Pride
Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Napa/Sonoma Counties
$69.99
WS 91 “Firm and tannic, with earth, herb, dried sage and dried currant flavors that keep the dry, tannic profile through the finish. Rustic but concentrated”.
Wine Enthusiast 91 “Richness is what this Cab is all about. It bursts on the palate with superripe blackberry jam, cassis, currant and chocolate flavors. Shows some unorganized structure right now, but should age for a number of years, to judge by the voluminous tannins”.

Altesino
Brunello di Montalcino 2004
$62.99
WS 92 “Shows bright berry, earth, mushroom and leather on the nose. Full-bodied, with very ripe, almost raisiny fruit. Tight and lean now, but the rich fruit comes through on the finish. Give this time. Best after 2011.”
Fanti
Sant’Antimo 2007
$16.99
Parker 88 “Fanti’s 2007 Sant’Antimo Rosso (Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet) is once again a delicious, value-priced wine, something that isn’t easy to find in Montalcino. This soft, floral red offers plenty of dark fruit in a fresh, affable style perfect for casual drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012″.
Chateau Malmaison
Moulis 2005
$27.99
WS 91 “Very dark purple in color, showing aromas of mineral, dark chocolate and licorice. Full-bodied, with silkey tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Layered and pretty. Very, very balanced. Close to the excellent 2000. Best after 2012″.
Phillippe Colin
Chassagne-Montrachet 2004
“Les Chaumees”
Premier Cru
Reg. $74.99, Now $49.98!
Tanzer 91 “Somewhat stunted nose hints at honey, gunflint, menthol and wet stone. Then ripe and concentrated but a bit youthfully tight, with somewhat muted stone fruit and mineral flavors. A less fruity style of wine that’s currently showing limited sweetness. Yet it appears to have all the elements to make a very good bottle.”
