Aligote
Filter
Aligote is a white grape that is used to produce white wine varietals. These are often used to produce white wine blends in Burgundy called Cremant de Bourgogne. The region uses nearly 15% of Chardonnay grapes to blend with Aligote to create blended white wines. Because Aligote adds acidity, it is often blended with Sacy. In Burgundy Aligote is often planted in the poorer vineyards at the bottom and the tops of the vineyard sites because land is often lost to other prestigious grapes in Burgundy. Aligote can tolerate the cold and ripens quite early. The wines that are produced using Aligote grapes can be consumed quite young and are very high in acidity. The aroma of wines made with Aligote grapes feature elements of lemons and apples. In the village of Bouzeron the best examples of Aligote are grown and represent the best examples in the entire region. Aligote is the second most popular grape variety in Burgundy with Chardonnay at the top of the list. The vines used to be blended with Chardonnay, but have since been separated. Aligote is found in the Rhone Valley and in the Communes of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence as well as parts of Eastern Europe.

J Lohr Signature Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon 6% Cabernet Franc 6% Saint Macaire 4% Petit Verdot 4% Malbec.
J. Lohr Signature Cabernet Sauvignon was first produced to honor the 80th birthday of founder Jerry Lohr. This limited release was specially selected and blended from the exceptional 2016 vintage in Paso Robles. It is both a tribute to Jerry's pioneering efforts in the region and our red wine portfolio's ultimate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. VINEYARDS & CELLAR Beck Vineyard, in the Creston District of Paso Robles, is a unique, high elevation site that sits at 1,700 feet above the early morning fog line. Its calcareous soils and cooling afternoon winds are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernet from this vineyard ripens early with excellent color, purity of fruit, and phenolic maturity. Incorporation of Cabernet Franc brings freshness to the blend, while the rare Bordeaux variety, Saint Macaire, brings density and a savory character. Petit Verdot and Malbec add structure, color, and a component of bright fruit. The hand-harvested grapes were held separate at harvest and berry-sorted into six-ton open top tanks for fermentation. Maceration took place on the skins for five days, before early pressing to achieve ideal tannin extraction. Aged 19 months in 100% new French oak from coopers Nadalie and Sylvain.
Review:
The nose on this luxury-level bottling is pure and refreshing, offering aromas of black cherry, loamy soil, dried mint and caramel-laced coffee. The palate is framed by upright tannins, yet is soft enough to enjoy now, showing deep flavors of black currant, dried herb, milk chocolate and toffee. Drink 2020–2040.

El Cortijillo Tempranillo La Mancha is made from 100% Tempranillo
Up front aromas of raspberry and cherry fruit, medium to light weight, Rhône wine in character, cherry fruit flavors, followed by bright acidity. Reminds of a mythical cross between a Pinot Noir and a Côtes-du-Rhône. Pleasant and fun, bistro red.
Made from 30 year old vine.
Delicious with Paella, hamburger or pasta. But also great with grilled vegetables. (bell pepper, eggplant, etc)
