Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Perhaps the finest Vacqueyras I have ever tasted from Chateau des Roques, the 2009 reveals copious black currant and sweet cherry notes intermixed with notions of smoked herbs and earth. Composed of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre aged in foudre and tank, ... creamy texture and..

Soft and Delicious
A quintessential Dolcetto, soft and juicy with a core of bright, floral red fruit that caresses the palate through to the long finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A Morrell Discovery - This inexpensive, Grand Gallius delicious Medoc is a sample of how good the 2009 Bordeaux vintage is. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines the softness of the Merlot with the structure and backbone of the Cabernet. This is definitely a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Fine floral, mineral, spicy Cabernet blackfruit aromas... impressive, mouthfilling, palate coating, classic Bordeaux Cabernet flavors... handsome claret at an eminently affordable price."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Merlot makes this wine smooth and accessible, Cabernet Franc lends cherry, blackberry, and vanilla aromas with tannins that are soft and gentle, while Cabernet brings in the tannins and a slightly herbaceous quality.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Villa Antinori is a pretty, mid-weight wine laced with dark red berries, flowers and sweet spices. Nothing in particular stands out, just the wine’s lovely depth, balance and overall sense of harmony. This is a fabulous wine for the money."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2009 Palazzo della Torre comes across as somewhat restrained for this wine.

Palazzo della Torre is 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2011 Woodcutters Shiraz doesn’t miss a beat in this difficult vintage. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is scented of cassis, black plums and macerated blackberries over nuances of charcoal, black pepper, smoked duck breast and violets. Full-bodied and packed with black berry and savory meat and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Celeste is 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero aged for 12 months in French and American oak. It offers up an already complex nose of cedar, exotic spices, incense, lavender, espresso, and blackberry. This is followed by a supple, spicy, ripe, layered wine that will evolve for another..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This rich red leads with a distinct earthiness to its dark cassis, plum reduction and kirsch notes, gaining traction with layers of woodsy spices, maduro tobacco and licorice that unfold on the long, ... finish."
