Jean-Luc Colombo ‘Les Abeilles’ Cotes du Rhone ‘09
$6.99 / btl -
save $6
A dark purple GSM blend with an intensely peppery spice . Red fruit
and leather notes shine through on the nose while the palate is
complex with flavors of licorice, that signature spice and
stimulating tannins. This Rhone begs to be paired with food, so
throw some grilled or roasted lamb at it to make it happy!
Domaine Astruc Grenache Noir ‘07
$6.99 / btl -
save $3
An exuberant Grenache. Aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, kirsch
and satsuma plum. The palate is juicy, ripe and extroverted, with
the saturated cherry fruit balanced by tannins that provide just the
right amount of structure. Bonus; there’s just enough earthiness to
remind you it’s from the deep south of France.
Vino della Casa Red ‘10
$6.99 / btl
The label is inspiring, making you feel like you’re ordering a
quaint house red off the chalk-board specials of an Italian bistro.
A deliciously off-dry blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese that
lights up with Bing cherries, spiced plums and dark cocoa.

Very bright gold with green tints. Complex with citrus, gooseberry
and herbaceous aromas with some slightly smoky notes. Fruity with a
good acidity and balance that give rich mouth feel and a good
length. Best served with shell-fish, poached or grilled seafood,

Cliff Raven Torrontes ‘10
$6.99 / btl -

Hector Durigutti lends his veteran winemaking hand to this tattoo
inspired white. Sparkling gold with pinkish hues. Astounding
fragrance of lychees, grape and floral notes. Sweet entrance
perfectly balanced by a crisp acidity. Creamy viscosity and citrus
finish that leaves your palate feeling happy and refreshed. An
impressive must have from Argentina
Tercos Mendoza Malbec ‘09
$6.99 / btl -
save $5
The name of the winery translates to “stubborn” in Spanish...but
this headstrong wine doesn’t sit around, it’s been consistently
selling out! A Malbec with stellar balance, the body, acidity and
tannins are all beautifully in check. Aromas of wild and ripe
blackberries join with fragrant floral notes. Black currant,
mulberry and a warm spice help the finish end on a long, fleshy
note. It’s exceptional volume and depth make it way too easy to
drink! |
