Somm's Picks January 2025

Pick 1: Old World Wine Pick

Ch. Poesia St Emilion Grand Cru 2020

The nose exudes an elegant bouquet of herbs, menthol, black fruit, and clay. The palate deepens the dark berry flavors, with smooth tannins and a fresh finish. A wine that will reveal its layers over the next 5 to 15 years yet is approachable and enjoyable today.

Pick 2: Crowd Pleasing Wines

Illumination Sauvignon Blanc 2023

A Sauvignon Blanc that elevates above the usual crowd from California. The nose is citrusy with added layers of white flowers, stone fruit, and hints of straw. The palate is fresh yet balanced with some additional notes of gravel and lemon grass joining in as the opens up.

Pick 3: The Great Ones

Sierra Salinas 'Sylarion' 2022

Deep intense notes of black plum, raspberries, granite, smoke, and mint. The palate is incredibly decadent and silky with the fruit being more present than the earth tones on the palate. Great today but will evolve for years.

Pick 4: Value Spot Light

Triton Toro 2021

The nose exudes vanilla and black cherries while the palate is harmonized with layers of earth, red fruit, and baking spice. This easy drinking wine is surprisingly complex and perfect for both the Spanish wine and Cabernet fans.
