In Sheep's Clothing

Somlói

Fekete Pince Juhfark 2011

From an obscure, nearly extinct grape variety, Juhfark translated literally means "sheep's tail" so named because tightly clustered bunches have a distinctive curve at the tip. Found only in the Somló region of Hungary, this non-aromatic variety is typically aged in large oak barriques. Meyer lemon zest, cling peaches, chamomile, and white flowers round out the nose. It's a broad-shouldered white with a coursing vein of acidity, along with a mineral upwelling that showcases an ashy, volcanic soil type. Sample — 9 years ago

Cuvée Tradition Gigondas Grenache 2010

Late night. Eating jambon royal and sheep's milk chevre. 2010 gigondas in all its glory. This wine is phenomenal. Earthy and floral. Almost like a great garden. But also has dense delicious fruit. Just can't say enough good things. Sent me to bed with a smile. — 10 years ago
