2006 Eric Kent Syrah "Kalen's Big Boy" $39.95 Ripe, firm and complex, with wonderful aromatics and generous, full-bodied spice, blackberry, wild berry, cedar, sage and pepper. Tightly focused and well-structured, this ends with a long, full, peppery finish. Drink now through 2015. 325 cases made. Rated 94, Wine Spectator
Light and tart, with a zip to the acidity that carries the vivid, celery-tinged gooseberry and lime flavors, lingering impressively on the sharply focused finish. (91 WS)
Rated 96+ WA: Dense ruby/purple-tinged with an exquisite nose of salty sea breezes, licorice, ground pepper, jammy black cherries, black currants, figs, and plums, this is a full-bodied, rich, Provencal-styled offering with lots of sweet, ripe tannin.
Potocki W??dka is produced in western Poland. It is double distilled for smoothness and purity from the finest quality Polish rye. Unfiltered, it retains the full aroma of the grain which yields its distinctive taste.
Full-bodied with sensational texture, purity, and length as well as remarkable elegance and freshness, this stunning Gigondas can be enjoyed over the next 15-20 years. Bravo! (94 RP)
This is delicious everyday drinking Chardonnay the way it should be. Tropical aromas leap from the glass, lemon, lemon marmalade, passion fruit and mango abound with a touch of vanilla on the medium length finish.
Composed of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the wine has an extremely delicate and ethereal nose followed by a seamless blend of hazelnut, wild strawberry, dried herbs and almond paste.
This well-mannered wine is loaded with fine curranty fruit, and all of its spaces are filled in with very nice oak. Its appropriate tannins lend structure and spine without becoming abrasive.
Planted to a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache, along one of Provence's most famous truffle veins, this earthy essence can be found in this robust wine and is complimented by the wine's dark core, firm tannins and savory spice.
Typically sold for $15 per bottle, we received a special deal on this Cal-Italia wine. Japanese plums and blackberries abound followed by freshly ground espresso beans, cocoa dust and tar.
The perfect marriage of old and new. Dry brambly dark fruit and sweet tobacco leaf aromas, not burdened down with huge tannin. It is beautifully balanced and elecgant, and should age nicely for 7-10 years.
