Herdade Do Rocim Alicante Bouschet 2014
Alentejano, Portugal
$21.99 / each
Description:
This organically grown bottling is made of the grape Alicante Bouschet, which found its home in the Alentejo region of Portugal in the 1890s. Taut and sleek, this foot-trodden wine boasts a gorgeous purple hue and shows a luscious palate full of crushed blackberries and black raspberries. This is zippy, vibrant, mouth-watering stuff that was bottled unfined and unfiltered by Herdade Do Rocim, one of Alentejo's top producers of natural wine.
Pairs Well With:
Sheldon Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Sonoma Valley, California
$21.99 / each
Description:
Sourced from D'Allaird Vineyard in Sonoma, this tiny-production, 100% Cabernet bottling is vibrant, elegant and incredibly fresh. This is a decidedly feminine expression of Cabernet, favoring low alcohol, pretty rose petal aromas and zesty bing cherry fruit over power, density and over-extraction. One of the most surprising, most delicious, most delicate Cabernets you'll meet. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this was aged in neutral French oak and only 225 cases were produced in total.
