The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years, as the aromatics are quite open and expressive. Sweet tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, mint and crushed red berry fruit build into the layered finish. This mi...
The pungent, plush 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna Road Vineyard (Martinborough) offers up layers of both grassy and elderflower flavors in combination with a tropical fruit salad. It's sweetly fruited and ripe, presenting a rich mouthful of Sauvignon-ness. ...
The 2020 Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati offers a bit more depth than the straight Dolcetto but with the energy that runs through all the 2020s here. Dark cherry fruit, leather, spice, tobacco and dried herbs lend notable complexity. This is beautifully d...
Off gravel soils at the bottom of the coteaux, the 2020 Les Grézeaux is a fine, fruity wine but it's much more than that. It's a delicate style that packs concentration within its light, silky bodied core. The tannins are fine and like licking a stone....
DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days ofNebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemakingprotocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B. Croce, jeweler of the House of Savoia:the wine is bottled soon after the fermentation so as to retain a gentle off-dryfinish and a lovely energy.
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.

The 2021 Barolo Ravera is laced with bright red-toned fruit, iron, spice, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the Ravera its distinctively driving feel. Today, the 2021 is a bit sinewy. I suspect it will always remain a v...
The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains its sublime sense ...
