Noah's Bramaterra is a great example of Alto Piemonte's potential to step out of Barolo and Barbaresco's shadow. This selection of Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina spends two years in barrel and another year in bottle before release and is beautifully perfumed and complex.
The ultimate Old World/New World wine collaboration between Rothschild and Mondavi. It took the two of them four years to approve a label that suited them both.
A medium-bodied red with notes of black cherry licorice, strawberry, and a hint of leather, this one could use some time in a decanter. Delicious now, but totally cellar-worthy.
Made of 100% Cab Franc from PM's Redfoot vineyard, the Ressac has a chalk minerality, crunchy redfruit notes, and an anise-leaning pepperiness, delivered in a medium-bodied structure with refreshing acidity.
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".
