Description
September wine club this year is a tour of Europe. While everyone else on the internet seemed to have a European summer, we're dreaming of the shoulder season. The end of summer, the autumn equinox; warm days and cool nights. Travel with us to the truffle farms of Tuscany, quant villages throughout Provence and Europe's largest desert in Spain (it's beautiful - Google it). One of our favorite things about wine is its reflection of the people that make it and the places the grapes are grown. These wines will take you places. 

2021 Bastide du Claux Malacare Luberon Rouge

Made from vines averaging about 50 years old, the Malacare is primarily Syrah (60%) and Grenache (25%) with a small amount of Carignan (10%), and comes from southwest-facing slopes of sandy soil.  After a fairly long cuvaison of about 3 weeks, the wine is aged mostly in concrete for roughly a year, with the Syrah partly aged in large barrels before being bottled. It's a perfect blend of bright acidity and dark, brambly fruit.

2020 Loghi Bianco

Azienda Loghi is a small family farm situated in the province of Siena, Tuscany, within the up-and-coming Orcia Valley DOC as well as an area famed for its white truffles called Crete Senes. The Loghi Bianco is Valentino’s Trebbiano and Malvasia blend, coming from his 15-year-old estate fruit within the Orcia Valley. From the nose to the palate, this wine offers minerals, stone fruits, salt, and truffle. Crispy lime and fresh apples that are deliciously caked in salt but they seem to be missing the caramel that could be expected with the round and exciting texture. A wine for fresh foods at the table, as it is long and expressive and dances between fruit and minerality.

2019 Altamente Monastrell

This project from Fernando Barrena (of Azul y Garanza) and his wife, Marian, is located in the northernmost part of the DO Jumilla in the high Hoya Torres Valley with shallow, calcareous soil in arid conditions. The majority of the vines are Pie Franco (on their own rootstock) and farmed 100% organically. This wine has complex aromas of red berries and cherries with subtle floral notes. The palate is smooth with ripe black raspberry and cherry compote flavors that while deep and somewhat brooding, are lifted by tangy acidity with a pop of spice and pepper.
