Dusty ruby color. Aromas of wild blackberry, wintergreen, milk chocolate, and sap with a satiny, vibrant, light-to-medium body and a compelling, medium-length cafe au lait, tapenade, slate, candied tomato, and burlap finish with light oak flavor. A youthful, fruity red that will pair effortlessly.

2016 Albarino
Straw green color. Funky aromas of stewed pineapple, struck match, mandarin skin, pear soufflé, and baby powder with a satiny, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, breezy margarine, crab apple, white tea, magnolia, and melon finish. Aerate this Albariño before enjoying to reveal its underlying fruit.

NV Brut Cava DO
Golden straw color. Aromas of vanilla fondant, honey, lumber, and rubber with a round, finely carbonated, fruity medium body and a tingling, medium-length honeycrisp apple skins, orange peel, fallen peach, sea salt, and straw finish with a suggestion of oak flavor. A potent cava that will surely make a statement at your next celebration.
