Domaine de Maubet ‘07 Vin de
Pays des Gascogne
$5.99 btl / $68.29 cs
- save $3
The Gascony region of Southwestern
France is known for its "douceur de vivre" (sweetness of life): its
food (the home of foie gras and Armagnac brandy), its medieval towns
and villages and its wines - rich in terroir and value. This wine
marries silky, rich Merlot with more structured and deeply colored
Tannat to produce a delicious blend. Aromas of sweet tobacco, deep
fruit and earth greet you. Plum and mocha flavors dance with the
spice and earthy notes on the palate. This wine has impressive
elegance for its price-tag! Limited to stock onhand. Reg: $9
Venta Morales ‘09 Tempranillo, La Mancha
$6.99 btl / $79.69 cs
- save $3
A phenomenal value. Sourced from a
32-year-old vineyard with tiny yields of two tons per acre, the wine
was fermented and raised in stainless steel. It reveals a remarkably
deep color for its humble price, fragrant black cherry aromas, ripe,
round, savory fruit on the palate, and excellent depth and length.
It over-delivers in a very big way. Reg: $10
Garnacha del Fuego ‘08 Old Vines Garnacha,
Spain
$6.99 btl / $79.69 cs
"The
grapes for this new project were sourced from 60- to 80-year-old
vines whose already low yields were reduced an additional 70% by the
weather conditions of the vintage. A glass-coating opaque purple,
remarkably deep for a wine of this price made from Garnacha, the
wine offers a nose of brooding black cherry and blueberry.
Concentrated, ripe, and balanced on the palate, this flavorful,
lengthy effort will drink well over the next four years. It is an
outstanding value." 89 points- The Wine Advocate.
