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".
This wine is more raspberry patch than raspberry, with all the brambly, stemmy, earthy herbaceousness you could ask of a properly treated Barolo. From a vineyard where the cover-crops are scythed to avoid noise pollution, this wine exemplifies the hands-on diligence of Ferdinando's practices.
Full-bodied, with red fruit, gentle oak, and velvety tannins, Ferdinando's entry-level Barolo will inspire your appetite for a rich risotto or meaty pasta. This wine plays well with others. 2019 was one of the three great Piedmont vintages of the 2010s.
With fruit grown directly adjacent to the wildness of the Alta Langhe, this wine has a hearty, robust body full of red fruit and spice that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Ferdinando Principiano assembles this classic Dolcetto from his old vineyards in Monforte d'Alba. Aromas of red fruit, violets, and balsam wood make this a great pairing with a charcuterie board.
Classic Stellenbosch blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes with a light tannin and good dark fruit aromas from one of South Africa's best young winemakers.
