Our Côtes du Rhône reds and rosés make up about 20% of our total output, so we deliberately downgrade 15% of our noble terroirs to produce our Côtes du...

DOMAINE FICHET: Olivier Fichet stands almost alone in the town of Igé. He is one of the only three producers in the village; the other two are the town’s cooperative and one other winemaker that simply bottles for local consumption.

In their youth, Olivier and his brother, Pierre-Yves, worked side-by-side with their father; tending to the vines...

The vineyard:The rugged terrain of the Côte Vermeille is schistous rock covered by a thick layer of soil In this Mediterranean climate, the vine must develop a powerful root system to extract the water and nutrients it needs.

The layout of the vineyard hanging from the steep slopes is dominated by low dry-stone walls that draw horizontal terraces in the...

Growing Season: Overall, 2019 was a mild growing season with a later start to the summer. This seasonal shift led to a longer hang time, which allowed for even ripening and full berry development, while retaining natural acidity. Harvest started about one week later than average compared to the last handful of vintages, and the mild growing conditions led to a very long season — fruit was being harvested for nearly 70 days! This extended season allowed us to pick each vineyard block at an...

VINTAGE NOTES: The 2017 growing season began with abundant winter rains, followed by a warm, dry spring that led to a perfectly timed budbreak. In addition to replenishing the water table, the early season rains produced robust canopies, which provided invaluable shade during a week-long heat event that kicked harvest into gear during the last week of August. This was followed by a much-needed cooldown that allowed the vines to recuperate, while also giving us extra hangtime for flavor...

VINTAGE NOTES: 2019 brought another exceptional vintage to Napa Valley, resulting in wines with alluring polish and poise! The season began with a wet winter followed by a mild spring.

Introduction: Merli is the name of the hill where this vineyard is located; Bricco (meaning “hill”) indicates that this vineyard is located at the very top of the hill. Vintage Report: The 2018 harvest was quite late and arduous; yet, the crop shows immense promise after a long and engaging growing season. The beginning of spring was quite difficult due to the heavy rain, and the summer was considerably warm and quite dry. The conditions allowed the vines to catch up upon a quite slow start....

THE STORY: Bricco Pernice is named for the rock on which courting partridges build their nest. “Pernice” translates as “rock ptarmigan” or “partridge,” “Bricco” is a hill. This is the very latest wine from Elvio Cogno. Until a few years ago this was part of the Ravera Barolo cru; in recent years it has been expanded to incorporate the neighboring hills. The fruit of years of hard work, this wine is a dream come true, made from the finest vineyard in Novello in the most historic part of the...

Notes: Grapes for this wine were sourced from Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll district, which includes two family vineyards. The area’s cooler weather, along with crop thinning and gravelly light soil, creates ideal conditions for producing a rich, distinctive Merlot. This wine is lush and supple on the palate, with expansive, dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness and smooth, leathery tannins.

Sweet citrus scents of orange, lemon and lime meld with aromas of rich red wine. Dark berry flavors mingle with pomegranate, orange, and soft red wine notes for a smooth style. - Winery

VINEYARDS: We’re convinced that in the world’s best wines can be found the true essence of the place from which they came. We grew the fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon in our Keyes Canyon Vineyard in Paso Robles. Hot days and cool nights, thin soils and stressed vines—these are the hallmarks of Keyes Canyon. Vines struggle to produce fruit here, resulting in tiny clusters with high skin-to-juice ratios that create deeply concentrated wines with intense flavors. This southwest benchland...

VINEYARDS:The biggest influence on the climate of Monterey County vineyards is invisible, yet its effects are undeniable. Under the surface of Monterey Bay lies a canyon that is two miles deep, sixty miles long, and filled with cold water. This canyon generates cool Pacific air, which is then funneled through the Gabilan and Santa Lucia mountain ranges. This natural air conditioning results in slow and gentle ripening—an ideal climate for Pinot Noir grapes.To preserve the delicate fruit and...

Evangelo is a blend of the red grape variety Syrah and the white Viognier.Fermentation is induced simultaneously for both grape juices in Burgundian oak tanks of 40Hl. One of the benefits of adding Viognier is the process of co-pigmentation, which stabilizes the colouring of the red wine. In addition to its softening qualities, it also adds a stabilizing agent and enhanced aroma to the wine. After malolactic fermentation in the same tanks, the wine is aged from 12 to 18 months in new French...
