L’Epicourchois Cour-Cheverny 2015
Regular Price $34.99
Sale price $17.99
These grapes are from 100 year old vines and are vinified in old large oak vats. The wine spends lengthy time on its lies and in bottle before release. Hence, the wine is big and rich with appreciable grip. Not excessively fruity, it is shows more field grass and nut aromas and flavors than fresh fruit, with a backdrop of dried, tart apricots. It’s really quite interesting and really delicious.
Chateau de Vaugelas Corbieres 2014
Regular Price $21.99
Sale price $14.99
Super classy red blend for the Rhone lover! Red and black fruits, mineral, wild herbs and smooth and supple tannins. Not overbearing, just really lovely to drink with mixed cheeses, lamb and pork dishes.
Domaine Vincent Paris ‘Les Cotes’ Saint-Joseph 2016
Regular Price $32.99
Sale price $25.99
One of the best (and best value) wines of the Northern Rhone this is of 100% Syrah and rather than the intensely brooding style typical of the region, this wine is rich and full but surprisingly nimble and energetic. Dense dark berry, plum and mocha leads to an invigorating finish.
Chateau Lanessan Haut-Médoc 2015
Regular price: $27.99
Sale Price: $21.99
This is classic Bordeaux with a few modern touches…meant to be consumed rather than cellared. Bold fruit but the minerality is apparent, along with the integrated oak. Well balanced with enough tannins to give it depth and interest.
