FEATURED POURS
2009 FINCA SOPHENIA "ALTOSUR" MENDOZA TORRONTES OUR PRICE $11.99
Famous white grape Torrontes grown by the Andes, altitude 4,000 feet. Rocky soil of loose structure. Parcel selection, pruning, irrigation and clusters handling obtain low yields and high quality grapes. The color is pale yellow with green hints, it
presents intense floral aromas combined with tropical fruit and citric notes. The palate is intense, concentrated with citric and mineral sensations that increase its freshness and an elegant finish.
2008 FAMILIA ZUCCARDI SANTA JULIA MENDOZA BONARDA OUR PRICE $9.99
Produced from 100% Certified Organic Bonarda grapes. This Bonarda, originally a northern Italian variety, is full-bodied and loaded with ripe fruit flavors of cherry, black raspberry and plum with underlying spicy notes. Pairs well with grilled meats, pastas, pizza as well as aged cheeses. Great alternative to Zin.
2007 TIERRA DIVINA VALLE DE UCO MENDOZA MALBEC OUR PRICE $16.99
Produced by Sonoma County's Patrick Campbell of Laurel Glenn Winery. When Patrick gets bored in the winter he heads south to Argentina where he has this exciting project in Mendoza's Valle de Uco. Tierra Divina Malbec is an expression of the Valle de Uco: very dark; deeply fruited with ripe, dense plum and cassis fruit; complex and fragrant and exotic, with a beautiful long finish. And like the best Malbecs, its power is tempered by a haunting lightness in the mouth.
2007 ALTA VISTA "ATEMPORAL" MENDOZA RED BLEND OUR PRICE $17.99
Atemporal (timeless in Spanish) is a blend of four varietals 43% Malbec, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah, and 10% Petit Verdot coming from Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo and Valle de Uco grown at 3,200 feet. The malbec brings red fruit and floral aromas while the syrah offers spicy notes. The softness of the Malbec blended with the tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the structure of the Petit Verdot allow a complex and
harmonious wine with a long finish.
"Dark and juicy, with plum, boysenberry, raisin and fruitcake flavors backed by dark cocoa and enticing cigar smoke notes. The finish is long and fleshy. A fun, hedonistic wine." 90 Points - Wine Spectator
2008 BODEGA NOEMIA "A LISA" PATAGONIA RED BLEND OUR PRICE $24.99
Blend of Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Nice raspberry fruit, with lush smoke and a lingering graphite edge to the finish. Fruit takes an encore on the finish. Perfect for red meat courses cooked any style.
"Very round and juicy, with inviting crushed plum, blackberry and pastis notes laced with graphite and licorice on the friendly finish. Very tasty." 90 Points - Wine Spectator
