The Wines!
Scott Family chardonnay 2012
Exceptional: full bodied and intensely fruity (peach, lemon, pineapple) with toast, vanilla, and crème caramel overtones. It is crisp, well balanced, and long on the finish. Great value.
Campuget Rose 2014
Its color is an intense peony pink. Its bouquet is very aromatic, exhaling scents of small red fruits such as raspberries or black currants. In the mouth, there is a perfect balance between vivacity and mellowness. The final taste is very long, leaving a delicate impression of fruitiness.
Morgan Cote du Crows 2012
This Rhone-style blend has a rich ruby red color, highlighted with purple edges. Pomegranate, dried herbs, and floral aromas jump out of the glass. The wine is medium-bodied with soft tannins; it offers a mouthful of raspberry, black tea, and plum. Its weight and balance make it a perfect pairing with anything off the grill.
Shatter Grenache 2012
92 Points Robert Parker
"A collaboration between Napa's Joel Gott and Dave Phinney, the semi-opaque 2012 Cotes Catalanes Grenache is a smoking blend of 100% Grenache that comes from the singular, black schist soils located around the village of Maury, in the Agly Valley in the Roussillon. Aged in French oak (a small part being new) and hitting 15.6% natural alcohol, this sexy, full-bodied, pedal-to-the-metal effort bears plenty of resemblance to the old-vine, 100% Grenache efforts coming from Chateauneuf du Pape. Kirsch liqueur, blackberry, toasted spice, garrigue and hints of vanilla bean all flow nicely to a seamless, silky, yet decadently styled red that has fine tannin, and a blockbuster, heady finish. It will certainly not appease those looking for lightweight aromas and flavors, but count me a fan. The oak is still present, so give it a year in bottle; it will drink nicely for another 5-6 years. "
Carpe Diem Cabernet Sauvignion 2012
Carpe Diem Cabernet Sauvignon is made in a classic winemaking style, respecting the characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. The wine is fruit forward, elegant, and exhibits soft tannins, making it pleasant to drink in its youth. Oak is used sparingly to keep Carpe Diem fresh and vibrant
