Texier 2 Pack (Rhone, France)

Calico, Eric Texier 2020 $21 This is a special side project from Eric, where he is working with farmers from the village of Charnay, technically in Beaujolais, right on the border of Rhone. The farmers follow Fukuoka principals and work the land together, then Eric makes the wine. This is a field blend from a single 1 hectare vineyard planted with multiple white varietals like Pinot Gris, Muscat and Chasselas. Aromatic and friendly with exotic tropical notes and musky stone fruit. Drink this in the sunshine with something spicy.

Grenache, Martin Texier 2019 $25 This comes from 30+ year old vines planted on granite and limestone in Ardeche. The grapes are foot crushed and bottled without any sulfur. Light on its feet, but no pushover, this has mouthwatering rhubarb notes to go with classic spiced red fruit and a savory streak. Nice with a little chill, but can go either way.
