New Arrivals

It may come as a surprise to many, but the cult winery Black Hills does, in fact, make wines that aren’t Nota Bene. Tempranillo isn’t widely planted outside of Spain and almost never planted in B.C., which is a shame because this is fab: a bright, ultra-present body of cherries and red apple, interwoven with a nose of roses, cinnamon and fine black pepper. A long hot finish and fine tannins – made for espelette-rubbed pork or chicken.

Le Grand Roi Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a masterfully complex wine. Though it is young, it has a mature development for those who wish to drink it now, or it can be saved for up to five years as a stunning cellar item. Produced by Marius Michaud, Le Grand Roi means “The Great King,” and celebrates the king’s forest and its majestic animals.

We are really excited about this accoladed, ready-to-drink Barolo Riserva at a very affordable price. Barolo Riserva is quite often $100+ and here we have a 10 year old for $55 that requires no cellaring. In Morra, at the heart of Barolo, lies Beni di Batasiolo, a property of the Dogliani family since the 1950s. Showcasing an élevage of more than 30 months in Slovenian tuns, this Barolo is revealed through an evolved profile boasting scents of leather, fallen leaf, plum, licorice and tobacco. A lovely tasting experience!
