The 94 Point Clos Sainte Magdeleine Rosé

We get into the mood for rosé at the first sign of spring (which is usually the release of Ameztoi Rubentis).  We’re getting the superlative Clos Sainte Magdeleine rosé in next Friday and we couldn’t be more excited.

If you’ve been to Cassis, you know the vineyard—a peninsula of vines that juts out into the bay of Cassis.

Wine Spectator 93 points
“Bright and pure, with delightful pear, green almond and green plum notes laced with a fennel streak, ending with finely beaded acidity and a mineral echo through the finish.

A Few Oregon Classics

St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2014 750ML ($37.95) $29 special
Grapelive 94 points “Mark Vlossak’s brilliant 2014 Freedom Hill Pinot is bursting with minty rose oil, Bing cherry and mineral tones. This bright and gripping wine is absolutely everything you’d want from an Oregon Pinot. In fact it’s very Volnay like in the glass with racy fruits, earth, spice and intense detail.

From Mo Ayoub

The 2016’s from Mo Ayoub have landed here at Vinopolis—an exciting event for one of the new-benchmark wineries in the Willamette Valley.  Ayoub has established itself as a go-to for customers looking for big, rich, silky Pinot Noir.  These are full throttle wines, as Oregon Pinot goes, and their small quantities mean that they have become coveted bottles to have in the cellar.  Mo is very excited about the 2016’s—a vintage that is deservedly gaining a lot of buzz here in Oregon.

New Arrivals in White

From de Montille

Domaine de Montille may be best known for their reds, but they’ve quietly been making some incredible whites from some of the best vineyards in the Cote d’Or.  These are wines that have the minerality that you’d expect from the storied domaine.  We just got a bunch of the reds in, as well, (just see the weekend newsletter) but wanted to highlight these new arrivals that tend to fly under the radar.

Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Blanc 2015 750ML ($49.95) $39 special

Domaine de Montille Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune 2015 750ML ($249.95) $199 special
Stephen Tanzer 93 points “Medium yellow.
