About the Wines

Maison Capitain-Gagnerot | Bourgogne Rouge | 2021

Tasting Notes: This wine has a bouquet of cranberry, raspberry, and a bit of earth. Surprisingly, it is quite structured and a very serious wine. Concentrated black cherries, cranberries, forest floor, and a little spice come through on the palate. It is well-balanced with good transparency and acidity.

About Maison Capitain-Gagnerot: The Domaine Gagnerot was established in 1802. After the Second World War, Roger Capitain maintained the estate and passed the stewardship to his two sons, Patrice and Michel, in the 1980s. Now, in the hands of the ninth generation, Pierre-Francois and Delphine carry the family tradition. Over the last two hundred-plus years, the family has meticulously acquired parcels in the Cotes de Beaune and Cotes de Nuits, and the resulting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are beautiful expressions of elegance and purity. The estate is certified Biodynamic and voted “Winemakers of the Year” by the Guide Hachette for 2021. Organic.

Paul Lato | Matinee | 2020

Tasting Notes: The lush berry flavors from the Grenache provide a fruit-forward experience, while the Syrah adds a layer of spicy complexity. The Mourvedre, though subtler in its contribution, enriches the blend with its earthy notes, creating a well-rounded and multidimensional flavor profile. The refined tannins lend a smooth texture, allowing the flavors to linger elegantly on the palate.

About Paul Lato Wines: Passion, quality, and authenticity. These are the guiding principles of our small, artisanal winery dedicated to producing Burgundy and Rhone varietals. Paul Lato is a former sommelier who studied wine extensively and traveled the world before starting his winemaking operation on the Central Coast in 2002. Though their style is inspired by the balance and harmony, they also seek to capture the intensity of flavor that is a hallmark of sun-kissed California vineyards.

Through small-lot boutique production, minimal intervention in the winery, and purity of intention, the team works to achieve elegance in the bottle that showcases the unique qualities of these amazing sites. The ultimate goal is to create wines that are seamless and textural with the structure and balance to complement fine cuisine.
