Weekend Wine Tastings W E E K E N D W I N E F E A T U R E | M A Y 9 - 1 0 , 2 0 2 0 Early Mountain Pet Nat Blanc 2019 Virginia Retail: $24.95 | Sale: $22.65 Pétillant naturel (Pét-Nat), literally meaning “naturally sparkling,” is a term for sparkling wine made by Méthode Ancestrale. The wine begins its fermentation as any other white; but prior to completion, the wine is bottled under crown cap to finish the fermentation in bottle. Distinctive aromas of honeysuckle, grapefruit pith, pear and peach are highlighted by notes of tropical hops. The aromatic intensity of Malvasia Bianca is complemented by the wine’s effervescence. The fine bubbles, produced by the ferment finished in bottle, creates a unique mouthfeel with the natural tannins from the grape. Malvasia Bianca Giuseppe Bocchino Cortese dell'Alto "Cadicarassa" 2018 Italy Retail: $14.95 | Sale: $13.45 Italy's Piedmont region is home to the Bocchino Winery which sustainably produces diverse wine styles. Crafted from the cortese grape, this dry white shares aromas of white blossom and lime. Flavours include apple and almond with a crisp, clean finish. Great with hors d'oeuvres, salads with goat cheese, pasta or white fish. 100% Cortese | Sustainable Bastgen Paulinshofberg Spätlese Riesling 2017 Germany Retail: $23.95 | Sale: $21.55 Founded in 1850, Weingut Bastgen is located on the tiny hamlet of Monzel, not far from Bernkastel-Keus. The current owners are husband-and-wife team Armin Vogel and Mona Bastgen, who began working in the winery in 1993. They meticulously tend 4.5 ha (11.11 acres) of which 80% is Riesling. This 2017 vintage has crisp notes of peach & lime with a beautiful minerality. It is textured and bright with well-integrated acidity. 100% Riesling | 92 Points Wine Enthusiast Mas Redonne Bandol Rose 2018 France Retail: $24.95 | Sale: $22.65 The Tournier family established this estate in 1982, renovating it from an old farm in La Cadiere-d'Azur. They farm organically, focusing on Mourvedre, which they blend with a little Cinsault and Grenache for this textbook Bandol rosé. It's savory, with Mourvedre's earthy black fruit flavors, a little herbaceous and peppery, saline and firm. Pair with a classic summer lunch at Locke Store! 55% Mourvedre, 35% Cinsault, 10% Grenache | Organic | 90 Points Wine & Spirits Cantine Colosi Nero d'Avola 2018 Italy Retail: $17.95 | Sale: $16.15 Run by a father and son team, Cantina Colosi is one of Sicily`s most quality-conscious producers with vineyards planted on the volcanic soils of Northern Sicily and on the island of Salina. The varietal `Nero d`Avola` is a native Sicilian grape that has become very fashionable for its rich character and bold structure. Made in a simple and easy-drinking style, the unoaked 2018 Sicilia Nero d’Avola offers youthful brightness and variety-driven notes of wild cherry, cassis, licorice, and olives. It is a perfect pairing for red meats, pasta with tomato sauce, and aged cheeses. 100% Nero d'Avola | 87 Points Wine Advocate Patricia Green Pinot Noir Estate 2018 Oregon Retail: $39.95 | Sale: $35.95 Patricia Green Cellars is located in the Ribbon Ridge Appellation of the Willamette Valley on a 52 acre estate purchased in 2000 by Patty Green and Jim Anderson. Their 2018 Estate Pinot Noir is lithe and delicately layered, with expressive raspberry and pomegranate flavors that take on orange peel and spiced cinnamon notes on the way to polished tannins. Drink now through 2028. 100% Pinot Noir | 93 Points Wine Spectator Domaine Grand Veneur Les Champauvins Côtes du Rhône 2016 France Retail: $25.95 | Sale: $23.35 Intense, brilliant garnet-red in color, this wine reveals lovely fruit, loads of body and a heady bouquet of ground peppers, raspberries cherry liqueur, currants, and spice box. Full-bodied and dense, it tastes more like a “baby Châteauneuf” than a Côtes du Rhône. A complete wine, rich and elegant. 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre | 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck | 92 Points Wine Advocate *Tasting wines are discounted 10%, and may not be combined with any other discounts..

  • 2016 Malvasia Bianca Frizzante St. Helena - Napa Valley Betty’S Vineyard
    2016 Malvasia Bianca Frizzante St. Helena - Napa Valley Betty’s Vineyard Varietal Composition: Winemaking Notes: 100% Malvasia Bianca The inspiration for our frizzante style Malvasia Bianca is the great wines of the Moscato D’Asti region in Italy. We Appellation: pick the grapes to maintain the high natural acidity and St. Helena – Napa Valley low sugar to keep this wine light and refreshing. The Betty’s Vineyard fermentation is halted in the cellar between 6 and 7 Brix leaving the wine with a sweetness and complexity. The Harvest Date: wine is force carbonated at bottling giving the wine even Sept. 7th more lift on the palate and a nice compliment to the exotic aromatics of Malvasia Bianca. Harvest Brix: 21.0B Vineyard Notes: Barrel aging: Betty’s Vineyard is located adjacent to the winery, and this 100% Stainless Steel varietal was planted there much to our own delight and pleasure. It has become a place we congregate and discuss business during that short period of the year Finished Alcohol: where the fruit is hanging on the vine, and sugars and 9.5% acid come into balance. It is a most delicious grape that wouldn’t survive our nibbling if it didn’t make an even pH: more delicious wine. 2.82 Titratable acidity: Tasting Notes: 6.9 g/L Our 2016 Malvasia Bianca “Frizzante” has aromas of tangerine, lavender, and tropical fruits. This wine also has an intense tamarind and citrus zest quality to it. There is a slight effervescence to the palate and fair amount of sweetness, but the profile is light, airy and refreshing due to the vibrant acidity.
