Wine Notes


A NOTE ABOUT OUR CASE OF THE MONTH:  - Our case of the month is an excellent way to get real value for your wine dollar and drink wines from around the world, carefully selected by J. Emerson staff.  No need to join the recurring nightmare of a subscription wine club. Our case is infinitely more interesting and a better value! The discounted price for the MARCH case-of-the-month is $128.99; (average btl. price: $10.75!!) the regular price would be $194.99, a savings of almost 34%! We also offer an ALL RED & an ALL WHITE 8 PACK because, sometimes, 8 is enough! The ALL RED 8 pack is 2 each of the 4 red wines for: $86.99 and the ALL WHITE 8 pack is 2 each of the 4 white wines for: $86.99.

Here is the line-up and as always, there are 2 each of the first four wines (*) and 1 each of the last four wines.

*Fairview 2022 Goats do Roam White Wine, Western Cape, South Africa- (Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Roussanne ) In a clever homage to “Cotes du Rhone,” South African producer Fairview makes their “Goats do Roam” wines employing Rhone varietals grown in the Western Cape.  Nectarine and honeysuckle notes characterize this crisp wine with good minerality.
*Domaine de la Bastide 2022 Rouge, Cotes du Rhone, France - (60% Grenache, 20% Carignan, 20% Syrah) Organic, non-certified. A classic Rhone red with lots of bramble-berries and pepper-like spicy qualities. Medium bodied, balanced with silky tannins.
*Domaine Salvard 2021 Sauvignon Blanc “Unique,” Loire Valley, France - (100% Sauvignon Blanc) A Kermit Lynch import and one of our favorite Loire Valley producers practicing Lutte Raisonnée farming. Clean and bright with notes of green apple and every citrus you can think of in this crisp, zippy white wine. Pair with fresh seafood, a salad or a cheese board.
*Donna Laura 2022 Rosso “Ali” IGT, Tuscany, Italy - (90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon)- “ The 2022 Ali is a very pretty everyday wine from Donna Laura. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar are nicely pushed forward in this Sangiovese based blend. Best of all the Ali is a screaming value.” (Vinous, Galloni 6/23)
Usoa de Bagordi 2019 Tinto, Rioja, Spain- (Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha).-  An entry level Rioja made from organically grown grapes with aromas of dark and red fruit with touches of spice, clove, black pepper and understated balsamic notes.  Good structure with flavors of wild berries and finishing with refined tannins.
Cazas Novas Branco Colheita 2022, Vinho Verde, Portugal – (100% Avesso) This non-effervescent example of Vinho Verde Branco is made from the lesser-known Avesso variety. Savory lime and other citrus aromas along with melon-like impressions characterize this snappy, fresh wine.
Domaine de la Ferrandiere N/V Blanc de Blanc Brut, Limoux, France – (100% Chardonnay) Classic-method sparkling wine made from Chardonnay in southwest France.  Apple and subtle toast notes make this wine a perfect choice for Easter brunch!
Perrini 2021 Negroamaro, Puglia, Italy- (100% Negroamaro) Certified organic and vegan. Wild ferment and aging in stainless steel. Fuller bodied with dark berry notes. Hints of licorice and earth come to mind in tasting this unoaked, organically-produced red wine from southern Italy.
