(5/2019) Looking to see what Sancerre is all about? Look no further! This fine example from Francois Crochet is bright and racy with delicious fruit flavors of citrus, pear, and peach backed up by an array of fresh garden herbs.

A Tribute to Grace Santa Barbara County Grenache Rose 2018
This new release of A Tribute to Grace Rose is like spring in a glass!
92
Our Score
(4/2019) Grenache virtuoso Angela Osborne biodynamically farms a single parcel of Grenache vines in the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard that is used exclusively for her annual bottling of Rose. Her passion for Grenache comes through in all of her wines and this fresh release of Rose is a beautiful and expressive example that can easily pass for a top-tier classic from Provence. The wine is vibrant and full of life with a smooth and round texture that caresses the palate. Deep and complex flavors of strawberry, honeydew melon, peach and cherry skin are met with notes of honeysuckle, fresh cut flowers, white pepper and refreshing minerality. This full-bodied effort is best enjoyed today with a plate of grilled Mediterranean-style cuisine, and be sure to stash a few bottles of this gem away for next year's Rosé season because it will age, you know... Grace-fully!

Frantz Saumon "Le Cave De Rebiffe" Pet Nat Rose 2018
90+
Our Score
(5/2019) Organic and biodynamic from day one, Frantz Saumon has been making wine in Montlouis-sur-Loire since the early 2000s and is considered one of the finest producers of "pet nats" in all of France. Produced from mainly Gamay and Grolleau, this sparkling pink beauty is loaded with fresh strawberry and tart cherry. The wine's persistent bubbles and mouthwatering acidity make it too easy to drink, especially outside on a warm evening. There is enough character here to ponder, or simply skip all that and just chug it. Time to pack up the cooler and get to a park with this new little friend!

(3/2019) From Cahors' natural winemaking star Fabien Jouves, this lovely blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Chardonnay and Semillon is superlatively expressive and refreshing.
