Winemaker: Thomas Rivers Brown,
Proprietor: Richard Talmadge.
Hailing from St. Helena, this powerful yet refined red, with ripe dark fruit and lush, velvety tannins, a hint of black pepper, and fresh mint, seduce your palate with vivid acidity. Let the intoxicating blackberry and cassis aromas give way to a long finish.

Barda, Pinot Noir Patagonia, 2015
Barda features some friendly notes of spices and packs of fresh strawberries and raspberries, followed by delicate notes of dried tea leaves. The man behind this project is Piero Incisa Della Rocchetta from Rio Negro (The Black River), located in the heart of Patagonia, Argentina.
Heads up! Barda might easily pass for a classic Burgundy.

Val de Flores, Malbec, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina 2013
Winemaker: Michell Rolland
This timeless, complex, and rich Malbec is full of dark fruit, purple and blue flower notes, blackberry, red and black plum, and has a bitter cocoa finish. The seductive aromas of violets and black pepper notes make this wine round and balanced with silky tannins. There is something about Val de Flores that makes me think of Pomerol.
