Organic-Biodynamic Wines

From such a fabulous diversity of soils, Abbaye Sylva Plana produces several Cuvees, all expressing the Faugères bouquet and complexity. Made from Cinsault along with younger vines of Grenache and Carignan, Les Novices is a fruity and fresh, fleshy wine with just enough of southern and garrigues accents.

Frappato is a light ruby red with a fragrant and fruity bouquet. The taste of cherries and blackberries is envolped by a slight spiciness. It's gentle tannins have a great personality and are well balance making it particularly recommended as a pairing with semi-aged cheeses and grilled fish. Villa Italia Importer

We've been buying wines made from the Eisele Vineyard since it was in the hands of Joseph Phelps winery. The current stewards of this remarkable 38-acre site have adopted organic and biodynamic farming practices and continue to produce some of the most vivid expressions of terroir that Napa has to offer. Beautiful loamy soil and dried sweet herb notes frame the elegant red currant and dark cherry fruit, while fine dusty tannins support these flavors clear through the finish.

95 points Burghound:A red berry liqueur nose complements beautifully the excellent quality and fine material of the generous, rich, sweet and full-bodied flavors that possess excellent detail despite the robust character of the mid-palate, all wrapped in a strikingly complex, dusty, mouth coating and amazingly long finish. This is a seriously impressive effort and a legitimate candidate for the Charmes of the vintage; note however that patience will be required. Note that in contrast to the Lavaut, this is actually less powerful but more elegant, which is the exact opposite of this duo in 2007. Drink: 2018+

92-95 points Burghound:This is the freshest and most expressive wine to this point with its densely fruited and highly complex nose of plum, cassis, spice and dried violets that is followed by intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are elegantly delineated, all wrapped in a palate staining and driving finish that is underpinned by ripe tannins and simply incredible persistence. Comments: Outstanding Drink: 2024+

97 points Burghound:The intensely floral nose is classic Mazis with the hallmark animale component already in full song on the very ripe yet fresh red berry fruit and deeply earthy aromas. The concentrated and large-scaled flavors are rich to the point of opulence as the level of dry extract is almost hard to believe yet the forcefully long finish is precise, focused, impeccably well-balanced and the length is simply amazing. In a word, dazzling. Drink: 2024+

It’s impossible to discuss Chassagne-Montrachet without mentioning the name Bernard Moreau. Year to year, this celebrated producer vinfies and bottles some of the purest, most thought-provoking wines of the appellation. Employing a style of winemaking that might best be described as hands-off, Bernard produces Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays that are sensual, opulent and utterly delicious.  The Sorting Table Importer
