Pastoral Cellars

Clos des Jacobins

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Oh my. My first red in France. Taste of old oak. Vanilla creamy and a little pastoral almost like peanut shell — 2 years ago

Castello di Ama

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 1980

This was before the 1982 sale of Castello. Little info, but this is pre-replanting of mid-80s, very pastoral expression. Eye opening Tuscan gem. — 6 years ago

Corsair

Quinoa Whiskey

This is, to Corsair’s knowledge, the first ever whiskey derived from quinoa – although a handful of additional distillers have followed suit. In actuality, it tastes like, well, quinoa – capturing the grain’s earthy flavors and a certain grassy dryness, like some pastoral windblown field. Not surprising to this San Franciscan, the quinoa whiskey reportedly sells well in California. — 7 years ago

Asconi

Collection Asconi Pastoral Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

I liked how it felt in my mouth, it was wine but it was like strong alcohol, at the same time I could taste the fruitiness (plums and other dark fruits) with a hint of chocolate and earthy smokiness. Sweet without that being the main point, — 4 years ago

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Dolcetto d'Alba 2017

Delicious, juicy black fruit and a structured med- frame / bramble with a supporting acidity and crushed rock minerality / classic & humbly sophisticated, while also being pastoral & convivial / almost a cru beauj thing going on — 6 years ago

Tenuta di Arceno

Valadorna Toscana Red Blend 2009

Sitting on the soft, grassy hillside of a beautiful Tuscan Villa, looking out over the peaceful rolling hills, bathed in sunshine. As you take in this magestic pastoral scene, a stranger appears.... he's wearing a baseball cap and listening to an iPod.... Must be an American. But, strangely.... This adds to the experience. — 7 years ago

Two Shepherds

Pastoral Melange Red Blend 2014

Another hit from Two Shepherds. Surprised by how fresh and alive the fruit in is here after nearly 6 years under cork. Makes a strong case for natural winemaking. Excellent partner for gumbo. — 4 years ago
