meat, Hard Cheese, Red Meat, Veal roasted
Bold and full-bodied, with balance & complexity. Showing aromas of black & red fruits, toasted herbs, graphite and leather. A mouthful of ripe dark fruit consisting of blackberry and black currant combined with notes of spice and dark chocolate. A fruit-forward finish offering a balanced and integrated tannin structure. This Cab is a blend of two different vineyards, one in Wahluke Slope AVA & the other in Horse Heaven Hills AVA. 2018 is likely the best Cabernet Sauvignon vintage in Washington since 2007 or 2012.
"A creation of Ontario importer Nicholas Pearce in partnership with a French winemaker with 30 years experience in Washington, Rue Naujac is the street Pearce lived on while studying/working in France, and Bordeaux is the country's 33rd department, both of which gave the inspiration for the name and lot # of this wine. It's made of pure Cabernet Sauvignon, 64% of which is from the coveted Wahluke Slope AVA, and 36% Horse Heaven Hills AVA, with 15% new oak used for maturation. It's crafted in a typically forward, plush and dark fruit flavoured Washington style, immediately engaging and appealing, with a vague sensation of sweetness on the palate to broaden appeal. Tannins are thick and velvety, while mocha-chocolate flavours fold into the fruit. Both sophisticated and approachable, a winning style all around, well priced."
