David Schildknecht once described the Loire as the “bargain garden of France” in a Wine Advocate article.  We tend to agree with him—it seems as though everywhere we look along the lengthy river we find wines that are excellent deals.  We don’t just mean at the low end of the market either, as some of the most expensive wines from the Loire are often incredible value compared to their peers.

From Goodfellow Family Cellars
Marcus Goodfellow is one of the premier winemakers in Oregon.  He founded Matello wines, his original label, in 2002 and hasn’t looked back since, making wines that have continually improved—both in bottle and from vintage to vintage.  These are profound wines, both white and red, that are made in a style that’s distinctly savory—no fruit bombs here.  Rather, we love them for their coiled power and Burgundian structure.  These are wines that speak with an Oregon voice, but the tannin and acidity comes from an old-world point of view.

Diamond Creek Flash Sale!

December Case Sale Spectacular

Trending Wines of the Week

A Vertical of Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Diamond Creek Flash Sale
Diamond Creek invented much of what we think of as pillars of cult California Cabernet.  The single vineyard bottlings, the exclusive mailing list and the high price tags all seemed to spring from this tiny estate on the hillsides of Diamond Mountain.  The wines are as iconic as ever—monuments to the greatness of their Napa terroir.

Stylistically, these are powerful Cabernets.  Although there are distinct differences between the three vineyards, the wines show a common vein of Diamond Mountain ruggedness—an intensity of flavor and minerality that’s unique to the AVA.  Diamond Creek manages to harness it to produce wines that dazzle with their complexity and age worthiness; wines that rival the finest in Bordeaux.
