Grayson Cabernet 2009

A bulldog of a wine, the Grayson Cab offers tons of wine for the money. It is one of our favorites for its classic character, deep and rich fruit, cedar notes, and subtle oak. Plenty of complexity for only $10.99!

Domaine du Pouy 2010

This is another killer value from France. It has wonderful snappy acidity, enticing lime and citrus fruit, and a touch of herbs. A very refreshing and clean blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard. Only $10.99!

Purato Nero D’Avola 2009

New Arrivals

Copain Tous Ensemble Syrah 2010

Region: Mendocino, California

Just arrived in the store. Wells Gutherie, winemaker, is producing some of the most interesting cool climate wines in California.  Never will his wines be called blockbusters or be described as a tour de force. They are about elegance, balance, and contorl. The 2010 Syrah is fresh and clean with hints of flowers, pepper, and crushed red berries.

$2699

Errazuriz Carmenere Single Vineyard 2009

Region: Aconcagua, Chile

Impressive Carmenere with tons of character, richness, polish, and complexity.  Offers a glimpse into the real strengths of Chile.

$2199

Three Saints Chardonnay 2008

Region: California

Big Staff Favorite! It is no secret that we are not fans of the fat and creamy style of California Chardonnay. Well, the times are changing and the styles are becoming more restrained, fresher, and more balanced.  The Three Saints is impressive with layers of smoke, minerals, citrus and melons, just a hint of oak, and fresh acidity.

$1799

Penfolds Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz 2008

Region: South Australia

"Glass-staining purple.  Assertive aromas of black raspberry, licorice and smoke.  Densely packed but lively, thanks to bright acidity and peppery spices.  Shows very good density and an array of red and dark berry flavors.  Finishes with supple tannins and very good persistence, with the dark berry note echoing.  There's an awful lot of fruit here, which makes this wine approachable now, but it's built to age." 90 Points, Steve Tanzer

$1999

Spottswoode Cabernet 2008

Region: Napa Valley, California

"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberries and black currants, good acidity and serious tannins as well as concentration. It is slightly more restrained and backward than the seamless, compelling 2007, but the 2008 possesses lots of stuffing as well as elegance married with purity, power and rare equilibrium. Drink it over the next 2-3 decade."

95+, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #192

Brovia Sori' del Drago Barbera

Brovia Sori' del Drago Barbera 2009

Region: Peidmonte, Italy

This was a huge hit with the staff when we tasted it.  It has plenty of lush fruit on the palate with tons of classic Brovia intensity. It certainly showcases the 2009 vintage. Killer juice.
