Here is what we will be pouring…
Bohigas Cava NV Brut (Spain)
$14.99/Bottle or $13.99/Bottle on 6+
“Wine Advocate” Tasting Notes: 90 POINTS
“My favorite of the two sparkling Cavas is the non-vintage Brut Reserva Cava. Made from a classic blend (for this area) of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada planted in limestone and clay soils, the wine spends 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. It is an excellent value for consumers looking for alternatives to French Champagne. Lemon/lime, crushed rock and white currant notes are present in this crisp, elegant, refreshing, zesty, dry sparkler. Hints of wheat thins and brioche add complexity. Enjoy this medium-bodied offering over the next 1-2 years.” –Robert Parker
DUE TO OVERWHELMING POPULARITY THIS AWESOME CAVA IS BACK! BEST SPARKLING VALUE FOR YOUR BUCK!
Prisoner Wine Company “Blindfold” White (California)
$29.95/Bottle or $26.95/Bottle on 6+
“Wine Advocate” Tasting Notes: 93 POINTS
“A distinctive combination of 35% Chardonnay, 20% Roussanne, 20% Viognier and small quantities of Riesling, Semillon, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc, the 2012 Blindfold is a sleeper of the vintage. Reminiscent of the Sine Qua Non whites from further south, it bursts with honeyed, caramelized white fruits, rose petals and pineapple. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity, brilliant purity and a delineation that is uncommon for a wine with so much flavor, this beauty should drink well for 2-3 years. I hope we see more blends such as this.”
ANOTHER SOLID SHOWING FROM THE NEW PRISONER WINE COMPANY! PERFECT FOR THANKSGIVING!
Saxon-Brown “Durrell Vineyard” Chardonnay 2009 (Sonoma Coast)
$47.95/Bottle or $30/Bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Our 2009 Durrell Vineyard Chardonnay is made in our favored Burgundian style,highlighted by fresh citrus notes and a lovely wet-stone minerality. The 2009 vintage imprint is found in the slightly amplified lemon curd, pot de creme character. The perfect summer wine – with or without food.”
THIS IS FOR THE PURE CHARDONNAY FAN! A CLASSIC CHARDONNAY WITH PERHAPS THE BEST DISCOUNT YET WITH A SAVINGS OF OVER 37%! (WE CANNOT DISCLOSE THIS DISCOUNT ONLINE)
Morgan “Twelve Clones” Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
$27.95/Bottle or $21.95/Bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“This special wine demonstrates the power and finesse of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It displays aromas of black cherry, cola, and anise. Flavors of cranberry and pomegranate are complemented by notes of dates and sweet spices. Perfectly poised fruit/acid balance make this incredibly food-versatile. It is a wonderful accompaniment to roast chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef or lamb preparation.”
SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS HAVE BEEN MAKING STATEMENT FOR YEARS. SOME OF THE BEST PINOT NOIRS ARE VINTED HERE!
Fisticuffs Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 (Napa Valley)
$27.95/Bottle or $24.99/Bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“The 2011 Fisticuffs is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet with a touch of Petite Verdot and Petite Sirah. Aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, cedar, and rose complement a mouth coating palate of vine ripened blackberry and raspberry jam. The tannins are fine-grained and expansive, and slowly yield to mocha and candied pecans on the finish.”
NAPA VALLEY CABERNET FOR UNDER 25 BUCKS! THIS CAB HITS ON ALL LEVELS!
Gregory Graham Zinfandel 2010 (Lake County)
$24/Bottle or $21.60/Bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Ripe raspberry fruit with hints of dark chocolate, lavender and spearmint. Thick flavors of juicy ripe raspberry fruit puree with hints of orange zest and ginger.”
