Urban Legend

Undici Amador County Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

It’s full of black cherry fruit, deep and dark—the kind you find stuffed into a coat of bittersweet chocolate. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings up the sophistication with a hint of the briar that so characterizes the grape. Tannins are concentrated enough to structure such a rich wine, but round enough to not be the least dry. — 11 years ago

Broc Cellars

Mendocino Counoise

Our second wine from urban winery Broc Cellars in Berkeley. Counoise is an obscure blending grape from the Southern Rhone. A bit of a cypher showing ripe and underripe fruit like tart cranberry and sweet cherry. Sweet soil character with a hint of ancho chile and vanilla. — 10 years ago

Les Tuffeaux Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2011

Awesome 100% Chenin Blanc from Urban Grape (6W- $28). Buttery tea biscuits on the nose. Complex palate that hits you with pineapple/coconut/citrus notes, moves to crisp acidity, finishes with a nice buttery notes which stay and linger. Beautifully balanced and can pair well with food (or cheese/honey combo) or drink on its own. — 11 years ago
