2020 Gustav Gruner Veltliner
100% Gruner Veltliner
Austria > Niederosterreich-Lower Austria > Niederosterreich

If sushi's being served we are always quick to recommend a fruity and flinty Gruner Veltliner. The 2020 Gustav Gruner Veltliner is a go-to, high value wine that has lively fruit and acidity to go with its mineral-strong backbone. The sum of its parts adds up to an excellent food friendly sushi wine. Cheers!

Kawatsuru Crane Of Paradise Junmai Sake
Japan > Shikoku > Kagawa

$36 ryebrookwines.com
Textured and mineral-driven with defined fruit notes of banana and melon rind. Pretty aromas and a crisp, energetic finish resulting in a rich, deeply satisfying style. Described as "umakuchi," a combination between sweet, dry, and umami flavors. Refreshing while still layered and composed. So good. There are some obvious pairings like sushi and sashimi, but try this gorgeous sake with pizza or smoked salmon with cream cheese for an out of this world tasting experience.

Rihaku Wandering Poet Junmai Ginjo
Japan > Chugoku > Shimane

$30 ryebrookwines.com
With broad appeal and a memorable, sturdy flavor, this sake has the ability to complement even the most wine-unfriendly vegetables. This Junmai Ginjo is made with Yamada Nishiki rice, known as the pinnacle of quality for sake rice. It is named after the famous Chinese poet, Li Po, who was said to drink a bottle of sake and write one hundred poems. Notes of banana and ripe honeydew with a clean, crisp acidity that highlights its light-to-medium body. The lingering finish moves from juicy fruitiness to green, herbal notes making it a great food companion. Pairs well with many vegetables like asparagus, artichoke hearts, broccoli rabe, green salad, as well as a broad array of sushi and sashimi.

08/01/2022

Sushi hits just right when summer's in full swing, so this week we're highlighting 3 excellent choices to pair with your favorite sashimi and handrolls.

2019 Turning Tide Sojeau Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
100%
Oregon > Willamette Valley > Eola-Amity Hills

$40 ryebrookwines
Deliciously Willamette, the 2019 Turning Tide Sojeau Vineyard Pinot Noir (from Eola-Amity Hills) delivers peak terroir - fresh dark cherry, cedar, spice, and that hallmark cola backend on the finish. It's a medium-bodied beauty that could stand a little cellaring - maybe another year to three - or some air to open up an really sing. If you're a fan of Oregon Pinots, this is a bottle worth seeking.

89 points
"A chewy, tannic wine, this carries the name of a well-respected vineyard and is a good expression of the earthy, herbal style of many Pinots from this AVA. Strong flavors of black cherry, vanilla and cola run straight through the palate."

07/26/2022

2021 O**m 'Big Salt'
50% Riesling, 30% Gewürztraminer + Muscat, Pinot Blanc and a few others
United States > Oregon

An blend of aromatic white grapes grown throughout Oregon’s wine growing regions, the 2021 O**m “Big Salt” is an easy drinking, quaffable, and ever-so enjoyable bottle that tastes like summer in the Pacific Northwest.
O**m is a project from John House and his wife in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. There is grit and saltiness in the wine, along with floral, honeysuckle and tropical fruit notes balanced by chalky texture and minerality. Aromatic but not sweet. A supremely satisfying sipper, and excellent food wine – at an everyday price point. The perfect spring through summer, all-day drinking white wine.

07/25/2022

Our selection continues this week with a few wines that punch well above their pricetag. If you're looking for a phenomenal, food friendly bottle, look no further than these three. Tasting notes shared all week, so stay tuned!

2021 Stolpman So Fresh "G.G.T." - Grenache, Gamay, Trousseau
76% Grenache, 12% Gamay, 12% Trousseau
California > Santa Barbara County > Ballard Canyon

Just an absolute banger of a wine. Serve chilled for perfect effect and pair with just about anything from pizza to tacos al pastor to grilled tofu.
Tasting notes from the winery: “Cherry Cherry Cherry - spanning from hard candy to bright Rainier - into bright Pomegranate. Savory Trousseau tea leaves back the pure red fruit and Gamay lends depth and crunch. A citrus spray layer of energy rides above the fruit profile and bonds the three varietals under its high-toned webbing. Youthful tartness and a tannin back-board structure the wine to create something more serious than just a delicious day-time masher.”

2020 Gini Soave Classico Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne
100% Garganega
Italy > Veneto > Soave > Soave Classico

$30 ryebrookwines
"The 2020 Gini Soave Classico Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne has that 'pure wow' effect sure to impress wine aficionado and novice alike. Elegantly structured, the palate has depth and complexity delivering apricot, ripe pear, peaches, and a gorgeous streak of minerality on the back half. Big, smooth, rounded, the body is what really over delivers in this bottling, making a solid candidate for aging ... if you can keep your hands off. We'd suggest buying a couple and aging and sampling over the next decade. Love this juice..."

2020 LaOsa Trasto Prieto Picudo
100% Prieto Picudo
Spain > Castilla y León

The 2020 LaOsa Trasto Prieto Picudo is a grippy wine, with an expressive profile and presence. The nose is floral and fruity, while the palate presents firm tannins, dark fruits, and something with a little extra zing to really liven the mouth. We tasted this wine with a friend from León and he commented that the wine had transported him back to the region - it was the taste of home. If you're looking for a genuine taste of Northwest Spain, we've got the wine to try.

07/13/2022

2021 La Osa Trasto Rosado
100% Prieto Picudo
Spain > Leon

A ripe Rosado of the local Leon grape varietal, Prieto Picudo, this is a rosado for fans of bright acidity, medium heft, and complexity on the close. Noelia de Paz, the Queen of Albarin, makes delicious reds from Prieto Picudo too, but this light pink drink is so much fun. Fragrant and lacy aromas of ripe strawberry and spice lead a palate comprising strawberry, watermelon and cherry. Super versatile and completely compelling, enjoy this rosado now as an aperitif or with charcuterie.

07/12/2022

2020 La Osa Trasto Blanco 'Albarin'
100% Albarin
Spain > Tierra de Leon

Noelia de Paz sure loves her some indigenous grapes of Tierra de Leon. Old is new again in this sweetly floral nosed, sunshine-in-a-glass bottling of the used albarín grape. There are qualities of Chenin, Semillon, and even Riesling found in each sip, making the wine wholly unique on to itself, not unlike it’s up-and-coming winemaker. White wine enthusiasts, stock up for the summer!

07/11/2022

This week we're headed to León, Spain to take a closer look at Noelia de Paz and her fast rising LaOsa Vinos, where she's focused on organic, dry farmed, and under-served varietals like Prieto Picudo (Tinto) and Albarín (Blanco). Stay tuned all week to learn more about each of these fantastically unique wines.

2020 Echeverria "Es Cuiko" Chardonnay

Chile > Curicó Valley

First, a fun fact: "es cuiko" is slang for "it's posh," meaning this Chardonnay has seen some oak to provide a heftier body and a little more complexity than their other lines. Anyway, to the listing...
We can't think of a better wine for an outdoor BBQ to ring-in the Fourth of July. The 2020 Echeverria "Es Cuiko" Chardonnay is a natural, vegan wine out of Chile that's pale yellow and slightly cloudy in appearance due to its lack of processing. On the nose, there are strong aromas of banana, apple, and pear, blended with toasted brioche. In the mouth, it is full bodied and rich, with a creamy, refreshing, and fruity acidity. Vibrant, expressive, and very easy drinking, this wine is best enjoyed now. Like, right now...

06/29/2022

2020 Mayu Pedro Ximenez
100%
Chile > Elqui Valley

So easy going, simple and crisp like a July afternoon, the 2020 Mayu Pedro Ximenez is a stylish white wine that offers appealing floral and fruit aromas, with flavors balanced by fresh acidity, minerality and a long finish. It is best served with a range of foods, especially shellfish and other seafood. We’d also recommend serving this unique wine with friends, a dock or patio, and a carefree afternoon.

90 points
“ The austere and serious 2020 Pedro Ximenez has moderate alcohol and mellow acidity, with a clean palate that is medium-bodied and reveals focused and precise flavors. It was bottled unoaked after four months with lees.”

06/28/2022

2021 J Bouchon Pais Salvaje
Blanco
Chile > Maule Valley

This long, holiday weekend, we’re reaching for some bright, linear wines to pair with oysters, clams, and grilled seafood. The 2021 J Bouchon Pais Salvaje ticks all those boxes. This extremely unique and singular Chilean wine hails from the dry Maule Valley and is made of Pais Blanco - white berries of Pais, a traditionally red grape, that were found intermingled amongst the wild vines of red berries. Grown organically, fermented with wild yeasts, aged in clay amphora, and bottled unfiltered, this is a gorgeous example of natural wine that shows racy flavors of granny smith apple, bartlett pear, grapefruit and meyer lemon, backed by a lovely saline minerality.

93 points
“This is a mutation in the chromatic aspect of the listan prieto variety, known in Chile as país, and mixed in Bouchon's wild vineyards in Mingre—with vines so wild that they climb trees and require ladders to harvest them. This wine is fermented in clay amphorae and then bottled unfiltered. In a very cold year like 2021, the wine's acidity is like a saber in the mouth, slicing the palate with that sensation of citrusy freshness. It has a very good body—it's dense but determined by the acidity that’s the backbone here. Think of a dish with oysters.”

06/27/2022

The Fourth of July weekend is fast approaching and we've got a selection of fine summer sippers to help ring in our Independence. Stay tuned all week for tasting notes, reviews, and more. 🎇

2015 Château des Laurets Puisseguin Saint-Emilion
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
France > Bordeaux > Saint-Emilion

What's better than a Bordeaux with a little bottle age? The 2015 Château des Laurets Puisseguin Saint-Emilion starts in glass with deep, very clear, ruby-red color. Showing tremendous balance and freshness, the nose displays intense aromatic complexity with spicy nuances followed by hints of vanilla and red fruit - cherry and fresh strawberries specifically. The wine reveals subtle, well-integrated oak on the palate, along with exquisite elegance and great length with refined tannin. The black fruit flavors are remarkably fresh.

91 points .suckling
"A red with pretty berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium body, tight and dense fruit and polished and nicely chewy tannins. A minerally undertone. Drink or hold."

89 points
"This dense wine is packed with firm tannins and concentrated fruit. A blend of ripe Merlot and perfumed Cabernet Franc, it has weight, with layers of black-plum skin flavors and dark tannins. With its firm dry core, it is still young. Drink from 2021."

06/22/2022

2015 Familia Torres Altos Ibericos Reserva

Spain > Rioja

Despite its full-body profile, the 2015 Familia Torres Altos Ibericos Reserva is a welcomed summer red wine to burger night - or anything off the grill. A perennial 90+ pointer for about $20, this Tempranillo is our go-to for dinner parties or quiet nights at home. Very opaque, garnet red color leads to intense aromas of fresh forest berries with seductive notes reminiscent of dried figs, and toasted nuances like roasted mocha coffee. Vibrant and flavorful on the palate, well-structured and remarkably persistent all the way through to an excellent finish.

92 points .suckling
"A savory, earthy nose of dark plums, figs, olives, walnuts and mushrooms. Full body with chewy tannins. Fleshy texture. Vibrant, flavorful finish. Drink or hold."

2019 Val di Suga Rosso di Montalcino
Sangiovese
Italy > Tuscany > Montalcino

$24 ryebrookwines (2016 vintage)
An ideal partner for an al fresco pizza night, the 2019 Val di Suga Rosso di Montalcino is a smooth, rounded Sangiovese that drinks effortlessly while providing the varietal characteristics that make Montalcino a world-class wine region. In the glass, the bright ruby red color of local Sangiovese wines is visible. With a lively nose, it expresses the freshness of red berry fruit such as cherry and black currant, followed by sweet and spicy nuances. In the mouth it is full and soft, initially opening up with very ripe red fruit flavors. Elegant tannins are present and the wine finishes long in the mouth.

90 points (2018 vintage)
"The Val di Suga 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant and fun red to pull out for your next veal or vegetarian lasagna. The wine is teeming with bright berry fruit with wild raspberry and cherry. Showing balanced acidity and a snappy, lean-bodied style, this is textbook Rosso. There is a note of candied cherry and sweet spice on the close. This vintage marks significant improvements since I last visited this wine."

06/20/2022

2017 Hestan Vineyards Meyer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

California > Napa

$64 ryebrookwines
A stunning Napa Cab from lauded winemaker Thomas River Brown, the 2017 Hestan Vineyards Meyer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is our top pick for any celebration. In the glass the wine displays a nearly opaque purple-ruby hue. Aromas suggest tart red fruit, clove, vanilla husk and an exotic spice component. Palate notes are decidedly bramble-focused, with lingering aromatic wood and purple flowers. The tannins are firm but even and provide a nice black tea component, both in mouth feel and flavor. The finish is very light and clean, thanks to a refreshing acid framework. This wine will show best after a few hours in the decanter or 3-5 years in the cellar.

95 points
"Strikingly complex and detailed, with supple, harmonious blackberry, currant, anise, licorice and crushed rock flavors. Gains depth while holding focus and persistence. Drink now through 2032"

2020 Lieu Dit Santa Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Franc 2020

California > Santa Ynez Valley

Lieu Dit is a partnership between longtime friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett. After countless bottles shared together and many trips to France, Railsback and Willett decided to found Lieu Dit in 2011 and focus solely on the varieties indigenous to the Loire Valley - now grown in Santa Barbara County. The varied micro-climates and marine based soils of Santa Barbara County are ideally suited to this set of grapes. Lieu Dit centers on Sauvignon Blanc and more limited bottlings of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Rosé producing 2500 cases annually. Each vintage is a quest for purity, elegance, and balance in every wine, with their 2020 Cabernet Franc as an excellent example of their philosophical approach. It’s fruit-driven for a Cab Franc, with soft flint and a touch of spice adding to a layered attack. Low tannic structure and very rounded shoulders makes this bottle very approachable now and quite enjoyable.

94 points
“The 2020 Cabernet Franc is brilliant and beautifully focused. Dazzling red cherry, mint and rose petal. Tasted next to the Cabernet Franc Sans Soufre, this has more focus and brightness. Heat spikes in 2020 seem to have dialed up the fruit and baked out some of the more vegetal Franc notes, but there is still tons of varietal character.”

2017 Behrens Family Winery Spare Me Cabernet Sauvignon
, Merlot, Petit Verdot
California > Napa Valley

$84 ryebrookwines.com
Smooth. Rich. Delicious. What a fantastic Napa Cab from the Behrens Family boutique winery - a small, family owned winery that produces small lots of six or seven wines a year. Hard to find, their collection attracts cult wine followers and avid Napa fans alike. Each of their wines are produced as a labor of love, hand punched with minimal intervention and filtration, and crafted through an artesian’s approach. The 2017 Spare Me Cabernet Sauvignon delivers layers of deep, dark fruit and bacon fat that lead to the ripe, polished palate infused with blackberry, plum, and cocoa. The cherry and baking spice finish lingers long, really completing the wine. With 5 years of bottle age, the wine is ready to pair with anything off the grill - or has got the structure to cellar for another 5-10 years. Phenomenal.

Visually clear, bright, lively garnet red. Bouquet has hints of undergrowth, aromatic wood, small fruits (blackberry, currant, cherry), light vanilla and composite jam.

Lots of chocolate. It's full-bodied with good depth and intensity. Firm but ripe tannins. Chocolate and cherries on the finish." 89 points @jebdunnuck "Cantina di Montalcino is a co-operative which sources from all areas of the Montalcino region. The 2016 Brunello, which was aged for two years in French and Slavonian oak barrels, offers aromatics of black plum compote, smoke, vanilla, violets, and tar. The palate is full-bodied and mouth-coating with blackberry jam, leather, and cocoa. It has richness and depth, with an approachable modern feel."

#MariettaCellars Week 🍷 This week we're celebrating Marietta Cellars by offering great deals on their 90+ line up of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and red blends. Marietta Cellars is located just outside the little town of Geyserville in one of California's premier wine growing regions, Sonoma County. Owner and winemaker Chris Bilbro initially founded Marietta Cellars in 1979 in an abandoned cow barn. Over the last twenty-two years, Chris has developed a product of incredible consistency both in quality and price evidenced by the high scores and low prices. The grapes are primarily from Sonoma and Mendocino County and grown in older, dry-farmed vineyards with limited production per acre. These are grapes that produce wines with the maximum concentration of fruit and complex flavors.

We're keeping Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolais week going with this beauty: 2015 Fleurie Clos des Quatre Vents is a well crafted Gamay. Deep, dark cherries dominate the nose and flavor profile, along with blueberries, a hint of vanilla, and touch of spice. What really stands out is the weight ... it's a dense wine with broad shoulders drinking nicely now, but capable of mid-to-long aging. If you're popping one open now, but sure to give it a good swirl ...
