This Just In…

Anciano Gran Reserva

100% Tempranillo

Valdepeñas ~ Spain

90 Points: Wine Advocate

The Gran Reserva Aged 10 years delivers a captivating bouquet, the product of a good vintage and extended aging in barrel and bottle. Notes of Asian spices, incense, cigar box, lavender, red licorice, and confiture of black cherry lead to a silky textured wine with savory flavors, excellent balance, and no hard edges

Goyette Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa ~ California

90 Points: Wine Enthusiast

This is a smooth, rich and very drinkable Cabernet Sauvignon. It shows ripely classic flavors of blackberries, black currants, minerals and cedar. The tannins are brisk and furry, but the wine doesn’t seem like a longterm ager. Good now and through 2014.

Lan Crianza

100% Tempranillo

Spain

In American and French oak barrels for 12 months, followed by several months in the bottle.Brilliant red cherry with violet hues. Elegant ageing aromas with hints of fruit. Pairs well with cold starters, pasta, poultry. Perfect as wine by glass.

NV Sparkling Riesling

100% Riesling

Germany

As is usual with Riesling – especially from a cool climate like Germany’s – a juicy touch of sweetness was left in the wine to balance the naturally brisk acidity. What you end up with is a refreshing, fruit-driven sparkler that’s a pleasure to drink any time. It’s a great choice for summer parties on the lawn, a Wednesday evening at home, or any time you need a little sparkle in your life.

Greystone Chardonnay

100% Chardonnay

Culinary Institute of America ~ California

90 Points: Wine Enthusiast

Golden yellow color. Aromas of golden apple and succulent melon. Apple and chalky, mineral flavors round a juicy texture rich with vanilla and caramel apple character. With a rich and creamy mouthfeel, this pairs well with seared scallops and rotisserie chicken.

A soft, rounded and feminine wine, with a hefty dose of ripe black fruit, silky tannins and a velvety finish, Greystone Merlot is an incredibly food versatile wine as it pairs with everything from macaroni and cheese to chicken parmignan.

Chateau Puech Haut Prestige

55% Grenache & 45% Syrah

Languedoc ~ France

93 Points: Robert Parker

This remarkable offering is a naked expression of the vivid terroir and excellent fruit found in this region. The incredible aromatics consist of forest floor, spring flowers, sweet black currants, raspberries, licorice, and incense. With a pure, velvety, seamless, full-bodied texture and a finish that lasts 30+ seconds, this wine possesses a stunning integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, suggesting this 2009 will age nicely for 3-5 years, possibly as long as a decade.

Les Heretiques

Carignan & Syrah

Languedoc-Roussillon ~ France

A complex and hearty red, Les Heretiques is bursting with ripe berry flavor. The tannins are well-balanced and the finish long. Les Heretiques commemorates the massacre of Minereve in 1208. Inhabited by members of the Cathari religious order, a pacifist Christian, non-conformist group that prospered during the Middle Ages, the destruction in Minereve was only one of the many Crusades led by the Roman Catholic Church, who, calling the Cathari “heretics,” persecuted them in town after town. The Cathars’ story, one of the unquenchable spirit of man, juxtaposed with the inhumanity of man, imparts new significance on Languedoc’s ruined towers and castles, some sitting high and seemingly inaccessible, on mountaintops.

Moscato Frizzante

100% Moscato

South Eastern Australia

Light. Sweet. Bubbly. What’s not to like about Berton Vineyard’s Moscato Frizzante? With aromas and flavors of orange blossoms, musk, peaches, and lychee, this wine is perfectly refreshing. Pairs well with fruit flan and orange chicken.

Tiki Pinot Noir

100% Pinot Noir

Marlborough ~ New Zealand

The 2008 vintage is perfumed and floral, exhibiting aromas of violets, lavender, cherry, black plum, licorice and lavender, with an underlying smokiness. On the palate, berry compote flavors integrate seamlessly with the subtle smoky oak, spice and savory impressions. Silky and elegant, Tiki Sound Pinot Noir is a star among stars. Drink now through 2012. Pairs well with pasta, pork, and other light meat dishes.

AVV Chardonnay

AVV Cabernet Sauvignon

92% Cabernet Sauvignon – 4% Cabernet Franc – 2% Merlot – 1% Malbec -1% Petit Verdot

Alexander Valley ~ California

The well-known Alexander Valley Vineyards has always produced a nice, clean typical Cabernet from its namesake valley in Sonoma County, but the 2009 is a cut above. This vintage produced a Bordeaux-like wine with greater depth and complexity than usual, featuring ripe cassis, black currant and graphite flavors that typify great Cabernet. Smoothly drinkable today and a great match with roasted meats, this is a real Cabernet-lovers Cabernet. A great success, and a great bargain at the price.

AVV Merlot

88% Merlot – 8% Cabernet Sauvignon – 4% Syrah

Alexander Valley ~ California

A lovely Merlot, soft and supple. Shows a fine balance of cherry fruit, herbs and sweet oak, with modest alcohol and dusty tannins. Very nice and elegant.
