2006 Paolo Bea Rosso de Veo
Montefalco, Umbria, Italy

10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
Rosso de Veo is produced from younger vine Sagrantino grape grown mostly in the Cerrete vineyard in the Montefalco region. This light red wine is an exotic tangy adventure in flavors and texture. The concentrated cranberry flavors are accented with high acidity, making for a bright, thrilling wine with a clean finish that would cut through the heartiest of dishes. The wine is aged one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in the bottle. This is definitely a food wine best paired with rich Italian dishes. - Jeff Prather

This bright, approachable red wine from the hilly region of Umbria in Montefalco is a product of the cooler climate at altitude.

(Wine Club Selection, May 2013)

Dolcetto means "little sweet one" and it refers to the smallish, early ripening red grape that the folks of Piedmont in northern Italy planted to satisfy the birds so they would move on before the prized Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo ripened. It is not widely grown in California. This particular bottling from winemaker Rob Lawson is a delicious, deeply-flavored, dark-colored red wine with lots of facets of flavor. The nose is full of bright cherry and plum aromas, while in the mouth there are pronounced flavors of ripe raspberries. The wine is lush without being overly extracted and shows excellent balance throughout the long finish. Bravo to Rob Lawson for producing a bargain of a tasty Italianesque wine. Plus, as a bonus, it is made of organically grown grapes. - Jeff Prather
2008 Comartin Cellars 'Tierra Alta' Grenache, Santa Ynez Valley
Santa Barbara County, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
Tierra Alta Vineyard is in the upper reaches of Ballard Canyon, which is in the Santa Ynez Valley. The 1200 ft elevation and clay/limestone soils result in a wine that is the most delicate of the three Grenache-based wines made by Comartin Cellars, with expressive red cherry and pomegranate fruit, bright acidity and gentle tannins.Peter Granoff
2009 Loomis Ember
Napa Valley, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
This Rhone-style wine made by winemaker Tim Milos is a careful blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise. For California jammy fruit fans, beware. Loomis wines are special exceptions to the Napa fruit parade, offering bright, clean and pure old world flavors. There is a definite Rhone-ish spiciness to go along with the complex fruit character of these flavorful grapes that is balanced by ample acidity. The aromas and flavors are dominated with Syrah characteristics such as leather and earth. For the price, there is a lot of flavor packed in this bottle. - Jeff Prather
2009 Chateau Redortier Beaumes de Venise
Rhone Valley, France
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise from Redortier reflects the charm of the twin sisters that run the property. It is ripe, round, and smooth with lovely blackberry flavors and a hint of peppery spice on the long finish. This wine is nicely structured with fine tannins that support the fruit but don't intrude on the flavors. This is a delicious value from the Rhone. - Jeff Prather
2010 Forteto della Luja Le Grive
Piedmont, Italy
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
Barbera is the most widely planted grape in Piemonte where it generally plays second fiddle to Nebbiolo, of Barolo and Barbaresco fame. This lovely Le Grive is an intriguing blend of the high acid Barbera grape paired with the softer Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) for a contrast of opposites that create a wonderful whole. This is a great example of complementary synergies. It is riper and softer than most Barbera due mostly to the blend of Pinot Noir, with sweet round fruit and a lovely smooth finish. - Jeff Prather
