Sage Selection Bag December 2022

Côté Mas Crémant de Limoux  (Regular Bag)
France

After primary fermentation, the “Liqueur de Tirage,” a blend of sugar and yeast, is added to the juice a few hours before bottling.

After one year of ageing, the lees are expelled and the “Liqueur de Dosage” is added and aged an additional twelve months

An intense and refined nose of honey, acacia and crystallized lemon lead way to a harmonious palate of citrus fruits and balanced acidity. An excellent aperitif that pairs well with all styles of cuisine.

Charles & Charles Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (Regular Bag) NEW
Washington

The Cabernet Sauvignon was de-stemmed and then fermented with native yeast, followed by the wine being on its skins for 35 days (fermentation being about half that time). We had access to some beautiful Goose Mountain Syrah that we thought would add complexity and spice. We fermented the Syrah with native yeast and whole cluster and blended it together with the Cabernet Sauvignon right before we blended and moved all the wine to old barrels. In the barrels, we were looking to soften and concentrate, not to add toast and vanilla thus the choice of used neutral barrels. The resulting wine has intense black currant, espresso, black olive, and dusty herbs with broad shouldered structure.


L.A. Cetto Petite Sirah 2018
Mexico

100% Petite Sirah
