Wine Notes
Wine Club Selections
McKinlay Vineyards Pinot Noir
WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON | 2021
The 2021 offers beautiful notes of wild cherry, raspberry, and herbs. True to form, this wine is ultra silky, with a repetition of red fruit flavors, spice cake, and a long, elegant finish. Pair this with a classic roast chicken.
Antoine Jobard, Bourgogne Aligoté
BURGUNDY, FRANCE | 2020
Notes of white flowers, fresh peach, and lime zest. Light-bodied, with plenty of mineral and citrus notes on the long, refreshing finish. It is an ideal match with simply prepared shellfish, but can also go with a pasta tossed in pesto.
Viñatigo “Listàn Negro”
CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN | 2021
This Listàn Negro is delicious with ripe strawberry and cherry on the nose opening up to a mineral rich palate that has elements of smoke on the finish. This is a fantastic BBQ or charcuterie wine and is best served a bit chilled.
Supernatural Wine Co. “The Super-Nat”
HAWKE’S BAY, NEW ZEALAND | 2020
Delicious and unlike anything else I have ever tasted in a Sauvignon Blanc: dominant green apple and lemon curd driven by an incredible gingery cream finish and wafts of rosemary and honey.
Domaine de Vernus “Régnié”
BEAUJOLAIS, FRANCE | 2019
Beautiful dark fruits, savory spice notes, and a silky mouthfeel. The wine has the delicacy that you want from Beaujolais but also a nod towards the complexity and richness of a Rouget wine.
Fosso degli Angeli "Rajete" Aglianico
CAMPANIA, ITALY | 2018
We think this incredible value is going to make you an Aglianico believer. Beautiful dark fruit notes, with hints of blackberry, plum, wild spice and mineral.
Stony Brook Vineyards “Lyle” Blanc de Blancs
FRANSCHOEK, SOUTH AFRICA | 2017
The “Lyle” 2017 is a stunning mix of vinous richness combined with pure energy. After spending 4 years on the lees, the mousse has tamed to the point that it simply lifts the fruits in the glass and accentuates the salty minerality without being too overbearing.
Poderi Aldo Conterno “Conca Tre Pile” Barbera d’Alba
PIEDMONT, ITALY | 2019
Though it is Nebbiolo that most afficionados associate with Conterno’s highly allocated wines, they also shine with other varietals such as Barbera. Le Midi was able to procure a case this year for your enjoyment!
