2010 Ken Forrester Chenin
Blanc Reserve Stellenbosch
$16.99
Wine Advocate 92 Points
"Aged for 12 months in the
same oak regime as the regular Chenin Blanc with the fruit
picked a little riper, the 2010 Reserve Chenin Blanc has a
well-defined bouquet with very well integrated oak and hints
of hazelnut and spice. It has a very well balanced palate
with powerful citrus fruits laced with lemon curd, orange
essence, apricot and brioche that dovetail into a precise
finish. This Chenin comes highly recommended, especially for
the price. Drink now-2017+."

An Incredible
Chateauneuf Value |
|
 |
2009 E. Guigal Chateauneuf du
Pape
$49.99
One of the best Rhones in the hugely hyped 2009
vintage, and certainly one of the best values! 80% old
Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% others. Deep dark red. A spicy
nose with mature red fruits. Round tannins with powerful complexity.
A rich unctuous wine with notes of mature plums, hazelnuts and red
fruits. A very rich wine full of harmony and balance.
Wine & Spirits 96 Points
There are some wines that silence the panel with their greatness,
wines that knock us back in our seats to stare, slack jawed. This is
one of them. It's not just that it's huge, mouthfilling in flavor
and tough as nails; it's more that it's incredibly succulent, as if
built out of some sort of stone that gives up juice. For all its
intensity and ferrous minerality, it remains fresh, the red fruit
and spice seeming to go on forever. Wine
Advocate 93 Points
The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is a must buy. It boasts a deep
plum/ruby color as well as a rich bouquet of blackberries, kirsch,
spice box, pepper, grilled herbs, and meat juices. With supple
tannins, full body, and beautiful texture and depth, it should drink
nicely for 10-15 years. |

Superdeal

24%
Wine Advocate 92 to 94 Points
The best Gigondas from Guigal that I have ever tasted will
certainly be the 2007....Dense plum/purple, with notes of garrigue,
crushed rock, blueberry, and black raspberries, the wine is
full-bodied, with stunning purity, a multi-layered texture, and a
long finish. It should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. |

2008 Di Majo Norante
Ramitello Molise, Italy
$19.99
Wine Advocate 92 Points
The 2008 Ramitello, a blend of 80%
Montepulciano and 20% Aglianico, boasts fabulous clarity and
freshness, with layers of vibrant dark cherries and plums
that meld together with notable grace. Smoke, tar, menthol
and licorice develop in the glass, giving the wine even more
dimensions of expression. This is a terrific effort from Di
Majo Norante. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013.

2008 Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco
Vino da Tavola
$29.99
Wine Advocate 92 Points
A deep, dense wine endowed with impressive concentration in
its mineral-infused dark blueberries, blackberries, spices and
French oak. Cool notes of mint give the wine a pretty, floral lift
on the finish. Although the wine continues to blossom in the glass
this remains an extraordinarily primary Perlato that needs a few
years to come together. : 2012-2026.
