Each varietal  - Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Chardonnay - brings its strengths to this skin contact blend. Aromatic and textured, with fine tannins. 

Pearl Morissette's first venture into Meritage, in a leaner style but with the expected dark fruit and minerality. A nice change of pace. FYI, "Meritage" rhymes with "heritage", not "garage".

Orange wine from Garnacha Blanca with an intense colour and strong tannins and acidity.

Recchione's Pinot Noirs are powerful wines from some of the rustic villages at the northern end of the Cote de Nuits. This wine, already with six years of age to it, has smoothed out some of its rough edges and now shows incredible depth and strong tannin for a special dinner.

Jeremy Recchione is a young negociant winemaker in Burgundy working with fruit from all over the region but his cellar is in Gevrey-Chambertin, the village where this wine is grown and raised. For most of his wines only a barrel or two is made every year. This Pinot Noir, from the Creux Brouillard vineyard, is deep and intoxicating with black fruit, spice, and gamey aromas.

The Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Pinot Noir from the village of Segrois is made in a lighter style, easier drinking at younger ages, and in the great vintages compares very well to more famous Burgundy villages.

The Maconnais is the warmest growing region in Burgundy and makes very developed fruity styles of Chardonnay. Recchione's version sees a bit of oak for texture.

The vineyard in Pouilly-Fuisse where this wine was grown has since been upgraded to Premier Cru and this wine gives insight into why. It has an amazing blend of richness and balance, with tropical fruit and flint aromas. 

Inky dark Red wine in colour with a vibrant and fresh style on the palate.

Syrah from a Rhone vineyard that's a soft, plush, easy drinking wine with moderate tannins and more fruit than spice or pepper.

Grapes from Southwest France made into a light version of an Orange wine, with some of the tannins present.

Love letter to the field blends of Alsace and Austria. High acid, aromatic grape varieties including Riesling and Gewurz and a little touch of local Oregon oak make this an interesting new wine from Fossil & Fawn. 

From their Silvershot Vineyard, this Pinot Noir is dense with fruit, dried herbs, and tannins that will soften with time or a strong decant. A wine built for the long haul.

Heavy skin contact gives this wine a rich golden colour and a striking tannin that's elevated by its gorgeous tropical fruit and Turkish Delight aromas.
