2011  Torroja Vi de Vila

50% Carinena, 50% Garnacha. Terroir al Limit is a partnership between super-star South African winemaker Eben Sadie and former chef Dominik Huber. Their go-to reference wine/estate is Domaine de la Romanee Conti and it’s apparent that their range of wines is modeled after the Burgundy tradition of village wines, 1er cru site wines, and Grand Cru single vineyard wines. Terroir al Limit is a true garage wine project focusing on old vines of garnatxa and carinena located primarily around the historic village of Torroja. The philosophy of the estate is to capture the character of the terroir by minimizing the effect of winemaking to minimal processing and natural handling of the grapes, enabling the individual sites to express themselves fully. The vines are farmed biodynamically although they are not certified.

2014  

Western Cape, South Africa Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault -- Duncan Savage introduced his own label Savage Wines in 2011. Duncan’s goal is to produce classic and elegant wines. Through his time at Cape Point Vineyards, Duncan has grown to understand maritime vineyards and this knowledge led him to source grapes from maritime and high altitude vineyard sites. He was also inspired by many great older reds from South Africa and abroad that have stood the test of time with moderate alcohol and gentle extraction. The small hand selected parcels of fruit are meticulously sourced from a number of vineyards around the Western Cape. About the name Follow the Line, Duncan became terribly lost while going for the first time to have a look at some Cinsault vineyards he was interested in. He called the farmer for directions who just told him to "volg net die f*kken foon lyn," which loosely translates to follow the line, which he did and managed to find the vineyard.

2005  Samsara Syrah Melville Vineyards

Robert Parker 94 Points: Absolutely spectacular, the 2005 Syrah Melville Vineyard shows classic black olive, blackberry, bacon fat, and earthiness with an inky purple color, full-bodied richness, as well as a hint of charcoal. Great intensity matched by equally impressive texture and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel result in a terrific Syrah to drink over the next 5-6 years.

2019  

"Gorgeous black raspberries, strawberry, spring flowers, incense, and assorted Provençal spice notes all emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a medium to full-bodied, incredibly pure, utterly seamless 2019 that excels on all accounts. Madame Ferando continues to knock it out of the park in just about every vintage, and this is well worth seeking out. The base cuvée is 85% Grenache and 5% each of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, aged all in concrete tanks." - 93pts Jeb Dunnuck

2019  Cote-Rotie

"The 2019 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde is as seamless and silky as they come and is just a quintessential Côte Rôtie. Black raspberries, flowers, ground pepper, and subtle meatiness all emerge from this beauty, and it’s full-bodied, has remarkable tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It certainly offers pleasure today, but smart money will hide bottles for 4-5 years. It will knock your socks off over the following two decades." - 97pts JD
