The Argentiera DOC Bolgheri Superiore, draws its strength and uniqueness from the magnificent territory in which it’s generated. The grapes come from the estate’s best vineyards of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with a rich and silky complexity. A long maturation in French oak barrels, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the unique terroir of Tenuta Argentiera make this wine one of the greatest expressions in the Bolgheri area.

Nighthawk Black Cabernet Sauvignon channels the hedonistic side of this classic grape variety. A single sip dives into lingering flavors of dark black cherry, blackberry, and cocoa. Velvety tannins and hints of baking spice brings balance to this full-bodied wine.

Bota's Pinot Noir is a gorgeously fruity expression of the romanticized grape. It begins with a sweet bouquet of cherry pie and a hint of savory herbs. It opens to rhubarb, black cherry and clove, followed by a brisk finish.

This luscious, semi-sweet red wine is a delightful balance of fruity and earthy notes. The nose reveals aromas of ripe black chery, raspberry, and plum. The sweetness is well-integrated, 2 with a lingering and satisfying finish that's enjoyed perfect on its own or paired with dishes featuring sweet sauces or glazes, barbecue or wit desserts like tiramisù, or crème brûtlée.

The color on the Colombaio di Cencio Futuro is a very intense ruby red, the nose is captivating and spicy, with hints of toasted wood. On the palate it is ripe, with notes of black pepper, dried berries, while the finish is well balanced,  full-bodied and long.

Red of great polyphenolic richness. Deep and intense purple red, with a complex aroma of red fruits, morello cherry, currant and raspberry, and delicate notes of sweet tobacco and cocoa, and more officinal herbs in the finish. The structure is dense, with rich but harmonious tannins, of great thickness; the fruit is supported by a fresh acidity, and the persistent aftertaste is of jam. It is enhanced with roasted red meat, suckling pig, game and greedy game, jugged pheasant and venison stew, spicy cheeses and Umbrian palombacci.

Our Castle Rock Merlot is produced from grapes grown in carefully selected vineyards in California, where the climate and soil quality provide excellent growing conditions for this classic varietal. This elegant medium-bodied wine is vibrant ruby in color with expressive aromas of black cherry, blueberry, plum, and spice.

Andosol draws inspiration from the historic field blends of California. Zinfandel is the protagonist. This is a blend meant to be enjoyed in its youth. To provide a unique perspective of the Ink Grade Estate. Undoubtedly, this site and the inherent stress it lends to grape growing will saturate the grapes with intensity and depth. This is not a feeble or simple wine. It will age incredibly well.

A blend of Grenache (90%) and Mourvèdre (10%) fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel, this perfumed, blossomy red shines a spotlight on lustrous boysenberry and raspberry flavors.

Mercurey is located in the Côte Chalonnaise and produces well structured and pure, fruit driven reds with a distinctive underlying earthiness. Their relative low price when compared with wines from the more famous Côte d'Or appellations makes them good value for money.

This has a rather shy nose that eventually reveals whiffs of botanical herb, cedar and underbrush. Racy and rather lean, the focused palate shows dried cherry, coffee bean and clove alongside bright acidity. Close-grained tannins leave a drying finish.

The 2018 vintage show lovely aromatics of dark fruit, clove, black pepper, vanilla and toasty oak. Rich in the mid pallet, this wine coats the mouth. With a long finish this is a big wine and it will only get better with time. The soft integrated tannin and long finish draw you back for the next sip. Drink now, or age for 5-8 years.

Alain Graillot stumbled upon these vineyards and the Thalvin winery while bicycling in the Zenata region of Morocco between Casablanca and Rabat. It is a beautiful area with cool winds blowing off the Atlantic and no polluting industries. The Thalvin winery has been around since the 1920s and after some discussion, a deal was reached and Thalvin provided Graillot with parcels of Syrah vines to produce Syrocco.

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Les Hautes Brusquières (60/40 Grenache and Syrah) comes from a cooler terroir near the Mount Redon plateau and was brought up in oak tronconique tanks and demi-muids.
