Vendor wants to move on to 2014!
We say, OK, we'll take the 25 cases of one of last years greatest values at a big discount! 2013 Poliziano Lohsa Morellino di Scansano Reg $17.99 “Great Value Sale” $9.99 M&M12 $99.99
“89pts Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Values of 2016”
85% Sangiovese – 15% Ciliegiolo Morellino is Sangiovese, the local name for that grape in the coastal Maremma region of Tuscany. In this bottling it’s blended with a small amount of Ciliegiolo, a fruity red that adds friendly lift. The wine was aged for eight months in a mix of used French barriques and tonneaux.
89pts WE The wood aging and youthful tannins encourage a thirty minute decanting, perhaps even as much as an hour, but after this the wine relaxes in a red-stained smile saturated with cherries and cherry bark, tobacco, and tea. Terrific acidity and squeaky tannins make this definitively a food wine, to be served especially with rich cuts of meats, aged cheeses, charcuterie, smoked whatever. Tasty now, and a few years in the bottle will do it additional good.
Federico Carletti, proprietor of Poliziano in Montepulciano, produces this wine from vineyards just a few miles from the sea. It reflects a coastal warmth and concentration as well as the trademark cherry aromas of ciliegiolo (15 percent of the blend). Aged eight months in used barrels and tonneaux, it feels balanced and energetic, with a clean, herbal finish.
We have never done much with South African Wines,
but wow, we had to buy all of this one! 2011 Rustenberg "John X Merriman" Proprietary Red Stellenbosch Reg $34.99 Sale $27.97
93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate This wine’s blend of five Bordeaux varieties is concentrated in cabernet sauvignon (55 percent) and merlot (37 percent). The 2011 John X Merriman was blended from 17 lots that were vinified separately and sees 20 months in new French oak. It is much more closed than the 2010 despite rigorous coaxing. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannin and a little more tension than the previous vintage, gradually building in the mouth toward an intense, white pepper, savory finish. I would give this five or six years in bottle because it may ultimately out-perform the 2010. Drink 2016-2024. (NM)
Rose keeps moving through the system
we went on the hunt for another great one and we found it! 2016 Gassier Sables D'azur Rose Reg $16.99 Sale $12.97
Natalie's Score: 91/100 Lovely balance in this light-bodied rosé that's packed with fresh field strawberry aromas. Bone-dry and refreshing. Finishes with white pepper. Pair with cold chicken sandwiches. Rosé food pairings: wine-braised duck, grilled goose breast in cherry wine sauce, duck breasts with bacon and onions.
This rosé from the Côtes De Provence, Gassier Sables' D'azur (2016) is light-bodied but not so the strawberry fruit and green herbs on the nose don’t shine through. Bone-dry and refreshing, the wine blend is Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. Pair with cold chicken sandwiches
Highly Rated Chardonnay!!

We had to grab the last 6cases left in the Market!!
You gotta try it! 2014 Mayacamas Mt. Veeder Chardonnay Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97
96 points Vinous The 2014 Chardonnay is brilliant. Lemon oil, white flowers, mint, almonds and smoke are all beautifully delineated in this transparent, super-finessed Chardonnay built on total finesse. The decision to pick a touch earlier plus the blocked malo style result in a focused, energetic Chardonnay that hits all the right notes. Every time I go to Mayacamas there is something new to see. The redevelopment of this historic estate proceeds at what looks like a very rapid pace, even if it will be many years before the results of the work being done today shows up in the wines. Mayacamas is most known for their epic Cabernet Sauvignons, but this year I was equally impressed with the whites, and I say that as someone who has never found the same level of excitement in those wines as I have in the reds. The new team headed by viticulturist Phil Coturri and winemaker Andy Erickson is doing important work in redeveloping the vineyard while keeping the healthier existing vines in production for as long as possible. Many of the improvements are noticeable in the whites already, where the wines tend to be more transparent and susceptible to less than ideal practices. (AG) (9/2015)
There is just something about Far Niente!
While the Cab price has hit new highs, we got a discount on the Chard!!
A winner!! 2015 Far Niente Napa Valley Chardonnay Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97
A benchmark California Chardonnay from vineyards located in the cool region of Coombsville, which enjoys unique protection from wind by the hills east of the city of Napa. Its gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils provide excellent drainage and produce elegant Chardonnay fruit. Tasting notes from the winery on the 2015 vintage: "The 2015 Far Niente Chardonnay presents fresh and bright aromatics of tropical fruit, melon and hints of fig. This vintage is beautifully balanced by lightly toasted oak. A silky entry develops into a smooth and rich midpalate. Deep flavors of toasted nuts support the bursting flavor of melon and light citrus accompanied by a long and mouth-filling finish."
Big scores on this richer buttery style!! 2014 Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97
JS 95 James Suckling Sliced green mango and lemon aromas, hints of flan and creme. Full body, very intense creamy texture and tangy acidity. Long and powerful finish. Electric. A great Napa chardonnay. Drink or hold
WW 94 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com The Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay is the standard-bearer of this grape variety in the Napa Valley and perhaps in the state of California. This wine has always been a consistent front-runner; 2014 is nothing short of outstanding. Bright with ripe apples, dried peaches and aromatic flowers in the aroma, this wine's long and persistent flavors following by its exceptionally long, crisp finish makes it a natural pairing with wild salmon sashimi. Drinks very well now. (Tasted: February 19, 2016, Napa, CA)
WS 93 Wine Spectator Elegance and finesse define the pear, melon and honeysuckle flavors, which are lingering and persistent. The creamy texture features a touch of pithy citrus skin, adding to the nuance and complexity. Drink now through 2022.
RP 93 The Wine Advocate First, their non-malolactic 2014 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch comes from a cool-climate vineyard in Carneros. This is aged in 75% oak casks and 25% stainless steel, which seems to be the perfect marriage for showcasing this wine’s rich fruit. The wine has loads of tangerine oil, citrus blossom, a hint of apples and orange marmalade. The oak is subtle, the wine medium to full-bodied, pure and rich. (This is the official tasting note, but I shared two bottles with some friends of mine at the casual Market restaurant in St. Helena, and it was a huge hit.)
Highly allocated
only 1cs left!! 2014 Ridge Vineyards "Estate" Santa Cruz Chardonnay Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97
95 Points Decanter!
93 points Vinous The 2014 Chardonnay Estate opens with inviting aromatics. Bright, floral and nuanced, the 2014 offers striking complexity and energy. There is a hint of reduction, but that is not a negative. Readers who enjoy focused Chardonnays will find much to admire in the 2014. This is a gorgeous wine from Ridge. Lemon, white pepper and mint add the closing layers of nuance. In 2014, Ridge bottled less of their Monte Bello Chardonnay than the norm, which may be one of the reasons the Estate is so expressive. (AG) (7/2016)
93 points Wine Spectator *Highly Recommended* Starts assertively oaky, with cedar and matchstick notes, but transitions into a more compelling elixir, offering a rich mix of pear, melon, honeydew and spice flavors as the oak recedes and lets the fruit come forth. Drink now. 3,275 cases made. (7/2016)
The Montrachet of the west coast!!
Do not miss! 2013 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello" Santa Cruz Chardonnay Reg $69.99 Sale $59.97!!
95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate A true gem, the 2013 Chardonnay Monte Bello, which was barrel fermented and aged 17 months in mostly American oak, offers sensational notes of white peach, citrus blossom, mint, ginger and baking spices. It’s a big, rich wine, yet it never puts a foot wrong, is impeccably balanced and stays fresh, pure and focused. Drink it anytime over the coming decade or more. (JD) (10/2016)
95 points Vinous The 2013 Chardonnay Monte Bello is exceptional. Rich, layered and creamy, the 2013 exudes depth. Readers will have to wait at least a few years before the 2013 hits its stride, but all the elements are in the right place. Yellow orchard fruit, mint, sweet spices and flowers are all fused together in an exceptional, racy Chardonnay loaded with class and personality. Today, the 2013 is a total knock-out. The 2,000 case production for the Monte Bello Chardonnay is a record high for Ridge. This is an absolutely stellar set of wines from Ridge. For starters, Ridge enjoyed what I can only describe as a sensational vintage in 2013, especially for the Bordeaux varieties. The Cabernet Estate and Monte Bello are both exceptional, while a number of wines in the Historic Vineyard series are compelling. Zinfandel fans will find much to like in the 2014s, a vintage that produced super-elegant wines. Of course, the biggest news at Ridge is Paul Draper's retirement, but then again, that has been in the works for so long that it was hardly a surprise when it was formally announced earlier this summer. As one of the foremost ambassadors of American wine, Draper leaves behind a rich legacy at Ridge going back to 1969 and a team that is more than capable of leading the winery into the next generation. (AG) (7/2016)
2015 Cakebread Napa Valley Chardonnay $39.97
2016 Cakebread Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc $27.97
The 2016 Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of 97% Sauvignon Blanc & 3% Sèmillon. Always a crowd-pleaser, this fresh, vibrant white is full of pink grapefruit, melon, meyer lemon, and white peach. Succulent, harmonious, and lively, it pairs well with lighter summer fare. Cheers!

93 Points The Wine Advocate - "A blend of predominately Cabernet Sauvignon (76%) and Merlot (12%) with some Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, the 2012 Cyrus has a deep garnet color and slowly evolving nose of crème de cassis, plum preserves and cedar box with hints of underbrush, pencil lead, cloves and charcoal, plus a waft of bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate delivers tons of muscular fruit with a firm frame of grainy tannins and lively acid, finishing long with plenty of berry preserves, herb and earth layers."

2014 Pape-Clément, Pessac-Léognan Reg $149.99 Sale $99.97 (Limited)
96 points James Suckling Intense blackberry and blueberry aromas as well as mushroom undertones. Violets, too. Sweet tobacco. Full-bodied and layered with polished tannins. Very long and beautiful. Give it two or three years to show what it has but already a beauty. (2/2017)
94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2014 Pape Clement has quite a potent bouquet with lavish red cherry, kirsch, iodine and pastille-like scents, the oak probably needing another couple of years to fully integrate. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, quite refined and focused with appreciable tension towards the finish that comes laden with succulent, tobacco-infused blackberry fruit. This is a sumptuous and yet refined Pape-Clement that demonstrated the most matière or substance out of all the Pessac-Léognan 2014s that I tasted, except for the Haut-Brion. It is certainly a wine destined for a long future. (NM) (3/2017)
94 points Vinous The 2014 Pape Clément is strikingly beautiful. Dark, sumptuous and creamy, it exudes class. Black cherry, mocha, spice, espresso, menthol and new leather are all pushed forward in a spherical, rich wine that captivates all the senses. As always, this is an overt style, but the purity of the fruit comes through nicely now that the oak has started to integrate. There is plenty of the Magrez trademark richness, but done in a slightly more restrained style than in the past. This is a gorgeous wine by any measure. (AG) (2/2017)
94 points Wine Enthusiast *Cellar Selection* Ripe and richly fruity, the wine is full bodied with great acidity as well as firm tannins. It will keep for many years. Bold tannins and a fine tension between the fruit and acidity are all promising for the future. (RV) (4/2017)
93 points Wine Spectator Lavish in profile, this sports a range of warm fruitcake, anise and black tea aromatics followed quickly by a gush of raspberry, plum and boysenberry confiture notes. Velvety, showing ample structure through the finish, pulling the fruit and wood notes together. A rare bird, stylistically, in this generally understated vintage. (JM) (3/2017)
2014 CHÂTEAU DU GRAND SOUSSANS’ MARGAUX Cordier (Bordeaux) Reg $34.99 Sale $24.97
Signature Margaux, a great representative of the region. Supple and seductive Left Bank Claret with luscious flavours of crème de cassis, blueberry and mulberry. Notes of truffle, graphite and violets. Plush, perfumed and lively
Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Merlot 30%. On the nose, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas appear with woody notes. On the mouth, we guess the very good maturity despite the youth of the vintage. Pleasant to drink now, this great wine can also be kept in cellar. Chateau du Grand Soussans, Margaux from France is my favorite one with creamy, floral bouquet. It is supple, full-flavoured deep red wine with lasting tannins on the finish. This wine goes well with grilled and roasted meat and cheese.
2014 Château Vieux Lavergne Saint-Emilion Reg $29.99 Sale $19.97
Gold Medal, Conours Lyon 2016 The Château Vieux Lavergne spreads over 3,30 ha of sandy-gravelly land. The techniques used for several years are continuated and ameliorated : every two ranks are filled in with grass between, fragmented selection, manual leaves thin-outing, green harvest, grape selection of the harvest in the vineyard and cellar. Our vineyard respects a fair ecoligic agriculture practice.
5500 feet / hectare Merlot 75% Cabernet franc 15% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% The robe is bright garnet colored and shiny, berry and blackcurrant nose, the wine shows a very smooth taste combined with a good intensity of the substance, a round and rich palate with ripe tannins and persistent fruct.
The steaks arrived with perfect timing! My favourite French wine, St Emilion, was next on the menu, and the steak was guaranteed to be the perfect companion. I poured it with much anticipation, gave the glass a good swirl to get some air into it and then gave it try. “Winner!” I declared. Probably a bit too loudly actually, as the table next to us gave us strange looks – jealous looks most likely, as we had this wine and massive steaks! “High octane” was what Alan noted, and I think it was unanimous. A very good example of St Emilion this was – quite good straight out of the bottle, but it did improve slightly after a few minutes in the glass. That’s about all the time we were prepared to spend waiting for this wine to age, as it did not last long at all.
2014 Château Maison Blanche Médoc Reg $19.99 Sale $15.97
88pts AG 88pts WE Excellent Value 80% Merlot! Vibrant, with nicely packed raspberry, fig and blackberry fruit carried by mouthwatering acidity and well-embedded structure. Lots of anise, spice and tar frames the finish. Will drink well for 5 more years
2015 Château Baruaud Blanc Reg $9.99 Sale $7.97
Entre-Deux-Mers Bordeaux blanc, but well-made, refreshing and cheap: Under $10.. Compared to most New World Sauvignon Blanc wines, it's a pretty good deal. Tasting notes : In the refreshing taste of wine reveals bright citrus tones and light creamy note.
2015 Château Baruaud Rouge (Wood cs) Reg $9.99 Sale $7.97
Varietal: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon - 30% Merlot - Average age of the vines: 30 years
Tasting Notes: This vintage reveals a garnet red color with purple tints, a fresh red fruits nose, and a round and supple palate with soft tannins.
2010 Bordeaux Arriving Next Week!!! Week of 8/13/17 2010 was an absolutely incredible vintage for Bordeaux and anytime we are presented any offers my eyes are immediately drawn to that vintage. While most of the pricing on the recognizable classics are through the roof, it is still possible to find a few diamonds in the rough. We think we have done exactly that!!
Déjà vu! I think it was about 2005, we purchased a bunch of 2000 vintage of this second label of the famous Chateau Pichon Lalande. Many customers raved about this wine for many years to come. Since then the second wines of famous estates have upped the game considerably as much less of the first wines are produced resulting in much better grape quality being used in the second labels than in the past. Pichon Lalande is one of the most revered estates in Pauillac, and Pauillac is the undisputed king of the Medoc. The 2010 is just starting to come out of its shell and show its quality and class. We think this is an absolute steal, especially if you are accustomed to the flavors of a great Pauillac and understand how much they cost today!
2010 Reserve de la Comtesse Lalande, Pauillac Reg $89.99 Sale $64.97 699.99 (12)
51% Cabernet Sauvignon,46% Merlot,3% Petit Verdot Alcohol 13.5%
Château Pichon-Longueville is separated it from its across the road neighbour by its charming Château which is currently being used as a residence by the owner, Madame de Lencquesaing. The wines strike a beautiful balance between the power of Pauillac and the richer, St-Julien. Not surprising as their vineyards fall over the two appellations! The Reserve de la Comtesse, and what a year to do so with 2010 proving to be one of the greatest vintages in modern history. The greatness of the vintage has easily pushed up second label wines just like this into stratospheric heights of quality and class.
Reserve de la Comtesse has, in our opinion, hit the nail on the head this year. Beautifully styled and refined with a textbook Pauillac nose and wonderfully fine tannins this is a very good and handsome second wine
Tasted alongside the grand vin, the 2010 Reserve de la Comtesse is now a very serious wine in its own right. A wonderfully exotic and expressive nose of cassis, apricot and classic Pauillac notes of pencil lead and cedar. A gorgeous satin-like texture envelopes layers of fruit. Cassis, blackberry and chocolate notes are underpinned by super-fine tannins and refreshing acidity. There is a real swagger about this wine, showing balance, purity and grace, but with a definite wow factor.
The Reserve de la Comtesse 2010, a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, has a refined bouquet of dark cherries, plum and blackcurrant fruit that you might describe as "neat and tidy". The palate is medium-bodied with quite a plush, generous entry thanks to that ripe Merlot. It is a forward wine for a 2010, very approachable with a fresh finish. It should drink well over the next 10 years.
Very dark crimson with a bright rim. Exciting and intriguing with a balsam note on the nose. Round and charming already – and such gloss! Some light saltiness. Very savoury after all the ripeness. Insistently gorgeous. 17/20, Jancis Robinson, Jul 2015
90/100, Neal Martin Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. The Reserve de Comtesse has a pleasant but austere bouquet with dusky black tobacco-infused fruit all with fine definition and vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with a satisfying Merlot component neatly offsetting the ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Good body here, pleasing length with a dash of spice on the finish 11/2014
91 points James Suckling Very polished tannins that caress the palate. Full body. It's fruity, pretty and refined. The mineral and berry character comes through in a subtle way. Second wine of Pichon Lalande. Better in 2016. (3/2013)
90 points Wine Spectator Vibrant and silky, this slides down almost too easily, with delicious red and black currant fruit laced with hints of anise, violet and black tea. A flicker of singed balsa wood keeps the finish going along. (3/2013)
90/100, Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Nov 2012The Reserve de la Comtesse 2010, a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, has a refined bouquet of dark cherries, plum and blackcurrant fruit that you might describe as "neat and tidy". The palate is medium-bodied with quite a plush, generous entry thanks to that ripe Merlot. It is a forward wine for a 2010, very approachable with a fresh finish. It should drink well over the next 10 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate If you're looking for something much more drinkable, then check out the blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2010 Comtesse de Lalande, the second wine of this estate. Sweet mulberry, black cherry, licorice, and forest floor notes dominate this medium-bodied, fleshy, soft wine, which should be drunk over the next decade. (RP) (2/2013)
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Good bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas of black cherry, chocolate, game, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Began a tad tart in the mouth, but grew suppler with air while maintaining good grip to its high-pitched flavors of black raspberry, black cardamom and flowers. Not a particularly ripe 2010 but sexy, energetic and firmly built... (ST) (7/2013)
"Vibrant and silky, this slides down almost too easily, with delicious red and black currant fruit laced with hints of anise, violet and black tea. A flicker of singed balsa wood keeps the finish going along."Wine Spectator
Producer Information: The estate was founded in 1689 by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan and the vineyard acquired its name a few years later when his daughter Thérèse received it as part of her dowry on her marriage to Jacques de Pichon Longueville, the first President of the Parliament of Bordeaux. It was divided upon the death of Baron Joseph in 1850 between his five children. However, only two of his children finally inherited the vineyards; Raoul and Virginie. Virginie married Count Henri de Lalande, giving her the title, and took over control of the domain. Her passion and the quality of her management made her a strong personality in the Médoc and she very much left her mark on the domain. In the 1855 classification, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande acquired the status of 2eme Cru Classé.
Vineyards: The 75 hectares (185 acres) of this vineyard border the property of Château Latour and stretch south of Pauillac towards the Commune of Saint Julien, from whence it gets its extraordinary charm. The exceptional character of the wines produced here, are distinguished by their elegance and finesse. The average age of the vines is 35 years, the sub-soils are made up of deep layers of gravel, and the top soils are ploughed. All these factors work in favour of the terroir and the production of high quality wines. In these conditions, the water constraints created by drought can generate higher wine quality, as long as the vine doesn’t overly suffer stress.
Winemaking: The temperatures were carefully regulated during the fermentation and the maceration to obtain an aromatic and silky expression of the vintage. Overall, the alcohol-tannin-acid balance was excellent. Malolactic fermentation was minimal due to low temperatures. Maceration: 18 to 24 days.
Vintage Information: A cold and dry winter led to a later than usual bud break but under excellent climatic conditions. Flowering, however, was not as ideal with instances of coulure and millerandage in Pauillac. Summer saw sunny days and cool nights but very little rain. This caused an earlier ripening than normal, although thanks to the age of the vines on the estate, these conditions can infact cause a higher quality wine. The picking period was under ideal conditions with a good crop of small and consequently very concentrated grapes.
Tasting Note:Terrific texture and opulence, forward fruit, sweet tannin, and a lush personality are dense along with copious quantities of sweet berries, roasted coffee, underbrush, black currant, and black cherry fruit. Sensationally pure, textured, and full-bodied, this will be a flamboyant, showy offering in its youth, but it is capable of lasting 20-30 years.
Food Pairing:Lamb, red meats, cheese, truffle and chocolate. Serving Suggestion:Serve at room temperature.
Region AOC Pauillac, Bordeaux
A terrific example of St Emilion without the luxury price tag! Barde-Haut was recently promoted to Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe, based on the strength of the last decade of vintages. And 2010 may be the height of their achievments!
2010 Barde-Haut, St-Emilion Reg $69.99 Sale $59.97 Pre-Sell $599.99 5cs OWC only
With all of the buzz surrounding the 2015 Bordeaux campaign, it got me thinking about the last truly great Bordeaux vintage, 2010. Amazingly, if you know who to ask, there are still fantastic 2010s in importers warehouses. In fact, I was just able to secure 5 cases of one of my favorite under-the-radar estates, Chateau Barde-Haut 2010. From St. Emilion, Barde-Haut was recently promoted to Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe, based on the strength of the last decade of vintages. 2010 was, to my mind, a coming out party for Barde-Haut. Drinking beautifully, from a great vintage, at one of the lowest prices you’ll find in the country. A terrific example of Bordeaux without the luxury price tag!
93pts AG "Good red-ruby. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, singed plum and mocha, complicated by a sexy leesy quality. Plush, dense and creamy, with excellent depth and no rough edges to the black raspberry, blueberry and licorice flavors. Serious but sweet tannins coat the front teeth..." - AG
93 points Wine Spectator Still a bit compact, with blueberry coulis, fig and blackberry paste notes tightly wound, backed by tangy black licorice, singed apple wood and tar on the finish, which features a very sleek structure and a buried iron note. This has good vivacity and should unwind nicely in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2030. (Web-2013)
92 points Jeff Leve Starting to open up and deliver licorice, espresso bean, earth and sweet, dark cherries with ease, the wine is full bodied, concentrated and ripe, with freshness to the fruits, licorice and earthy fruits in the end notes.03/019/17
91-92 points James Suckling This is very concentrated, with a treacle tart and chocolate character. Almost raisiny. Full and velvety. Intense. (5/2011)
92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Loads of blueberry, black cherry and dusty, loamy soil notes as well as hints of herbs, licorice and incense jump from the glass of this well-endowed, supple wine. Tannins are sweet and the acidity sufficient to give delineation to the wine. Full-bodied and impressively endowed, it should drink well over the next 10-15 years. (2/2013)
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Additional remarks from Robert Parker: "The 2010 Barde-Haut is a delicious, seductive style of St.-Emilion made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Proprietress Helene Garcin-Leveque purchased the estate in 2000 and has been pushing quality ever since." (02/2013)

Plush, dense and creamy, with excellent depth and no rough edges to the black raspberry, blueberry and licorice flavors. Serious but sweet tannins coat the front teeth. This very persistent wine has the balance to give early pleasure but should hold nicely for 10 to 15 years. - Stephen Tanzer
This vineyard sits near Troplong Mondot, at the eastern edge of St. Emilion. It is made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, and is filled with blueberry, black cherry and dusty tannins, along with notes of licorice and incense. Delicious
2010 Clos Lunelles Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97 $549.97 (2cs only)
Jeff Leve 92 points - Tasted May 7, 2013 Licorice, truffle, jammy dark berries and chocolate open to a plush, polished, rich wine of pleasure. This will drink well young.
RP 91 points Gerard Perse(Pavie:Monbousquet) is widely credited with the excellence of this small (8.5 hectare) estate - a considered effort to increase quality of fruit hand-in-hand with the low yields acquired from the vines, has conspired in wines of pedigree and immense satisfaction in drinking. The wine sits at 14.4% alcohol but shows a much deeper concentration and power than expceted. It's a wine that from 2010 will cellar for a modest period, though the higher Merlot content does provide an accessiblity too.
In the words of Robert Parker, Clos Lunelles “has been the reference point for how terrific Cotes de Castillon wines can be.” Owners Gérard and Chantal Perse bring the same commitment and style that they bring to their other numerous estates (including Chateau Pavie and Monbousquet) to Lunelles, making it one of our most sought-after Bordeaux values nearly year. Parker on 2010: “This is clearly another very great vintage in Bordeaux… slightly better than 2000 and as impressive as 2005.” Clos Lunelles is a low-yielding estate with vines close to forty years of age. Making the wine is quite laborious, including an 8-day cold soak, temperature-controlled maceration and aging in 60% new French oak. Just about 1800 cases are made for the world’s consumption, and as you might expect, they fly off the shelves. 2010 Clos Lunelles 750ML “Wonderful nose of blueberries and clay with dark berries. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a very refined and tight tannin structure. Love the quality. Long finish.” 92 points, James Suckling Parker Review: A sensational wine made from 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc from yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, and by far the most alcoholic of all the […]
2010 LA DAME DE MALESCOT (Margaux) Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97 $279.97 (1cs 6pk only)
The second wine of Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry, La Dame de Malescot boasts a dark ruby color with violet reflections. The indulgent bouquet is rich with fruity and spicy notes on a tobacco background. Fine plum and a touch of chocolate emerge on the palate. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, it is juicy, with good complexity and well-integrated tannins. This wine has strong ageing potential. Le Dame de Malescot, a second wine that truly echoes the house style and, in the two vintages we have experienced, is not that far off of the flagship. The 2010, honestly, was a little shy at first reflecting the more structured 2010 vintage, as it should. We liked it a lot but sensed it still had another gear. Four days later the bottle was still sitting there and we tried it again. It had blossomed to be a slightly more minerally version of the 2009 and showed absolutely no oxidation. This is a very exciting effort with some aging potential as well! A blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet, it shows the classic Margaux nose of suave dark fruits, violets, tobacco and chocolate. Sleek and polished, this on can age, but will perform now with a good decant and some air. Seriously aristocratic for the fare, it doesn't appear the press has seen much of this wine either. So it will be our little secret.

STARLIGHT Distillery Ted Huber has been distilling a long time. While many of today’s craft distillers were running around in diapers, Ted was running spirit through the imported German still at his family’s farm in Boden, southern Indiana. The Huber family have been farming this land since 1843, when Simon Huber emigrated from Baden-Baden in Germany, bringing with him his extensive knowledge of farming and winemaking. Ted Huber cut his teeth in fruit production and winemaking and later decided that he should begin distilling the fruits of his labor into brandies, carrying on the practice as his ancestors did in Germany. It was 2001 when Ted fired up his still for the first time, and since then his brandies have won critical acclaim. Producing a world-class spirit on a small scale takes a lot of skill and perseverance, but it’s the attention to detail that Ted, Jason Heiligenberg (Master Distiller at Huber) and his closely knit team have put into their work that really shines through.

is being discontinued!! We ran this promotion a few months ago and it was a smashing success.
The highlight for us was this newly released "Santa Barbara" version of the Mer Soleil reserve Chards. A
little more acidity and a little less richness than the Santa Lucia(considered the normal release)
it was our favorite of the 2 by far and sold out twice!!
We just found out that the winery felt that having two wines with such similar names and packages it was just too confusing for the consumer and are no longer going to release it!!
Spectacular Chardonnay!!
2014 Mer Soleil "Reserve" Santa Barbara Chardonnay Reg $34.99 Sale $19.97
91pts WW - "Some wines are so good at working the upscale wine-drinking crowd. The 2014 Mer Soleil Reserve Santa Barbara County Chardonnay offers pure imbibing pleasure. It shows enticing cream and attractive ripe apples and peaches in the nose. On the palate, the wine's silkiness makes it easy to enjoy. Ready now, one could pair this one with Dungeness crab with drawn butter. Drinks very well now.(Tasted: July 14, 2016, San Francisco, CA) "
90 TCHI (9/2016) This new Santa Barbara bottling is the best Mer Soleil we've tasted in quite some time. The Wagner family (the folks from Caymus) have introduced this Santa Barbara Chardonnay to go along with their well known Santa Lucia offering. The labels are essentially the same, so it's a bit confusing, but it is definitely worth seeking this one out. Look for flavors of ripe red and yellow apple, nectarine, pineapple, butterscotch, vanilla and baking spice. This new bottling offers the overt lushness that Mer Soleil is known for, wrapped in a fresher and more vibrant structure.

2014 Bodegas El Nido Clio Jumilla Reg $44.99 Sale $39.97 btl
The wine is a blend of 70% old vine Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that was barrel-aged for 22-26 months in French and American oak. It bears Clio's hallmark opulence, with bold aromas and flavors, a thick, dense palate, and a long finish.
A powerful, decadent wine.
Winemaker Note: “Deep ruby color and strong aromas of black currants, blueberry, and smoke. Smooth mouth-feel, with concentrated fruit, big and powerful while not being heavy, wooded earth, spice, and great structure and depth. The finish goes on and on, with lingering fruit and pepper.” – Chris Ringland Region: Jumilla

Corton in fantastic length! Bouchard’s Corton-Charlemagne is one of the smartest buys in the world of White Burgundy. Out of Bouchard’s entire white collection, their Corton-Charlemagne is a wine that I think of as being very special.
I think this for two reasons – outright quality and outrageous value.
As much as I love Bouchard’s Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet “La Cabotte,” I always turn to the Corton-Charlemagne for offers because the value is so compelling
Corton-Charlemagne is one of the most epic of all the Grand Crus combining power, deep minerality and an incredibly ageworthy structure. Of course, this breeding and grandeur comes at a cost. The extreme example is Coche-Dury’s Corton-Charlemagne, which goes for over $1,000 upon release.
2014 Bouchard Pere et Fils Corton Charlemagne Reg $199.99 Sale $149.97 (last 20btls!!)
94-97 points Fine Wine Review: "2014 is a great vintage for white wines in Burgundy, and this selection from Bouchard is part of the proof... The wine shows good tension along with Corton-Charlemagne ampleness with depth, purity, length, penetration, and minerality. It should mature into a splendid wine and a classic CC. (1/27/16)"
2014 Bouchard Pere et Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. Lovely aromas of white flowers and grassy elements dominate on the nose, leading to a rich, exuberant full-bodied wine, laced with acidity and delicate minerals. A Corton-Charlemagne to match the best of Bonneau du Martray. Excellent.
Score: 94 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (63), June 2016. Mild notes of wood and reduction mask the underlying fruit though I can say that it appears to be ripe. Otherwise there is outstanding volume and concentration to the big-bodied and openly muscular flavors that exhibit evident power and punch on the hugely long finale. This is presently very compact and like the Perrieres very clearly built to age. I should note that while this is certainly going to need time it is not especially austere and I suspect that it will begin to drink well after only 5-ish years or so if that’s your preference
94 points Vinous Steve Tanzer: Highly complex, soil-driven aromas of lime blossom, menthol, white pepper, mint and musky flowers. Utterly seamless and suave but very youthfully unevolved, with fresh citrus and mineral flavors complicated by sexy brown spices. A wonderfully subtle, lemony, penetrating wine with great flavor intensity and near-perfect acid balance. Most impressive today on the very subtle, slowly mounting, ultimately palate-staining finish. Conveys an impression of nobility without huge weight or power. Bouchard has bottled a splendid set of grand crus in 2014. (ST) (9/2016)
93 points Wine Spectator Well-marked by new oak, along with lemon, white peach and mineral flavors, this gets more integrated as the lively acidity drives the long aftertaste. Give this six months to a year to really sing. (BS) (7/2016)
2015 is an amazing Vintage in the Loire Valley! In stock very limited quantities!!
Pure Sauvignon Blanc at its finest!
Vines grown on steep slopes, 50 years in age, produce this sophisticated wine that will transform anyone into a polished cosmopolitan, able to proclaim: “winter grass, candied pear, green apple, liquid slate sizzling with bracing acidity. La Côte des Monts Damnés is the most famous vineyard in the town of Chavignol and translates to “The Damned Mountain.” The slopes are steep and constant erosion reveals a strong presence of sea shells, a major component of the kimmeridgian soils that contributes to Sancerre’s unique profile” The Mont Damne is always more tightly wound and displays an intense minerality. The wines come from very old vines (avg 50 yrs) on one of the steepest slopes. The wine is fermented in neutral 500 liter oak barrels on indigenous yeasts, bottled without filtration.
Fulton 300 Mosaic IPA Voted #1 Beer from Minnesota!! Founded in 2009, and one of the most awarded breweries in the country! A homebrewing bunch out of a South Minneapolis garage and contract brewing at a small Wisconsin brewery. Their dream was to build a real Minneapolis brewery of their own in the next 5-10 years, and quit their day jobs along the way. They never guessed they’d build two Minneapolis breweries in three years. Looks like brewing some of the finest and being wrong can sometimes be awesome!
Fulton 300 Mosaic IPA Reg $12.99 Sale Price $8.97 (4pk) Originally brewed as a one-off in celebration of the 300th batch at our original downtown Minneapolis brewery, this West Coast IPA was so well received we had to make it available year-round. It's built on a base of Pilsner malt and heavily hopped with Mosaic, one of our favorite -- and unfortunately nearly impossible to procure -- hop varieties. At 74 IBU and 7% ABV, 300 is pure hop candy Fulton Sweet Child of Vine IPA Reg $9.99 Sale Price $6.99 (4pk) Balanced, complex, and approachable: IPA as it should be.: Move over grapes. We’re celebrating the world’s most glorious vine. Generous quantities of CTZ and Glacier hops are added throughout the boil. Then, late in fermentation, we infuse the Sweet Child with another dose of Glaciers, imparting a bouquet of hop aroma that veritably bursts forth upon serving. But don’t let all this talk of hops mislead you. The Sweet Child has a serious malt backbone to stand up to all those hops, creating a delightful balance that will keep you coming back for more. It’s an IPA, Fulton-style. Fulton Lonely Blonde Reg $9.99 Sale Price $6.99 (4pk)
The Lonely Blonde wears a delicate fragrance of German noble hops, and slips a touch of white wheat between American pale and crystal malts for a smooth, sensuous body, fair complexion, and a pleasantly lacy white head. Crisp carbonation slinks the Lonely Blonde quickly away, and you’re left with nothing but a slight lingering sweetness as you contemplate how The Lonely Blonde can be so beautiful on so many levels New Seasonal! Fulton 72 Stretch Gose StyleReg $9.99 Sale Price $6.99 (4pk) 72 miles of the Mighty Mississippi River supplying our brewing water and inspiration! 72 Stretch is a clean fermented Gose style ale. The malt bill is comprised of pilsner malt and 35% wheat with a touch of Acidulated and Munich malts. We utilize Herkules, Perle, & Summer hops to create a gentle bitterness and pleasant hop aroma. We also add Mediterranean Sea salt & coriander to the kettle to create the classic Gose characteristics. We ferment the beer with a clean ale strain and then dry-hop the beer with lemon & lime zest. The result is a refreshing, citrus-forward ale with hints of melon & stone fruit.

NV Moingeon 1415 Bl de Blancs Brut Methode Tradition N/V Reg $15.99 Sale $8.47 $99.99cs(12)
An excellent sparkling wine at a knockout price and named after the year of the battle of Agincourt—rather surprisingly for a French wine. Made in exactly the same way as Champagne itself, the only difference being that the grapes come from Vaucluse and Charente. The perfect fizz for parties, weddings or just a glass for yourself, and a lot better than many Champagnes at twice the price. Formed in 1895, Moingeon is recognized as one of the top producers of Cremant de Bourgogne. Methode traditionelle refers to the old production method traditionally used in champagne. This process requires great care and patience but produces wines of far greater sophistication than those that are simply tank fermented.The '1415' Blanc de Blancs is a “methode traditionnelle” sparkling wine, meaning that the wine has been made in exactly the same way as a bottle of Champagne. The only difference is that the grapes are not from vines growing within the Champagne region
Toto frutti: The beginning of a beautiful friendship: Everything will be fine when crisp Barbera cherry enveloped by Merlot heat rises in your nose. In taste the same game: Agile Barbera has a fantastic forward boldly, but thanks to the silky kind of mother Merlot the little hothead and the palate alike feel a fiddle. Toto bene! 60% Barbera 20% Merlot 20% Cabernet. Here two worlds meet and combine to create a new taste dimension. An exciting idea behind this unusual Cuvée: The Barbera has great fruit and good structure. But the animating acidity in this variety is to many wine drinkers too strenuous. Blending Cabernet and Merlot which have a soft and mellow character, result is a dream of plums and cherries with just the right balance between soft, warm overtones
Great Value White Wine from Spain! High Quality Albarino! Try it you'll like it!
2015 Coral do Mar Rias Baixas Reg $15.99 Sale $8.47 $99.99cs(12)
This estate grown and bottled Albariño shows typical stone fruit and citrus characters as well as tropical notes, all held together by a crisp backbone of clean, fresh acidity. From the region of Rias Baixas of Galicia in the westernmost corner of Spain comes this distinguished wine, considered to be one of the significant undiscovered white wines of the world. Rumored to be a descendant of the Riesling grape, and brought to Spain by German missionaries in the Middle Ages, Albariño is one of the few Spanish grape varieties produced as a varietal and indicated as such on labels.
Coral do Mar Albarino is produced from a single vineyard site 150m above sea level on granite and sandy soils, which impart minerality and a fresher style to the wine. The vines are trained on a trellis which gives the grapes more aeration, leading to an optimum maturation of the berries and less acidity in the wine. Only 2% of Albariño is planted this way due to higher costs for cultivation and reduced yields. Harvested by hand, the grapes were then cold macerated to extract varietal character and body, prior to a soft pressing and fermentation in stainless steel vats. The finished wine was kept in contact with its lees for two months and malolactic fermentation was prevented.

2 stunning releases from Lafage :
way below Market!
Great Summer Reds! *Proprietors Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage have become synonymous with quality and value from the Roussillon.
Parker's Wine Advocate positively raves about this spectacular value from the Languedoc Roussillon. And why shouldn't they? The Domaine Lafage Lieu Dit La Narassa is seductively delicious and deeply flavorful. It's got dark, rich fruit, some earthiness and chocolate, nice tannins, and especially, a smoothness which rolls across the tongue so effortlessly, you'll find it hard to stop at just one or two glasses. Drink it alone, with cured meats, hearty pasta dishes, grilled and roasted meats and vegetables, and much more. We dare you not to love it.
2014 Domaine Lafage "Narassa Lieu Dit" Côtes-du-Roussillon Reg $21.99 Sale $14.97
93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate From one of the warmest sites in France, the 2014 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lieu Dit La Narassa comes from 70-year-old vines planted in the black schist soils of Maury. Despite the rugged, hot terroir from where this beauty comes, the wine is pure silk and elegant, with lots of black raspberry, chocolate covered currants, pepper and olive notes giving way to a full-bodied 2014; it has polished tannin and a seamless texture. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah that was aged mostly in concrete tank (20% in demi-muids), drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years
We started off the year 2017 with a blockbuster wine we purchased at “???????????” Wines for $20. It is the Domaine Lafage “Narassa Lieu Dit” Côtes-du-Roussillon. The Lafage Narassa is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. The Côtes-du-Roussillon is an appellation in the South of France and one of the warmest areas of France. The grapes for the Narassa came from vines with an average age of 60 years and planted in black schist soil. As is common in Roussillon, the wine is aged in concrete tanks. This wine, however, had a different twist with 20% aged in oak barrels. The result is a fantastic wine, rich in flavors and complexity. Robert Parker gives the 2014 Domaine Lafage “Narassa Lieu Dit” Côtes-du-Roussillon 93 Points. I will purchase more to drink now and some to lay down in my wine cellar for at least 2 to 4 years.
They continue to create tremendous cuvees that offer some of the best QPR regardless of region or country. The Narassa is a new project from a single lieu dit, or vineyard site, that is planted with Grenache and Syrah. Planted on black schist, one of the region's most desirable soil types, the wine has all the classic notes of black fruit and intense minerality. The wine is hand-harvested, undergoes a cold soak before fermentation and spends its time in a mix of concrete tanks (80%) and wood barrels (20%). It is rich, inviting and full of great regional character, much like the Lafages.

Critical Acclaim RP92 The Wine Advocate - "A steal from Lafage is the 2014 Bastide Miraflors, which is a Cotes du Roussillon, and a blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache, with the Grenache aged in concrete tanks and the Syrah in 500-liter demi-muids. Lafage makes more expensive wines than this, but certainly excels with his value lineup. He has really hit a home run with this 10,000-case cuvée. It is deep, ruby/plum/purple, with fresh notes of blackcurrants, plums, Provençal herbs as well as licorice. Deep, medium to full-bodied, with amazing fruit, the purity, authenticity and Mediterranean upbringing of this wine are obvious. Quite deep, round and succulent, this wine should drink well for another several years. This is one to buy by the case."
Jean-Marc Lafage has knocked it out of the park once again with this high quality, low cost stunner of a wine. Domaine Lafage is housed in their new facility just outside the city of Perpignan. One of the most advanced wineries in the region, Jean-Marc and his wife Elaine are crafting "must buy" wines from the region of Roussillon. Often using old vine fruit, the Bastide Miraflors is a blend of Syrah and old vine Grenache. The vineyards for this wine are practicing organic with an average vine age of 55 years.

2014 Gary Farrell "Russian River Selection" Chardonnay Reg $38.99 Sale $29.97
95 points Wine Enthusiast Dark yellow in color, this wine shows tangy green apple and a richer, more concentrated element of applespice cake, with supportive, balanced acidity. With a bright, lifted finish, this less-expensive offering compared with many of the producer’s single vineyard designates never lets up on complexity or deliciousness. (2/2017)
Bacigalupi, Olivet Lane, Rochioli, Allen, Martinelli and Westside Farms are all vineyards that make up this stunning value in the world of Chardonnay. These cream of the crop sites have led to a full bodied, juicy and aromatic wine that is more about the fruit than the winemaking, which these days is less and less common not only in Chardonnay but in the world of wine.
Golden fruited with edges of clover honey and white flowers this is lifted and complex on the nose. Bursting on entry with Fuji apple, nectarine and white pineapple this slowly builds on the palate adding layer after layer of flavor and a subtle, non-toasty, oaken heft on the back end all the while being incredibly agile on the palate. The balance here is superb and at $30 is head and shoulders above 99% of the Chardonnays in this price point. This is simply one of the best Chards we have in the shop for under $50.BB K&L

2014 Louis Martini "Sonoma" Cabernet Sauvignon Reg $18.99 Sale $12.97
90pts Robert Parker The Wine Advocate - "One of the best values in Cabernet Sauvignon anywhere in the world remains Louis Martini’s Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County (89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and the rest Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and other varieties) is just a beautiful wine. Dense ruby/purple with classic tobacco leaf, blackcurrant, loamy soil notes and a touch of wood spice, this wine (aged 16 months in French and American oak) has relatively modest alcohol for Cabernets these days (13.5%), and what’s even more remarkable is that there are 408,000 cases. The wine has the suppleness and upfront charm to be drunk now, but don’t discount the ability of this wine to hold onto life and last, without losing its fruit, for another 7-10+ years. It is a great value." Also a few cases left

“Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. The nose offers spiced potpourri with a touch of raspberry preserves, ripe red and black plum and fresh red cherry. The palate shows luscious blackberry and sweet oak tannins with juicy acidity. This wine is sourced mainly from the Double Canyon Vineyard(just across from Champoux) but also includes fruit from Phinny Hill, Champoux and Destiny Ridge. The wine was aged for 14 months in 27% new oak barrels.” -Winery
91pts Wine Enthusiast Wood spice, herb, tangerine peel and blue- and black-fruit aromas are followed by a fresh, flavorful palate. The grip of the tannins makes the variety unmistakable and the balance is spot on.

This wine is brilliant pale yellow with a bright green hue. It exudes aromas of ripe lime, grapefruit, pear and white nectarine with a subtle hint of fresh-cut grass. The palate is fresh and enticing, as grapefruit, white nectarine and deep tropical notes intertwine making the mouth water. Balanced yet lively acidity lingers on the palate inviting another taste. Boxwood on the finish gives the wine length and vibrant freshness.

Impossible to get Methode Tradition Quality at this price!
100% Chardonnay from Burgundy! NV Moingeon 1415 Blanc de Blancs Brut Methode Tradition N/V Reg $15.99 Sale $9.97 An excellent sparkling wine at a knockout price and named after the year of the battle of Agincourtrather surprisingly for a French wine. Made in exactly the same way as Champagne itself, the only difference being that the grapes come from Vaucluse and Charente. The perfect fizz for parties, weddings or just a glass for yourself, and a lot better than many Champagnes at twice the price. Formed in 1895, Moingeon is recognized as one of the top producers of Cremant de Bourgogne. Methode traditionelle refers to the old production method traditionally used in champagne. This process requires great care and patience but produces wines of far greater sophistication than those that are simply tank fermented.The '1415' Blanc de Blancs is a "methode traditionnelle" sparkling wine, meaning that the wine has been made in exactly the same way as a bottle of Champagne. The only difference is that the grapes are not from vines growing within the Champagne region
A great Easter Pick!!
Limited to stock on hand! 2015 Ridge Geyserville 50th Anniversary Release! $37.97 $429.99/12 70% Zinfandel, 15% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah, 3% Alicante Bouschet
Since the first vintage in 1966, Geyserville has displayed an unparalleled consistency of character with each subsequent offering. We attribute this to the distinctive character of the site and to our commitment to sustainable agriculture. Working the land in a sustainable fashion means that we take an environmentally conscious approach to the whole vineyard through techniques such as integrated pest management, cover cropping, composting, and hand harvesting. Farming the land as gently as possible is what allows us to capture the uniquely distinctive character of Geyserville year after year. 2015 marks a great milestone for Ridge Vineyards, as it is the 50th vintage in which they have produced Ridge Geyserville. 2015 was another of the "drought years" but the growing season was gentler than the prior three vintages. Spring rains moistened the soils, and cooler summer temperatures reduced the stress on the vines. The resulting wines are deep and brooding, but the fruit has a juicy style that is refreshing.
Consumer Notes From Cellartracker!
Young and vibrant, it hits the palate with masses of dark red/black fruit followed by iron, smoke and savory herbs. The intensity of fruit nearly covers the tannins that lurk beneath. Rated by 94 Points Lisa's Staff.
92pts 3/27/17 Classic Geyserville fruit. Ready now. Balanced, no heat, delicious
93pts 3/22/17 Deep, deep Geyserville. Perhaps less dense than the 2014, but there's a brilliant beam of acid, and a finish that lasts for days. I think this will turn in to something truly special.
95pts 3/14/17 Ridge's 50th year producing this wine. 14.5% abv. Dark ruby, expressive aromatics. Intense flavors of raspberry, cassis, blueberry and Zin fruit. Very deep, penetrating and long. Delicious now and will continue to improve for years and years. One of the world's wine treasures

2015 Darkhorse Petite Sirah Reg $12.99 Sale $5.97 $69.99cs 12 ($5.83)
Darkhorse is a a new label from Gallo one of the biggest and most powerful wine companies in America. This entry into a sea of labels at the Reg $12 but buy a bunch and we can sell for $8.99$9.99. This Petite Sirah is not part of the normal line, but a special ?limited release? line extension. While the whole line has not made its way onto our shelves, when Gallo wants to move something they do it aggressively and quickly. Locally a couple hundred cases were offered up at a pretty deep discount, we managed to latch on to a pallet.
Truly a rare find that is a little gem for the price.
Nose is sour cherry and sour plum a little sweet and mossy as well. The palate starts soft and very full, rounding it?s way around the tongue, and beginning to build tannins immediately. Jammy with good blueberry and cherry. The blueberry and blackberry flavors grow in intensity, driving home huge jammy notes and depth, laced with smoke and subtle spicing. A touch of sweetness also builds out throughout. Nice dry tannin, medium bodied. Simple but delicious..great with cheeses, meats and spiced food
As far as $60.00 & Napa Valley Cabernet go!
There are none better!
In Stock Limited! We basically got snubbed last year on one of our favorite Cabernets. We will not be snubbed again! Pritchard Hill is home to the some of the most famous and expensive Cabernet's in Napa Valley and rightfully so! It would be difficult to argue that this is not the best value in all Napa Cab! We are shocked the price has been the same for the last 5 years! There are a limited amount of cases available, we will try to purchase them all over the next few weeks if possible, but for now get yours while you can!
2014 Chappellet "Signature" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reg $70 Sale $59.97 ($699.99/12)
94+ points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9/% Petit Verdot and the rest Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, is a classic example of Pritchard Hill, Chappellet and of Napa Valley. Brilliant purity, a dense purple color, superb blackberry and floralinfused blueberry fruit and cassis, a fullbodied mouthfeel, moderate but sweet tannin and a long, layered, texture and finish make for a profound Cabernet Sauvignon that actually sells at a bargain price for what is in the bottle. Moreover, look for it to evolve graciously for another 20+ years. 94+ (RP) (12/2016)
94 points James Suckling Aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, mushrooms and spices. Full and very intense with lots of fruit. Firm and silky. Plenty of tension. Layered and intense. Love it now, but this will be better in 2020. (1/2017)
93 points Vinous The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is fabulous. A host of graphite, smoke, licorice, lavender, creme de cassis and exotic spice give the wine its characteristic savory and mineraldrenched flavors. Medium in body and exquisitely layered in the glass, the Signature is a real headturner. Best of all, it is a superb value. And I do mean superb. (AG) (12/2016)
THE WINE: The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been our flagship wine for more than three decades. It is a benchmark for the longlived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and further elevates flavor complexity.
GROWING SEASON AND HARVEST: For the third year in a row, Mother Nature provided exceptional growing conditions. In fact, our vineyard manager, Dave Pirio, believes that 2012, 2013 and 2014 may be the finest run of growing seasons he has seen in his more than 30 years of farming Pritchard Hill. While 2014 offered lovely temperate, midseason weather that was ideal for our early ripening varieties, it also brought ample warmth in September and October, ensuring perfect ripeness in our lateripening grapes. With no threat of rain or significant heat events, the fruit was harvested at an unhurried pace in pristine condition. Overall, our yields were down slightly, resulting in beautiful depth and concentration.
TASTING NOTES: Deep and rich, this is a classic expression of hillside Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, offering alluring aromas of boysenberry, black currant and dark chocolate, as well as subtler layers of sweet oak, savory herbs and freshroasted coffee. On the palate, ripe fruit and plush, radiant tannins create a velvety mouthfeel and an almost liqueurlike richness that carries through to a long, lingering finish.

Without question the Best Bang For the Buck Pinot Noirs! Top Quality: Reasonably Priced!
Absolutely: Do Not Miss!
2015 Patricia Green Reserve Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Reg $28.99 Sale $22.97
V91 Vinous / Antonio Galloni "Deep red. Expansive red berry and floral pastille scents and flavors show impressive energy and pick up a hint of smokiness as the wine opens up. Smooth and fleshy but lively as well; a late jolt of white pepper adds spicy bite. Generous but vibrant in character, finishing very long and sweet, with gentle tannins lending shape and subtle grip. This wine delivers exceptional bang for the buck."
This has been one of the best values in Willamette Valley Pinot Noir for years, but in 2015 it really soars. This year 75% of the barrels came from sedimentary soils in Ribbon Ridge and Chehalem Mountain AVAs, 15% from Freedom Hill and 15% from volcanic soils in the Dundee Hills. It's genuinely lush and a bit showy now with opulent aromas and flavors of crushed black raspberry, dark cherries, exotic flowers, smoke and damp earth. Mouthfilling and showing a glyceryl richness, but with vivid acids, fine tannins, and no excess of weight. As Jim and Patty say, "There are seriously great bones here and this wine will stand up to many, many much higher priced bottlings... In short, this wine is a smoking deal!!"
2014 Patricia Green Freedom Hill Pinot Noir Reg $39.99 Sale $29.97
Vinous (Raynolds) 93 points "Limpid rubyred. Raspberry liqueur, potpourri and Asian spice aromas, accompanied by suggestions of cola and incense. Stains the palate with vibrant red fruit and floral pastille flavors; peppery spice and mineral notes provide lift. Silky, even tannins build slowly and evenly on a strikingly long, minerallaced finish that leaves notes of raspberry and allspice behind. There's impressive energy here for a wine from a ripe vintage."
Wine Advocate 93 points "The 2014 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard, with onethird new oak. It has an appealing bouquet with dark berry fruit, bell pepper and touches of brine, something very marinelike coming through with aeration. The palate is mediumbodied with that bell pepper note coming through on the entry from the stem addition, lending a Loirelike character to this Pinot Noir. I appreciate the tension here, a rather uncompromising, yet compelling Pinot Noir with wonderful salinity towards the finish. Intellectual as well as sensorial, afford this 23 years in your cellar."
2014 Patricia Green Estate Old Vine Pinot Noir Reg $44.99 Sale $34.97

Juicy, incisive strawberry, bitter cherry and peppery spice flavors deepen and gain sweetness with air while maintaining urgency. At once concentrated and nervy, finishing with excellent focus and suave, latearriving tannins."

2013 Ulysses Napa Valley (Dominus) $169.97 $999.99/6
James Suckling 98 Points Fabulous subtle aromas of black currants, violets and lilacs with a hot stone undertone. Fullbodied and dense, it shows such wonderful energy and synergy that delivers a firm yet gentle tannin backbone and complex mouthfeel that seduces you. Evolves wonderfully. Second wine from this new estate, which is owned by Christian Moueix of Dominus and Bordeaux. Release is March 2017.
96+ Robert Parker The 2013 Ulysses is absolutely mindboggling, as so many wines from this vintage are. Gorgeous blueberry and blackberry fruit, along with the telltale cassis and floral notes, jump from the glass. Again, this is Pauillaclike, with some cedar wood and subtle barrique smells. Again produced nearly all from Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is fullbodied, powerful, rich and long, with slightly sweeter tannins than the 2012. Production in 2013 was 960 cases, and Moueix told me that the entire growing season averaged about two and half weeks ahead of schedule from bloom break to harvest. This is a prodigious effort and will certainly stand as the great Ulysses of the first trio to be released. I suspect it will be drinkable in 34 years and keep for 30 or more, given the Moueix track record
Vinous 95+ Points 95+ Points Gravel, smoke, graphite, savory herbs, tobacco and iron are some of the signatures in the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon. A typical wine from the eastern sector of Oakville on the border with Yountville, the 2013 is loaded with feral, savory notes, while the expression of blue/blackish fruit lies a bit more in the background. In 2013, the main signature is an expression of structure that is both vertical but also incredibly insistent through to the finish. In other words, this is a superclassic 2013 built for the cellar.

2014 Daou Vineyards "Seventeen Forty" Bordeaux Blend Reg $79.99 Move em out $54.97
95 points Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
The Cabernet Francdominated blend is the 2014 Seventeen Forty Reserve (theres 35% Merlot in the blend) and it sees slightly less new oak than the Cabernet Sauvignondominated releases. Its purple color is followed by a rich, expansive, fullbodied and elegant red that has classic floral, chocolate, earth and dark fruit aromas and flavors. It was bottled just three weeks ago, but its certainly none the worse for it. This is a killer wine to enjoy anytime over the coming decade. (8/2016)

Weekly News & Specials
Finally! 
Last weeks Paper wine of the week!! Great Value Pizza Wine
Great Value White Wine from Spain! High Quality Albarino! Try it you'll like it! 
Almost Gone!! 
We basically got snubbed last year on one of our favorite Cabernets. We will not be snubbed again! Pritchard Hill is home to the some of the most famous and expensive Cabernet's in Napa Valley and rightfully so! It would be difficult to argue that this is not the best value in all Napa Cab! We are shocked the price has been the same for the last 5 years! There are a limited amount of cases available, we will try to purchase them all over the next few weeks if possible, but for now get yours while you can!
Ultra Rare Collectible 
We are not going to tell you this wine is a 94pt classic as reviewed below,
