Red Wine

This project is a collaboration between two industry vets, and legendary winemaker Elisabetta Foradori, and reflects their collective love of dark rosés. Luscious stewed strawberry and iron minerality on the palate, with fresh acidity and excellent textur

Red fruit, earth, and a hint of cola evolve into some granite and garrigue on the finish. A lighter-bodied “wine of thirst”, as the French say, but still structured enough to be a great food wine. Emilie and Brice Bolognini were barely 20 years old when t

Partial whole cluster keeps this Gamay structured and complex, with crunchy minerals and an array of dark fruits. Winemaker Bertjan, originally from the Netherlands, was the first person to import natural wines to his home country. He then went all in and

Gorgeously earthy, with the unruly dark fruit associated with Sumoll, but pulled together in a balancing act of acidity, tannin, and purity. We love Clos Lentiscus here at the shop; in fact, we singled out this bottle as a favorite of the Litrona lineup b

From the Northern Rhône comes this tiny production VDF with classic notes of tar, green herbs, underripe cherry and stony earth. The tannins are in balance but bolstered by a high acidity. Jean-Francois Malsert began his career as a wine bar owner, transi

Brambly, deep, and textured, with fleshy plum fruit and complex spice. The namesake donkeys of the estate are very skilled at doing a “pre-prune”: eating some vine shoots along with herbs that grow between the rows. This biodiverse ethos permeates everyth

Despite coming from Languedoc, this Syrah shows classic Rhône notes of earth, red fruit, and garrigue. The wine only improves with time open; give it a decant if you can. Maceration is partially whole cluster, but some de-stemming maintains freshness and

La Kiuva is a co-op in alpine Italy made up of 60 farmers. Almost all of them farm organically and all of them are overseen by the co-op’s agronomist to insure high standards of agriculture. The cool climate makes this a much more delicate and elegant exp

Refosco is a unique grape indigenous to northeastern Italy and western Slovenia that shows deep earthy granite and minerality. The Štoka estate is located in Kras, which is an extension of Carso in Italy. The two regions combine to make the first cross-bo

There’s a cadre of rabbits that love the grapes found in this vineyard, resulting in low yields at harvest. But this is a good thing; the lower the yields the higher the quality of the wine. Carbonic maceration keeps things fresh and moving along, with br

This is a lovely expression of Cab Franc, with characteristic berry and pepper notes, but with a lighter, livelier body thanks to a shorter skin maceration. Think Cru Beaujolais. Engel Auf Erden translates to “Angel On Earth”, presumably a reference to ho

Juicy ripe red fruits and elegant texture. Shaunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig make two lines of wine: Les Lunes (more classic and rustic) and Populis, where the focus is easy drinking, yummy wines. They purchase fruit from historic sites around Mendocino, a
