Big, Powerful, Opulent and Undervalued

The 2015 Cristia Chateauneufs
Looking for big, rich, opulent Chateauneuf du Pape?  Look no further than Domaine Cristia, especially in 2015.  The estate is known for powerful wines made from ancient vines in a style that renders them drinkable young but capable of aging for a long time, as well.  We’re head over heels for the 2015’s, and so is the Wine Spectator, who bestowed some impressive reviews on the two wines that we have in stock now.

Wine Advocate 96 points “The Upper Terrace Vineyard was planted in 2000. Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace has a classic nose of warm red cherries and cranberries, sliced blueberries and strawberry jam with notes of cola, cardamom, oolong tea leaves and blue flowers—the nose gives up changing earth, fruit and savory layers every time I go back for another smell.

They own some of the greatest vineyards in the Loire and make sure that they reach their potential year in and out.

El Enemigo

A Powerful New Voice in Argentina
What if we told you that the longtime winemaker for Catena had his own project?  That he wanted to push the limits of what was possible for Argentine wine? That somehow, despite this, the wines remain under the radar and undervalued?  If you’re searching for the pinnacle of South American wine, look no further—these are the wines you need to be buying next.

Alejandro Vigil is the winemaker for El Enemigo, his winery named for the struggle against complacency, and was the winemaker at Catena for 17 years.
