2022 Hitching Post “Gen Red” Central Coast, CA – Valdiguie is being rediscovered across California, and fresh bottlings like this reveal why.

2022 La Chertosa Reserve Sangiovese, Sonoma Valley – Sonoma Valley stalwart Sam Sebastiani returns to the winemaking fold with this small-production Sangiovese. A juicy study in robust, powerful tannins with notes of blackberry and currants, with subtle notes of toasted oak and spice. Blended with 8% Petite Sirah and 4% Malbec, it spent a year in older French oak barrels and is a delicious California version of the Italian classic. $29.00
