Best Buys of the Month

 

 

 

2010 Camernon Hughes Lot 313

Field Blend $10.99

Lot 313 has a wonderfully smoky nose interwoven with blueberry, raspberry, and kirsch. The palate is deeply concentrated with silky tannins and a rich, multi-faceted juicy finish. With framing acidity and a bold backbone playing off of the lively fruit, this wine is affable while showing great sophistication.  

 


2009 Marchese Montefusco Cabernet Sauvignon $6.99

Garnet violet color. Grilled green pepper, cassis jam, and dried lilac aromas are attractive. A very silky, and supple entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body of sour cherry, sweet pepper, and toasty cedar flavors. Finishes with tangy berry skin, custard, and graphite accented fade with moderate and integrated tannins.

 

    

2010 Perazzeta Sangiovese $14.99

This everyday wine has loads of bright juicy fruit and a smooth supple finish. It has a generous nose of sweet red berries with hints of rhubarb and roses. On the palate it gives up flavors of ripe cherries, strawberry preserves, and a touch of blueberries too. The finish is dynamic, initially showing a bit of sweetness coming from plenty of ripe fruit and no oak then transitioning into a touch of warm peppery spice. All in all it is a fantastic bottle of red.

 

 

 

         

2009 Brandborg Pinot Gris $18.99

Ripe and fruity, the 2009 echoes the flavors of the previous vintage, bringing in suggestions of pear, pineapple, green banana and papaya.  

 

 

    

 

2009 Vina Alicia Malbec $19.99

Deep purple in color, with a spicy aroma, plum, raisins, and dark cherry-like flavors. Tannins are soft, velvety, and sweet. Very elegant, full-bodied, and a long finish which shows off its splendor and richness.

 

 

 

 

2010 Stronghold Mandala Red $19.99

Maynard James Keenan is, for all intents and purposes, a Rock Star. The co-founder of rock music acts TOOL, a perfect circle, and Puscifer now enters into a new realm where he is an unknown ... winemaker. Stonghold Mandala Red Wine is a blend of 39% Cinsault, 25% Syrah, 25% Petite Syrah, 5% Counoise 4% Grenache, and 2% Viognier.

 

 

 

2010 Sean Minor Pinot Noir $19.99

This Carneros Pinot Noir is medium-bodied with cherry, cola, plum, and blueberry. It is well-structured and elegant, with lingering spicy/earthy notes and cherry flavors throughout the mid-pallet. The vanilla and toast integrates well with the silky round tannins on the lengthy finish.

 

 

 

  

2009 Joseph Carr Chardonnay Dijon Clone $18.99

This Chardonnay has bright aromas of apple, pear, vanilla, and butter. The fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavors blend smoothly with the creamy butter, vanilla, and toasty flavors of barrel fermentation. Aged on the lees in new French oak for 8 months imparts the oaky smoke vanilla flavors. 

 

 

2009 LOT 205 Winery Chardonnay $9.99

Showing a particularly ripe, generous aroma of baked apple, ripe citrus, pineapple, toasty oak and a touch of butterscotch, the wine is clearly intended for near-term drinking.

 

2009 The Pinot Project $14.99

The inaugural vintage of 2009 The Pinot Project drinks as an absolutely delicious, yet serious, Pinot Noir that any wine lover would be proud to pour liberally at their dinner table!  Hand-crafted from the finest California PINOT Noir grapes. Pure PINOT aromas and flavors -- black cherries kissed by oak and complimented by just the right amount of Asian spice. Extremely versatile with a host of your favorite dishes.
