A Quarterly Red Cellar Trio Club Selection
A ‘trine’ is defined as a close group of three, and this wine pays homage to the families of Pepper Bridge: the McKibbens, the Murphys, and Pellets. It highlights the best of the estate vineyards and is a vintage-specific blend of Bordeaux’s traditional five red grapes. The 2017 bottling is a blend of 42% Cabernet Franc, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Malbec, 9% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Each lot was vinified separately and aged in French Oak, 41% New and 59% Neutral. Certified sustainable and Salmon Safe. 672 cases produced. Dense aromas of dark berries, bramble fruit and sweet oak. The palate delivers marionberry, dark plums and black tea with a note of caramel and a hint of cinnamon. Cellaring Recommendation: 5-7 years.

2017 Quinta Dos Murcas Margem, DOC Douro, Portugal (750ml)
About the Icons
A Red Cellar Trio Wine Club Selection
Deep plum with a touch of garnet. Intense aromas of ripe blackberries and cassis. The palate is ripe and concentrated, bursting with flavors of fresh black and red cherries, huckleberries and figs. The voluptuous mouthfeel is tempered with vibrant acidity and well-integrated, slightly grippy tannins. One of three estates owned and operated by Esporão, Quinta dos Murças traces its history back to 1714. The estate is nestled on the right bank of the Douro River, between the towns of Regua and Pinhao, and stretches 3.2 km along the riverfront. Quinta dos Murças possesses 155 hectares, of which 48 are under vine and planted to indigenous grape varieties.
2017-C Lornano Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, Tuscany, Italy (750ml)
About the Icons
A Quarterly Red Cellar Trio Wine Club Selection
Brick red. Classic aromas of crushed rock, fresh red berries and exotic spice. The palate exhibits rich fruit flavors of ripe red and black plums, bramble fruit and berry compote, with notes of cigar box and dusty earth. The palate is artfully balanced, with fresh acidity and a long and expressive finish. A prime example of when Riserva Chianti really starts drinking well, and starting to show the benefits of extended bottle ageing.

About the Icons
A Quarterly Red Cellar Trio Club Selection
Quite coincidentally, fattori is the Italian word for "farmers", and Antonio Fattori, viticulturist and winemaker of Fattori winery comes from five generations of farmers. His grandfather planted his first vineyard in the early 1900s near the village of Terrossa, about 20 minutes east of Verona.
