Beaujolais as you've never experienced it. Lot 852 is a serious, age-worthy expression from the Morgon Cru — a world away from the easy, gulpable Nouveau style the region is famous for. It pours a deep, translucent ruby and immediately opens up with a beautiful, complex nose of fresh cherry and ripe raspberry laced with earthy, loamy depth and a dusting of warm spice. On the palate, medium-plus acidity and silky, perfectly integrated tannins frame a finish that is dry, elegant, and resonant with terroir.

Morgon sits on the western bank of the Saône River, where granite and blue stone soils coax out a firmer, more structured side of Gamay that rewards patience and discernment. This is the Cru Beaujolais that converts skeptics — pour a glass for anyone who thinks Beaujolais is simple, and watch the conversation change. Cellar a few bottles and revisit in two or three years, or open it now alongside roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a rustic charcuterie board. Either way, you win.

Rich and layered, this full-bodied red blend delivers a bold yet balanced style.

Everything you'd ever want in a cool climate expression of Pinot Noir from the Sonoma County side of Carneros, with lots of tension and mouthwatering acidity. The aromatic intensity ushers in a bright frame of fruit, calling to mind cherries, cranberries, and raspberries. violet florals and earthy forest floor notes add intrigue. On the palate, those aromatics present tart, tense red berry fruits, and the wine is terrifically racy, with supple tannins that are present but not overpowering, rather bringing beautiful balance to the acid tension. Subtle oak notes in the wine add a frame to the fruit with terrific integration.

This red blend from Washington State’s Columbia Valley showcases a unique, record-setting vintage for the region. 2021 absolutely shattered temperature records in eastern Washington, with a historic heat dome settling over the area. For an average wine-growing region, this would have been potentially disastrous. But because of the incredible vineyard management talent and overall health of the vines in Columbia Valley in general, the source vineyards for Lot 906 weathered the heat like champions, producing high-quality, intensely flavored, power-packed fruit (particularly for the region’s red wine varieties).

Berry sizes were significantly smaller, translating into grapes with an incredible concentration of flavor and fantastic structure (thanks to a higher than normal skin-to-pulp ratio, meaning more tannins to go along with all of that ample dark fruit action). The catch? Yields were way, way down, and much less red wine was made in 2021 as a result.
