- Dom Philippe Plantevin Cotes Du Rhone Rose 2012 Product #27136 (In Stock)

Just in time for warmer weather, here’s the first release of Philippe’s pink wine we’ve ever managed to get our hands on. Unusually for a rosé from this part of the Rhone valley, it’s 90% Mourvedre (made famous by Domaine Tempier and other Bandol estates) and just 10% Grenache. Lovely dark pink in color, the generous aromas feature bright cherry, passion fruit, and wild herb scents. Bright and zesty in the mouth, the flavors include wild strawberry, more passion fruit, ripe citrus, fresh herb and just a touch of earthy Mourvedre character. Pure and clean throughout, it finishes with mouthwatering flavors of watermelon, berry, and a dash of pink grapefruit and mineral. A great solo sipper and even better with fresh salads, smoked salmon, or anything with plenty of savory herb and garlic.
- Escudo De Plata Monestrell Jumilla Gran Reserva 2005 Product #26950 (In Stock)

Here's an old-school Monestrell that gives you a taste of what you'd have drunk in Jumilla before it got "discovered" (and tarted up) in the 1990s. After a whopping 48 months in American oak, there's no wood taste at all. Instead, ripe, layered, notes of red licorice, plum, and blood orange zest perfume your glass and linger on your palate. Old-fashioned, mature, but still full of fresh fruit, this is the kind of wine a rich friend would pull from their cellar and serve unexpected (but welcomed) guests. Smells like money. Spend some time with it.
- Mas D' Alezon Faugeres Montfalette 2011 Product #26416 (In Stock)

Powerful and elegant, this old-vine Mourvedre shows that great wine can indeed come out of France's less-heralded regions. The nose is powerfully fruity, with the scent of something leafy and herbal in the background. The palate explodes with deep, ripe blackberry fruit supported by gravelly minerality. We were shocked that all this could be packed into a wine that clocks in at only 12.5% ABV!
