This week’s selection features three exquisite wines that are perfect for your summer gatherings. Starting with a delectable red from Roussillon in southwestern France, we then make our way to Languedoc for a refreshing and timeless rosé. For a white wine option, turn to Virginia, where Jim Law and his talented team at Linden Vineyards craft exceptional chardonnay that evokes the charm of Burgundy’s village wines.
Bastide Miraflors Syrah & Vieilles Vignes de Grenache 2019
⭐⭐⭐
Imagine the smoky-herbal essence that envelopes your steak when you add a sprig of rosemary to the coals – this wine captures that flavor profile perfectly. With an alcohol content of 14.5 percent, this red from Roussillon is truly captivating. Each bottle weighs an average of 660 grams and is imported by Eric Solomon Selections and distributed locally by Winebow.
Domaine du Pas de L’Escalette Ze Rosé 2022
⭐⭐⭐
Transport yourself to the idyllic Mediterranean coast with this classic southern French rosé. Bursting with vibrant notes of strawberry, honeydew, and wild herbs, it pairs wonderfully with spicy or garlicky dishes. With an alcohol content of 13 percent, each bottle weighs a light 425 grams. It is imported and distributed locally by Elite Wines.
Linden Vineyards Village Chardonnay 2018
⭐⭐⭐
Jim Law of Linden Vineyards introduced his “Village” collection to offer exceptional wines at a more affordable price point compared to his single-vineyard chardonnays. This wine draws inspiration from the village wines of Burgundy, named after small-town appellations rather than the high-end cru vineyards. If we were to draw a comparison to Burgundy, this chardonnay exhibits characteristics reminiscent of Chablis, with its mineral notes and crisp acidity that beautifully complement the orchard fruit flavors. This classy wine is impeccably crafted, showcasing the signature style of Linden Vineyards. With an alcohol content of 12.3 percent, each bottle weighs an average of 590 grams. It is available for purchase from the winery and distributed locally by Elite Wines.
Please note that prices are approximate, and for availability, we recommend checking Wine.com, Wine-searcher.com, the wineries’ websites, and their social media feeds. Additionally, you can request your local retailer to order wines from the listed distributors.
