Rioja
 
Your Three-Day, Region-Wide Sale Starts Now
 

Rioja, Spain’s most renowned wine region, offers bold and nuanced wines based on Tempranillo and Garnacha. Wineries are well-known for their long love-affair with French and American oak barriques, which impart signature accents to these deeply impressive reds.
 
There’s plenty of options to choose from amongst our in-stock selections, from budget-friendly to cellar star. We offer releases from some of the region’s oldest producers, including Remelluri (founded in the 14^th century), and most notable producers, such as Lopez de Heredia. You’ll find wineries with cult and popular followings, such as Marques de Murrieta and La Rioja Alta. Here too are picks from long-time favorites at the shop, such as CVNE/CUNE and Muga, and new and exciting pairings such as Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia’s Macán.

As the third-generation in his family to make wine, Jim Maresh knows a thing or two about crafting Grand Cru-level Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. From the Arterberry Maresh’s prized position in the Dundee Hills, he releases what critics praise as “are some of the most impressive wines I’ve tried anywhere—not just in the US”, per Erin Brooks of the Wine Advocate.
 
Tan Fruit is Jim’s experimental Chardonnay side project. Now, you could assume that the wines are throwaway gags not meant to see the light of day, but leave it to Jim to make his side project a points-sweeping EVENT. Wine Advocate gushed over the first releases from 2019, granting the wines top marks for Oregon whites in the vintage.

Clos Mogador & Espectacle:

Glorious Garnatxa Sale

René Barbier can be credited with bringing Priorat out of obscurity. In 1979, he founded a small estate winery on 20 hectares. He carved terraces into the steep hillsides and planted Garnatxa alongside some French varieties into the unique llicorella soil found in the region. He waited a decade to release his first wine, which was a blend with nine other area producers. Today, the flagship red shares its name with the estate, Clos Mogador.
 
Barbier describes himself on the winery’s website as “obsessed by the expression ‘terroir’.” He lives and breathes the vineyard, and is nourished by its biodiverse flora of fruit trees, olives, and herbs. His obsession was rewarded when the flagship wine was the first Catalonian wine to achieve “Vi de Finca” status, certifying it as a single-vineyard estate-bottled wine from a notable site with at least five years of production.
