Pierre Usseglio
Tradition
Chateauneuf Du Pape 2006
(1.5L)
Was $98.99, Now $86.98
Tanzer 92 “Dark red. Very precise aromas of strawberry and cherry, with a suave mineral underpinning and a whiff of fresh rose adding complexity. Very Burgundian in its relatively light body, silky texture and graceful red fruit flavors. Picks up an exotic cinnamon quality on the long, sappy finish. This offers fabulous potential for an entry-level wine.”
There are 2 bottles available.
Mas de Boislauzon
Chateauneuf du Pape
Quet 2006
(750ml)
Was $84.99, Now $63.98
WS 93 “Very rich and polished, with layers of black Mission fig, bittersweet ganache, hoisin sauce, melted black licorice, Black Forest cake and currant confiture, all stretched over ample but fine-grained tannins. Really long, with ample grip for the vintage. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Best from 2010 through 2028. 380 cases made”
Tanzer 92 “Dark red. Pungent, spicy scents of red berry liqueur and kirsch, along with deeper mocha and licorice qualities. Energetic and gently sweet, with deep red and dark berry flavors underscored by zesty minerals and firmed by dusty tannins. Gains weight and power with air, finishing spicy and broad, with excellent sappy cling and a strong echo of dark fruit. I’d let this one rest for a few years.”
Domaine Boissan
Gigondas
Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2006
(750ml)

Tanzer 88 “Medium red. Seductive aromas of red berry preserves, potpourri and smoky minerals. Deeper cherry and dark berries in the mouth, with supple tannins adding shape. Open-knit and easy to drink. ”
Bouchard 2007
Bourgogne Blanc

“Outstanding Top Value”
Burghound 86 “An exuberantly fruity and floral nose leads to delicious, minerally and nicely intense flavors that possess good punch on the lemony, clean and dry finish. This offers good depth and fine balance. Recommended.”
Bouchard 2007
Bourgogne Rouge

“Outstanding Top Value”
Burghound 86 “A ripe, pretty and mildly earthy red berry fruit nose leads to nicely concentrated flavors that are supported by moderately firm tannins and solid persistence on the attractively complex finish. Fine quality at this level and worth a look.”
