2017 Domaine Lafage
"Tessellae - Old Vines" GSM
Côtes du Roussillon, France
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exploding with flavors of ripe blackberry, wild strawberry, sour Morello cherry, blueberry, white pepper, lavender, baking spices and vanilla, the 2017
Tessellae Old Vines is lush, complex, beautifully integrated and vibrantly fresh.
Big fruit flavors are complemented by plenty of herbs and spice. Offering a staggeringly silky sensation, the mouthfeel is pure magic!
Once again, Lafage and Solomon have crafted a wine that delivers WAY beyond its modest price. Hand-harvested from 65 year-old organically farmed vines on Lafage's estate, the value of this Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre blend is simply astounding!
Drink this extremely versatile wine on its own or with just about any winter fare. Awarding
a robust 92 points, Jeb Dunnuck writes...
"The GSM of the estate, the 2017 Tessellae Old Vines checks in as 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre brought up mostly in concrete. Blackberries, kirsch, spice, incense, dried flowers, and baking spice notes all flow to a full-bodied, gorgeously texture effort. It's another gem from this team. Maturity: 2019 - 2022."
- 92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (4/3/2019)
Looking online we found 35 listings for the Tessellae. Our price beats them all. You're going to love this one!

An "Exceptionally Polished" 95-Point Tuscan Red from Poggerino!
2016 Poggerino
"Primamateria" Rosso
Tuscany, Italy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the superlative 2016 vintage in Tuscany, this handcrafted Super Tuscan is another in a long line of stunners from the team at Poggerino.
To put the value of this wine in perspective, the 2016 vintages of famed Super Tuscans Ornellaia and Sassicaia both earned 96+ points from Vinous and go for well north of $200. The 2016 Primamateria was awarded 95 Points and sells for just $32.99.
A blend of individually vinified Sangiovese and Merlot, the Primamateria spent 18 months in oak and an additional year in bottle prior to release. It's bright, jammy, floral and outright delicious....
"
The 2016 Primamateria, the estate's Sangiovese/Merlot blend, is another exceptional wine in this range. Raspberry jam, spice, new leather, dried flowers and mocha lend striking aromatic nuance. The 2016 is sleek, ripe and exceptionally polished, not to mention flat out delicious. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2036."
- 95 Points, Vinous - Antonio Galloni (8/2019)
Given the rising price of the famous Super Tuscans, this new release from Poggerino is a steal and a no-brainer!
Vin Chicago Price: 32.99
