Wolf street from Rhône subregion Luberon! Like literally an area of Luberon known for, well, lots of wolves. 70% Syrah, those blackcurrant and briny olive-y, smoky notes coming through, the rest Grenache noir lifting with a little spice and gently drying tannins. Way better than you’d expect for the price tag, like WAY better. — 2 years ago

fridge fulla champs and we elected pruning wolves….what can I say. the flocked allure, the lemon-apple confit kick, the charcoal and gunmetal smoke-scented snap, the mildly oxidative afterburn which rings like an aluminum bat against a steel fencepost…..sharp, maybe even mind-bending…for a second. cool year opener. — 3 years ago

Another $45.00 Steal

I often imagine the vine as a family tree, stretching back centuries, in this case, to 1550 or so, when La Louvière acquired its name from the many hungry wolves (louves) that roamed the deep forests of the Graves, well before the construction of the elegant 18th century chateau that adorns the label of this flagship wine. This brief history lesson makes me appreciate even more the imposing qualities of the 2005 La Louvière, a wine with a lot of time on its hands. Firm and taut as a young wolf, with the strong heart to endure and improve for a decade or more, gracefully maturing into a benchmark Pessac-Léognan, stylish and fleshier, more supple and savoury as the willful tannins are further seduced by the dark and persuasive fruit. If you really can't wait, then bite the cork, figuratively, and decant for an hour before enjoying with gently-braised lamb shanks. — 5 years ago

Ca’ Lojera, pronounced “callow yerra”, means “house of the wolf”, making this a Stark wine for GoT fans. The estate was originally the bishop’s Summer home, so here, the “wolves” refer to smugglers who used the estate as a base during the rest of the year.

Ca’ Lojera is primarily a producer of Lugana whites, but they grow a bit of Cabernet and Merlot for their rosato, and make stainless steel varietal wines of each. The Merlot is surprisingly good, with smooth, clean cherry and blueberry fruits, and just a touch of pepper spice bite to the finish. — 2 years ago

Maybe my first wine from Piekenierskloof SA.
Medium yellow. Slightly herbal tinged, lemon oil and green apricot aromas. Hints of nutty, sesame oil and roasted walnut. Palate it medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity, dry. Long finish echos lemon/apricot note and brings additional tropical note of just ripe mango.
I assume the 777 refers to clone here. — 4 years ago
