Winemaker Notes

The Viña Echeverría Reserva range comprises seven wines, which are characterized by their lively and fruity appeal. Fresh and vibrant with little or no oak, they are a true expression of the individuality of each grape variety. These are wines which work as well as aperitif or house wines, as they do with food.

The grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in 225 litre French used barrels for 10-12 months. 

This Carmenère combines intense aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries, with hints of red bell pepper, dried fruit and spices. Smooth and full-bodied, it has a round and delicate mouthful due to 12 months oak barrel ageing.

Winemaker Notes

The Rubicon is a true expression of the Meerlust estate and draws fruit from our four distinctive terroirs. Each terroir provides a unique element to the final blend. Very deep, youthful colour, and intense almost purple hue. Quintessential Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood, fennel, and intense spiciness. A typical liquorice note also evident on the nose. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded tannins.

The 2018 vintage was one of exceptional quality for Heitz Cellar. The cooler to moderate temperatures during the growing season allowed us to balance sugar and phenolic maturity in the fruit while maintaining natural acidity to help preserve the fresh characteristics of the vintage. The elegance and balanced structure of the 2018 vintage will make this an incredible wine to drink upon release and will continue to reward with cellar aging.

Winemaker Notes

Plungerhead wines start in the heart of Lodi, California, which has grown in popularity
over recent years for crafting world class wines. Our goal is to make wines reflective
of Lodi’s true character with rich flavors that are bold and reflective of its unique soil
and Mediterranean climate.

We use three primary vineyards for our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourcing in
Lodi; Alabama Ranch Vineyard, Mettler Family Vineyards, and Stama Vineyards. Both
Alabama Ranch and Mettler Family Cabernet are in Borden Ranch sub appellation, while Stama Vineyards is in the Clement Hills sub appellations of Lodi.

The Borden Ranch sub appellation is known for having well drained, deep red soil and
produces well-structured and concentrated red wines. Clement Hills sub appellation,
known for its rolling hills at the base of the Sierra Foothills, has a warmer and wetter
climate known to produce award winning red varietals. The balance of the blend is a
collection of red varietals including Petite Sirah, Zinfandel from Lodi, and Tempranillo
from Clarksburg. All three varietals add individual nuance flavor, texture, and complexity to the wine.

A deep purple in color, this wine has alluring aromatic notes of blackberry, leather,
cinnamon and toasted cedar with hints of white pepper. The first sip shows juicy flavorsof dark ripe cherry, and raspberry compote. The mouthfeel is silky, with a lengthy and flavorful finish with notes of plum, vanilla and toasted almonds.

Pinot Noir

91 Points, Rebecca Gibb MW (Vinous)

An unadulterated expression of Pinot Noir. Broody, savory and smoky, the wine envelops you with its seductive and slightly mysterious caress. There are herbal undertones, with 30% whole bunch undoubtedly contributing some of that character, but it's only one layer of many, not the dominating factor. This was a warm summer but the wine retains mouthwatering freshness, and the whole bunch also brings a lovely sappy tension on the long finish. There's 20% new French oak, allowing the fruit to be the star. Supple and drinking well now, it's an intriguingly fragrant style that shows both an adventurous and a more natural side to New Zealand Pinot Noir.

Poujeaux is a wine that I often hold up as classic example of what the Médoc can achieve, and here again it's a huge success. It has a beautiful nose, with vibrant and well extracted brambly dark fruits on the palate - but not so much that it feels like it's pushing too hard. It's an architectural wine, a more classic take on the vintage, but for me this is where the money is in Moulis. It takes its time to unravel, and the heat of the summer comes through in its rich, ripe mouthfeel. The tannins close in on the finish, which has a menthol and eucalyptus edge that suggests a long life ahead.

The 2018 D'Issan is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aging in 50% new and 50% second year barrels for an estimated 18 months. With 13.97% alcohol and a deep garnet-purple color, it features baked berries, warm cherries and cassis with spice box and fragrant earth plus tea hints. Medium to full-bodied, it has a great core of muscular fruit with firm, fine-grained tannins, with nice freshness, finishing layered with mineral notions.

Well-balanced, fleshed out by redcurrant, raspberry and black cherry fruits. There is tannic build-up, gently layering but adding up to quite the wall at this stage, suggesting a long life ahead, and beautifully judged cigar smoke edging through the finish. Good stuff from Issan, and a wine I have tasted both at en primeur and during ageing in barrel. 50% new oak.

At the bottom of the hill below Ausone and across the road, Moulin Saint-Georges makes a fine, modern St Emilion. The 2018 seemed a little understated aromatically, but that will arrive. The palate is very lush, but with good structure and an appealing chocolatey, sweet, ripe Merlot character. A crowd-pleaser, in the best sense. Drink 2022-2032.

SAVAGNIN

Notes

Savagnin blanc is mostly grown in the Jura. It is most famous as the only grape allowed in the vin jaunes of Château-Chalon and L'Étoile, similar to fino sherry with a covering of flor but not fortified and without the use of the solera system.

100% Savagnin aged for 4 years in barrel without being topped up before bottling. This is a “baby Vin Jaune” according to Jean Francois. Powerful aromatics and richness.

Caves Jean Bourdy is one of the oldest domaines in the Jura. Created in the late 1400’s, the Domaine is now run by brothers Jean-Phillipe and Jean-François, the 15th generation of winemakers at this estate. The Bourdys grow their vines on 10 hectares of land, including a half hectare in Chateau Chalon AOC. Caves Jean Bourdy makes wine the old fashioned way, using old barrels—some as much as 80 years old—for fermentation and aging of the wines. The Domaine was certified biodynamic in 2006, and the combination of some of the best terroir in the Jura and careful and patient winemaking results in wines that thoroughly express the land on which it is grown.

These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. This wine is aged in a 350-barrel and a 228-litre used barrel. The wine is open and intense on the nose with notes of orange and grapefruit. The attack is fresh and supple. A well-balanced and concentrated wine with good mineral length on the finish.

The B Side Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply concentrated and expressive wine. Aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, currants, Kalamata olive, and dried lavender are pronounced on the nose. This is a full-bodied wine with juicy layers of dark fruit, jam, baked pie, and hints of cinnamon flavor. The brooding fruit is quintessential Napa and Sonoma and with ripe, powdery tannins the wine is soft and easy to enjoy in its youth. The wine is aged for 12 months in predominately French oak barrels (Francois Frere & Radoux) with a small portion seeing time in American Oak. The toasty French oak frames the wine and the addition of a small amount of American oak gives a pleasing, sweet coconut lift. This overall wine is deep, well-structured, and intensely flavored with soft tannins and a lengthy finish.

Sangiovese

Winemaker Notes

Younger, more accessible version of the Brunello, but already with an excellent structure and a great personality, Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione.

Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate's younger vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is aged in large casks and barriques before a period of bottle aging. The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello".
