Durante Le Spinee Pinot Grigio

Tasting Notes: From a tiny, certified organic and practicing biodynamic, family-run estate in NE Italy, this is brand new to the United States. Fermented naturally with native yeasts and minimal sulfite additions, this is Pinot Grigio with bold, savory, and kind of funky aromas and flavors that we love. This is not your typical Pinot Grigio folks. It will appeal to lovers of natural and/or orange wines, and it does see a bit of skin contact. The resulting wine kind of "walks on the wild side." Aromas and flavors of ripe apple, peach skin, musky herbs, and orange blossom lead into a rich yet lively palate. Enjoy with pho or other savory and umami dishes.

Kuleto Native Son

Tasting Notes:

A collision of old and new world styles, the expected and not, this wine marries our juiciest and spiciest Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, our most opulent, warm, fruit-driven Zinfandel, some dark peppery Petite Sirah, and our mouthwateringly grippy Sangiovese - just enough to drive your senses crazy. The resulting blend conjures up images of old head-trained California mixed field plantings.

Native Son showcases enticing aromas of red and black berries with hints of nutmeg, toasted wood and a lingering spice. The palate is smooth with a silky mouthfeel that highlights the dark cherry and plum while notes of warm vanilla and baking spices give way to a lengthy satisfying finish.

Kuleto Estate Frog Prince Red

Tasting Notes: Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Zinfandel. Aromas of raspberry, ripe cherry and dried herbs entice your senses. The nose leads into the palate filled with layer upon layer of red fruit. A vigorous acidity carries throughout, and is further accentuated by firm tannins that taper off hand in hand on the finish. This classic wine pairs with a juicy grilled steak.
