Atypical Zin, from 50-year-old vines; drier than most, and not jammy or booze-heavy. Well balanced, with notes of dark cherry and black pepper. Endless food-pairing possibilities.
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 nose of honeycomb and white tea turns into crisply ripe melon on the palate. No oak and no malo make this a great summer patio drink, or a great pairing with rich, cream-of-etcetera soups.
From a south-facing slope in the Mayacamas Volcanic Range, this bold wine has a nose of green pear, grapefruit, and buttery chamomile, with lively acidity and crisp minerality.
