- Villa Jolanda Prosecco 200ml Individual Bottle Product #23927 (In Stock)
-
-
Villa Jolanda Prosecco is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. The wine features lovely aromas of white flowers, orchard fruits, and a touch of mineral. Lightly sparkling with very pretty, small, bubbles, the wine is full of flavor - peach, ripe apple, lemon zest, and a nice mineral streak. Fruity and crisp, the wine finishes with a touch of mineral and yellow apple. A fantastic wine to keep on hand for everyday celebrations or to stock up on for Holiday parties. Delicious!
- Ch Le Prieure St-laurent Bordeaux 375ml 2011 Product #26689 (In Stock)
-
-
No big name winemaker or famous vineyards here. Instead, just a tasty, juicy, mouthful of Bordeaux currant fruit with a whiff of fresh herb. Savory and satisfying and built to enjoy now on its own or with roasts or stews. Nice value.
- Guigal Cotes-du-Rhone 2009 375ml Product #25878 (In Stock)
-
-
"Vivid ruby. Complex aromas of red and dark berries, Indian spices and violet, with slow-building smokiness. Taut and focused on the palate, offering lively bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that pick up weight with air. Juicy and nicely concentrated Cotes du Rhone with strong finishing punch and lingering spiciness."International Wine Cellar 90 points
"There are 3.5 million bottles of the 2009 Cotes du Rhone red, which represents an amazing value. A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre, it comes primarily from the Plan de Dieu (Plain of God), which is situated northeast of Chateauneuf du Pape. This tank-aged, deep ruby/purple-colored, concentrated, fleshy, medium to full-bodied, supple offering reveals plenty of pepper, kirsch and black currant fruit intermixed with a notion of flowers. It is meant to be consumed during its first 2-3 years of life although I have tasted 10-year-old bottles that are still holding together."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Lustau Amontillado Los Arcos 375ml Product #24440 (In Stock)
-
-
A textbook Amontillado of great maturity. This sherry is full-bodied and dry with delightfully soft nutty flavors. Its palate gives a hint of wood and smoky raisins. Ideally served as an aperitif at room temperature, it is perfect as an aperitif or with tapas.
- Honig Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2011 375ml Product #26296 (In Stock)
-
-
This is yet another in a long line of fantastic Sauvignon Blancs from the good folks at Honig. This blend of 96% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscat and 3% Semillon has lovely aromas of orange blossom and grapefruit are accompanied by lemon, melon, peach and nectarine flavors that are ripe, juicy and refreshing. Medium bodied with a crisp, refreshing, slightly minerally finish. Just delicious stuff!
- Saintsbury Chardonnay Carneros 2010 375ml Product #26294 (In Stock)
-
-
A classic and classy Carneros Chardonnay with plenty of richness but fine balancing acidity. Works equally well at table or just to sip.
"There’s a bit of oak here, but not too much, giving a smoky, buttered toast richness to the orange, lime and pineapple fruit. It’s a rich, flashy Chardonnay, with crisp acidity and a clean, spicy finish."Wine Enthusiast 92 points
- Dom Vincent Dampt Chablis 2011 375ml Product #27035 (In Stock)
-
-
This is stony, pure, Chablis with plenty of crisp fruit and slatey mineral and just a touch of roundness from limited use of neutral oak. Creamy without any sign of heaviness and very nice length for a Village wine.
"A solidly complex and reasonably refined nose features notes of dried flowers, lemon zest, mineral reduction and a hint of iodine. There is good energy to the racy and well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess a seductive texture before terminating in a persistent, clean and moderately dry finish. This harmonious effort should mature quickly. Outstanding Top Value."Allen Meadows 89 points
- Calera Pinot Noir Central Coast 2011 375ml Product #27216 (In Stock)
-
-
The folks at Calera are all about limestone, and that stony, mineral, streak is what makes the pure and bright Pinot so captivating. Great finish here and real elegance.
"Calera’s 2011 Pinot Noir Central Coast wafts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries and mint. This is a fairly laid-back vintage for the wine, with less of the pure breed of the 2009 and 2010, but frankly that may be an unfair comparison as those wines were superb over achievers. The 2011 is more an inline performer. The tense, saline finish laced with pretty floral and spiced notes is lovely. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Justin Cabernet Paso Robles 2010 375ml Product #26297 (In Stock)
-
-
From the winery: Beautifully balanced, with attractive aromas of black fruit and spice. On the nose it presents an attractive mix of red and black fruit of currants, cherry and blackberry layered with spicy notes of anise, vanilla and with a subtle cedar character from an American oak influence. Complex with bright fruit of blackcurrant, cherry, and boysenberry mixed with licorice and subtle cedar notes on a long finish.
- Cristom Pinot Noir Willamette Mt. Jefferson 2010 375ml Product #26914 (In Stock)
-
-
Another winner from one of Oregon's best. As always, a bit of whole-cluster fruit adds complexity, as does 23 months in barrel (about 25% new). Lovely.
"Light, bright red. Red berry and floral scents are complemented by cinnamon and black tea. Racy and light on its feet, offering vibrant redcurrant and strawberry flavors and a touch of bitter herbs. Finishes tangy and lucid, leaving spice and floral notes behind."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- La Fleur D'or Sauternes 2010 375ml Product #26686 (In Stock)
-
-
Classic Sauternes flavors that won't break the bank! The aromas feature candied pineapple and lemon with a hint of creme caramel. Starts off bright and almost tangy before the sweet honey, candied fruit, and creme brulee flavors expand to coat your palate. Bright acidity freshens things at the end and lead to a long, gently sweet, finish.
- Duval Leroy Nv Brut 375ml Product #20790 (In Stock)
-
-
"There's a creamy edge to the quince, biscuit, honey and ginger flavors in this well-cut Champagne, which help to balance the firm acidity. Vibrant and expressive, with a zesty finish. Drink now through 2014."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Jackson Triggs Vidal Ice Wine 2008 Product #26675 (In Stock)
-
-
Sweet, rich, and luxurious Icewine from Canada's most decorated winery. "This richly textured wine displays fresh tropical aromas of papaya, mango and apricot. Bold fruit flavours balanced with fine acidity caress the palate and conclude with an exquisite silky finish." Winery notes.
- Pierre Paillard Bouzy Grand Cru Brut Nv 375ml Product #25072 (In Stock)
-
-
Coming from a very storied tradition of Bouzy Champagne producers, the Pierre Paillard Brut is one of the softest, prettiest Champagnes we've found in a long time. A blend of '06/'07 vintage Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chard fruit, Brut is has amazing aromas of fresh yellow pear and chalky mineral. The palate will blow you away with green apple and one of the softest textures you ever tasted. The wine finishes with flavors of soft cashews and genty caramalized pears.
"(60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, from Bouzy; based on 2007, with 20% reserve wine from 2006) Light, bright yellow. Ripe pear and redcurrant aromas are complicated by rose oil, anise and toasty lees. A hefty, palate-coating Champagne that offers pliant orchard fruit flavors and a touch of orange marmalade. Finishes smooth and broad, with very good sappy persistence. I'd serve this broad-shouldered Champagne with a richly sauced poultry dish or strong cheeses."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Poppiano Vin Santo Della Torre Grande 2005 500ml Product #25407 (In Stock)
-
-
This wine is made in the traditional manner, by aging for 3 years in small chestnut barrels in the eaves of the home of the winemaker. It offers flavors of baking spices, maple syrup, caramel and toffee. It is slightly sweet and is often served with biscotti as a simple dessert. And, with nearly 9 years of aging, it's drinking just perfectly right now!
- Grivault Meursault 2008 375 Ml Product #24786 (In Stock)
-
-
If you love Grivault’s Bourgogne Blanc and have never tried his “real” Meursault -- well, it’s time. The flavors and aromas in the Meursault are very similar to the Bourgogne but ratcheted up a notch. Hazelnuts, almond, butter, white flower and peach aromas and flavors plus a beguiling fresh mint note. Easy to drink now but with a good 5-10 years of development ahead of it.
- Veuve Clicquot Yellow Nv Brut 375ml Product #6203 (In Stock)
-
-
Fresh lemony flavors together with dark berry grapes bring out great tasting champagne. It is a classic, dry and elegant style with medium body. In a half bottle, this is the perfect amount for a glass for two before dinner. Wine News 92 Pts
- Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2009 375 Ml Product #24683 (In Stock)
-
-
Usually my personal favorite of the line-up (although 2007 Fonseca is pretty impressive!), the 2009 Taylor Fladgate delivers the Bordeaux-like elegance and class it's known for. On the nose black fruit with notes of raspberry and plum and hints of graphite and cedar. The flavors stay black with currant and cherry appearing plus dark licorice root, apple skin, and more graphite. The deep flavors stay over top of the firm, grippy, mouth-coating tannins that keep everything focused and almost elegant (if such a big wine can be elegant). Love it.
"Going back and forth, the Taylor's 2009 has a lighter nose than the 2007 with precise dark cherry, Seville orange, fresh fig and a hint of scorched soil. The palate is full-bodied packed with ripe black cherries, fresh fig and white pepper; very harmonious and focused although I feel that the 2007 has a little more depth and persistency. Very pretty and very pure, this Taylor's may well put on weight with a couple of years in bottle and merit a higher mark."Wine Advocate 95 points
- Dom De La Bergerie Quarts Du Chaume 1999 (500ml) Product #26739 (In Stock)
-
-
A stunning, fully mature, example of Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley’s top site for sweet wines - Quartes de Chaume. The rich, decadent, aromas show off notes of honey, chamomile, black tea, and quince. In the mouth, rich, opulent, but still vibrant with more honey and quince, a dash of dried herb, and a hint of peach with botrytis accents. Long, luscious and lovely.
- Fonseca Vintage Port 2009 375 Ml Product #24682 (In Stock)
-
-
If Croft is the Aussie Shiraz of the line, then Fonseca is the Napa Cabernet. The story here is all about power - powerful aromatics, powerful palate, powerful tannins. Big aromas feature dark black currant and plum accented by notes of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee with citrus and menthol overtones. In the mouth, firm and packed with muscular black fruit, dark chocolate, and licorice root flavors. As the velvet cloaked tannins well up on the finish, a beautiful floral note emerges as well. This probably isn't as fine as the 2007, but it's outstanding nonetheless!
"The Fonseca 2009 has a very ripe sweet prune and fig-tinged bouquet that is very precocious. Touches of smoke, raisin and dark plum begin to emerge with time, though it needs to evolve a little more cohesion. The palate is full-bodied with saturated tannins, luscious dark berried fruit, touches of pomegranate, fig and dates that lead to a gently grippy, persistent finish."Wine Advocate 93 points
