Olivares de la Hoya Rosado Jumilla, Spain 2024 $13 - Old vine Garnacha from the sandy soils of Jumilla. Bright red fruit, cherry, strawberry and cranberry.
Cora 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Italy $13 - This is an excellent value, with notes of bitter cherry and spice on the nose. The wine is medium bodied and juicy, with just enough tannin on the finish to give it structure.
Champ Fleury Bordeaux, France 2020 $19 - Sourced from vineyards near Saint-Émilion, it offers a classic Right Bank expression with soft structure and ripe fruit. Cabernet Franc adds lift and subtle spice.
Bernabeleva 2023 Camino de Navaherreros Tinto, Spain $19 - One of my favorite expressions of Garnacha. This vintage is fresh and lithe, offering red fruit, mountain herbs, and a sense of place.
Lucien Lardy Beaujolais Vieille Vignes, France 2022 $20 - Lardy makes some of the most interesting Gamay in my opinion.
