Staff Pick Notes

Part of what makes drinking wine so much fun is all the rule bending that pops up in the wine world. Don’t overlook this Montepulciano just because it’s not your standard Barossa Shiraz from down under.

What else do you need besides the right balance of bright cherry fruit, acidity and spice? Maybe a good dose of irreverence and innovation & luckily that’s exactly what this bottle offers.
