Mineral & Zesty

From a new family (relatively speaking) in Chablis, the estate belongs to Marie-Noëlle & Laurent Ternynck.

This old vines Chardonnay saw 12 months in large oak barrels. The fruit is gathered from vineyards in Fleys and this area sits at a higher altitude on a windswept plateau, which helps maintain the acidity in the wine.  Fresh, floral and mineral on the nose. There are notes of fresh almond, hazelnut, citrus and white flowers on the palate. It is balanced and has a fresh finish.    

Keep it chilled in the fridge, uncork it at the end of the day and pour yourself a glass! Also pairs well with oysters, all kinds of fish dishes, and roasted chicken.

Floral & Structured

The Orci is made from Sangiovese macerated on the skins for three months and aged in terracotta amphorae. Get a taste of Tuscany: this red delivers floral notes of violet that intermingle with dark fruit aromas. On the palate, it has a medium bodied structure and soft tannins.

Enjoy this wine with red meats or iconic Italian dishes as 'bistecca alla fiorentina'.

Earthy & Fresh

Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer in Burgundy. He grew up in a family dedicated entirely to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's.

This entry-level red Burgundy comes from vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The vines range in age from 30 to 80 years and are farmed sustainably.  Think delicious smashed cherry skins, crunchy acidity and a fresh vibrant intensity. Beneath all the fresh red fruit there is a subtle earthiness and chalky tannins.  This old vines Burgundy has finesse and a real quaffable quality.

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is light enough to pair with salmon but complex enough to accompany duck confit. Try it with earthy-fatty meals like mushroom risotto, grilled trout or gnocchi with ricotta!

Today, the family owned and operated winery in the heart of Oregon's Ribbon Ridge AVA produces small lots of acclaimed Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay from its three estate vineyards.

Since the family lives on site, James and Andrea have been committed to farming in a manner that creates a healthy and diverse ecosystem. This includes preservation of the natural habitats that surround their vineyards, dry-farming, never using herbicides, never tilling, extensive composting, bee-friendly viticulture and hand-harvesting every cluster.

The Coast Range Estate Chardonnay shows lovely brightness on the nose, with flinty and petrol tones that combine with the citrus rind and sourdough accents. The freshness entices with bright Challah bread, lemon zest and hints of saline dusted roasted hazelnuts leading up to the long finish. Enjoy this fantastic bottling over the next decade.

Pair this wine with smoked salmon or Dungeness crab cakes or scallops with a Meyer lemon puree.
