Australia, Barossa Valley

Tasting Notes:
"The 2004 Avatar is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mataro, and 10% Shiraz that spent 16 months in old French and American oak. It is less aromatic than the Joshua, but bigger and deeper in the mouth as well as more monolithic. Another 6-12 months of bottle age should be beneficial." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

"Distinctive and well-defined. Blueberry and plum flavors get all kinds of shadings, with hints of game meats, pepper and pomegranate that linger beautifully." 91 Wine Spectator

Food Pairing: Lamb or Beef

Spain, Navarra

Tasting Notes:
"Deep red. Explosively perfumed nose offers oak spice-accented raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant aromas and a hint of dark chocolate. Lush and sweet, with a velvety texture and deep, jammy dark fruit flavors framed by supple tannins. Takes a smoky turn on the impressively sweet and long finish." 91 Steven Tanzer's IWC

"It’s a focused, complex, beautifully balanced red with silky tannins, sweet oak and the potential to develop for a decade or more in bottle. The 125 has established itself as Navarra’s best red. For pure adrenalin, it can’t compete with the running of the bulls, but drinking a glass of the 2001 is an altogether more satisfying experience." Decanter Magazine

Founded in 1647, Bodegas Julián Chivite is the oldest wine producing dynasty in Spain. Regularly priced $49.99, this exquisite Spanish red blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet & Merlot is drinking at it's prime, and is available here On Sale, including Free Ground Shipping while supplies last.

California, Sonoma Valley

Tasting Notes:
"The color is deep and youthful. The nose is a mix of ripe dark fruits, cassis, sandalwood and violets. The palate is rich and mouth coating with tannins that are clearly present, yet beautifully integrated. This is a delicious, full-bodied Cabernet that will bring great pleasure over the next decade.

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is a complete wine. It is a testament to both vintage and the vineyards. The growing season opened with a heat wave in the first half of March triggering an early bloom. The remainder of the year was awash in warm days, cool nights and morning fog. All in all, we feel it was one of the finest Cabernet vintages of the last decade.

For vineyards, this Cabernet combines our favorite bench, hillside and mountain sites (many organically farmed) in Sonoma, Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. By blending lots from a variety of sources Richard is able to capture the character of the vintage and the essence of Sonoma County Cabernet.

The nose is layered; the flavors are decisive; the texture is broad and balanced. Both variety and terroir are inextricably woven throughout the liquid in perfect harmony.

Varietal Composition: Cabernet Sauvignon (89.9%), Merlot (7.2%), Malbec (1.6%), Petit Verdot (1.3%)

Oregon, Willamette Valley

Tasting Notes:
"The 2006 Pinot Noir Estate Bottled was aged in 67% new Taransaud barrels and co-fermented with 8% Gewurztraminer. The wine is medium/dark ruby-colored with a spicy, toasty bouquet which clearly gets a lift from the Gewurztraminer component. Sweet, ripe, and easy-going with excellent depth and complex flavors, this unique effort can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years. Kevin Chambers’ estate vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA is Demeter Certified Biodynamic." 90 Wine Advocate

“Our goal was to produce a Demeter-certified Biodynamic® wine that effectively communicated the terroir that is Resonance Vineyard. The resulting wine is highly aromatic, suggesting pomegranate and fresh raspberry fruit with a delightful clove-like spice. The acidity leaves the wine bright and lively; not heavy and cloying. In typical Resonance Vineyard fashion the tannins are polymerized leaving a silky, immediately enjoyable wine. We believe the wine will improve in the bottle for four to seven years (depending on cellar temperature) and then hold for up to 15 years.” Winemaker Notes

France, Burgundy

Tasting Notes:
"Fresh, elegant and pure, this red boasts cherry, black currant, mineral and spice aromas and flavors. Vibrant but well-structured, with tension and a resonant finish." Wine Spectator 90 points

This is a great, new style Burgundy. The Faiveley house has undergone a change in the oenology department and it shows. 2007 is the first full vintage for the new regime. The Clos de Myglands is a 1er Cru and offers an amazing bang for your buck.

California, Mendocino

Tasting Notes:
"Very rich, very fine, this Pinot is a blend of Goldeneye's best vineyards. It shows a molten density, like liquid silver, lush in red cherries, licorice, cinnamon, coco, dried herb and orange zest flavors, and should develop in the bottle through 2012." 91 points Wine Enthusiast

"Firm and rich, this is marked by tight mineral, dried currant and berry fruit that gains velocity and depth, with touches of cedar and anise and tannins that give the flavors traction. Needs time. Best from 2014 through 2017." 90/100 by Wine Spectator

The Pinot branch of the Duckhorn family tree. This Goldenee comes entirely from the Anderson Valley, combing fruit from the Confluence, Gowan Creek, Narrows and Abel vineyards. True to the winery's style, this is a full-bodied, extracted style of Pinot Noir, with a velvety texture and grippier tannins to complement the bolder fruit and subtle vanilla, rosemary, lavender and chocolate undertones.

Regular Price is $55.99, On Sale for $44.89, including Free Ground Shipping.

California, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
"Intense aromas of dried cherries, boysenberry, blueberries, violets, cassis, black olives and spices. The palate transitions to sweet currants, dark cherries and ripe plums. This is a dense and well-focused Merlot that showcases ripe, lush tannins and has a fine and persistent finish. " Winemaker's Notes

This traditional, bold Napa Merlot is well structured with enjoyable tannins. The wine will drink great today with the potential to age as well as any California Merlot. Coming from one of the most prestigious vineyards in Napa Valley, in one of the most memorable vintages in recent memory, this rare, 290 case production wine is certainly a must have for any oenophile.

Italy, Piedmont

Tasting Notes:
"Soaring aromatics emerge from the estate’s 2004 Barolo Brunate. Menthol, dark cherries, spices, new leather and licorice are all to be found in this generous, layered wine. Sweet, ripe tannins provide a lovely bookend to this rich, classic Barolo from the Brunate vineyard. Still somewhat closed, it is likely to require at least a few years of bottle age." Wine Advocate 93 points.

"Shows aromas of plum and meat, with a hint of wet earth. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is subtle and fruity." Wine Spectator 88 points.

California, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
Offers ripe black cherry, plum and subtle berry notes that are complex and even delicate past midpalate. This cabernet was in our opinion much better than the Napa Reserve from Harlan and at a better price point as well.

On the nose it opens up with aromatic hints of marmalade, pepper, and well rounded floral bouquet. The perfect balance of fruit combined with hints of pepper, slight earth tones as well as a not-too dry, well balanced finish. Blended from the fruit of the famed Georges III vineyard in Rutherford with near-legendary To Kalon.

We are offering this wonderful extraction for $49.00 with Free Shipping (regular $70) for a limited time only!
