  • Selected & Blended by Kermit Lynch
    SELECTED & BLENDED BY KERMIT LYNCH Country: France Region: Rhône Appellation(s): Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, Côtes du Rhône Producer: Various Farming: Lutte raisonnée Website: www.kermitlynch.com Nearly forty years of doing business in France and Italy have given Kermit Lynch a level of expertise that few in the wine industry can boast. Countless hours with growers in some of the most famous vineyards and cellars of Europe have offered more than just a casual look at what it takes to be a great grower, let alone a great winemaker. Kermit Lynch was the first to champion the benefits of unfined and unfiltered wines, long before they had become fashionable. This belief is really a matter of taste, and the proof has always been in the glass, offering a purer expression of fruit and an unadulterated reflection of the terroir. Kermit’s conviction has been so strong over the years that he has been able to persuade even the most hard-headed vignerons to test his theories. Long-term relationships with vignerons in every major wine growing region offer a tremendous array of opportunities. Every year, Kermit enjoys a creative collaboration with some growers to find the best of their selections. Together, they work towards creating a final blend that showcases the region in all its glory at a price point that is difficult to match. VIN DE PAYS DE VAUCLUSE Sourced from the terroirs around Domaine de Durban (click here for more information), the grapes for this red Rhône are sourced from parcels next to the village of Beaumes-de-Venise.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

Here we have a homage to and gently basket pressed, we are looking to make a complex the Spanish wines of Priorat, merging very old wine through simple methods. We retained 90% whole-berries bush vine Grenache and spicy dry grown to slow the ferment and to give delicate lift, with the balance as whole-bunch for sappy structure. We worked those ferments Carignan. very gently to preserve freshness, but allowed long maceration to build necessary tannins and complexity. Matured in a mixture of inert tanks and old french oak puncheons to provide maturation but not oak flavour. Composition Fragrant Grenache fruit provides alluring sour cherry and spicy raspberry lift, with a serious lick of dried herbs and amaro bitters from the Carignan. A balance between red scented perfume with a core of wildness, earth, and complexity buried within. The palate is long and lithe, with a depth of fruit intensity and filed nicely back by a line of sandy tannin.
