Malbec, Cahors, France
Leave it to Fabien Jouves to recuperate the oft-underrated grape Malbec into a juicy, fresh-faced crusher ready to drink now! The name is a play off the esteemed Burgundy appellation Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuit, a wink wink nudge nudge that this isn’t your whatever-sounding French red but rather, a slightly edgy, natty red with a mischievous twinkle in its eye. Farmed biodynamically and fermented and aged for six months in tank, this almost reads like a mixed berry salad in the glass, all mulberry, cherry and spiced plum. Liquorice nibs, blackberry panna cotta, vanilla yogurt and saddle leather with velour tracksuit tannins and tangy raspberry seed acidity. A touch of earth brings some much-needed levity to this full, fruit-driven & food-friendly stunner. Find it near the BBQ, commiserating with the other grill dads about when to flip that bad boy over.
Cab Franc, Niagara, Ontario, Canada
Meet RAVER DAVE'S! A lip-smacking, spicy and satisfying Niagara Cab Franc that is part power, part deep fruit. Made in collaboration with our darling pals over at Paradise Grapevine and a part of our Ontario House project bringing well priced, interesting and delicious local wines to your table. Made from two parcels at Willms Vineyard in Four Mile Creek, one younger plot bringing LIVELY juiced-up flare, the other 37 and showing more classically rich and brooding. FUN FACT! When we were barrel tasting in the PGV Geary cellar, we LOVED the young parcel's vibrancy and undeniably delicious purple fruit, but we were charmed by the structure, maturity and finesse of the more classic-leaning older parcel. We couldn't choose and knew it was time to BLEND. This bottling feels like the last drops of summer warmth, trapped like a message in a bottle reading "the party isn't over yet!", while wiggling into its beat up leather jacket and coziest blanker scarf. Ready for your next rave (obvi), family brunch or horror film marathon.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Valley, Chile
There’s more than a bit of razzle dazzle to this bright, medium-bodied red from family-owned winery Echeverria in the hot, arid climate of the Central Valley. The ‘No Es Pituko’ wines explore their pre-phylloxera vines, many of them over 100 years old. Made with no added sulphur, this is rich but surprisingly fresh— squished cherry on cedar, vanilla bean & cellar earth with a touch of funk & a whiff of mint. Proves that Cab Sauv is not just for bistro steaks!
