Wine: Chateauneuf du Pape
Results
Handley Pinot Noir Mendocino
Mendocino County used to be known for a more underground form of agriculture, but the Anderson Valley is now known as a sweet spot for Pinot Noir. Milla Handley has been making lovely wines there for 20 years, and her Mendocino Pinot is a great example. Aromas of rose petals, hibiscus, cherry blossom, and exotic spices, while the palate comes through with good texture, intense dark cherry and a silky finish.
Domaine Monpertuis Chateauneuf du Pape
A great, balanced, delicious Chateauneuf which is drinking surprisingly well right now. Rich red fruits, a hint of minerality and a touch of dried herbs. Another great wine from our friends at Rosenthal.
Domaine Monpertuis Chateauneuf du Pape
A great, balanced, delicious Chateauneuf which is in its prime. Rich red fruits, a hint of minerality and a touch of dried herbs, all knit together with secondary elements of earth and game. This wine says holiday dinner party!
