Recent Special Wines

Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc, Chateau du Hureau (Loire Valley)
excellent structure, balance and length, tannic but not overwhelming with enough air, generous fruit, needs to breathe and to be served slightly chilled (60 F)

Tarima Hills Monastrell, aka Mourvedre (Alicante region, Spain)
A big, powerful red with a very long finish, high ABV and medium tannins, from rocky soil and arid conditions, needs to breathe, very layered and rich; enjoyable
