Victoria 2008
Malaga, Spain
$24.99 (375 ml)
Tanzer 93 “Bright gold. Peach nectar and poached pear on the highly fragrant nose, with melon and honey notes emerging with air. Fleshy and very sweet, displaying velvety pit fruit and honeydew flavors and gentle finishing lift. A hint of bitter lemon zest adds welcome bite and a tangy quality to the finish, which clings with impressive tenacity and focus. “
Parker 93 “The 2008 Victoria (presumably named after winemaker Victoria Ordonez) was made from late-harvested, air-dried, botrytis-free grapes which took 2-3 months to complete the process. About 20% of the wine was barrel-fermented with the balance in stainless steel. Floral, mineral, and peach, apricot, and mango aromas lead to a beautifully proportioned, very sweet (250 g/RS), viscous wine with bright acidity and superb length. It should certainly drink well for another 4-5 years, perhaps considerably longer.”

WS 96 “One of the more endowed 2009s, this is packed with dark smoldering cocoa, mesquite, tobacco and roasted fig notes, all inlaid with pure cassis and plum preserves fruit flavors. Long and authoritative on the finish, with singed vanilla bean and tar adding length and dimension. Best from 2015 through 2026.”

Tanzer 92 “Bright ruby. High-pitched, very ripe aromas of blackberry, spicecake, licorice pastille and rose petal, with a whiff of brandy. Impressively tactile and concentrated, with a three-dimensional texture to the rich flavors of blackberry, bitter chocolate, flowers and spices. Distinctly high-pitched, even a bit youthfully aggressive, but wonderfully pure wine. Finishes broad and long, with lovely sweetness and impressive grip. A superb showing, and a very good value in the context of vintage port.”

Castello Romitorio is the product of Sandro Chia, renowned artist and winemaker. This quote really sums up the philosophy at Castello Romitorio. “We understand wine as the ultimate, seductive fusion of art and agriculture. We are not Bordeaux, nor Burgundy; not California nor the Mosel. Neither are we Barolo nor Chianti. It would be obtuse even to call us Montalcino, assimilated seamlessly among 180 producers of Brunello. We are Castell Romitorio, and our language and our art is wine.”

Wine Enthusiast 93 “Sandro Chia and his family at Castello Romitorio offer a rich, plush and velvety expression of Brunello with excellent dimension and staying power. Plump fruit flavors and black cherry color the long, soft fade”

*********************************************

St. George Spirits was founded as an eau de vie distillery nearly 30 years ago and the principles of Old World eau de vie distillation continue to inform their product. Eau de vie is all about capturing the essence of raw materials.

They work in small batches on copper pot stills. They watch their stills carefully, tasting as they go and discarding anything that’s less than absolutely sublime. Their goal is maximize flavor and aroma, not profitability. It’s an artisanal process that results in a better-tasting product.

The distillery is a kitchen of sorts and their spirits are made from the most extraordinary fruit, vegetables, herbs, grasses, and grains that they can find.

Though flavor is their utmost concern, they source their ingredients conscientiously—locally and organically when feasible. They work with farmers they know by first name. They have never used artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. And they take a “whole hog” approach to distillation—using source materials in their entirety, capturing all that is beautiful about raw ingredients in their natural state.

Single Malt Whiskey
43% abv
$74.99
Pot distilled from barley malt mash
Distilled, barrel aged, blended and bottled in California out of love for what whiskey can be. For the better part of two decades, they have been handcrafting single malt in 65-gallon pot stills and then aging it in French oak, port and sherry barrels, and used bourbon casks. The result is an uncommonly smooth and ethereal single malt with notes of cocoa, roasted hazelnut, and hardwood smoke.
