Peybonhomme-Les Tours, Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux 2019

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec

From the same Bordeaux house that brought us Château La Grolet. Even though Château Peybonhomme Les Tours began six generations ago in 1895, this generation begins with the union of two humans of different wine-related backgrounds. Jean-Luc Hubert descended from a long line of sailors who navigated the Gironde river utilizing “scow” boats to transport wine. Alternatively, Catherine came from a long line of winemakers, her great grandfather having acquired Peybonhomme in 1890. Both of their ancestors worked extensively with one another making and transporting wine, unbeknownst to them the union that would one day happen. The kids have grown and now assist in making beautiful, natural wines and following in their parents’ footsteps.

This is Chateau Peybonhomme’s main wine offering insight of what Right Bank Bordeaux can be at incredible value. It’s raised entirely in cement, no oak used. It can be drunk right away, and opened with all sorts of meats and mushroom dishes.

Roches Neuves, Cuvee Domaine 2020

$33.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

The small image that appears on most of Thierry Germain’s labels is a silhouette of the man himself; he is walking, casting a long shadow that transitions into two tall grape vines. This image is the perfect metaphor to imply the large shadow Thierry casts in life; affecting the vines around him through his ability to produce healthy grapes and practice biodynamic farming. While other vignerons in Saumur are pumping as much synthetic fertilizer into the vineyards as possible, Thierry is using compost when necessary, forcing the grapes to suffer, resulting in lower yields and complex pure wines.

“Cuvee Domaine” is Thierry Germain’s flagship wine, representing what he can do. This Cabernet Franc from Saumur comes from vines ranging from 4 to 70 years in age! All the grapes are completely destemmed, allowing for a more fresh and fruity wine. It is aged mostly in stainless, with a little bit of little exposure to small wooden tanks for 3 to 4 months. There is no added sulfur.

Tenuta Maccan, Cabernet Franc 2020

$19.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

The Maccan family has sustained three generations of winemakers in Friuli Grave, a region located in the northeastern area of Italy. The owner, Stefano Maccan, sums up the family’s vision with this quote, “My family’s passion for farming grew inside me until it became something more than mere curiosity and turned into determination... the determination to finally produce my own family wine.” Even though the Maccan family had been making wine dating back to 1788, it wasn’t until 2012 that Tenuta Maccan was an established domain. The Maccan team pays homage to tradition while innovating with their organic and certified sustainable farming techniques.

This Cabernet Franc is aged in stainless steel for 8-10 months for a purely fruity, yet grassy expression of this variety. This is elegant and velvety with good acidity and finish. Enjoy this with any cured meats or game meat.

Monte Bernardi, Tzingarella 2020

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Colorino

The Monte Bernardi estate dates back to 1085. The property’s vineyards are situated in the hilly, southern-most region of Panzano, an area that has been acknowledged as one of the “Grand Cru” of Chianti Classico. Most of the vineyards are more than 40 years old. Before 1992, when the first wines were produced, the grapes were sold to neighboring farms. The Schmelzer family, originally from Michigan, purchased Monte Bernardi in 2003. As winemaker, Michael has invested “time, love and money in the vineyards, the winery and villa” (www.montebernardi.com). The property was certified biodynamic in 2004.

This medium-bodied wine is fruity and richly complex, with smooth tannins, fresh acidity, and a touch of Tuscan cherry accenting the Bordeaux-grape character of fresh cassis, blackberries and minerality as well as sweet spices from oak aging. Drink now or hold up to 10 years.

Domaine de la Butte, Bourgueil Le Haut de la Butte 2018

$43.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a rising star in the French and international wine scene. He produces his wine with true vision and no sacrifice, two attributes rarely seen in the commercial wine world today. While working as a wine broker in the Loire Valley, Blot came into contact with a winemaking family no longer capable of caring for their land. Believing the site needed to be respected and shown to the world, his inner voice urged him out of his office and into the vineyards. From this beginning, in 1989 he has since expanded his lands to include parcels in Vouvray, Montlouis, and Bourgueil. Though just across the river from Vouvray, Montlouis does not have the strong market grip of its neighbor. However, its vineyards and age of vines can produce wines that outshine just about anything.

Coming from the “top of the mound,” this Cabernet Franc hails from Jacky Blot’s other estate winery, Domaine de La Butte in the Bourgueil appellation. The vines are roughly 35 years planted to clay and silex soil over limestone. The wine spends time in a mix of cement and older barrels.

Ampeleia, Costa Toscana Cabernet Franc 2020

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Ampeleia was born only just in 2002 from the collaboration and friendship between noteworthy icons—Elisabetta Foradori, Thomas Widmann, and Giovanni Podini. They created a place where they could not only develop an agricultural project but also fulfill a common dream. The estate comprises different plots of land, each located far apart and on different altitude levels—their mission is to create variables in altitude, soil type and microclimatic conditions. Variety is the spice of life, at least Ampeleia, representing the project’s constant quality and willingness to discover. The grape varieties that have been planted are common to Mediterranean vineyards reflecting the tradition of growing multiple varieties in the same vineyard. Today, the estate extends over three altitude levels and covers 35 hectares of vineyard.

This Cabernet Franc hails from “La Rocca” vineyard, which refers to the site being a natural fortress ringing in at 500 meters altitude. This wine is a celebration of the wine as a monovarietal, which shows off the clay-limstone and schist soils from which it hails. On a clear day, the island of Corsica can be seen while standing in La Rocca vineyard.

Lalalu Cabernet Franc 2019

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Laura Brennan Bissell is an artist by nature, and winemaking did not find its way to her life early. Now based in the Napa Valley, Laura's vision is to make wine from low intervention vineyards and focusing on a style of wine that she says, "she would want to drink." Laura is part of the minimalist movement in the wine world and has trained under some of Napa's top names, such as Steve Matthiasson and Mick Unti. Her label is small production, and done in a style that has been a bit out of fashion for the last 20 years, but the lighter and brighter side of wine is again in the limelight.

If there was ever a winemaker whose ambition was to make quaffable and approachable wine, it would be Laura Brennan Bissell of Bay Area, Cali. Laura takes a fun little French expression called vin de soif—literally meaning “thirsty wine”—and bottles it in the form of Cabernet Franc. Essentially, it means fresh, easy juice meant for consuming right now, with a nod to the effortless ease of Beaujolais. The Cabernet Franc comes from sandy clay and loam soils. It is aged in neutrals barrels and released after a short time.

Chateau Taillefer, Pomerol 2018

$60.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Chateau Taillefer's initial claim to fame was being recognized by the geographer of Louis XV in 1776. It has been cared for over two centuries. Enter the Bordeaux wine merchant, Antoine Moueix, known for playing an integral role in the beginning of one of the largest wine-growing dynasties ever. He saw potential in this great domain, subsequently purchasing Taillefer in 1923. Chateau Tallefer was not known for having the best Pomerol terroir due to its high content of sand in the soils. Its proximity to Libourne, a business center, made it easy for the wine to get to different markets via train.

Coming from the Right Bank village of Pomerol, the wine is mostly Merlot with some Cabernet Franc blended in. Pomerol is an area rich in iron which is how this estate earned its name; “Taillefer” comes from the French phrase “to cut iron.” This Pomerol ages in oak barrels for about 12 months.

La Croix de Chaintres, Saumur-Champigny 2018

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Hailing from the central Loire Valley comes the small standout appellation of Saumur Champigny. Named for the city of Saumur and the village of Champigny, it’s nestled between Bourgueil, Chinon, and Anjou. This is an area famed for its Cabernet Franc, but Saumur Champigny is an exception to the typical style. The wines are less rustic and tannic, more light and fresh. Instead of ageing in concrete, this Cabernet Franc ages in stainless steel tanks. The screw-cap closure allows the wine to retain its freshness, instilling its drink-me-now mentality. The history of the La Crois de Chaintres began four generations ago; father Paul and son Frédrik built up this estate to where it is today. Frédrik continues to steer the winery in a more natural direction; he employs sustainable farming and has converted more than half of the vines to organic practices.

Chateau Les Cruzelles, Lalande de Pomerol 2015

$50.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Denis Durantou is considered one of the rising stars of the Pomerol region. Owning a couple different estates within proximity of one another, he focuses on what the region is known for—Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines. He purchased Les Cruzelles in 2000. While Denis has his hands in several projects, they all seem to be intertwined. Each subject has a different purpose and a different terroir. The appellation of Lalande de Pomerol is a small area next door to its bigger siblings, Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. Thanks to the unfamiliarity of the region, it delivers the same quality as Pomerol, but without the hefty price tag. This is something we love—discovering lesser known regions honed by incredible producers.

The Lalande de Pomerol 2015 is a blend of the major varieties in this appellation, 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc planted in gravel and clay soils. The wine is fermented in tanks and then aged in oak, 50% of which is new.

Matthiasson, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017

$90.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer. Daring to break Napa tradition, Steve and his wife Jill have planted rare, ancient Italian grapes though recognize that Napa loves all the well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together. This is real California wine and Matthiasson’s wines are where California wine is headed. Steve Matthiasson is a six-time nominee for a James Beard award, a serious achievement in the wine industry. He has also been named “Winemaker of the Year” by both Food & Wine Magazine and The San Francisco Chronicle. Steve and Jill are long time friends and mentors to Hart & Cru.

This bottle is a classic example of how Cabernet Sauvignon blends well with its other Bordeaux variety friends—small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The blend comprises of six vineyards across Napa drawn from Coombsville, Rutherford, and Oak Knoll appellations. This bottle spends 20 months in mixed barrels, 20% of which is new French oak.

Ashes & Diamonds, Mountain Cuvee #1 Bates Ranch 2016

$120.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc

At first glance, “Ashes and Diamonds” only brushes the surface of what the winery truly represents. The story—or journey rather—begins in the autumn of 2013 when Kashy Khaledi (son of winemaker Darioush Khaledi) was a creative media executive at Capitol Records, the “ideal job.” In the midst of a lengthy creative stump, Khaledi would often turn to old films for inspiration. He found one that shifted the course of his life—the 50s Polish film Ashes and Diamonds. A dream started to take shape; Khaledi threw himself into researching the viticulture and enology that shaped California’s wine culture. His quest for joint ventures began; he teamed up with Steve Matthiasson and Diana Snowden, farming vineyards in Napa Valley in the pursuit of balanced wine.

Bates Ranch is a historic vineyard that has now existed for four generations. In the southern part of Santa Cruz Mountains, the altitude here is up to 2100 feet where the Cabernet Sauvignon grows, and the old vine Cabernet Franc grows a few hundred feet below. The wines are co-fermented for 20 months in new American oak barrels (35%). The winemaker is acclaimed Diana Snowden.

Catherine et Pierre Breton, Bourgueil "Avis de Vin Fort" 2020

$35.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

As the wine world talks about Catherine and Pierre Breton, one will hear them referenced as "real life bon vivants vignerons." I love this description so much as it perfectly captures the soul of this married couple. From the beginning, they have truly wanted to have fun in life and to make unadulterated natural wines long before the hipness of the natural wine scene took hold. Recently, they started the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. In fact, they have become international icons for the natural wine movement in an area where the climate and soil can make organic practices difficult. They are based in Bourgueil in the Loire Valley and have an impressive spread of vineyards ranging in soils and vine age. One might say the innovative couple is well ahead of the game and doing it with charm and grace.

This is a fun, energetic Cabernet Franc from 40-50 year old vines. The name loosely means “strong wine advice,” drawing inspiration from an old maritime warning of strong winds. The advice is to avoid bad weather, sail back to shore and have a glass instead. The wine is very light and drinkable after spending just 6-8 days on its skins.

Patrick Lambert, Chinon "Gourmandise" 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

In the appellation of Chinon in the Central Loire Valley lies the humble village of Cravant les Coteaux. It is theorized that the “Cru” vineyards of the appellation dwell here. This is where Patrick Lambert farms some of the area's most exciting wines rivaling the more well-known names like Baudry and Pallus. Originally belonging to his grandfather, Patrick took over this estate in 1990. As is often the case for the new generation, he began making the kind of wine that he wanted to. This started with reducing the size of the estate to the best plots so he might focus on quality over quantity. He reduced yields and converted to organic farming. Certification for organic farming came in 2014. His vines range from 19-60 years in age. Everything is hand harvested.

Gourmandise is French for “gluttony,” perhaps referring to the feeling of glutton one might feel after imbibing in a lot of this fresh and fun Cabernet Franc. The vines used are about 20 years in age making for a more intensely fruity wine. The grapes are completely destemmed, giving the wine more perfume and more juiciness. To stay in pursuit of freshness, the bottle is fermented and aged in lined tanks underground in Patrick’s cellar.

Catherine et Pierre Breton, Bourgueil "Trinch!" 2019

$35.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

As the wine world talks about Catherine and Pierre Breton, one will hear them referenced as "real life bon vivants vignerons." I love this description so much as it perfectly captures the soul of this married couple. From the beginning, they have truly wanted to have fun in life and to make unadulterated natural wines long before the hipness of the natural wine scene took hold. Recently, they started the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. In fact, they have become international icons for the natural wine movement in an area where the climate and soil can make organic practices difficult. They are based in Bourgueil in the Loire Valley and have an impressive spread of vineyards ranging in soils and vine age. One might say the innovative couple is well ahead of the game and doing it with charm and grace.

Trinch is named in honor of a German phrase meaning “cheers.” Keeping in the same spirit, this is a young vine softer Cabernet Franc meant to be drunk right away.

Chateau Fonbadet, Pauillac 2016

$75.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc

The Peyronie family, the current owner of Château Fonbadet, has ancient winemaking roots in Pauillac. Their winemaking lineage goes back to the year 1700 according to public records of the time. The Peyronie family has serious roots in other Bordeaux houses in the Pauillas appellation. Pierre’s grandfather was estate manager of Château Lafite Rothschild, while his wife’s grandfather was estate manager at Château Mouton Rothschild. Pierre’s father, Robert, handled the estate in a dynamic forward way between WWI and WWII; he created a vineyard using vines on the verge of distinction or being sold at auction. Today, Pascale, Pierre’s daughter, has taken over after 20 years of training. Its classification is in the makings of the future fifth growths of Pauillac.

This is an incredible wine of the great appellation of the Pauillac appellation. It is a blend of all five of the great Bordeaux varieties.

Roches Neuves, Bulles de Roche Brut NV

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc

The small image that appears on most of Thierry Germain’s labels is a silhouette of the man himself; he is walking, casting a long shadow that transitions into two tall grape vines. This image is the perfect metaphor to imply the large shadow Thierry casts in life; affecting the vines around him through his ability to produce healthy grapes and practice biodynamic farming. While other vignerons in Saumur are pumping as much synthetic fertilizer into the vineyards as possible, Thierry is using compost when necessary, forcing the grapes to suffer, resulting in lower yields and complex pure wines.

This is a Methode Traditionnelle sparkler coming from the Saumur appellation. Vines are sixty years in age. This wine is aged for three months in small barrels, then bottle aged on its lees for nine months to add texture and richness. There is no dosage added to this bubbly. In fact, its name means “Rock Bubbles,” reiterating the clay, limestone soils from where it came.

Ashes & Diamonds, Cabernet Franc No 4 2017

$85.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

At first glance, “Ashes and Diamonds” only brushes the surface of what the winery truly represents. The story—or journey rather—begins in the autumn of 2013 when Kashy Khaledi (son of winemaker Darioush Khaledi) was a creative media executive at Capitol Records, the “ideal job.” In the midst of a lengthy creative stump, Khaledi would often turn to old films for inspiration. He found one that shifted the course of his life—the 50s Polish film Ashes and Diamonds. A dream started to take shape; Khaledi threw himself into researching the viticulture and enology that shaped California’s wine culture. His quest for joint ventures began; he teamed up with Steve Matthiasson and Diana Snowden, farming vineyards in Napa Valley in the pursuit of balanced wine.

This is a Cabernet Franc with simultaneous elegance and strength. Vineyards sourced are from the cooler south side of Napa Valley and packed with volcanic soil. The ageing process takes place over 19 months in oak, 30% of which is new French oak. The winemaker is Steve Matthiasson who consults on several wines for Kashi Khaledi.

Enfield Wine Company, Fort Ross-Seaview Cabernet Sauvignon Waterhorse Ridge 2017

$75.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot

Enfield Wine Company is the passion project of John Lockwood and his wife Amy Seese. Founded in 2010, the project is very young, but despite that has recently started to gain attention nationwide. I first started to taste with John in 2013 and have been championing the honest wines ever since. These are truly some of my favorites from California. John only uses native yeast and the wine is never filtered or cold stabilized. John’s passion is contagious and I’m thrilled to pass it along to you.

Waterhorse Ridge is a special vineyard located on a rocky ridge a mere five miles from the Pacific. This site is among the coolest in the California area due to its proximity to the ocean, but is balanced by the volcanic rocky soils and its advantageous afternoon sunlight. The grapes were destemmed, but 20% of the stems were added back. The wine ages for 18 months in different sizes of French oak barrels, 15% of which is new. As John Lockwood said, “The wine is “seductively ripe while maintaining its elegance.”

Iruai, 'Tierra Extrana' Cabernet Franc 2020

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet

Chad Hinds started out as a chef, entering the world of work during the great recession of 2008-09. As a diversifying strategy, he started learning more about wine, then quickly aligned his thinking around the connections between natural food and wine. Chad finished a degree in enology before deciding in 2013 to create a winery, which he calls Methode Sauvage (“wild method”), initially focusing on finding a voice for Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc because he loves the grapes of the Loire Valley. As Chad’s interests and capabilities have grown, so has the range of wines he is producing as a sort of wunderkind of natural wines. In true gypsy form, the winery has taken on a new name, which is now the identity of Iruai.

Tierra Extraña means “strange land” and refers to the visiting Cabernet Franc which would usually feel at home in its native France. The wine is sourced from several cooler coastal sites, unusual for California as it is usually producing bigger fruiter wines.

Grand Vin #2 comes from the A&D Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa. A&D is a Bordeaux style blend of the classic Merlot and Cabernet Franc in a seamless marriage of freshness, fruit and minerality. It is aged for 20 months in 35% new French oak barrels and bottled below 14% alcohol, which is almost unheard of these days in California red wines.

Nicolas Carmarans, Aveyron Mauvais Temps 2020

$37.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Fer Servadou and Cabernet Franc

Aveyron is very well removed in terms of the wine regions of France. A little lesser known, the region is nestled near the mouth of the Loire River, southern Burgundy, and the northern Rhone valley. Actually, the area is better known for its sheep and the bleu d’Auvergne cheese than its vines. The reason why it’s so uninhabited is there was a massive shift of people moving to Paris where it was much easier living than the rugged terrain of southern France. Nicolas Carmarans knows firsthand as his grandfather was one of those people. Nicolas returned to his ancestral village and began growing vines there in 2002. Mauvais Temps is his most prized vineyard due to its abandoned state after the frost of 1956. The woods surrounding the vines create a diversified environment which is vital for the vines. The wines are unusual and beautifully made.

This is from the Mauvais Temps vineyard from which Nicolas was able to put life into once again. The vines are 30 years old and blend several varieties that grow well in the granite soils here. Think tart red fruit with a smokey, meaty side that still shows some elegance.

Les Tourelles de Longueville, Château Pichon-Longueville, Pauillac, Bordeaux 2018

$60.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot

Chateau Pichon Longueville is one of the great Bordeaux houses which was part of the original 1855 classification, though the estate itself originated back during the late 17th century. Pichon was classified as a Second Growth during that time with its vineyards within the appellation of Pauillas, part of the Left Bank. With its historic past, the chateau has changed hands just twice. The first family of Pichon Baron owned this property for over 200 years. The property was divided at some point, becoming Pichon Longueville and Pichon Comtesse. This estate continues to be one of the most prestigious Bordeaux houses today.

This wine is named for the “Tourelles,” otherwise known as the small turrets that have flagged the chateau. The wine is one of the second wines of the domaine. Unlike the first wine, which is Cabernet driven, this is Merlot driven and meant to be consumed slightly earlier.

Roches Neuves, Saumur Champigny Franc de Pied 2016

$78.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

The small image that appears on most of Thierry Germain’s labels is a silhouette of the man himself; he is walking, casting a long shadow that transitions into two tall grape vines. This image is the perfect metaphor to imply the large shadow Thierry casts in life; affecting the vines around him through his ability to produce healthy grapes and practice biodynamic farming. While other vignerons in Saumur are pumping as much synthetic fertilizer into the vineyards as possible, Thierry is using compost when necessary, forcing the grapes to suffer, resulting in lower yields and complex pure wines.

“Franc de Pied” undergoes whole cluster fermentation in foudres for 8 to 10 days. It is then aged in large foudres for 12 months. This is a Cabernet Franc that can age with grace. Its name means "free of foot."

Famille Hubert Vignerons, Rosita Bomba Rose 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc and Merlot

From the same Bordeaux house that brought us Châteaux Peybonhomme and La Grolet. Even though Château Peybonhomme Les Tours began six generations ago in 1895, this generation begins with the union of two humans of different wine-related backgrounds. Jean-Luc Hubert descended from a long line of sailors who navigated the Gironde river utilizing “scow” boats to transport wine. Alternatively, Catherine came from a long line of winemakers, her great grandfather having acquired Peybonhomme in 1890. Both of their ancestors worked extensively with one another making and transporting wine, unbeknownst to them the union that would one day happen. The kids have grown and now assist in making beautiful, natural wines and following in their parents’ footsteps.

This rose takes its name from the Anita Bomba comic strip as seen on the front of this label. “Rosita” is the cousin of the author, Didier Cromwell, who also really enjoyed the Hubert family’s wines. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend is bottled with a bit of residual sugar.
