This week we are featuring wines that are perfect for cold weather. The trio of recommendations is all richer textured. It has prominent depth on the palate, perfectly suited for pairing with wintery meal fare.
We hope you enjoy them!
2017 Roco 'Gravel Road' Willamette Valley Chardonnay, $32
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: Located in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, this Roco Winery Chardonnay sources grapes from its three best growing sites. Full-bodied yet fresh on the palate, the 'Gravel Road' is a super tasty and well balanced winter white. Fresh pear with tangerine aromatics, finishing with pleasant notes of toasty hazelnuts and Myer lemon. Perfect for a hearty chicken stew.
2017 Domaine Berthet-Rayne Cotes Du Rhone, $16
Grapes: Blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Cinsault
Tasting Notes: Old vines, organic farming, and situated on some of the finest terroir *just* outside of Chateauneuf du Pape in Southern France. Châteauneuf-like aromas of wild cherries and leather, followed by an elegant mid palate of warm kitchen spices, finishing with that classic Rhone dark fruit and tobacco. Absolutely superb for the price!
2018 Ritme Celler Priorat Tinto, $24
Grapes: Blend of Carignan and Garnatxa
Tasting Notes: Old vines and a sustainably farmed red blend from the region of Priorat in North Eastern Spain. This is a super fun winter red; nice density with solidly blue fruit tones, balanced, if not a bit punchy acidity, tangy and spicy in the finish. The Ritme Celler Tinto is a fantastic bottle with food pairings! Try this with roasts, stews, and red meat sauces. Delicious.
