2009 Bodegas
Borsao Berola Campo de Borja $14.99
An Over 90 Under $20 Selection -Save 20% by the Case
Wine Advocate 90 Points "Editor's
Choice"
The 2009 Berola is a blend of 70%
Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Some oak
enters the picture here, as this cuvee is aged in a
combination of French and American oak barrels for about 14
months. There are 1,400 cases of this serious red. While
priced nearly twice as high as some of its siblings, this is
a hefty, rich, impressive wine that will drink well for 7-8
years. Abundant notes of black currants, black cherries,
licorice, flowers, vanillin and spice box are found in the
aromas and flavors of this medium to full-bodied, silky,
well-endowed wine. Unbelievable! |

at our Vin205 Wine Bar
An Over 90 Under $20 Selection -Save 20% by the Case
Wine Spectator 90 Points "Best Values"
Top 100 of 2012
A dark, succulent red, exuding black
cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors. Pure and
focused, with a long aftertaste of sweet fruit, flowers and
spice. Drink now through 2016. |

2010
Banshee Mordecai
Proprietary Red California $22.99
The winemakers spent 3 months and used a whopping 13
varietals all from very small lot batches from single
vineyard sources in the final blend of this incredible red. Napa Cab sets the tone with an intense core of dark fruit
and solid structure as Syrah, Grenache, and Cab Franc add
spice, body, and lift in a sort of Bordeaux-meets Rhone
story set in California.
For the record, the blend consists of: Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Petite
Sirah, Grenache, Montepulciano, Mouvedre, Zinfandel, Pinot
Noir, Carignane (WOW!!!!!). |

Taste this By the Glass
at our Vin205 Wine Bar
An Over 90 Under $20 Selection -Save 20% by the Case
Wine Enthusiast 91 Points "Editor's
Choice"
Tangent’s white wines, which are
unoaked, get better each vintage. This Grenache Blanc is
exquisitely sculpted with sharp acids and pinpointed
minerals, and offers orange, melon and vanilla-honey
flavors. A delight to drink, at a great price. |

Taste this By the Glass
at our Vin205 Wine Bar
An Over 90 Under $20 Selection -Save 20% by the Case
Wine Enthusiast 91 Points "Editor's
Choice"
A glorious, grapefruity, lusciously
fresh Pinot Gris, this new vintage from Seven Hills is made
for a summer afternoon. This has notes of citrus and melon,
with highlights of mint and a hint of pepper, keeping it
lively and interesting all through the refreshing finish. |

2010 Stickybeak
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley $18.99
An Over 90 Under $20 Selection -Save 20% by the Case
Stephen Tanzer IWC 90 Points
Opaque purple. Fresh cherry and dark
berry aromas are complemented by notes of cigar box, violet
and peppery spices. Smooth and seamless on the palate,
offering sweet blackberry and cassis flavors and a hint of
sweet chewing tobacco. Nicely balanced and refreshingly
bitter on the subtly tannic finish, which clings with
impressive tenacity. |

Dried strawberry and cherries on the

tannins and a rose petal and delicately fruity finish. Drink
now or hold. |
