What we are most excited about right now!
Le Vieux Donjon CNP
$75.99
From an estate that produces a single, consistently great wine, the 2020 Le Vieux Donjon offers flavours of cassis, garrigue, flowers, spice and mandarin orange. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the more charming, mid-weight style of the vintage, supported by silky tannins, great balance, and complexity. It's not going to match the top vintages from this estate, but it's nice to have a wine from Le Vieux Donjon that is drinkable over the short term.
La Croix des Pins Ventoux Rouge
$23.99
Situated in Mazan, (Vaucluse county,) the Château la Croix des Pins boast a micro-climate due to its ideal location between the Mont Ventoux and Les Dentelles de Montmirail in an area classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. It's a blend of Grenache 55%, Syrah 35% and Mourvèdre. It's a spicy, zesty affair with subtle black and red fruit notes and hints of garrigues. Excellent value!
Domaine La Colliere Clairmentino
$22.99
In the year 2000, Georges Perrot established his own vineyards with land that he acquired as a result of his tenant farming or via sharecropping in the communes of Rasteau and Buisson, which represents an area of 15 hectares. With a helping hand from fate, he rented an old cellar for the 2002 harvest, and Domaine La Collière was born. In 2003 he built his modest little cellar in the Vaucluse in heart of the southern Rhone Valley. The wine is a blend of Vermentino (95%) and Clairette, fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by 8 months in barrique.

Part of the Last Great Malts series from Bacardi/Dewar's - this 13-year-old from Craigellachie Distillery is bottled at 46% ABV. This 13yr old along with the rest of the Craigellachie official prime-numbered lineup was introduced in 2014.
Tamdhu 18 Year
$259.99
Limit 1 Per Customer! You should all know by now that we're big fans of Tamdhu. They're one of the true vanguard protecting the legacy of sherry maturation in the Scotch whisky world and, sadly, there seems to be fewer and fewer distilleries able to produce in this style with each passing year. In short, we're pretty fortunate Tamdhu is holding standards high. To say we were excited for the arrival of the 18-year-old is an understatement. This one has been on our radar since first whispers made it over here. Hate to do it, but we've gotta limit this one to one-per-(customer/family/household) for now.
Producer Description
"Tamdhu only matures in the finest Oloroso Seasoned Sherry Casks sourced from Spain, so when a small selection of these fine casks came of age, the time was right for the distillery to bring them together to craft a very limited 18-Year-Old release. This scarce wood bears two great gifts: colour and taste. Tamdhu 18 Year Old’s deep copper hue is developed by the cask, nothing more – and each drop owes its rich, complex taste to its home of over a decade and a half."
46.8% abv
Glengoyne 15 Year
$123.99
New and improved. Their words, not ours. We think it was always a pretty killer dram (we just wish the abv was a bit more robust!). And while this 15-year-old was matured in a near-even split of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, it's definitely the sherry that sings loudest. Whoever pulled these particular casks together absolutely nailed it: 20% first fill bourbon, 25% first fill sherry, and 55% refill casks. Sounds pretty simple, but it's the balance that really wows here. Great blending.
