When Geraldine and her husband Richard decided to come aboard in 2006, they set about learning as much as they could about farming and winemaking. They had the good fortune to connect with Eric Rodez (former chef du cave at Krug), and, with his help, they zeroed in on the art of blending micro-parcels to achieve the utmost balance, textural complexity, and pure drink-it-up deliciousness. They converted all their vineyards to organic farming and began using the marketing and business savvy from their previous careers to get their wines in front of the right people.

This adds extra elegance and a textural lift to the richness of Pinot Noir (85% of the blend) which reigns supreme in this region. Some aging of the base wines in neutral oak barrels, a healthy 35% of reserve wines, and a small amount of Chardonnay in the blend all contribute to a sense of precision and pedigree that you would expect to cost twice as much.

You can set aside any preconceived notions you might have of the variety as syrupy or jammy; this is a floral, spice-laden, supremely elegant wine of such forthright beauty that it feels akin to nothing less than great Burgundy. It’s so packed with character, sense of place, and value that it caught us by surprise. It shouldn’t have; no one is better suited to coax such fluttering finesse from Grenache than A Tribute to Grace winemaker Angela Osborne, who for almost two decades has worked with Grenache and Grenache alone. This is a bottle to go deep on, so you can revel in its head-spinning glory now and watch it evolve into something ethereal and exquisite with a few years in your cellar. There’s no better tribute to Grenache than a bottle of A Tribute To Grace!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThat Angela Osborne makes wine in California at all is a result of her single-minded pursuit of Grenache perfection. She’s originally from Auckland, New Zealand, where she got a part-time job at a retail wine shop. In 2002, on a lark, she got an internship at a Dry Creek Valley winery. There, she had her first taste of Grenache, and decided on the spot that she would be a winemaker dedicated to the variety. She spent the next few years traveling the world, from Spain to southern France to Australia, learning to work with Grenache and searching for the perfect Grenache vineyard. In 2006, she found it in Santa Barbara County, and released her first wine from the AVA the next year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrom the get-go, Angela’s goal has been to capture Grenache’s ability to not just be full-bodied and lush, but also high-toned and elegant. Indeed, the very name of the project puts that front and center—it’s both an homage to her beloved grandmother, Grace, and a mission statement. Angela seeks out sites that combine the daytime heat and ample sunlight that this Mediterranean grape needs to fully ripen with cool nighttime temperatures and higher elevations to preserve structure.  The 2022 Santa Barbara County Grenache is a testament to the potential of the grape in this unique place. It’s the perfect bird’s eye view of Angela’s vision, made up of five different clones from seven blocks in four different vineyards. To further accentuate the lifted floral and spice characteristics she prizes, Angela fermented the fruit 69% whole cluster with minimal extraction and aged it for 11 months in neutral barrique and puncheon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMake sure to serve Angela’s Santa Barbara County Grenache in Burgundy bowls to fully appreciate its kaleidoscope of aromatics, and a quick 30-minute decant to help them unfurl wouldn’t hurt, either. It pours a translucent, almost pale ruby, and leaps forth from the glass with a riot of red fruits and floral tones. Cherry liqueur, strawberry, hibiscus, orange zest, and rose petals mingle with spicy black tea, sandalwood, and tobacco. There’s nothing raisinated or pruny here, just all heady lift. The palate is medium-full, belying its warm climate origins and loaded with more red-fruited generosity, but there’s also fantastic tension here, a brisk throughline of acidity with a very fine outer frame of tannin. There’s no doubt it’s incredibly delicious and deeply satisfying right now, but it’s also loaded with potential. In a few years’ time, this’ll be even more sultry and spicy, something truly special, especially given the price.

Barbera has also been typecast as the wine the farmers drink, so they can reserve the fancier Nebbiolo-based wines (Barolo, Barbaresco, etc.) for the customers. But Barbera is deserving of more respect. Perhaps the first Piedmontese winemaker to embrace this was the late Giacomo Bologna, who saw that the grape was capable of greatness if treated with appropriate care (and a healthy dose of oak aging). At Cascina Val di Prete, in Roero, they don’t even need the barrels: Just a well-positioned vineyard with old vines in sandy soils. This is a Barbera of serious structure and class, full of concentrated fruit, lively acidity, and mineral depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis estate is one of the stalwarts of the Roero DOCG zone, in Italy’s Piedmont region, just across the Tànaro River from another famous growing zone: Barolo. Similarities between Roero and Barolo abound, but there are subtle differences between the two appellations: They have similar clay\/limestone marl soils, but Roero’s overall contain a higher percentage of sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCascina Val di Prete (meaning “valley of the priest,” referring to a 19th century bishop\u003cbr\u003efrom Asti who lived here while in exile) is in Priocca d’Alba, about 30 kilometers\u003cbr\u003enortheast of Barolo. It was acquired in 1977 by Bartolomeo Roagna, who was a sharecropper on the property, and later taken over by Bartolomeo’s son, Mario, and his wife, Maria Carla. Mario transitioned the farm exclusively to viticulture, and, in 2010, his son, Giovanni, started managing the family business (with Mario still very much involved).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing a manual harvest in mid- to late September, the grapes are crushed and left to macerate on skins for 25-30 as the alcoholic fermentation begins (this lengthy maceration lends tannic structure that might otherwise have been imparted by wood barrels). The finished wine is aged for six months in stainless steel tanks, followed by a  minimum of three months in bottle, before it is released. 100% Barbera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, nearly opaque ruby in color, with concentrated aromas of Morello cherry, blackberry, red and black currant, crushed stones, coffee grounds, and humid earth. Nearly full-bodied, the wine is rich and juicy but has a firm backbone and good energy—it is not syrupy, sweet or “hot,” which many modern Barberas can be.

But now things are different—dramatically different—and Exhibit A is this explosive Campi Flegrei Falanghina. It isn’t aged in expensive barrels and there aren’t any other winemaking techniques used to “supe” this wine up: It’s all about perfectly ripe, old-vine fruit grown in mineral-rich volcanic sand. If you’re still thinking of Italian whites as simple “quaffing” wines, think again—this will take on some of France’s most beloved mineral whites (we’re looking at you, Chablis) and more than hold its own.

They live and work near the ancient thermal baths of Baiae, just north of Naples, and, as mentioned above, they’ve appropriated one of the area’s ancient Roman cisterns (part of that civilization’s incredibly sophisticated water-transport network) to use as a cellar. Working organically—which is made easier by the combination of sandy volcanic soils and a dry Mediterranean climate—they focus almost exclusively on the two classic cultivars of this region: The white Falanghina and the red Piedirosso.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFalanghina is one of Italy’s greatest native whites, part of an ancient Campanian trio that also includes Fiano and Greco.

With “Cruna del Lago” (“Eye of the Lake,” likely a nod to the many volcanic lakes dotting the area), the DiMeos make a special selection of their best old-vine Falanghina and basically get out of the way: Fermentation and aging is carried out in stainless steel for maximum transparency.

Soils in this site, which is very close to the Pacific Coast, are composed of a very thin loamy topsoil over granite.

Perched high in the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the jagged mountain range that dominates France’s Vaucluse region, this pioneering property discovered something important about the Southern Rhône terroir—altitude matters. In the 1960s, Antonin Faravel became a local legend in Gigondas when he climbed higher than anyone else would dare, carving his vineyards from dramatically steep limestone cliffs reaching to elevations of 500+ meters. He knew instinctively that he’d get the plushness and ample body Southern Rhône reds are known for, but also the acid balance and tension so few of them achieve (especially these days). I’ll repeat the key word here: tension. The greatest reds of Châteauneuf-du-Pape manage it, and so does this 2021 from Thierry and Gilles Faravel, Antonin’s sons. It’s another showstopper that must not be missed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs we’ve seen vintage after vintage, this wine lands at the perfect point on the Rhône Grenache ripeness scale, right in its red-fruited, brightly perfumed sweet spot, right before more maturity would bring darker notes of liqueur and black licorice. A dollop of 25% Syrah adds backbone and spice to a wine that caresses the palate rather than bludgeoning it. It is as dramatic and memorable as the iconic mountain range that graces its label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat label, in fact, really says it all: Rather than put a picture of their winery on the bottle, the Faravels want you to know where the character of their wine really comes from—and there is indeed a mineral underpinning to this wine that is often missing in the ultra-ripe modern-day produce of the Southern Rhône. There is also that rare look at what might be called the “Pinot side” of the Grenache grape: the more perfumed expression found most famously in the wines of Château Rayas. Ultimately, the inclusion of Syrah in this Gigondas takes it in a different direction, but there’s no question that Bouïssiere’s high-elevation vineyards—and old vines—produce fruit of exceptional balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe western foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail are where most of the key villages of the southern Rhône are located, including Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Beaumes-de-Venise. Antonin Faravel worked at the legendary Domaine Pierre Amadieu in Gigondas for more than 30 years, passing along his incomparable knowledge of the local terroir to Thierry and Giles. Their pioneering “Grand Bouïssiere” vineyard in Gigondas was planted between 1963 and 1966, much of it on terraces to combat the steep pitches of the slopes. In addition to being one of the highest-elevation sites in Gigondas, it has a northwestern aspect, which mitigates some of the sunlight intensity. So, while there is no shortage of ripeness and intensity in the Bouïssiere Gigondas, it is all in balance. It has energy, enough to “carry” its elevated alcohol with ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen there’s the texture, which evokes sunny, sultry, “Mediterranean” France: This ’21 is voluptuous and ready to drink, but should continue to evolve over the next 5-7 years if kept well. Decant it for 30 minutes before serving in Bordeaux stems and you’ll see a wine with a deep ruby-black core moving to magenta and pink at the rim, with perfumed aromas of wild red and black berries, kirsch, raspberry, dates, licorice, lavender, mint, warm spice, scrub-brush, and dusty earth. It is powerful and nimble at once, an amazing feat that only a few southern Rhône reds manage to pull off consistently. Keep it on the cool side (60 degrees) and serve it with something that speaks to its southern French origins.
