Old Vine Red Lot 75

California

July 10, 2025 - Affectionately known as “OVR,” Marietta’s Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. A groundbreaking combination of grape varieties and multiple vintages first produced in 1982, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades. With an historic underground following, it is one of the longest lasting and best known red blends produced today. Predominantly comprised of Zinfandel, Old Vine Red combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure.

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2020

Côte-Rôtie

June 23, 2025 - Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from this area, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

Wine Spectator - April 17, 2024 "A fresh, expressive red, this also exhibits tension, lending energy to its black currant, cherry, licorice and cedar flavors. Graphite and salty accents add detail to the long, tightly-wound finish."

Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo 2021

Toscana IGT

May 13, 2025 - This Tuscan "Super Value" is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma called Rompicollo. The vineyard benefits from southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a soil rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.

Dog Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Marlborough

May 07, 2025 - Dog Point Chardonnay is one of New Zealand’s most expressive and distinctive white wines. Sourced from low-yielding, hand-tended vines in the Wairau Valley and crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the site’s character with clarity and intensity. A reductive, flinty edge meets layered fruit and leesy complexity, creating a taut, mineral-driven wine with serious structure and precision. As with all Dog Point wines, it’s a national benchmark—an unfiltered, uncompromising Chardonnay with Burgundian depth and unmistakable Marlborough identity.

Wine Enthusiast - January 25, 2024 "Subtle struck match and grilled nut aromas perch just above the lemon and toast aromas without overpowering them; a salty, seashell vibe is present, too. There's vibrant, citrusy acidity on…
