Tinta Barroca
Filter
Tinta Barroca is a red grape type hailing from the northern area of Portugal called the Douro Valley. Tinta Barroca has a very high sugar and alcohol content and is most commonly used to make Port wines. Tinta Barroca will be most commonly found as a blending component, which is responsible for most Portuguese complex blends. Tinta Barroca can be found as a single variety wine, mostly all in South Africa, and has become a popular wine style of the Western Cape. Tinta Barroca is a high yielding crop, which makes it a popular choice for growers, but not necessary a top choice for producers. Tinta Barroca is ranked third in the Douro for the most widely planted because producers would rather use Tempranillo or even Touriga Franca in their wines, which are ranked second and first as most widely planted, respectively. Tinta Barroca is susceptible in hot weather, where the berries will shrivel and shrink. Because of this, Tinta Barroca is planted on the higher sides of the Douro Valley where the air is cooler and shaded from the heat of sunshine.

M by Michael Mondavi Red Blend is made from 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, Only 16 barrels produced.
MICHAEL MONDAVI’S VISION FOR A GREAT NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON
M starts with Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted to Cabernet Clone 4 on 110R rootstock, which produces structured fruit with ample tannins and acid to balance the concentrated dark fruit flavors. In order to perfect his process, Rob Mondavi, Jr. consulted with viticulturist Danny Schuster to help unlock the secrets of his family’s Animo Vineyard. Rob and Danny harness an organic natural approach to the vineyard that exemplifies the beautifully, unique attributes of this site.
Linear and precise, the 2016 M by Michael Mondavi opens with expressive aromas of quince, plum, juniper, cassis, blackberry & dark roasted coffee beans. With time and swirls of air, notes of dried rose petals, coriander, cinnamon and clove develop. This wine enters the palate with subtle tannins at first, and soon broadens into a silky expanse of vanilla bean, cocoa, roasted dates, black cherry, and orange blossom tea. The evolution of flavors continues with candied figs, bramble-berry, and cocoa covered strawberries. Enticing and enjoyable now, additional cellaring will surely allow further detail and refinement to develop. Blend: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec

This is a 6 liter imperial also called a Methuselah.
Roland Champion Champagne Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru is made from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from the chalky soils of Chouilly.
This Champagne is full of elegance and finesse. Very complex nose, with a bouquet of aromas dominated by honey, brioche and notes of dried fruits, hazelnuts and sweets. Perfectly matured.
Manual harvest; then pressing immediately to avoid oxidation & preserve quality. Free run juice only. Aged six years on the lees.
It matches magnificently with foie gras!
