The winery is run by Tim Murphy's three sons, and Dave Ready's sons are responsible for winemaking.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Murphy Goode Pinot Noir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nPinot Noir ripens relatively early. To make an interesting wine, it must be grown in a relatively cool location, giving it enough time to develop sufficient flavor notes. Murphy-Goode's Pinot Noir is grown exclusively in higher-elevation vineyards and areas cooled by the Pacific Ocean mist. The young wine is aged for eight months in French and American oak barrels before bottling. The result is impressive. This beautiful Pinot Noir is perfectly balanced on the palate. Fresh notes with beautiful nuances of red fruit, embraced by light vanilla notes from the oak aging. Finished with soft, refined tannins and a hint of black cherry.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775790387279,"sku":"10302","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/murphy-goode-pinot-noir_10302.webp?v=1770120365"},{"product_id":"murphy-goode-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"Murphy Goode Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"What a magnificent red wine this Californian is, made from 82 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the remainder supplemented with Cabernet Franc.

The winery is located in the Alexander Valley in northern Sanoma County. Today, it is part of the Jackson Family Wines Collection. In the United States, the winery is known for its straightforward, award-winning wines and its relaxed, unpretentious style. The winery is still run by the same family. Tim Murphy's three sons manage the business, and Dave Ready's sons are responsible for winemaking. The vineyards are situated close to the banks of the Russian River.

The warm climate and abundant sunshine allow the grapes to ripen well, producing beautifully powerful wines bursting with aromas. This Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, demonstrates how a warm climate significantly influences the richness of a wine. The winemaker strives for finesse and complexity. This translates into aromas of black cherries, a hint of licorice, chocolate, and a hint of toast. The oak aging enhances the palate with a fuller and more powerful flavor, revealing many beautiful nuances of cherry, blackberry, and forest. The back of the palate reveals more distinctive flavors such as cocoa, pepper, toasted oak, and a hint of almond.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775788748879,"sku":"10303","price":22.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/murphy-goode-cabernet-sauvignon_10303.webp?v=1770120359"},{"product_id":"freemark-abbey-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2019","title":"Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eWow, what a powerhouse from Napa Valley, this Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon.

This marked the beginning of the Kendall-Jackson winery's enormous growth and success. Many years later, expansion followed, including the acquisition of Freemark Abbey, one of Napa Valley's most respected wineries, whose history dates back to 1886. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are located in an old part of Napa Valley, deep in the soil, and produce full, powerful bunches. Indeed, to make such wine, you need to come from good families, and for this reason, Freemark Abbey is considered the father of the region. Everyone respects the history and, of course, the way this beautiful winery cultivated its wines. Today, Freemark Abbey wines are beloved worldwide and, unfortunately, sell out every year. Fortunately, we were able to acquire a few bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e 28 months of oak aging for Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are hand-harvested with love and dedication and then aged in oak for at least 28 months—yes, you read that right. This long period is crucial for this fine wine, as it develops countless flavors. Because 30 percent of the barrels are new, it also develops beautiful nuances from the oak. This is clearly noticeable in the aroma, with hints of blackberry, cherry, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, tobacco leaves, and much more. After about 10 minutes of nosing the glass, we take the first sip. It's full and complex on the palate with a fine tannin structure. Tasting notes of ripe black fruit, pepper, and chocolate make it a true delight. The palate continues to develop, intensely aromatic with subtle nuances of smoked oak, herbs, tobacco, and pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e As with many Napa Valley Cabernets, there's also a small addition of other grapes.
