The Blend A classical Amarone basePlus a rare indigenous grape the estate does not reveal Style This wine is described by the producer as a meta Amarone. It sits above traditional categories and is created with complete artistic freedom rather than DOCG rules.The result is a monumental red with layers of dark cherry, cocoa, incense, dried herbs, and polished cedar. The texture is dense, fluid, and almost sculptural. The wine carries both power and elegance and evolves in the glass for hours. The Producer’s Vision Hurlo is treated as a work of art. Each vintage is built from intuition and emotion, not from a fixed recipe or technical sheet. No two editions are intended to be the same. The wine expresses history, experimentation, and the freedom of the creator.

Very low stock Grapes: 100% Barbera Aging in casks for 6+ months, bottled unfiltered. Dazzling garnet color. Aromatics of red fruit, herbs and bramble. The palate shows blackberry, stewed raspberry, wild fennel, rainier cherry, a touch of mint and white pepper—with a dusty, pleasantly drying tannin that is perfectly balanced by the wine's lively acidity. Porello was founded in 1930 by Cesare Porello when the region was not yet known for its wines, but rather its peaches. After WWII, his sons, Riccardo and Ettore, went against the tendency of the times, and dedicated themselves instead to working in the vineyards. Today, Marco Porello is the third generation of his family to craft wines from the family estate in Roero, located northwest of Alba on the left bank of the Tanaro River in the Piedmont region. Porello has 15 hectares of vines located in two of Roero’s twenty-three villages, and in some of the region’s most highly regarded vineyard locations, including Mombirone in Canale and Tanone in Vezza d’Alba. The grapes for this 100% Barbera were harvested by hand, destemmed and subsequently fermented in temperature controlled stainless-steel vats. After being gently pressed, the resulting wine was aged in a combination of wooden cask, stainless steel and cement and bottled unfiltered. Food pairing: antipasti,  grilled seasoned vegetables, stews, pastas, breaded veal, pork or chicken milanese with light sauces.

Aromas and notes of ripe red and black fruits.  Sweet and soft tannins, with bright acidity. Medium-to-full bodied, very close to Italian Sangiovese (Brunello, Chianti, CabSauv "blend").An elegant and very enjoyable wine, still fresh despite the old age. After resting in barrels for 24 months and 24 months in bottles, it remains intense with the prevalent ripe fruits of a fine Tempranillo. From 60+ year-old vines in Rioja Alavesa. Rioja Alavesa is the smallest  of the three wine-producing sub-regions in Rioja's area. Grape: 100% Tempranillo

FREE shipping. Concentrated and earthy, this is a full-bodied, moderately tannic but complex wine, from the earthy, spicy aromas through the ripe plum and anise flavors and mineral like finish.  Lovers of Inglenook's old wines will recognize the name Niebaum, which refers to that winery's founder, a sea captain named Gustave Niebaum. Francis Coppola acquired much of the property and began reconstructing the estate back in the mid-1970s. Located in Rutherford, this is an exemplary place for Bordeaux varietals in California. The name "Rubicon" is a classical reference to Caesar's march on Rome--'the crossing of the Rubicon'--meant to suggest a point of no return, appropriate for Niebaum-Coppola's flagship production. A proprietary blend, this is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate's prime vineyard blocks planted to the original Niebaum Cabernet clone, with only small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. An inviting deep ruby-red color. This is a very aromatic wine, offering dark fruit, cassis, dried herbs, cocoa powder and vanilla. Flavors are of more blackberry and other dark fruit, black olives, caramel, root beer and vanilla. The wine's tannins are round and chewy, offering great balance and a lingering toasty and fruity finish. A great match with red meats and pastas

FREE shipping for 2..Beaulieu Vineyard is a historically significant winery in California's Rutherford AVA that has been producing wine for more than a century. During Prohibition, it managed to obtain a contract to supply sacramental wine to churches, meaning it was able to remain in production between 1920 and 1933 when the Volstead Act was repealed. This makes Beaulieu one of the longest continually operational wineries in the United States.The company was founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour. His background was not in winemaking or vineyard management, so he hired famed enologist André Tchelistcheff to come to Rutherford to establish the estate. Tchelistcheff went on to create the prestige cuvée Library Selection Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and mentored many of the next generation of Napa winemakers, including Robert Mondavi, Mike Grgich and Joe Heitz. Producer The deep roots of Beaulieu Vineyard were first planted back in 1900, when founder Georges de Latour noticed similarities with his native Bordeaux and declared the Napa Valley ideal for winemaking. He followed up on this belief by planting vineyards in Rutherford with grafted, phylloxera-resistant French vines. The Cabernet Sauvignons that de Latour crafted from these grapes gave the world its first taste of California’s promise as a world-class winemaking region. In 1938 de Latour hired the young Russo-French enologist Andre Tchelistcheff, who would become California’s most distinguished winemaker. Tchelistcheff’s knowledge of traditional French techniques and willingness to experiment in local conditions brought BV the Grand Sweepstakes Award at the Golden Gate International Exposition, and led to the creation of Napa Valley’s first reserve wine, Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
