Clos Saron vineyards. High Sierras, Northern California.

03/02/2011

Friday evening, March 4th, 2011, @ Montague Wine, from 5-8pm, we will be having a wonderful tasting even featuring two producers we are very excited about. Clos Saron is a sustainable producer in the High Sierras of Northern California producing some of the best domestic wines available (if hard to find) today. The wines of Clos Saron show deep influence and gratitude towards the deep reds of the Rhone Valley, and express the terroir of the High Sierras in a way that is antithetical to the wines of the Napa Valley. Beautiful deep and expressive, the 2006 La Cuvee Mysterieuse ($39.99) is a blend of Rhone varietals that is rich and exquisite, and we are delighted to be able to share it with you. From clossaron.com, in a piece entitled Inspirations, winemaker Gideon Beinstock writes,

"My name is Gideon Beinstock. I have been involved in just about every possible aspect of the wine industry over the past 25 years: consumer, buyer, seller, educator, writer, and - for 10 years now - maker. Saron, my wife and inspiration, has many years of experience in viticulture, and a magic touch with all living things: dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, bees, even little human kids. We have decided to dive into this dubious financial adventure out of many other-than-commercial reasons: love of wine (especially Pinot Noir), love of outdoors work (especially viticulture), the artistic challenge (we both had artistic aspirations and education), and our wish to do something productive in our lives. Wine is for us an integral part of our lives, a source of enjoyment, and an endlessly expanding horizon to explore. We hope our wines will enhance your life in similar ways."

Also, and not to be overshadowed by Clos Saron, we will be able to offer you a taste of the Old, Old World. The 2000 vintage of Lopez Heredia Rosato. Staunchly traditional, this rosato reflect the patience of the winemaker and cellar master. A blend of garnacha, viura and tempranillo, this wine is unbelievably expressive, and hopefully, spring is right around the corner.

Pouring the wine on Friday is Vinicius Rodrigues of David Bowler Imports.
