Fuente Elvira
Verdejo 2008
Rueda
$14.99
Tanzer 90 “Light yellow-gold. Sexy aromas of Meyer lemon, yellow rose, anise and mace. Pliant and gently sweet, with fresh lemon/lime and pink grapefruit flavors and a gentle smoky quality. The floral element repeats on the finish, which is spicy, focused and quite long. Give this a little air”.

This is in house and just waiting for you to take it home and open it!

*******************March, 2010*******************

March’s”Wine of the Month” is the Rigal Malbec.

Rigal
Malbec 2008
Vin de Pays du Lot
$12.99
It is known as the “Original Malbec” because many people forget the importance of the Malbec grape in France.  Malbec has really taken off in Latin America but the French have been using it for generations.  It is one of the varietals allowed in Bordeaux.  Malbec has done especially well in the region of Cahors, France where Malbec is also known as Auxerrois or Cot Noir.

You will receive 15% off this wine all month long when you present you “Wine of the Month” Card.

Bodegas Borsao
Crianza Seleccion 2006
50% Granacha, 25% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon
$14.99
Parker 89 “The 2006 Crianza Seleccion is purple-colored with a fragrant nose of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and black currant. Smooth-textured, savory, and ripe, it has excellent depth, concentration, and length. It will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2010 to 2016.”

Estampa
Reserve 2007
Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Colchagua Valley, Chile
$12.99
Not quite tannic enough to be considered a baby Bordeaux but far more approachable than any 2007 Bordeaux.  Estampa has taken the traditional Bordeaux grapes and blended them into an old world style with a new world twist.
