Elouan Pinot Noir 2016
Elouan Pinot Noir 2016
Rich, dark and intense fruit flavors take top billing in this 2016 Elouan Pinot Noir, a wine that beautifully reflects the warm and dry growing season. Dark ruby in color, the wine powers up with aromatics of plum pie, mixed-berry jam and smoky, game-bird characteristics that set the stage for flavors of cherry, blackberry, boysenberry and smoked bacon.

Frederic Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 2017
Frederic Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 2017
Esmonin is becoming one of the most consistent, high quality producers in Gevrey. They are now using a new bladder-press and have excellent control over the amount of pressure exerted on the grapes, which are picked only when they have reached ideal ripeness. After a short cold maceration gives the wines an extra dimension of fruit, they are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels of Allier and Nevers forest wood made by Radoux and Berthomieu, two of the very best coopers. Wines are aged in barrels of varying age and toast and then blended in order to achieve optimum balance and complexity.

Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
This vintage from Michael David Winery is an intense wine with a brilliant deep purple color. It shatters from the center of your glass all the way out to the rim. Buy Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon online from Vine Republic if you are looking for a wine that is well-structured, full bodied and capable of leaving your senses shaking after every sip. Always rated well by Wine Advocate, Earthquake is distilled from a vineyard in Lodi that was planted around the same time as the historic San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This cab is juicy with fruity notes coming front and center before giving the palate plenty of structure. Black cherry compote is both the featured aroma and flavor on the palate, but there are hints of blackcurrant. This combination gives Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon a taste that is still 100% cabernet: infused with just the right amount of anise, cocoa and tobacco leaf to give it character. The French oak casks it is aged in shine through in the charcoal and smoky notes that mix on the finish. Much the same as every wine on the list at the Michael David Winery, Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon finishes smooth thanks to mild tannins and a high-note finish. This wine is priced well enough that you should have no issues pairing it with a flavorful meat or pasta. You also can add it to your cellar for the next five years.

Mer Soleil Reserve Pinot Noir 2017
Mer Soleil Reserve Pinot Noir 2017
It was only natural that we would make a Pinot Noir in addition to Chardonnay. The Santa Lucia Highlands is well-known as the perfect home for both these varietals. Grapes ripen slowly, enabling us to make wine of heightened complexity, with layers of aromas and flavors. We named Mer Soleil after the two forces of nature - the sea and sun - that shape this singular character, and they are every bit as powerful in creating our Pinot as our Chardonnay.
