Domaine Lafage ‘Cuvee Nicolas’ Grenache Noir ‘09
$13.99 / btl -
save $5
“Plush and glycerin-rich yet neither heavy nor warm. Nutty
underlying richness and a sounding board of wet stone compliment and
set-off ripe dark berry fruit that really envelops the palate. This
irresistible essence of Grenache ought to merit service for at least
3-4 years.”90

This smokin’ hot Rhone is mostly Grenache with Syrah and Cinsault.
Small, ripe red berries give the wine a fleshy, yet flashy palate
that is supported by blackcurrant, cherries and subtle touches of
spice.

Moulin de Ferrand Bordeaux ‘09
$8.99 / btl -
save $3
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are all in the blend
of this wine. With a beautiful red color, it is very fruity on the
nose and on the palate. It’s round tannins allow it to be enjoyed
young but, if you prefer to wait a little, it can gently age in your
cellar.
Gabriel d’Ardhuy Bourgogne Rouge ‘09
$16.99 / btl
The Esquin staff hasn’t raved over a under $20 Bourgogne like this
in quite some time! Simply delightful, fruity and soft with
expressive aromas of strawberry and cherry. Charming flavors of
spiced cranberries and dried flowers, accompanied by a flush finish.
A lovely match for your favorite pork dish.
Chateau Marsau Cotes de Francs ‘05
$15.99 / btl -
save $5
“This beautiful Merlot-dominated Cotes de Franc exhibits a deep
ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of black raspberries,
cherries, and currants, good freshness, ripe tannin, and a
medium-bodied, pure mid-palate as well as finish. A sleeper of the
vintage, it is ideal for drinking during its first 10-12 years of
life.”88-90

Ch de Gaudon ‘Cuvee Tradition’ Cahors ‘09
$8.99 / btl
A rich, dark and mellow Malbec, Merlot and Tannat blend from from a
region that typically retails at twice the price. Blackberry,
blackcurrants, cinnamon and sage steal the show on the nose, while
the body is firm, with a dry finish and dusty tannins. Serve up
next to smoked cheeses |
