Simaine Cellars 2009 Elvie's Block, Larry Venturi Vineyards Carignane (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A truly lovely Carignane, organically grown, dry-farmed and from a single vineyard, a 100% varietal example of how well Carignane can grow in Mendocino when well-tended and allowed to be itself. Rich, luxurious and smooth, the wine is also dark and brooding, incredibly fruity, like a liquid cherry-raspberry tart topped with vanilla ice cream.

Simaine Cellars 2009 Larry Venturi Vineyard Sangiovese (Mendocino)
- $25
A dense, candied, cherry-infused Sangiovese that’s thick in texture, syrup-like, very ripe with intriguing clove and pomegranate flavors. Made from organically grown, dry-farmed grapes. The alcohol is high.

- $18
A little closed still, Simaine’s SB is very lemony with good balance of acidity though the finish veers sour. From organic, dry-farmed grapes.

Simaine Cellars 2008 Larry Venturi Vineyard Zinfandel (Mendocino)
- $25
There’s no hiding the 24 months in French oak this Zin spent after growing up in an organic and dry-farmed vineyard. Medium to heavyweight it’s all about ripe strawberry and blackberry, sweet to the point of being in a pie, rounded out by graham cracker and a fine fruit liqueur.
