Piaggia Carmignano Il Sasso
2010
$27.99
“Late harvests, low yields,
lengthy macerations and no fining/filtration are the rule at Piaggia. These new
releases from proprietor Mauro Vannucci show exceptional balance, and his 2006s
are the best wines I have ever tasted from the estate.” – The Wine
Advocate, Aug. 2009
“A new winery for me that's very good indeed.” – James Suckling in the Wine Spectator
The Carmignano Riserva is “simply the best of the appellation.” -- The Wine Advocate

Soter North Valley Pinot Noir
2011
$32.99
The wine features notes of orange
blossoms, cranberries, blackberries, sweet cream, cocoa, minerals, and has a
markedly silky and supple mouthfeel. Long and lush, the wine leaves big, thick
tears in the glass and its soft entry invites sip after sip. Pour it
against your favorite single-vineyard Oregon Pinot, and understand why North
Valley is already featured at some of the finest restaurants in the country.
