TRAVERSO'S KERMIT LYNCH IMPORTS NEW WINE ARRIVALS AND OLD FAVORITES
WE'VE SELECTED 6 WINES FROM OUR GOOD FRIEND AND IMPORTER KERMIT LYNCH. MANY OF THESE HAVE JUST ARRIVED LAST WEEK. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN BIG FANS OF KERMIT'S IMPORTS FOR OVERALL INTERESTING SELECTIONS AND VALUE.
LET US TEMP YOU WITH THESE SIX.....ALL IN-STOCK....CAN SHIP OR HOLD! 707-542-2530 info@traversos.com
WHITE WINE ARRIVALS
2008 ERIC CHEVALIER LOIRE VALLEY CHARDONNAY $12.95
“An anomaly in the region, Éric’s Chardonnay is planted in sandstone, silex, and quartz next to one of his Muscadet vineyards, and it doesn’t much resemble Chardonnay from anywhere else. It is crisp, clean, flinty, and easy to down. Some folks buy cases at a time. No Oak.” – Kermit Lynch, Importer
2008 DOMAINE DU SALVARD CHEVERNY BLANC $14.95
100% SAUVIGNON BLANC
"Here it is: ripe, tender, friendly, easy, and delicious. Yes, the grapes were good, they were perfectly ripe, and the bouquet offers itself with style and delicacy. Do you agree that some Sauvignon Blancs can seem aggressive, even off putting? This one has a lovely touch on the palate and the acidity is buried in the wine's flesh. It is a graceful performance that lingers beautifully." – Kermit Lynch, Importer
2008 DOMAINE MAESTRACCI “E PROVE” CALVI BLANC $16.95
VERMENTINO FROM CORSICA
“Interesting, complex, different, and delicious. The ravishing bouquet inspires thirst, and the palate is dry, juicy and has a perfect tinge of minerality at the end. If you want to experience good Vermentino, start here.” – Kermit Lynch, Importer
2007 CLOS STE. MAGDELEINE CASSIS BLANC $27.95
“A dry white made for seafood, particularly recipes from the Mediterranean rim. It tastes like honeyed sunshine to me, but I can’t explain what sunshine tastes like. This fairly luscious example is the best Cassis I have ever had.” – Kermit Lynch, Importer
RED WINE ARRIVALS
2008 DOMAINE DUPEUBLE BEAUJOLAIS $12.95
"You still haven't tried a good, inexpensive Beaujolais? This may be the best one for the money, period! Great fresh raspberry, strawberry, black cherry and blueberry flavors mix with minerals and limestone, and just a hint of Asian spice. Showy for this grade of Beaujolais, do not miss out on this vintage!" – Kermit Lynch, Importer
2006 DOMAINE GALLETY COTES DU VIVARAIS OUR PRICE $24.95
“While tasting the 2006 Côtes du Vivarais, I distinctly remember a dark, inky purple wine that was as smooth as velvet with all the violets and spice of northern Rhône Syrah combined with the powerfully ripe fruit of southern Rhône Grenache. No hard edge to speak of, cool and composed, impeccable balance.” – Kermit Lynch, Importer
