The 2025 Ciavolich Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a deep-hued, energetic rosé with the soul of a light red. The nose is a fragrant mix of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and fresh mint. On the palate, it is "pleasantly chewy" and structured, balancing crunchy cherry fruit with a savory, salty minerality. It finishes crisp and long, making it an incredibly versatile food wine.

 

A blend of seven white Rhône and Rhone-adjacent varieties: Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Vermentino, Roussanne, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc, with fruit from eight top Rhone vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like many white wines from the Southern Rhône, it is based on the crisp acids and rich mouthfeel of Grenache Blanc, with Viognier for floral, tropical aromatics and luscious stone fruit flavors, Roussanne and Marsanne for structure and spice, and additions of Vermentino, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc for brightness and texture.

 

Jonathan Buisson is a third-generation artisan producer in southern Beaujolais, farming ten hectares of estate gamay vines with organic and regenerative agricultural methods. Domaine Les Roches Bleues enjoys exceptional growing conditions, with the famous pierre bleue, a hard, blue-hued igneous rock typical of Côte de Brouilly, giving delicious wines with incredible energy, structure, and freshness. This cuvée is crunchy and fruity, with a soft, glou glou style that is completely charming. La Croquante is an assemblage of vines planted on the pink granite soils of Brouilly: fresh, racy, and fun.

 

Pax began in the late 90's, and swiftly became one of the leading identities of Syrah in the country. The 2023 sources from Castelli-Knight Ranch, Griffins Lair, Armagh, Nellessen, Hawks Butte and Alder Springs vineyards, a blend of terroir to create a serious yet fresh approach to the wine. Fermentation uses whole cluster grapes, supporting the fresh approach but adding more textural weight and a welcomingly spicy tone. Lastly, the wine spends 10 months in neutral French oak, allowing time to mellow some and soften the exuberant style of the variety.

Juicy, opulent, palate wetting, and diverse, the array of Beaujolais we’ve gotten together will provide an immaculate pairing alongside Thanksgiving dinner and festivities alike. Here at Montrose Cheese & Wine, we have a proclivity to the delectable array of expressions based in Beaujolais; you deserve to taste through the entirety of what Beaujolais has to offer as well! As a region, Beaujolais is divided into 10 different departments, titled crus, shown by a declaration of which cru on the face of the label. Each of these crus have a unique expression and allow a different part of the delicious gamay grape to shine, from the aromatic nature of Fleurie to the bold presence of Moulin-à-Vent.
