2017 Tenuta San Leonardo Sauvignon Blanc
 Vette di San Leonardo

Pale straw-yellow. Perfumed nose of herb-accented aromas of green fig, tomato leaf and white flowers is in a pungent New Zealand-like style. Bright floral and white pepper notes add lift to the lively but simple citrus fruit flavors. A subtle herbal nuance lends complexity on the long finish but what this wine is really all about is early juicy appeal. Drinking window: 2018 – 2020. $25 Our Price $16.45

Rocca di Frassinello 2015 Le Sughere di Frassinello

2017 TOR Chardonnay Beresini Vineyard Cuvee Torchiana

This wine comes from a single three-acre Chardonnay vineyard introduced to Tor Kenward by Larry Hyde in 2008. It belonged to one of Larry Hyde’s oldest friends in the Napa Valley, Steve Beresini, and was planted three decades ago with cuttings Larry gave Steve. This is now referred to as “Hyde Selection Wente Clone.” Today it produces a minuscule crop, usually between one and two tons per acre, with clusters half the normal size. Primary coopers are Saury and three-year dry aged Francois Frères. The 2017 Chardonnay Beresini Vineyard Cuvee Torchiana opens with lifted lemon, lime and mandarin scents with fresh pears and ginger plus croissant notions. The palate is big, rich, full-bodied, decadent, lively and hedonistic, with spicy and savory layers and a very, very long finish. 314 cases produced. $65 (Arrives 5/22/19)

2017 Talbott KALI HART CHARDONNAY

Winemaker Notes: Kali Hart is our most fruit-forward expression in the Talbott portfolio of wines.

Aromas of vanilla and brioche lead to dense fruit characteristics of bosc pear, pineapple and melon, giving this wine a lush and inviting palate. This Chardonnay has a soft, clean finish with a hint of minerality and hard spice notes. $20 Our Price $14.99

2016 Chateau De Meursault Bourgogne Clos Du Chateau

Winemaker Notes: This wine has a golden-green colour. Aromas of citrus and white fruits are present with a vanilla-grilled note. The fruitiness is pure on the palate, crisp, both greedy and tight. $53 Our Price $42.65
