In Vino Veritas! Dirk

2023 Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand – By ‘turning the volume down’ from the typical style of Marlborough, you can taste the Meyer lemon, ripe pear and salty mineral flavors. It’s a very rare creation  with a three month wild ferment, malolactic and being raised in 35 year old puncheons means the fruit isn’t high-toned and the acids aren’t shouting. True to its origins but with nuance, drinkability and flow. $21.00

2022 Domaine de Pallus “Messanges” Rouge Chinon, Loire Valley, France – “Messanges” takes its name from the historic name for Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley. Notes of wild strawberry, cranberry, and black cherry are balanced with nuances of sage and fresh tobacco with fine-grained tannins on the palate. Pair it with charcuterie, a pepper-steak stir-fry, or spinach and bacon quiche. $20.00

2023 Pullus “Halozan” Red, Štajerska, Slovenia – This blend of Blaufränkisch, Gamay, and Zweigelt is juicy and bright, packed with cherry, dark forest berries and a touch of middle eastern spices. It has elegant medium body, bright red fruit acidity, smooth mouthfeel and gentle tannins. $16.00

2024 Moulin De Gassac “Guilhem” Rosé, Languedoc, France – A blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Carignan and 20% Cinsault, this rose is airy and breezy, with the grace that makes it a real charmer. This pale-colored, beautifully textured Rosé is impeccable in its balance. Pretty floral and strawberry notes fill out the mid-palate effortlessly. $13.00
