This grenache based blend out of the up and coming Gigondas region is smoking! Old world meets new world with striking fresh fruit and savory notes of earth.
A blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, and Petite Sirah from an east-facing Paso Robles vineyard high above the Estrella River valley. Winemaker/owner/former restauranteur Roger Nicolas also manages his own vineyards. He oversees every detail from vine to wine.
Augie Hug strives to let the true terroir of each single vineyard selection shine. I worked a harvest with them a few years back. It was an eye-opening experience… I learned a lot.
This is my favorite rose…I was first introduced to this rose a few years ago, and was blown away! Light in color, and perfect for summer. I had the pleasure of tasting the 2007 Tempier in Bandol and i was stoked. It was awesome to taste the 07 and visit the Domaine, great job Daniel.
It’s just yummy. A versatile bottle of bubbly for any night of the week.
Avenger has really hit stride as of late, it is intense and rich with great complexity and depth. Having the chance to taste the Villa Creek wines often, i was impressed!… You will be too.
